The open algorithm
The only dog food rating with the formula published
Other sites ask you to trust them. We show the working: every weight, every penalty, and a point-by-point breakdown on every food page. When we're wrong, you can see exactly where - and tell us.
How our rating works01We take the label - ingredients, analysis, additives - exactly as the manufacturer declares it.
02The algorithm scores 6 things: ingredient quality, meat content, label clarity, additives, nutritional balance and processing.
03Red flags cost points. Nothing else moves the score - not adverts, not commissions, not brands asking nicely.
Straight to the good stuff
Our ranked picks for the way people actually shop - every list built live from the scores.
