The open algorithm

The only dog food rating with the formula published

Other sites ask you to trust them. We show the working: every weight, every penalty, and a point-by-point breakdown on every food page. When we're wrong, you can see exactly where - and tell us.

How our rating works
01We take the label - ingredients, analysis, additives - exactly as the manufacturer declares it.
02The algorithm scores 6 things: ingredient quality, meat content, label clarity, additives, nutritional balance and processing.
03Red flags cost points. Nothing else moves the score - not adverts, not commissions, not brands asking nicely.
