Connolly's RED MILLS Treats with Turkey
Treat complementary High meat
Is Connolly's RED MILLS Treats with Turkey 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.
100% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.
- RecipeNot applicable
- NutritionalNot applicable
- Transparency55
- Safety100
- Evidencemoderate100
Why you might choose it
- Meat makes up an estimated 34% of the dry matter (29% as fed).
- Doesn't list grain ingredients.
Why you might not
- A treat, not a complete diet: feed as an extra, not the whole diet.
- 100% of the recipe mass has no printed percentage, so the exact split cannot be verified.
What the label tells us
- The label lists 7 ingredients.
- Names its animal sources (2 named ingredients).
- Every animal ingredient is a named source.
- Lists no artificial colours or preservatives.
- Prints no ingredient quantities.
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.
| Item | Points |
|---|---|
| Ingredient list on the label (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Printed percentages on the label (voluntary) - not on file | 0/20 |
| Analytical constituents declared (mandatory) | 15/15 |
| Additives declared (mandatory) | 5/10 |
| Energy value declared (voluntary) - not on file | 0/5 |
| Complete/complementary designation (mandatory) | 5/5 |
| Feeding guidance given (mandatory) - not on file | 0/10 |
| Manufacturer identity and address (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Country of manufacture stated (voluntary) | 10/10 |
| Batch and date labelling (mandatory) - not on file | 0/5 |
Capped at 60: mandatory items missing (Feeding guidance given, Batch and date labelling).
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.
100/100 · moderate — 1 checkable claim: 1 consistent, 0 contradicted.
Consistent with the label
- "Grain-free, guilt-free treating" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
4 further claims on file that we cannot check against the label.
Moderate: every checkable claim is consistent with the declared label.
| Claim | Type | Check | Substantiation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sustainably sourced, fully traceable and 100% Irish ingredients (on page) | provenance | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| No artificial colour, flavour or added sugars (on page) | Free-from | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| Turkey is an excellent source of protein and nutrients, including essential B vitamins. (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| Grain-free, guilt-free treating (on page) | Free-from | consistent | Manufacturer assertion |
