Our verdict

Is Addiction Pet Foods Wishbone Air-Dried Lamb Recipe a good dog food?

We score it 66/100 (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

Scores 66, in the top quarter of dry foods we track.
Doesn't list grain ingredients.
Declares energy content, which most labels omit.

Why you might not

Meat makes up an estimated 4% of the dry matter (10% 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 2 points in the rating.

Who is this food for?

Suits

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

Consider something else if:

Your dog avoids beef: it is listed as an ingredient
Your dog avoids lamb: the label lists lamb
Your dog avoids fish: the label lists green-lipped mussel
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.

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	35	38.9 (band 21 to 40%)	100
Fat	30	33.3 (band 6.416666666666667 to 20%)	100
Fibre	3	3.3 (band 0.5 to 5%)	100
Energy (kcal/100g)	420	466.7	50

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

Portion-control flag: 420 kcal/100g as fed with fat at 33.3% dry matter, above the reference band. High-energy foods need smaller portions.

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.

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 — 2 checkable claims: 2 consistent, 0 contradicted.

Consistent with the label

"high-protein recipe supports strength, lean muscle development, and overall vitality" — supported by the declared high protein data.
"grain-free" — supported by the declared grain-free data.

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