Nutrition
Protein 31% and carbs about 40%, with the water taken out.
| Nutrient | As sold | Dry weight |
|---|---|---|
| Protein | 28% | 31% |
| within the usual 26 to 32% for dry foods | ||
| Fat | 18% | 20% |

Carbohydrate is our estimate: what is left after the other shares. The usual range is the middle half of the dry foods we rate.
Why it scores 18
Starch scored best (6.7 of 20). The kind of meat scored lowest (2.3 of 15).
How much meat?
10.7 / 45 points- Meat on the label8.8 / 35 points
Meat is listed without saying which animal, and the label doesn’t say how much, so a quarter of the points.
- Protein level1.9 / 10 points
Protein is 31.1% of the food with the water taken out. Nothing at 20% or less, full marks at 80%.
How much starch?
6.7 / 20 pointsEstimated carbohydrate: About 39.9% carbohydrate with the water taken out (our estimate). Full marks with no carbohydrate, none at 60% or more.
How processed?
4 / 20 pointsHow it’s made: Extruded kibble: 6 of 20. Minus 2 for added plant protein, starch or fibre and hydrolysed protein.
What kind of meat?
2.3 / 15 points- How the meat is listed2.3 / 12 points
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 points
No organ meat named.
Points lost for ingredients: Iodine (−5).
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 Happy Dog Pure Goat Dog Food (Sardinia) (scores 83): carbs fall from 40% to 25% by dry weight, and protein is about 43%.
Worked out from both labels, for half the day’s calories from each food. The feeding guides on the packs still set the amounts.

Within the legal limit, but above the advised level, so it costs 5 points.
- Hydrolysed proteinsCounted in “How processed?”Feed material (protein source)
A protein broken down by processing, often used in sensitive-stomach foods. It costs a point under “How processed?” rather than as a deduction.
