Label-Based Analysis

600+ food comparisons

Narrow dog food recommendations by ingredients and feeding amount first

Use top ingredients, calories, nutrient disclosure, and your dog's context before trusting brand reputation alone.

Ingredients and protein

Check which animal protein appears near the top of the label and whether plant protein is mainly lifting the number.

Calories and disclosure

Compare kcal/kg, guaranteed analysis, minerals, and detailed nutrient values that make food choices easier to verify.

Weight and daily portions

Connect age, weight, and activity with calorie density to understand how many grams per day the food implies.

Breed-first comparison

Start with your dog's breed

Enter a breed and foods with care signals relevant to that breed's genetic watchouts will appear first.
