Expert Summary

Feed Wise considers this a workable everyday option for Performatrin Ultra Performatrin Culinary Gently Cooked Tummy Calmer Adult Dog Food, an extruded kibble formula built on chicken. No nutritional adequacy statement is on record, so it is best used as part of a balanced feeding plan or rotation rather than as the sole diet. Supporting the rating, it is manufactured in Canada and the label declares 7% crude protein.

What is actually in this food?

Rice, Chicken, Pumpkin, Sunflower Oil, Dicalcium Phosphate, Magnesium Sulfate, Potassium Chloride, CalciumCarbonate, Choline Chloride

First 5 ingredients

1. Rice

Tier C, moderate or neutral ingredient

Whole Carbohydrate

Whole carbohydrate source. Evaluated on position, quantity and combined plant load rather than treated as automatically poor.

2. Chicken

Tier A, exceptional food ingredient

Named Animal Protein

Named animal muscle meat. Highest value protein source in the FeedWise model.

3. Pumpkin

Tier B, high quality supportive ingredient

Whole Food Plant

Whole food plant ingredient contributing fibre, antioxidants and micronutrients.

4. Sunflower Oil

Tier C, moderate or neutral ingredient

Sunflower Oil

Plant oil contributing fat and omega 6 fatty acids. It does not supply marine omega 3.

5. Dicalcium Phosphate

Tier C, moderate or neutral ingredient

Nutrient Supplement

Required nutrient or functional supplement. Excluded from the food quality average because fortification is a formulation requirement, not a food ingredient.

Animal Protein Quality

0.6 / 25

This 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.

Named animal protein first
The first ingredient is Rice, which is not an animal protein.
0 / 8
Animal Prominence Index
Animal Prominence Index 32 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.
+0.5 / 5
Liver
No liver in the ingredient panel.
0 / 2
Heart
No heart in the ingredient panel.
0 / 2
Other appropriate organs
No additional organ meats identified.
0 / 2
Whole egg
No meaningful egg inclusion.
0 / 1
Named animal or marine fats
No named animal or marine fat identified.
0 / 2
Verified animal ingredient proportion
The manufacturer has not published an animal ingredient percentage. Excluded from the score rather than counted against the product.
NOT SCORED
Plant protein dilution
No concentrated plant proteins detected.
0

Ingredient Quality

15.1 / 20

Every 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.

Position weighted ingredient quality
4 food ingredients assessed by quality tier with early positions weighted most heavily. 5 fortifying nutrients or preservatives excluded from the average.
+15.1 / 20

Carbohydrate and Plant Load

11.3 / 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.

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.
NOT SCORED
Ingredient based plant load
Plant load assessed as LOW. Carbohydrate bearing plant ingredients: Rice (whole grain).
+6 / 8

How is it made?

5 / 10

Processing method: Extruded. 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.
