Sensitive Skin & Stomach Salmon & Rice
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.

Strengths
- Nutrition Fit 9.0 / 10AAFCO adequacy clears the rubric and dry-matter protein and fat land in the bands we expect.
- Brand Trust 8.7 / 10WSAVA-style signals (named nutritionist, manufacturing control, recall posture) verified from primary sources.
- Low sensitivity risk 10.0 / 10Few of the most-named adverse-reaction trigger ingredients high on the label.
Watch-outs
- Common triggers on the labelSkip if your dog avoids fish, beef fat, yeast. We surface this regardless of sub-score.
- Value 4.0 / 10Cost per 1,000 kcal is above the category median. Cheaper options exist with comparable nutrition.
- Partially verified source confidenceSome label or pricing fields rely on retailer-mediated capture rather than the manufacturer source. See evidence notes below.

Why partial?
Source caveats on this scorecard.
These notes explain what the current sources can and cannot support. Missing or unresolved evidence is not scored as a product defect.
Brand-level recall or enforcement history is shown as context after source matching and manual disposition. It is not treated as a defect in this product unless the source match is product- or SKU-relevant.
The current warning-letter table may have been checked, but full export or archive coverage is still incomplete. Unknown status stays unknown, not false.
Launch readiness
Ready for public beta.
Public copy QA passed for beta. This is still partial-source data, so unresolved Brand Trust and warning-letter gates remain visible.
Promote to public beta with recent Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets wet dog food mislabeling recall, partial Brand Trust, warning-letter full-export gap, complete nutrient-analysis gap, and price freshness gap visible; do not mark verified.

What we know
Captured from source records.
- Manufacturer sources support ingredients, guaranteed analysis, calories, AAFCO feeding-test statement, available sizes, and US manufacturing context.
- Retailer source supports the 30 lb package price, package size, ingredients, calories, and guaranteed analysis.
- Wet/dry comparison uses dry matter basis from the captured moisture value.
- FDA recall archive matching is complete and manually dispositioned for the brand.
- Manual recall disposition found one recent brand-relevant recall: a 2022 Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets EN Gastroenteric Low Fat wet dog food mislabeling recall.
- FDA recall page states no other Purina products were impacted by the 2022 wet veterinary diet recall.
- Warning-letter candidate for Purina Animal Nutrition LLC remains dismissed as an out-of-scope entity mismatch for Nestle Purina PetCare / Pro Plan dog food.
Still unresolved
Not product defects.
- Brand-level recent recall history remains disclosed; noFdaRecallPastFiveYears is verified false for the brand record.
- FDA warning-letter full-export coverage remains blocked by FDA export limitations, so active-warning-letter status stays unknown.
- Retail price can change and should be refreshed before public launch.
- Complete nutrient analysis beyond the guaranteed analysis has not been captured.

Appears in
PetScored best-for lists this food is on
- Best dog food for sensitive dogsRanked by lowest population-level sensitivity risk. We do not diagnose individual dogs; the goal is to reduce the number of common trigger ingredients on the label.
- Best limited-ingredient dog foodLimited-ingredient diets work when the label is short, the protein is named, and the brand can prove what is in the bag. We rank on those three things.
- Best high-protein dog foodRanked by guaranteed-analysis protein percentage. High protein is not free — it usually comes with higher cost per calorie and more sensitivity overlap. We show the tradeoff.
- Best-value dog foodRanked by estimated cost per 1,000 kcal within category. Cheap kibble can score well here; that is the point. Cost per calorie is the only honest value metric.
- Most transparent dog food brandsRanked on the combined Ingredient Clarity and Brand Trust sub-scores. These brands publish more about what is in the bag, where it came from, and how it is made.
