How is the WoofScore calculated?

We analyse every ingredient against vet-reviewed criteria — rewarding named animal proteins, whole foods and beneficial supplements, and penalising vague by-products, cheap fillers, artificial colours and controversial preservatives. The result is an A–F grade with each flagged ingredient explained.

Is WoofScore a substitute for my vet?

No. WoofScore is an informational ingredient-level tool. Always consult your veterinarian about your dog's specific diet, especially for health conditions, allergies or life stages.
