Feed Wise rates this below the standard we look for in this category for Performatrin Ultra Limited Ingredient Sweet Potato & Venison Recipe Adult Dog Food, a dry kibble formula led by venison and marine microalgae oil. 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 21% crude protein.

1. Sweet Potato
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. Venison
Tier A, exceptional food ingredient
Named Animal Protein
Named animal muscle meat. Highest value protein source in the FeedWise model.
3. Peas
Tier C, moderate or neutral ingredient
Whole Carbohydrate
Whole pea. A pulse carbohydrate and plant protein source.
4. Pea Starch
Tier D, lower value formulation ingredient
Refined Plant Fraction
Refined or fractionated plant ingredient. Lowers ingredient quality when used prominently.
5. Potato Protein
Tier E, major formulation concern
Concentrated Plant Protein
Concentrated plant protein. Raises the crude protein figure without contributing animal protein quality.
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 Sweet Potato, which is not an animal protein.
Animal Prominence Index
Animal Prominence Index 24 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
No liver in the ingredient panel.
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: Marine Microalgae Oil.
Verified animal ingredient proportion
The manufacturer has not published an animal ingredient percentage. Excluded from the score rather than counted against the product.
Plant protein disclosure
Concentrated plant protein is present: Potato Protein, Pea Protein. The manufacturer does not publish its inclusion level or the animal versus plant share of the crude protein, so the contribution is not quantified. This is deducted once under Ingredient Quality and is not counted again here.
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
13 food ingredients assessed by quality tier with early positions weighted most heavily. 9 fortifying nutrients or preservatives excluded from the average.
Ingredient splitting
Multiple fractions of the same core ingredient appear: POTATO FAMILY (Sweet Potato, Potato Protein); PEA FAMILY (Peas, Pea Starch, Pea Protein, Dried Peas, Pea Fibre).
Concentrated plant proteins
Concentrated plant protein appears at position 5: Potato Protein, Pea Protein. Scored once here and not repeated in other categories.
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 HIGH. Carbohydrate bearing plant ingredients: Sweet Potato (starchy vegetable), Peas (whole pulse), Pea Starch (refined starch), Potato Protein (concentrated plant protein), Pea Protein (concentrated plant protein), Dried Peas (whole pulse), Pea Fibre (fibre ingredient).
Combined pulse load
5 pulse ingredients detected at positions 3, 4, 6, 7, 13: Peas, Pea Starch, Pea Protein, Dried Peas, Pea Fibre. Together these represent a substantial plant contribution.
Pulse protein disclosure
A concentrated pulse protein is present. Its inclusion level is not published, so no share of the protein figure is asserted. It is deducted once under Ingredient Quality rather than a second time here.
Split plant fractions
Split plant fractions understate the true plant load in the ingredient order.
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.

Recall context and corrective action
No recalls on file.
A recall alone does not destroy a score. Severity, cause, frequency, recency and documented corrective action are all considered.
Unknown information is not treated as bad information. It is scored as unverified and it lowers the confidence rating instead.
Canadian retailers on record. Stock and price vary by store and province.
Only certifications we can confirm from the brand's own documentation or the certifying body appear here. Nothing is assumed — if a program isn't listed, it isn't disclosed for this product.
