Animal Protein Quality
22.4 / 25This is the largest single category in FeedWise. It looks at which animal ingredients are present, whether the species is named, whether organs, egg and named fats are included, and whether concentrated plant proteins are diluting the animal content.
- +8 / 8
Named animal protein first
Chicken and beef with bone is a named animal ingredient in position 1.
- +4.7 / 5
Animal Prominence Index
Animal Prominence Index 86 of 100. This is a FeedWise position-weighted measure of how far animal ingredients dominate the ingredient panel. It is a label-position index, not a manufacturer-disclosed recipe percentage.
- +2 / 2
Liver
Liver is included.
- +2 / 2
Heart
Heart is included.
- +1 / 2
Other appropriate organs
Additional organs included: kidney.
- +1 / 1

Named animal or marine fats

- NOT SCORED
Verified animal ingredient proportion
The manufacturer has not published an animal ingredient percentage. Excluded from the score rather than counted against the product.
Ingredient Quality
18.3 / 20Every ingredient is classified into a quality tier and weighted by its position on the label, so ingredient number one counts far more than ingredient number fifteen.
- +18.3 / 20
Position weighted ingredient quality
16 food ingredients assessed by quality tier with early positions weighted most heavily. 1 fortifying nutrient or preservative excluded from the average.
Carbohydrate and Plant Load
15 / 15- Estimated carbohydrate: not calculable
- Pulse ingredients detected: none
- Plant protein concentrates: none
- Ingredient splitting: not detected
Carbohydrate is not calculable because ash is not disclosed. It is left blank rather than overstated.
- NOT SCORED
Carbohydrate burden
Carbohydrate is not precisely calculable because ash has not been disclosed. This is an evidence limitation, not evidence of high carbohydrate, so it is removed from the score and reported as reduced confidence.
- +8 / 8
Ingredient based plant load
Plant load assessed as VERY LOW. No grains, pulses, starches or concentrated plant proteins in the ingredient panel.
How is it made?
10 / 10Processing method: Raw. This category measures food integrity only. Raw handling safety is assessed separately under Safety and Quality Control, so a raw food can score well here and still lose safety points.
- +10 / 10
