Against other dry foods
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.
How we rate foods →Less starch in the bowl
Half and half by calories with Forthglade Puppy Chicken & Liver Wet Dog Food (scores 73): carbs fall from 39% to 21% by dry weight, and protein is about 36%.
Worked out from both labels, for half the day’s calories from each food. The feeding guides on the packs still set the amounts.
Best wet foods →Ingredient notes
2 noted, none cost points: chamomile and yucca extract. 32 flagged nothing.
- 2 noted
- 32 nothing flagged
- 2 not in our ingredient database yet
- ChamomileNoted, no points takenBotanical / flavouring
Plant extras like this are usually added in tiny amounts, so points are taken only when the label declares 1% or more.
Why it’s noted and sources
The ASPCA lists chamomile as toxic to dogs, with stomach upset and allergic reactions, and warns that long-term use can cause bleeding problems. The amounts in dog food are small; we flag it as a caution.
- Yucca extractNoted, no points takenFeed material (flavouring)
Why it’s noted and sources
Added to reduce stool odour. The ASPCA lists the yucca plant as toxic to dogs, and in a dog study the extract raised a liver enzyme at 750 mg/kg of food, though not at 500. Labels rarely give the amount. We note it, but take no points off.
32 ingredients with nothing flagged
Beet pulp, broccoli, carrot, chicken, chicory root extract, chondroitin, cranberries, dandelion root, egg, glucosamine, green tea extract, l-carnitine, minerals, peas, pomegranate extract, potato, poultry fat, rosemary, salmon oil, sweet potato, taurine, tocopherols (vitamin E), vegetable protein extracts, yeast
Allowed up to a legal maximum, none declared above it: copper, iodine, iron, manganese, vitamin A (retinyl acetate), vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), zinc
We couldn’t read an amount we can check on the label, so no points were taken: selenium
