Why it scores 17

  1. How much meat?

    8.8 / 45 points
    • Meat on the label8.8 / 35 points

      Meat is listed without saying which animal, and the label doesn’t say how much, so a quarter of the points.

    • Protein level0 / 10 points

      Protein is 20% of the food with the water taken out. Nothing at 20% or less, full marks at 80%.

  2. How much starch?

    0 / 20 points

    Estimated carbohydrate: About 60.6% carbohydrate with the water taken out (our estimate). Full marks with no carbohydrate, none at 60% or more.

  3. How processed?

    6 / 20 points

    How it’s made: Extruded kibble: 6 of 20.

  4. What kind of meat?

    3 / 15 points
    • How the meat is listed3 / 12 points

      The label lists the meat as unnamed meal, which earns 25% of these points. Fresh or raw named meat earns all of them, dried 70%, meal half, hydrolysed a quarter, an unnamed category none.

    • Organ meat0 / 3 points

      No organ meat named.

No ingredient deductions.

Each bar is as long as the points it is worth, out of 100 in all.

What the score means

One scale for every food: meat (45 points), starch (20), how it’s made (20) and kind of meat (15), minus points for a few listed ingredients. It rates the recipe, not your dog.

75 and over is excellent, 60 to 74 good, 45 to 59 fair and under 45 weak.
