Our verdict

Is Lily's Kitchen Fresh Recipes Chicken with Pork a good dog food?

We score it 76/100 (Good). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.

Complete shelf-stable fresh food for adult dogs, with chicken, pork and pumpkin as the main ingredients.

How we score

32% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.

Why you might choose it

  • Meat makes up an estimated 61% of the dry matter (60% as fed).
  • Prints ingredient percentages on the label.
  • Doesn't list grain ingredients.

Why you might not

  • High in fat: 24% fat on a dry-matter basis.

Who is this food for?

Suits

  • Labelled by the manufacturer for adult dogs
  • Grain-free: no grain ingredients listed
  • Doesn't list beef, turkey, lamb, fish, venison, duck as ingredients

Consider something else if:

  • Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists chicken
  • Your dog avoids pork: the label lists pork
  • You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein
  • You are limiting fat: 23.8% 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.

Scored over 4 declared nutrients (combined weight 60); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.

Declared fortification: 5 nutritional additives on the label
  • Vitamin D3 200 IU/kg
  • Vitamin E 20 mg/kg
  • Zinc (Zinc chelate of glycine hydrate (solid)) 25 mg/kg
  • Manganese (Manganese chelate of glycine hydrate) 1.4 mg/kg
  • Copper (Copper (II) chelate of amino acids hydrate) 1.5 mg/kg

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.

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

  • "Complete and balanced" — supported by the declared complete and balanced data.
  • "Made with complete nutrition and tasty, natural ingredients" — supported by the declared complete and balanced data.
  • "Complete Nutrition" — supported by the declared complete and balanced data.

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

Strong: at least three checkable claims, all consistent with the declared label, and no compliance cap.
