Expert Summary

Feed Wise considers this a solid, well documented option for Performatrin Ultra Grain Free Turkey Stew Adult Dog Food, a canned wet food formula led by turkey and dried egg product. 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 8% crude protein.

Animal Protein Quality

19.2 / 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.

Turkey is a named animal ingredient in position 1.
+8 / 8
Animal Prominence Index
Animal Prominence Index 76 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.

Ingredient Quality

16.3 / 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
12 food ingredients assessed by quality tier with early positions weighted most heavily. 11 fortifying nutrients or preservatives excluded from the average.
+17.3 / 20
Ingredient splitting
Multiple fractions of the same core ingredient appear: POTATO FAMILY (Sweet Potatoes, Potato Starch).
-1

Carbohydrate and Plant Load

7.6 / 15

Estimated carbohydrate: not calculable
Pulse ingredients detected: none
Plant protein concentrates: none
Ingredient splitting: POTATO FAMILY (Sweet Potatoes, Potato Starch)

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 MODERATE. Carbohydrate bearing plant ingredients: Sweet Potatoes (starchy vegetable), Potato Starch (refined starch), Guar Gum (fibre ingredient), Inulin (fibre ingredient).
+4.6 / 8
Split plant fractions
Split plant fractions understate the true plant load in the ingredient order.
-1

How is it made?

7 / 10

Processing method: Canned. 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.
