Why it scores 40

The kind of meat scored best (13.8 of 15). How it’s made scored lowest (4 of 20).

  1. How much meat?

    12.7 / 45 points
    • Meat on the label8.8 / 35 points

      Meat is named but the label doesn’t say how much, so a quarter of the points.

    • Protein level3.9 / 10 points

      Protein is 43.2% of the food with the water taken out. Nothing at 20% or less, full marks at 80%.

  2. How much starch?

    10 / 20 points

    Estimated carbohydrate: The label doesn’t give enough of its analysis to estimate the carbohydrate: half marks.

  3. How processed?

    4 / 20 points

    How it’s made: Extruded kibble: 6 of 20. Minus 2 for added plant protein, starch or fibre and digest or flavouring.

  4. What kind of meat?

    13.8 / 15 points
    • How the meat is listed10.8 / 12 points

      The label lists the meat as fresh and dried, which earns 90% of these points. Fresh or raw named meat earns all of them, dried 70%, meal half, hydrolysed a quarter, an unnamed category none.

    • Organ meat3 / 3 points

      Organ meat such as liver, heart, kidney or tripe is named.

No ingredient deductions.

Each bar is as long as the points it is worth, out of 100 in all.

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.
