Orijen
Strong named animal ingredient clarity and high dry-matter protein. Sensitivity flags matter for dogs avoiding poultry, egg, fish, or legumes.
Purina Pro Plan
Source-backed adult maintenance dry food with salmon first, specific grains, and AAFCO feeding-test language. Main watch-outs are fish/beef-fat sensitivity flags, natural flavor, partial Brand Trust, and a recent brand-level Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets wet dog food mislabeling recall that remains disclosed.
Blue Buffalo
Source-backed adult maintenance kibble with named chicken sources and specific grains. Main watch-outs are chicken sensitivity, legumes on the label, natural flavor, vegetable juice color, and a Brand Trust record that still needs stronger primary evidence.
Hill's Science Diet
Source-backed adult maintenance dry food with AAFCO feeding-test language and clear calorie data. Watch-outs are chicken and wheat sensitivity exposure plus a historical Hill’s canned-dog-food recall/warning-letter record that remains disclosed as brand-level regulatory history.
Royal Canin
Manufacturer source supports adult maintenance AAFCO language, calories, calcium, phosphorus, and core label fields. Main watch-outs are chicken and wheat exposure, generic natural flavors, incomplete Brand Trust verification, and a disclosed 2023 Royal Canin veterinary cat-food mislabeling recall that does not involve this scored dog food SKU.
Iams
Widely available adult maintenance kibble with official Iams package-art support for ingredients, guaranteed analysis, and calorie content. Main watch-outs are chicken, corn, egg, natural flavor, caramel color, and a Brand Trust record that remains partial.
Wellness
Official Wellness product guide/package-art and Petco label text align on 4% fiber and the current ingredient order. Chewy still shows older-looking ingredient text, so the record is partially verified with that retailer mismatch disclosed rather than blocked.
Natural Balance
Manufacturer and retailer sources support salmon as the first ingredient, adult maintenance AAFCO language, calcium/phosphorus, and calorie data. Limited-ingredient marketing is not scored separately from the actual label, and the 2021 Natural Balance dry cat-food Salmonella recall is disclosed as brand-level regulatory history, not a defect in this scored dog food SKU.
Stella & Chewy's
Freeze-dried raw-style patties with official manufacturer label fields, 4,420 kcal/kg, and 60 kcal/patty captured. Chewy agrees on kcal/kg but still lists 50 kcal/patty, so per-patty calories remain disclosed while value math uses kcal/kg; follow manufacturer handling and rehydration directions.
Purina Pro Plan
Source-backed all-life-stage performance kibble with chicken first, high calorie density, and retailer-captured AAFCO/GA fields. Watch-outs are chicken, beef fat, egg, corn clustering, partial Brand Trust, and the existing Purina Pro Plan brand-level wet veterinary diet recall disclosure.
Hill's Science Diet
Source-backed adult maintenance kibble with AAFCO feeding-test language, official calorie data, and retailer package/GA capture. Watch-outs are chicken and egg exposure, pea ingredient presence, partial Brand Trust, price freshness, and Hill's historical canned-dog-food recall/warning-letter context.
Royal Canin
Manufacturer and retailer sources support adult maintenance AAFCO language, calorie data, and core GA fields. Watch-outs are chicken and wheat exposure, corn clustering high on the label, natural flavors, partial Brand Trust, and the disclosed 2023 Royal Canin veterinary cat-food recall that does not involve this dog food SKU.
Pedigree
Budget mass dry food with official adult complete-and-balanced positioning and retailer-controlled GA/calorie fields. Watch-outs are unnamed animal-source language, artificial colors, BHA, soy/wheat exposure, partial Brand Trust, and a directly relevant 2024 FDA Pedigree 44 lb recall disclosure.
Taste of the Wild
Manufacturer source supports ingredients, GA, calories, and adult maintenance AAFCO language. Watch-outs are multiple animal protein families, pea-family ingredients high on the label, high dry-matter protein just above the adult-maintenance rubric range, partial Brand Trust, and historical Diamond/Taste recall context.
Blue Buffalo
Limited-ingredient-positioned dry food with salmon first, official product identity, and retailer-controlled GA/calorie fields. Watch-outs are formal AAFCO text not captured, pea-family ingredients, natural flavor, partial Brand Trust, and price freshness.
Merrick
Public-beta scorecard with official Merrick product page and nutrition PDF support for adult-maintenance AAFCO wording, ingredients, GA, and calories. Watch-outs are chicken sensitivity exposure, partial Brand Trust, historical Merrick treat recalls disclosed as brand-level context, warning-letter full-export gap, and refreshable retailer price.
Canidae
Public-beta scorecard with official all-life-stages positioning and retailer-corroborated ingredients, GA, calories, and price. Watch-outs are chicken and multi-protein sensitivity exposure, retailer-controlled nutrition fields, partial Brand Trust, exact package AAFCO-text gap, warning-letter export gap, and refreshable price.
Nutro
Public-beta scorecard with official Nutro product identity/top-five ingredient support and Chewy-controlled 36 lb ingredients, GA, calories, and price. Watch-outs are retailer-controlled nutrition fields, stale/conflicting Petco label text, partial Brand Trust, exact package AAFCO-text gap, warning-letter export gap, and refreshable price.
Open Farm
Public-beta scorecard with official Open Farm product page and nutrient profile PDF support for ingredients, GA, calories, AAFCO all-life-stages wording, and complete nutrient details. Watch-outs are partial Brand Trust, co-manufacturing context, refreshable retailer price, no-Class-I-ever still unknown, and no medical recommendation or verified-status claim.

Held under the fresh-food evidence standard. Brand-level manufacturer claims, Vet Team evidence, recall check, current warning-letter table check, and third-party Beef Recipe label capture are recorded, but recipe-specific manufacturer/customer-plan label data, calories, and deterministic profile-based subscription price are not strong enough for a live scorecard.
