Where the points went

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

Ingredient quality
Weighted ingredient quality 53/100 across 14 ingredients (declared percentages used for 13, position estimates for the rest). Legumes carry 26% of the recipe. The FDA found no causal link between legume-rich diets and canine heart disease (DCM), though some cardiologists advise caution - noted for information, not scored. Named meat is only 14% of the recognised recipe, so the quality score is anchored down towards a plant-led food.
19.1 / 40
Label clarity
Every ingredient individually named (+5); percentages cover 100% of the recipe (+6); meat sources named (+2); recipe reads as a fixed formula (+2).

Additives
Added sugars/sweeteners (-4); declared additives below our neutral line, weakest being glycerol of vegetable origin (-6).

Our analysis

Breaking the 28 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 19.1 of a possible 40. Its strongest showing is label transparency at 15 of 15. On top of that, 16 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 10% meat, which is a low figure, and a declared low figure is still more honest than silence, and the ingredient list names things individually rather than hiding them in catch-all categories.
