our rating

Is Wolf of Wilderness Scarlet Sunrise Salmon & Tuna a good dog food?

We score it 73/100 (Good). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.

How we score

Why this score?

This food achieves an overall score of 73 out of 100 based on several key factors. The meat content contributed +5.6 points, while the overall quality of the ingredient list added +6.1. Furthermore, printing percentages on the label contributed +3.2 to the score. However, ingredients without printed percentages resulted in a deduction of -6.9 points.

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

53% 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.

Feeding guide

Complete food for adult dogs. Daily serving varies by dog's weight (1-80 kg) and activity level (low/average/increased), e.g. 5 kg dog: 85-120 g; 20 kg dog: 245-335 g. When switching to the new recipe, replace 1/4 of the old food with 1/4 of the new food every 3 days. Always provide fresh drinking water.

Who is this food for?

Suits

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

Consider something else if:

  • Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists hydrolysed poultry protein
  • Your dog avoids beef: the label lists beef fat
  • Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists hydrolysed poultry protein
  • Your dog avoids fish: the label lists salmon protein
  • Your dog avoids pork: the label lists pork
  • 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. Use the homepage filter to 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.

Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3)--100
Energy (kcal/100g)3681752.4100

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 8 declared nutrients (combined weight 100); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score. Moisture was not declared and was estimated at 79% from the food type.

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.
