Where the points went

The full breakdown, exactly as the algorithm scored it. How our rating works

Ingredient quality
Weighted ingredient quality 52/100 across 1 ingredients (no percentages declared - position-based estimates used). Named meat is only 0% of the recognised recipe, so the quality score is anchored down towards a plant-led food.

Label clarity
Every ingredient individually named (+5); no percentages declared at all - the recipe is unverifiable; recipe reads as a fixed formula (+2).
7 / 15
Additives

Our analysis

Breaking the 36 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 16.6 of a possible 40.

The label declares no meat percentage at all, so there is no way to verify how much of the recipe is animal protein, and the ingredient list is only partly specific.

At about £5.11 a day to feed a 10kg dog, the question is not whether it is cheap but whether the label justifies the price - and on our scoring, it does not.
