Poultry Meal comes first, giving the recipe a strong animal-protein start.
Chicken, turkey and duck are all disclosed, even though the exact blend may vary.

the trade-off

Four carbohydrate sources land in the first six ingredients, including refined Rice Flour.
Poultry Fat is the only declared fat source, with no additional fats or oils to round it out.
The recipe offers digestive support from Dried Beet Pulp and Fructooligosaccharides, but little functional variety beyond that.

Why it scored this way

OPEN EACH ROW FOR THE RECEIPTS

ANIMAL PROTEIN 90

WHY 90? Poultry Meal comes first, and no concentrated plant protein is declared. Chicken, turkey and duck are all named, though the blend may vary.

What animal proteins are used?

Poultry Meal (Chicken (equiv. 47% Chicken) &/or Turkey &/or Duck)

Poultry Meal is a concentrated animal-protein source. The exact blend may vary, but chicken, turkey and duck are all disclosed.

Does animal protein come first?

Yes

Poultry Meal gets top billing, giving the recipe a clear animal-protein start.

Any protein-boosting plant concentrates?

None declared

No concentrated plant protein is declared among the first ten ingredients.

CARBOHYDRATES 51

WHY 51? Rice, Sorghum, Rice Flour and Barley fill four of the first six positions. Alongside Rice are two standard grains and refined Rice Flour, keeping the overall quality fairly average.

What carbohydrate sources are used?

Rice (14%)SorghumRice Flour (6%)Barley

Rice and Sorghum appear early, followed by refined Rice Flour and Barley.

What is the source quality?

Mixed

Rice is the strongest choice here, while Sorghum and Barley are standard grains and Rice Flour is refined.

How prominent are the carbohydrates?

High

Four carbohydrate sources appear within the first six ingredients, so they are a prominent part of the recipe.

Ingredient-list prominence is not an estimated nutritional carbohydrate percentage.

FAT PROFILE 64

WHY 64? Poultry Fat provides the base, but its broader source wording and no declared fish, algae or supporting plant oil leave the profile fairly basic.

Main fat source

Poultry Fat

Poultry Fat supplies the base, though the bird source is not specified.

Supporting plant oil

None declared

No supporting plant oil is declared, leaving the fat profile without that extra variety.

Fish or algae omega-3

None declared

No fish or algae omega-3 source is declared alongside Poultry Fat.

HELPFUL EXTRAS 30

WHY 30? Dried Beet Pulp and Fructooligosaccharides provide digestive support, but both serve the same area. With no support across other areas, the extras remain limited.

How useful are the extras?

Limited

Fructooligosaccharides provide targeted prebiotic support, while Dried Beet Pulp adds further digestive support.

What areas do they support?

1 area

Both recognised extras focus on digestion. We would like to see useful support extending into other areas too.

Label honesty

71

WHY 71? The label names the possible poultry sources, but cannot confirm which blend is used. Broader Poultry Fat wording and partly specified Natural Flavour also leave some uncertainty.

How clearly are ingredients named?

Mixed

Chicken, turkey and duck are listed as possible meal sources, but Poultry Fat and Natural Flavour (Chicken) are less precise.

Does it deliver the advertised protein?

Blend may vary

Chicken is named within the leading Poultry Meal, but the exact poultry blend may vary between batches.
