    • Protein level5 / 10 points

      The label’s analysis doesn’t add up, so we didn’t use it: half marks.

  2. How much starch?

    10 / 20 points

    Estimated carbohydrate: The label’s analysis doesn’t add up, so we can’t estimate the carbohydrate: half marks.

  3. How processed?

    8 / 20 points

    How it’s made: Cooked in the tin, tray or pouch: 8 of 20.

  4. What kind of meat?

    10.4 / 15 points

Ingredient notes

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

  • 2 noted
  • 26 nothing flagged
  • 2 not in our ingredient database yet
  • 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.

  • 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.

26 ingredients with nothing flagged
