Our verdict

Is Full Moon Pet Freshly Crafted Chicken Recipe a good dog food?

We score it 54/100 (Average). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.

How we score

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

100% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.

Why you might choose it

Doesn't list grain ingredients.
A minimally processed format: kept frozen, not heat-treated.
Declares energy content, which most labels omit.

Why you might not

Meat makes up an estimated 6% of the dry matter (12% as fed); carbohydrates dominate.
100% of the recipe mass has no printed percentage, so the exact split cannot be verified.
Its additive load costs about 4 points in the rating.

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, venison, pork, duck as ingredients

Consider something else if:

Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists chicken
Your dog avoids fish: the label lists fish oil
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. Find foods that fit your dog.

Why this score?

This recipe achieves a total score of 54 out of 100 based on several key factors. The presence of ingredients without printed percentages contributed -10.6 to the overall rating, while the overall quality of the ingredient list added +4. Furthermore, the additive load contributed -4, and the additives in the recipe adjusted the score by +3.9.

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.

Guaranteed-analysis FEDIAF score: crude minimums and maximums are bounds, not typical values; moisture (a maximum) uses the processing median where available; experimental US score.

Nutrient	As fed (label)	Dry matter (scored)	Score
Protein	10	35.7 (band 22.09821428571429 to 40%)	100
Fat	8	28.6 (band 6.752232142857144 to 20%)	100
Fibre	3	10.7 (band 0.5 to 5%)	100
Energy (kcal/100g)	137.5	491.1	100

Fibre: Declared as a maximum; the high-fibre taper is not applied.

Scored over 4 declared nutrients (combined weight 60); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score. Moisture was not declared and was estimated at 72% from the food type.

Declared fortification: 6 nutritional additives on the label

Zinc Proteinate
Copper Proteinate
Vitamin E Supplement
Manganese Proteinate
Vitamin D3 Supplement
Potassium Iodide

Low confidence: partial analysis or moisture 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.

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

Consistent with the label

"Grain Free" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
"No Grains Or Soy" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
"97% protein is sourced from USDA-certified animal meat and liver" — supported by the declared high protein data.

13 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.
