How much starch?
0.4 / 20 pointsEstimated carbohydrate: About 58.7% carbohydrate with the water taken out (our estimate). Full marks with no carbohydrate, none at 60% or more.

Each bar is as long as the points it is worth, out of 100 in all.
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 59% to 35% by dry weight, and protein is about 31%.
Worked out from both labels, for half the day’s calories from each food. The feeding guides on the packs still set the amounts.
