📊 Scoring Breakdown
-
🥩 Protein Quality 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This range contains named meat, which is highly digestible and offers an excellent source of essential amino acids. It also includes dried meat, a nutrient-dense protein source that retains many of the benefits of fresh meat while offering high protein concentration.
-
🟡 Essential Amino Acids 3/5 ⭐⭐⭐
This range offers limited rotation, while some benefits of nutritional rotation are possible, the restricted variety may make it more challenging to achieve full amino acid intake.
-
🌾 Carbohydrate Balance 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This range includes low carbohydrate levels, focusing on nutrient-rich, easy digestible options.
-
🟦 Biological Suitability 3/5 ⭐⭐⭐
This range increases the probability of nutritional excess due to its very high meat content, which can contribute to an oversupply of certain nutrients across a wide range of dogs. Without appropriate balance, this may place unnecessary strain on the body over time. Please refer to the cautionary note below for further guidance.

🚨 Caution: High Meat Content in Dog Food
Many premium dog foods promote high meat percentages, but more is not always better. When the total meat content is high, the risk of nutrient overload increases significantly.
🔴 What happens when a dog's diet is too rich in meat?
Kidney Strain – Excess nutrition increases kidney workload, potentially leading to long-term stress.
Liver Overload – Over-processed amino acids put pressure on the liver’s detoxification system.
Artery Hardening – Certain excess minerals (like phosphorus) contribute to artery damage over time.
Joint Stress – Excessive nutrition can fuel inflammation, worsening joint conditions.
Skin Complaints – High meat diets can cause itching, excessive oil production, and irritation.
👉 More meat does not mean better nutrition. A balanced formula must include variety to help prevent the above risks.
🚀 Solution?
It may be beneficial to consider a lower meat option as part of a rotational, nutrition plan.

💡 Our Recommendations
Rotation - Your Most Important Nutritional Strategy
🐾 No matter what food your dog eats, rotation is always recommended where possible to increase the probability of better all-round nutrition.
🔄 We highly recommend rotating within the same brand whenever possible. 🐶
This range offers limited rotation options: Meat/Fish & Fish. While some benefits of nutritional rotation are possible, the restricted variety may make it more challenging to achieve full dietary balance.
Natural Dog Treats
💡 Why Might Treats Be Considered?
All treats should serve a nutritional purpose. They either balance the dogs diet filling nutritional gaps, support digestion or promote joint/coat health.
This food provides solid nutrition but may benefit from some carefully selected treats to complement specific nutrients and support overall well-being.
Recommended Treats to Complement Simpsons Premium 80/20 Adult Dry Dog Food
✅ Cow’s Ear – A softer, chewy treat with low fat content, making it ideal for sensitive stomachs and digestion.
✅ Beef Gullet – A natural source of glucosamine and chondroitin, supporting joint health and mobility.
✅ Puffed Chicken Feet – A lighter, crunchy alternative to chicken feet, packed with glucosamine for joint support.
✅ Rabbit Ear with Fur - A natural fibre source that aids digestion and supports gut health.
🚨 Caution: Treats should always be given in moderation. Even natural treats contribute to daily nutrition intake, so they should be part of a balanced feeding plan to avoid excess.
Supplements
💡Why Might Supplements Be Considered?
This food provides a solid nutritional foundation, though some nutrients may be less optimal than in higher-rated foods. Rotating protein sources and introducing targeted supplements, such as omega-3s or joint support, can help maintain overall well-being.
Whole Foods - Additional Nutrients
Looking to enhance your dog’s diet naturally, whole foods can be a great way to introduce additional nutrients.
Even the healthiest whole foods can turn a well-balanced diet into something excessive if portion control is ignored. More nutrition doesn’t always mean better, it often means overload, leading to toxicity, digestive issues, or long-term organ strain.
✔ Whole foods should complement, not compete with a balanced diet.
✔ If you’re adding whole foods regularly, you must reduce the main food accordingly.
✔ If you have any questions about whole foods contact us to ensure the diet stays safe, balanced, and beneficial.
