Puppy Turkey with Rice and Vegetables Training Treats
This is sold as a treat, not as an everyday meal. The 1–100 rating applies to complete meals, so it isn't scored. Ingredient breakdown below.

Our verdict

Is Wainwright's Puppy Turkey with Rice and Vegetables Training Treats a good dog food?

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

Complementary treats for puppies, with turkey, dehydrated turkey protein and peas as the main ingredients.

How we score

Why you might choose it

  • Meat makes up an estimated 33% of the dry matter (34% as fed).
  • Prints ingredient percentages on the label.
  • Prints a percentage for nearly every ingredient, so the recipe is fully auditable.

Why you might not

  • A treat, not a complete diet: feed as an extra, not the whole diet.

Who is this food for?

Suits

  • Labelled by the manufacturer for puppies
  • Doesn't list beef, lamb, fish, venison, pork, duck as ingredients

Consider something else if:

  • Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists poultry fat
  • Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists turkey
  • Your dog avoids grain: the label lists rice - brown / whole grain
  • You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein

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 11 ingredients.
  • Names its animal sources (1 named ingredient).
  • Uses generic terms (Turkey): the specific animal source is not stated.
  • Lists no artificial colours or preservatives.
  • Prints quantities for 9 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.

Feeding and storage

Storage

Store in a cool dry place. Once opened reseal to maintain freshness.

Feeding guide

Feed as a treat or a reward anytime as part of a balanced diet. Ensure you select the appropriate size treat for your puppy and break into smaller pieces if necessary, also taking into consideration their feeding behaviour. It is important not to overfeed your puppy. Treats should be given on a non-stainable surface. Always provide plenty of fresh water for your pet.

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.

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.

0/100 · limited — 3 checkable claims: 0 consistent, 3 contradicted.

Contradicted by the label

  • "single-source protein" — the declared label says otherwise on single protein.
  • "Made from a single source protein" — the declared label says otherwise on single protein.
  • "No added dairy, wheat, pork, soya" — the declared label says otherwise on grain-free.

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

Limited: at least one claim contradicts the declared label, or a recent upheld ASA ruling applies.
