EcoPet Cold-Pressed Wild Salmon and Brook Trout
Dry Cold Pressed complete
Is EcoPet Cold-Pressed Wild Salmon and Brook Trout a good dog food?
We score it 49/100 (Average). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.
Why this score?
The product received a score of 49 out of 100. Undeclared ingredient shares detracted from the score, with ingredients without printed percentages contributing -10.6 points. The overall quality of the ingredient list helped, adding +7.7 points to the total. However, the processing format reduced the score by -6.7 points, and the oil and fat content further lowered it by -1.7 points.
100% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.

- NutritionalNot recorded
- Transparency45
- Safety100
- EvidenceNot recorded
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.
Why you might choose it
- Doesn't list grain ingredients.
- Nutritionally complete: formulated to be fed as the whole diet.
Why you might not
- No analytical breakdown is published.
- 100% of the recipe mass has no printed percentage, so the exact split cannot be verified.

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.
Claims on file; none we can check against the label

| Nutrient rich human grade fish, wild and regionally sourced (on page) | provenance | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| Inulin prebiotics increase the efficiency of the immune system while maintaining a healthy gut (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
