Sport Performance 30/20 Chicken & Rice
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.

Watch-outs

- Ingredient Clarity 4.0 / 10Some sources are less specific than the rubric prefers — generic terms in the ingredient list, or fields we cannot verify.
- 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 performance-formula caveat, recent Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets wet dog food recall disclosure, partial Brand Trust, warning-letter full-export gap, retailer-controlled GA/AAFCO fields, and price freshness gap visible; do not mark verified.

What we know
Captured from source records.
- Manufacturer source supports product identity, chicken-first positioning, 4390 kcal/kg, 484 kcal/cup, available sizes, and performance-formula positioning.
- Retailer source supports the 37.5 lb package price, ingredients, guaranteed analysis, calories, and all-life-stage AAFCO feeding-test language.
- Wet/dry comparison uses dry matter basis from the captured moisture value.
- Existing Purina recall archive matching and manual disposition remain attached at brand level.
- Existing Purina warning-letter entity-mismatch dismissal remains attached at brand level.
Still unresolved
Not product defects.
- Official manufacturer page did not expose the full guaranteed-analysis and AAFCO text in the captured public page; retailer label text controls those fields for beta.
- High-fat performance positioning should not be treated as a general adult recommendation.
- Brand Trust signal record is partially verified, not complete.
- FDA warning-letter full-export coverage remains blocked by FDA export limitations.
- Retail price can change and should be refreshed before public launch.

- 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 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.
