Score history across model versions
The score shown above is always computed with the latest published model. Earlier scores are kept for the record and are never edited or deleted; a scoring change ships as a new model version with a public write-up on the methodology page.
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 | 40 | 44.5 (band 18.74164810690423 to 40%) | 100 |
| Fat | 17 | 18.9 (band 5.726614699331848 to 20%) | 100 |
| Fibre | 5 | 5.6 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 100 |
| Energy (kcal/100g) | 374 | 416.5 | 100 |
Scored over 4 declared nutrients (combined weight 60); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score. Moisture was not declared and was estimated at 10.2% from the food type.
Declared fortification: 12 nutritional additives on the label
- Vitamin A 15,000IU
- Vitamin D3 1500IU
- Vitamin E 200mg
- Beta carotene 20mg
- Taurine 1,000mg
- L-carnitine 250mg
- Zinc (as zinc chloride hydroxide monohydrate) 100mg
- Iron (as iron(ll) chelate of protein hydrolysates) 60mg

- Copper (as copper(ll) chelate of protein hydrolysate) 10mg
- Iodine (as calcium iodate, anhydrous) 2mg
- Selenium (as sodium selenite) 0.05mg
Low confidence: partial analysis or moisture 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.
