Carbohydrate is our estimate: what is left after the other shares. The usual range is the middle half of the dry foods we rate.

Energy322 kcal/100 gCalculated from the analysis.

Why it scores 24

Starch scored best (6.9 of 20). The kind of meat scored lowest (2.3 of 15).

  1. How much meat?

    11 / 45
    • Meat on the label8.8 / 35

      Meat is listed without saying which animal, and the label doesn’t say how much, so a quarter of the points.

    • Protein level2.2 / 10

      Protein is 33.3% of the food with the water taken out. Nothing at 20% or less, full marks at 80%.

  2. How much starch?

    6.9 / 20

    About 39.3% carbohydrate with the water taken out (our estimate). Full marks with no carbohydrate, none at 60% or more.

  3. How processed?

    4 / 20

    Extruded kibble: 6 of 20. Minus 2 for added plant protein, starch or fibre and hydrolysed protein.

  4. What kind of meat?

    2.3 / 15
    • How the meat is listed2.3 / 12

      The label lists the meat as unnamed meal and unnamed hydrolysed, which earns 19% of these points. Fresh or raw named meat earns all of them, dried 70%, meal half, hydrolysed a quarter, an unnamed category none.

    • Organ meat0 / 3

      No organ meat named.

No ingredient deductions.

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

Against other dry foods

Tied 797th of 1,171 dry foods. 50 foods share this score. Each bar counts the ranked dry foods in a 5-point step of score.

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.
