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.

Tips
- Protein is Medium (32% dry matter) on our label-based comparison range. Treat this as a comparison cue, not a full adequacy verdict, because species and life stage change the target.
- Fat is High (17% dry matter) on our label-based comparison range. It may be useful for higher energy needs, but less active or medically complex pets need a closer fit check.
