A low-scoring product. Significant concerns across one or more scoring factors — consider alternatives.

Five categories. Weighted by what matters.
No AAFCO compliance data or guaranteed analysis on file for this product. Score reflects other four factors only.
No — primary ingredients are by-products or low-quality fillers rather than named whole proteins.
Are named whole proteins, whole grains, and whole vegetables the primary ingredients, with minimal fillers or artificial additives?
Minor concerns — limited recall history or a small number of adverse event reports on file.
Has this brand been subject to FDA or CFIA recalls, Class I/II actions, or adverse event reports in the past five years?
Partial — some evidence of nutritional research, but feeding trial data is limited or not publicly available.
Does the brand publish AAFCO feeding trials, employ board-certified veterinary nutritionists, or fund peer-reviewed research?
Mostly — label is fairly complete but missing one or more transparency elements (e.g. country of origin).
Does the label include a complete guaranteed analysis, named ingredient sources, and country-of-origin disclosure? Canadian labelling law does not require nutritional adequacy statements — a product can claim "complete and balanced" without meeting any government-verified standard.
