Wysong Epigen Turkey Starch Free Canned Dog & Cat Food

Wet Pate complementary

This is a complementary food, not a complete diet. The 1–100 rating applies to complete foods, so it isn't scored. Ingredient breakdown below.

Is Wysong Epigen Turkey Starch Free Canned Dog & Cat Food a good dog food?

This is a complementary food, not a complete diet, so it is not scored on our 1-100 scale. The ingredient breakdown below shows what is in it; a complementary food should be fed alongside, not instead of, a complete diet.

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

  • Single named animal protein: turkey.
  • Doesn't list grain ingredients.
  • Declares energy content, which most labels omit.

Why you might not

  • A complementary food, not a complete diet: feed alongside a complete food.
  • 1 poor-graded ingredient makes up about 20% of the recipe.
  • 100% of the recipe mass has no printed percentage, so the exact split cannot be verified.

What the label tells us

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.

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.

Claims on file; none we can check against the label
