Our verdict

Is Southend Dog White Fish & Turkey Raw Dog Food (80/10/10) a good dog food?

This is a complementary food, not a complete diet, so it is not scored on our 1-100 scale. The ingredient breakdown below shows what is in it; a complementary food should be fed alongside, not instead of, a complete diet.

Complementary raw food for dogs of all life stages, with turkey, white fish and bone as the main ingredients.

How we score

Why you might choose it

  • Prints ingredient percentages on the label.
  • Prints a percentage for nearly every ingredient, so the recipe is fully auditable.
  • Doesn't list grain ingredients.

Why you might not

  • A complementary food, not a complete diet: feed alongside a complete food.
  • Around 76% of the recipe is generic or unspecified ingredients.
  • High in fat: 35% fat on a dry-matter basis.

Who is this food for?

Suits

  • Labelled by the manufacturer for all lifestages
  • Grain-free: no grain ingredients listed
  • Doesn't list chicken, beef, lamb, venison, pork, duck as ingredients

Consider something else if:

  • Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists turkey
  • Your dog avoids fish: the label lists white fish
  • You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein
  • You are limiting fat: 35.0% 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.

What the label tells us

  • The label lists 4 ingredients.
  • Names its animal sources (2 named ingredients).
  • Uses generic terms (Turkey): the specific animal source is not stated.
  • Lists no artificial colours or preservatives.
  • Prints quantities for 4 ingredients.
Why is this treat not scored?

Our 1 to 100 rating applies to complete diets, so treats and complementary foods are presented as what the label tells us rather than a number that would invite comparison with complete meals.

What should I look for on a treat label?

A short ingredient list, named animal sources instead of generic terms, and no artificial colours or preservatives. Printed quantities are a good transparency signal, though few treat labels provide them.

These points are derived from the published ingredient list, not a rating.

Contributions are rounded to two decimals, so they may not sum exactly to the subtotal. The full coefficient table is published on the methodology page.

This is not a complete diet, so the 1-100 rating does not apply to it. Read the recipe breakdown above as ingredient-quality context only.

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.

Safety: recall history

Recall and safety-notice history, time-decayed. This dimension is shown alongside the score and never feeds the headline number.

Evidence: what the brand claims, and what supports it

The claims made on the pack and product page, checked against the declared label. We record claims as stated; "consistent" means our stored label data supports the claim, "contradicted" means it conflicts with it. Functional claims are recorded but never scored.

100/100 · moderate — 1 checkable claim: 1 consistent, 0 contradicted.

Consistent with the label

  • "No grains, additives, or fillers" — supported by the declared grain-free data.

10 further claims on file that we cannot check against the label.

Moderate: every checkable claim is consistent with the declared label.
