Who is this food for?
Suits
- Labelled by the manufacturer for adult dogs
- Doesn't list beef, lamb, fish, venison, pork, duck as ingredients
Consider something else if:
- Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists chicken
- Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists turkey
- Your dog avoids grain: the label lists barley
- You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein
- You are limiting fat: 30.8% on a dry-matter basis is in the high band
These points are derived from declared ingredients and analysis, not a substitute for veterinary advice. If your dog has a diagnosed condition, food choice is a medical nutrition decision: speak to your vet. Find foods that fit your dog.

Recipe: how the 1-100 score is calculated
Why this score?
The overall score is 76 out of 100. The overall quality of the ingredient list contributed +7.3 points, and the meat content contributed +3.5 points. Ingredients without printed percentages reduced the score by -3, while being labelled nutritionally complete added +2.3 points.
Scored with model v3 on 2026-10-25. Each component is the feature value for this product multiplied by the model's published coefficient.

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 | 9 | 34.6 (band 19.384615384615383 to 40%) | 100 |
| Fat | 8 | 30.8 (band 5.9230769230769225 to 20%) | 100 |
| Fibre | 2 | 7.7 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 100 |
| Calcium | 0.8 | 3.1 (band 0.5384615384615384 to 2.5%) | 76.9 |
| Phosphorus | 0.4 | 1.5 (band 0.4307692307692308 to 1.6%) | 100 |
| Calcium:phosphorus ratio | 2 | 2 (band 1 to 2%) | 100 |
| Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3) | - | - | 100 |
| Energy (kcal/100g) | 112 | 430.8 | 100 |
Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3): scored as the mean of its declared components (omega-6 100). The FEDIAF minimum for omega-6 is linoleic acid specifically.
Scored over 8 declared nutrients (combined weight 100); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.
Declared fortification: 7 nutritional additives on the label
- Vitamin A 3,300 IU
- Vitamin D3 275 IU
- Zinc (as Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate) 27.5 mg
- Iron (as Iron (II) Sulphate Monohydrate) 13.2 mg
- Manganese (as Manganous Sulphate Monohydrate) 2.2 mg
- Copper (as Copper (II) Sulphate Pentahydrate) 1.32 mg
- Selenium (as Sodium Selenite) 0.044 mg
High confidence: full analysis plus minerals or omegas and declared energy.
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 (71.6% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 14.3/20 |
| Analytical constituents declared (mandatory) | 15/15 |
| Additives declared (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| 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).
