The Recipe score measures how attractive and transparent the declared ingredient list is. It is not, by itself, proof that the food is nutritionally appropriate for long-term feeding. The Nutritional and Evidence scores measure what we can verify towards that stronger claim.
Complete wet paté food for adult dogs, with meat and animal derivatives, cereals and egg as the main ingredients.
Why you might choose it
- High in protein: 32% protein on a dry-matter basis.
- Declares energy content, which most labels omit.
- Nutritionally complete: formulated to be fed as the whole diet.
Why you might not
- 4 poor-graded ingredients make up about 42% of the recipe.
- 100% of the recipe mass has no printed percentage, so the exact split cannot be verified.

Feeding guide
The recommended period of use is initially up to 12 weeks but this diet is suitable for long-term use where appropriate. It is recommended that a veterinarian’s opinion be sought before use. Clean, fresh drinking water should always be available. Depending on the individual condition, a gradual introduction of the new diet over a few days is usually recommended. Feeding small quantities of food several times a day helps to optimise digestion and absorption. Daily feeding quantities: 2.5 kg: 1/2 can; 5 kg: 1 can; 10 kg: 1+1/2 cans; 15 kg: 1+3/4 cans; 25 kg: 2+2/3 cans; 35 kg: 3+1/4 cans; 45 kg: 3+3/4 cans; 70 kg: 5+1/4 cans.

Who is this food for?
Suits
- Labelled by the manufacturer for adult dogs

Consider something else if:
- Your dog avoids chicken: it is listed as an ingredient
- Your dog avoids turkey: it is listed as an ingredient
- Your dog avoids pork: the label lists pork
- Your dog avoids grain: the label lists cereals
- You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein

Nutritional: declared analysis vs reference ranges
How the declared analysis compares with FEDIAF reference ranges for adult dogs. The label prints as-fed values; we convert to a dry-matter basis before scoring, and the bands are dry-matter ranges. Scores rise to 100 at the band midpoint: the reference is adequacy, not maximisation. Nutrients with a published upper limit taper again above it; fat is policed through calorie density rather than a direct penalty.
| Nutrient | As fed (label) | Dry matter (scored) | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protein | 8.9 | 31.9 (band 18 to 40%) | 100 |
| Fat | 5 | 17.9 (band 5.5 to 20%) | 100 |
| Fibre | 0.8 | 2.9 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 100 |
| Energy (kcal/100g) | 116 | 415.8 | 100 |
Scored over 4 declared nutrients (combined weight 60); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.
Medium confidence: the full five-part analysis is on file; where moisture was not declared it was estimated from the food type.
This measures agreement with published reference ranges, not suitability for an individual dog. For medical conditions, follow veterinary guidance.
Transparency: what the label discloses
How much the manufacturer discloses, measured against the FEDIAF Code of Good Labelling Practice and Regulation 767/2009. Mandatory items dominate the weighting.
| Item | Points |
|---|---|
| Ingredient list on the label (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Printed percentages on the label (voluntary) - not on file | 0/20 |
| Analytical constituents declared (mandatory) | 15/15 |
| Additives declared (mandatory) | 5/10 |
| Energy value declared (voluntary) | 5/5 |
| Complete/complementary designation (mandatory) | 5/5 |
| Feeding guidance given (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Manufacturer identity and address (mandatory) | 5/10 |
| Country of manufacture stated (voluntary) | 10/10 |
| Batch and date labelling (mandatory) - not on file | 0/5 |
Capped at 60: mandatory items missing (Batch and date labelling).
Safety: recall history
Recall and safety-notice history, time-decayed. This dimension is shown alongside the score and never feeds the headline number.
No recalls recorded in our database.

Evidence: what the brand claims, and what supports it
The marketing claims made on the pack and product page, and how much evidence sits behind them. We record the claims as stated; we do not assess whether they are true.
| Claim | Type | Substantiation |
|---|---|---|
| Easy to digest ingredients to help reduce workload of the compromised gut (on page) | Functional | Manufacturer assertion |
| With a special fat source (coconut oil) high in Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCFA) for easy gut absorption (on page) | Functional | Manufacturer assertion |
| Complete dietetic pet food for adult dogs, highly digestible, low fibre formulation for reduction of intestinal absorptive disorders, compensation for maldigestion and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. (on page) | Functional | Manufacturer assertion |
| Low fat level to help minimise fat maldigestion (on page) | High/low level | Manufacturer assertion |
Limited: at least one claim rests on manufacturer assertion alone.
