-
Does the food offer good
value for money (this weighs heavily)?
-
Are the ingredients clearly
stated (or hidden in vague terms)?
-
Has the company opted for
cheapest option with ingredients?
-
How easy is it to buy?
So we've opted for a marking
scheme. Starting with a Top possible score of 10 we then take
marks off as below
for using un-named animal or
plant derivatives
for using un-named source of oil/fat
for using more than one protein source (single
protein source is considered better particularly for sensitive
dogs)
for using artificial colours, flavours, preservatives or antioxidants
for using wheat as a cereal source (not as digestible as rice/maize)
if deemed poor value for money (which I know could
be seen as arbitrary, but is a way of comparing, for example,
two foods costing £30, one of which has cheaper ingredients
than the other)
n.b list is work in progress!
