Why it scores 25

The kind of meat scored best (8.5 of 15). How it’s made scored lowest (4 of 20).

  1. How much meat?

    13.1 / 45 points
    • Meat on the label11.6 / 35 points

      33% declared meat, as weighed before cooking; full marks at 100%.

    • Protein level1.5 / 10 points

      Protein is 28.9% of the food with the water taken out. Nothing at 20% or less, full marks at 80%.

  2. How much starch?

    4.5 / 20 points

    Estimated carbohydrate: About 46.6% carbohydrate with the water taken out (our estimate). Full marks with no carbohydrate, none at 60% or more.

  3. How processed?

    4 / 20 points

    How it’s made: Extruded kibble: 6 of 20. Minus 2 for added plant protein, starch or fibre and hydrolysed protein.

  4. What kind of meat?

    8.5 / 15 points
    • How the meat is listed8.5 / 12 points

      The label lists the meat as fresh and unnamed meal, which earns 71% 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.

Points lost for ingredients: Hops (−5).

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

Against other dry foods

Tied 750th of 1,171 dry foods. 47 foods share this score. Each bar counts the ranked dry foods in a 5-point step of score.

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.

Half and half by calories with Animonda GranCarno Original Senior (scores 69): carbs fall from 47% to 28% by dry weight, and protein is about 37%.

Worked out from both labels, for half the day’s calories from each food. The feeding guides on the packs still set the amounts.

Ingredient notes

1 ingredient costs 5 points: hops. 1 more noted. 39 flagged nothing.

  • 1 costs points
  • 1 noted
  • 39 nothing flagged
  • HopsCosts 5 points
    Feed material (flavouring)

    The label declares only a trace, so it costs 5 points rather than holding the score down.

    Why it costs points and sources

    Hops are listed as toxic to dogs: eaten in quantity (usually spent brewing hops) they can cause a dangerous, sometimes fatal fever. No safe amount is known, though no cases have been linked to the tiny amounts added to some dog foods.

  • Animal fatsCounted in “How processed?”
    Feed material (fat source)

    The label says “greaves meal hydrolysed”: a protein broken down by processing, often used in sensitive-stomach foods. It costs a point under “How processed?” rather than as a deduction.
