Is Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream Canine Recipe with Salmon in Gravy a good dog food?
We score it 56/100 (Average). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.
Why this score?
This recipe achieves a total score of 56 out of 100 based on several key factors. The presence of ingredients without printed percentages contributed -13.1 to the overall rating, while the overall quality of the ingredient list added +5.6. Furthermore, the additive load contributed -3.3, and the additives in the recipe adjusted the score by +2.8.
Only part of the analytical constituents are declared, so the nutritional picture is incomplete.
100% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.

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 food in chunks for dogs of all life stages, with white fish, cooking broth and water as the main ingredients.
Why you might choose it
- Doesn't list grain ingredients.
- High in protein: 42% protein on a dry-matter basis.
- Declares energy content, which most labels omit.
Why you might not
- Meat makes up an estimated 8% of the dry matter (13% as fed); carbohydrates dominate.
- 100% of the recipe mass has no printed percentage, so the exact split cannot be verified.
- Its additive load costs about 3 points in the rating.

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.
Guaranteed-analysis FEDIAF score: crude minimums and maximums are bounds, not typical values; moisture (a maximum) uses the processing median where available; experimental US score.
| Nutrient | As fed (label) | Dry matter (scored) | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protein | 7.5 | 35.7 (band 18 to 40%) | 100 |
| Fat | 3.5 | 16.7 (band 5.5 to 20%) | 100 |
| Fibre | 1 | 4.8 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 100 |
| Energy (kcal/100g) | 92.4 | 440 | 100 |
Scored over 4 declared nutrients (combined weight 60); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score. Moisture was not declared and was estimated at 79% from the food type.
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.
| 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) - not on file | 0/15 |
| 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 (Analytical constituents declared, Batch and date labelling).
Safety: recall history

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 |
|---|---|---|
| complete and balanced meal (on page) | Functional | Manufacturer assertion |
| Sweet potatoes, blueberries and raspberries are great sources of antioxidants to help give your friend a healthy lifestyle (on page) | Content | Manufacturer assertion |
| omega-3 fatty acids found in its main ingredient, salmon (on page) | Nutrient | Manufacturer assertion |
| formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for growth and maintenance including growth of large size dogs (70 lbs. or more as an adult) (on pack) | Functional | Manufacturer assertion |
Limited: at least one claim rests on manufacturer assertion alone.
