Where the points went

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

Ingredient quality
Weighted ingredient quality 68/100 across 5 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.
21.7 / 40
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
Added sugars/sweeteners (-4); declared additives below our neutral line, weakest being glycerin (-5.3).
0.8 / 10
Red flags
Glycerin at position 6 (-8).

Our analysis

Breaking the 33 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 21.7 of a possible 40. On top of that, 8 points are deducted outright for red-flag ingredients - a penalty applied before anything else is counted, which is why the total lands where it does.

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.

Ingredients

Straight from the label, grouped by role - every ingredient is coloured by our published classification and links to its full page.

Feeding & cost

What a bag actually costs to feed - worked out per dog, not per pack.

How heavy is your dog?

A typical 15 kg adult dog needs about 188 g a day.

No reliable price data for this food yet, so no cost estimate - we only show numbers we can back.

How we work this out
  1. Energy: an adult dog at rest needs about 95 × weight0.75 kcal a day (the FEDIAF maintenance formula - a 15 kg dog works out near 725 kcal).
  2. Portion: divide that by this food's energy density, 408 kcal/100g, to get the grams above - a denser food needs fewer grams.

Estimates scale to your dog's weight and the food's calorie density - a denser food needs fewer grams. A rough guide; always follow the pack. Try the full feeding calculator
