Against other wet 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 →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 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.
