Against other dry foods

Top 28% of dry foods. 37 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.

Less starch in the bowl

Half and half by calories with Happy Dog Pure Goat Dog Food (Sardinia) (scores 83): carbs fall from 47% to 30% by dry weight, and protein is about 41%.

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

2 noted, none cost points: chamomile and yucca extract. 26 flagged nothing.

  • 2 noted
  • 26 nothing flagged

  • ChamomileNoted, no points taken
    Botanical / 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.

    Sources
  • Yucca extractNoted, no points taken
    Feed 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.
