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 Forthglade Puppy Chicken & Liver Wet Dog Food (scores 73): carbs fall from 39% to 21% by dry weight, and protein is about 37%.
Worked out from both labels, for half the day’s calories from each food. The feeding guides on the packs still set the amounts.
