How this score is made
This score isn’t a hand-wavy impression: it reads what the label actually prints — the ingredient list, guaranteed analysis and AAFCO adequacy statement — and runs it through the same algorithmic rubric as every other product. No brand pays for placement, and there are no affiliate links on reviewed products.

Ingredients Analysis
9 of 9 matched
-
1 Dried Potato
CarbsDescription
Contains mainly carbs, often used as an alternative filler for grain-free pet foods.
Why Concerned?
An inexpensive filler without gluten, with limited nutrition value to dogs / cats.
-
2 Pea Flour
Carbs Plant ProteinDescription
Produced by dry milling of dehulled peas, which is a type of legume that is added to boost up the protein content and acts as an alternative carb. It contains around 22% protein.
Digestion Concern
Legume contains oligosaccharides, which is a 3 - 5 carbon short-chain sugar that are indigestible by dogs / cats.
-
3 Insects
Insect ProteinDescription
Protein extracted from insects. It is a new protein source used in pet foods, some insects such as cricket are a complete protein source (comparable to common animal protein), meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids. However, more research are required to make a solid conclusion about insects for dogs/cats.
-
4 Sunflower Seed Oil
FatDescription
Oil from sunflower seeds, rich in vitamin E and linoleic acid.
-
5 Partially Hydrolyzed Yeast
SupplementDescription
Yeast that has been partially hydrolyzed for improved digestibility and palatability.
-
6 Potato Protein
Plant Protein ConcentrateDescription
A protein concentrate extracted from potatoes, contains about 75% protein, often added to boost up the protein content of pet foods with less meat.
Why Notice?
High level of plant-based protein is not easy to digest and offers less biological value. Good quality pet foods should obtain sufficient protein from animal sources.
Digestion Concern
It offers much less biological value (less digested and absorbed by the body) to pets compared to animal protein.
-
7 Minerals
SupplementDescription
A general term for mineral supplementation, specific sources not identified.
-
8 Beet Fiber
CarbsDescription
Fiber from sugar beets, a good source of both soluble and insoluble fiber for digestive health.
-
9 Carob Flour
CarbsDescription
A substitute for chocolate which is perfectly safe for dogs and cats. Compared to chocolate, it contains more carbs and sugar as a type of legume.
Digestion Concern
Legume contains oligosaccharides, which is a 3 - 5 carbon short-chain sugar that are indigestible by dogs / cats.
Tips
- Some protein sources are less clear: Insects appear near the top without a clearly defined animal source.
- Plant protein signal: Pea Flour, Potato Protein may raise the listed protein percentage without meaning there is more meat.
- Higher-priority ingredients to review: Potato Protein.
- Possible digestion triggers: Pea Flour, Potato Protein, Carob Flour have digestion notes; watch tolerance if your pet has a sensitive stomach.
Protein Analysis
How this recipe earned its protein scores.
Protein Clarity
Low- Unnamed 100%
Low clarity: only 0% of this recipe's animal-protein ingredients are clearly named. 100% use vague terms such as "meat meal" and 0% are by-products. Named protein ingredients let you verify the source and spot allergens; vague ones don't.
Contributing ingredients
Unnamed
Animal Protein
Low- Animal 36%
- Plant 18%
- Plant concentrate 45%
Protein in this recipe leans on plant signals: only 36% comes from animal sources, while plant-protein concentrates make up 45% and whole plant proteins 18%. Plant concentrates like pea or soy isolate are cheap protein boosters but lack the amino-acid profile pets need from meat.

Frequently asked questions
Is this dry pet food good for pets?
Based on its label, this dry pet food is hard to recommend — it scores 0.5 out of 5 stars on Moesonson’s analysis, with low ingredient transparency and limited animal protein content. Both factors come straight from the printed ingredient list, so review the full breakdown of concerns before choosing it for your pet.
Does this dry pet food contain Dairy?
No — based on the printed ingredient list, this dry pet food does not include Dairy or closely related ingredients, so pets sensitive to Dairy can typically avoid that trigger here. Recipes do get reformulated, though, so re-check the packaging before feeding — Moesonson’s reading reflects the label at analysis time.
Does this dry pet food contain Egg?
No — based on the printed ingredient list, this dry pet food does not include Egg or closely related ingredients, so pets sensitive to Egg can typically avoid that trigger here. Recipes do get reformulated, though, so re-check the packaging before feeding — Moesonson’s reading reflects the label at analysis time.
Does this dry pet food contain Legumes?
Yes — according to the printed ingredient list, this dry pet food contains Legumes. Pets with a known Legumes sensitivity should generally avoid this recipe, or check with a veterinarian first. Moesonson flags allergens directly from the label’s ingredient panel, so this reflects what the manufacturer actually declares.
Does this dry pet food contain Nuts?
No — based on the printed ingredient list, this dry pet food does not include Nuts or closely related ingredients, so pets sensitive to Nuts can typically avoid that trigger here. Recipes do get reformulated, though, so re-check the packaging before feeding — Moesonson’s reading reflects the label at analysis time.
Is this dry pet food grain-free?
Yes — this dry pet food is grain-free according to its printed ingredient list: no gluten grains (like wheat) and no gluten-free grains (like rice or corn) appear in the recipe. That makes it a candidate for pets with diagnosed grain sensitivities, though grain-free offers no automatic benefit for pets without one.
What are the main protein sources in this dry pet food?
The animal proteins in this dry pet food include Insects, but some appear under generic terms such as “meat” or “poultry” rather than by species. Generic labeling lowers the recipe’s protein-clarity score in Moesonson’s analysis, because it stops you verifying the exact protein source — a drawback for pets with specific protein allergies.
