Complete extruded dry food for adult dogs, with seafood, white fish and potatoes as the main ingredients.

How we score

Only part of the analytical constituents are declared, so the nutritional picture is incomplete.

Why you might choose it

  • Meat makes up an estimated 42% of the dry matter (37% as fed).
  • Prints ingredient percentages on the label.
  • Single named animal protein: fish.

Why you might not

Recipe: how the 1-100 score is calculated

Why this score?

This food achieves an overall score of 64 out of 100. The meat content contributed +3.9 points, while the overall quality of the ingredient list added +7.3 points. However, the processing format reduced the score by -6.7 points. Additionally, ingredients without printed percentages subtracted -6.9 points from the total.

Scored with model v3 on 2026-10-25. Each component is the feature value for this product multiplied by the model's published coefficient.

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.

NutrientAs fed (label)Dry matter (scored)Score

Fat1314.4 (band 5.5 to 20%)100
Fibre33.3 (band 0.5 to 5%)100
Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3)--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 4 declared nutrients (combined weight 60); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score. Moisture was not declared and was estimated at 9.5% from the food type.

Declared fortification: 12 nutritional additives on the label
  • Vitamin A (retinyl acetate, 3a672a) 25,200 iu/kg
  • Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol, 3a671) 2,000 iu/kg
  • Vitamin E (alpha tocopherol, 3a700) 250 mg/kg
  • Taurine (3a370) 500 mg/kg
  • Carnitine (3a910) 250 mg/kg
  • Iron (iron (II) sulphate monohydrate, 3b103) 50 mg/kg
  • Iodine (calcium iodate anhydrous, 3b202) 2 mg/kg
  • Copper (copper (II) sulphate pentahydrate, 3b405) 10.3 mg/kg
  • Manganese (manganese (II) oxide, 3b502) 45 mg/kg

  • Selenium (sodium selenite, 3b801) 0.04 mg/kg

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.

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.
