Our verdict

Is Ultimate Pet Nutrition Nutra Complete Premium Pork Recipe Adult Dog Food a good dog food?

We score it 69/100 (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 69, in the top quarter of dry foods we track.
Single named animal protein: pork.
Doesn't list grain ingredients.

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.

Who is this food for?

Suits

Recipe: how the 1-100 score is calculated

Why this score?

The overall score was 69 out of 100. Undeclared ingredient shares, meaning ingredients without printed percentages, contributed -10.6 points. The processing format contributed +6.6 points, while the overall quality of the ingredient list added +6.5 points. Finally, being labelled nutritionally complete contributed +2.3 points.

Scored with model v3 on 2026-10-25. Each component is the feature value for this product multiplied by the model's published coefficient.

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	33	34.7 (band 25.626315789473683 to 40%)	100
Fat	35	36.8 (band 7.830263157894736 to 20%)	100
Fibre	3	3.2 (band 0.5 to 5%)	100
Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3)	-	-	100
Energy (kcal/100g)	541	569.5	50

Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3): scored as the mean of its declared components (omega-6 100). The FEDIAF minimum for omega-6 is linoleic acid specifically.

Scored over 5 declared nutrients (combined weight 70); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.

Portion-control flag: 541 kcal/100g as fed with fat at 36.8% 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

"0 Fillers, Artificial Preservatives, or Added Grain" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
"complete and balanced veterinarian-developed blend" — supported by the declared complete and balanced data.
