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 34% to 17% by dry weight, and protein is about 39%.
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
1 ingredient costs 5 points: hops. 1 more noted. 35 flagged nothing.
- 1 costs points

- 35 nothing flagged
- 1 not in our ingredient database yet
- HopsCosts 5 points
The label declares only a trace, so it costs 5 points rather than holding the score down.
Why it costs points
Our sources advise only small amounts for dogs.
- Poultry protein hydrolysedCounted in “How processed?”
A protein broken down by processing, often used in sensitive-stomach foods. It costs a point under “How processed?” rather than as a deduction.
