Reiskost
This is a complementary food, not a complete diet. The 1–100 rating applies to complete foods, so it isn't scored. Ingredient breakdown below.

Our verdict

Is Vollmer’s Reiskost 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.

How we score

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

31% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.

Why you might choose it

  • Single named animal protein: fish.
  • Low in fat for its format: 5% fat on a dry-matter basis.
  • Declares energy content, which most labels omit.

Why you might not

  • A complementary food, not a complete diet: feed alongside a complete food.
  • Around 64% of the recipe is generic or unspecified ingredients.
  • Low in protein: 8% protein on a dry-matter basis.

Who is this food for?

Suits

  • Labelled by the manufacturer for all lifestages
  • Single named protein: fish
  • Doesn't list chicken, beef, turkey, lamb, venison, pork, duck as ingredients

Consider something else if:

  • Your dog avoids grain: the label lists rice - white
  • You need more protein than this: 8.0% on a dry-matter basis is in the low 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 24 ingredients.
  • Names its animal sources (1 named ingredient).
  • Every animal ingredient is a named source.
  • Lists no artificial colours or preservatives.
  • Prints quantities for 1 ingredient.
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.

Nutritional: declared analysis vs reference ranges

Not applicable to complementary food. FEDIAF reference ranges apply to complete diets.

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.

Safety: recall history

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

No recalls recorded in our database.

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.
