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 43% to 27% by dry weight, and protein is about 40%.
Worked out from both labels, for half the day’s calories from each food. The feeding guides on the packs still set the amounts.
Best wet foods →Ingredient notes
3 noted, none cost points: mint, parsley and yucca extract. 27 flagged nothing.
- 3 noted
- 27 nothing flagged
- MintNoted, no points takenFeed material (herb)
Why it’s noted and sources
Mint can upset a dog's stomach if eaten in large amounts; at the small amounts used in food, EU assessors found it safe.
- ParsleyNoted, no points takenFeed material (vegetable)
Why it’s noted and sources
Only large amounts cause problems (sun sensitivity); the small amounts used in food aren't a concern.
- 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.
