Against other raw 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: grape seed extract and yucca extract. 17 flagged nothing.
- 2 noted
- 17 nothing flagged
- Grape seed extractNoted, no points takenFlavouring
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
Grapes are toxic to dogs. Studies of grape seed extract in dogs have found no harm so far, but the evidence is limited and EU assessors couldn't set a safe level for dogs, so 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.
17 ingredients with nothing flagged
Carrot, chicken, green tea extract, liver (animal organ), minerals, peas, salmon, swede, sweet potato, tocopherols (vitamin E)
Allowed up to a legal maximum, none declared above it: copper, iodine, iron, vitamin A (retinyl acetate), vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), zinc
We couldn’t read an amount we can check on the label, so no points were taken: selenium
