Feed Wise considers this a solid, well documented option for Performatrin Ultra Performatrin Culinary Raw Chicken Dinner Adult Dog Food, a frozen raw formula led by chicken, beef liver and salmon oil. The manufacturer publishes an AAFCO nutritional adequacy statement, so it can be fed as a complete daily diet for adult maintenance. Supporting the rating, it is manufactured in Canada and the label declares 13% crude protein.

1. Chicken (with Bone)
Tier A, exceptional food ingredient
Named Animal Meat with Bone
Named animal meat with ground bone. This is muscle meat that includes finely ground bone, so it is not pure muscle meat. The bone contributes natural calcium and phosphorus.
2. Beef Liver
Tier A, exceptional food ingredient
Named Organ Meat
Named liver. Nutrient dense organ meat.
3. Carrots
Tier B, high quality supportive ingredient
Whole Food Plant
Whole food plant ingredient contributing fibre, antioxidants and micronutrients.
4. Chicken Liver
Tier A, exceptional food ingredient
Named Organ Meat
Named liver. Nutrient dense organ meat.
5. Zucchini
Tier B, high quality supportive ingredient
Whole Food Plant
Whole food plant ingredient contributing fibre, antioxidants and micronutrients.
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
Chicken (with Bone) is a named animal ingredient in position 1.
Animal Prominence Index
Animal Prominence Index 80 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.
Liver
Liver is included.
Heart
No heart in the ingredient panel.
Other appropriate organs
No additional organ meats identified.
Whole egg
No meaningful egg inclusion.
Named animal or marine fats
Named animal or marine fat sources: Salmon Oil.
Verified animal ingredient proportion
The manufacturer has not published an animal ingredient percentage. Excluded from the score rather than counted against the product.
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
10 food ingredients assessed by quality tier with early positions weighted most heavily. 5 fortifying nutrients or preservatives excluded from the average.
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.
Ingredient based plant load
Plant load assessed as VERY LOW. No grains, pulses, starches or concentrated plant proteins in the ingredient panel.
Processing 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.

Unknown information is not treated as bad information. It is scored as unverified and it lowers the confidence rating instead.
