Our verdict

Is Wild Pet Food 80/20 Fresh Frozen a good dog food?

We score it 91/100 (Good). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.

Complete frozen fresh food for dogs of all life stages, with cod, beef heart and beef lung as the main ingredients.

How we score

Why you might choose it

  • Scores 91, in the top quarter of fresh foods we track.
  • Meat makes up an estimated 77% of the dry matter (81% as fed).
  • Prints ingredient percentages on the label.

Why you might not

  • High in fat: 23% fat on a dry-matter basis.
  • Needs freezer space and defrosting before serving.

Who is this food for?

Suits

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

Consider something else if:

  • Your dog avoids beef: the label lists beef heart
  • Your dog avoids fish: the label lists cod
  • You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein
  • You are limiting fat: 23.3% 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.

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
Protein1756.7 (band 18 to 40%)100
Fat723.3 (band 5.5 to 20%)100
Fibre13.3 (band 0.5 to 5%)100

Scored over 3 declared nutrients (combined weight 50); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.

No nutritional additives section declared on the label.

Medium confidence: the full five-part analysis is on file; where moisture was not declared it was 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.

75/100 · limited — 4 checkable claims: 3 consistent, 1 contradicted.

Contradicted by the label

  • "Novel fish protein Highly digestible, hypoallergenic protein source that can help support dogs with sensitive digestion and food sensitivities" — the declared label says otherwise on fish.

Consistent with the label

  • "High protein feeding" — supported by the declared high protein data.
  • "High in Animal Protein: Helps maintain strong muscles to support joints" — supported by the declared high protein data.
  • "Grain, Pea and Legume Free" — supported by the declared grain-free data.

17 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.
