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.
