Against other dry 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 →Less starch in the bowl
Half and half by calories with Animonda GranCarno Original Senior (scores 69): carbs fall from 56% to 34% by dry weight, and protein is about 33%.
Worked out from both labels, for half the day’s calories from each food. The feeding guides on the packs still set the amounts.
Best wet foods →Ingredient notes
2 noted: hydrolysed proteins and chamomile. 42 flagged nothing.
- 2 noted
- 42 nothing flagged
- 7 not in our ingredient database yet
- Hydrolysed proteinsCounted in “How processed?”Feed material (protein source)
A protein broken down by processing, often used in sensitive-stomach foods. It costs a point under “How processed?” rather than as a deduction.
- 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.
