Mixing bowl composition
This is the ingredients list as printed on the packaging or manufacturer's website.
Think of the 'mixing bowl' composition like a recipe - all the ingredients you would need to put in a 'mixing bowl' in order to make the food.
Ingredients have to be listed in descending order of their weight so the higher it appears, the more there is.
Highlighted ingredients
Ingredients that we believe to be controversial or inferior are highlighted in yellow with particularly low grade, highly contentious or excessively vague ingredients in red.
Information in italics is not usually avaialble on the ingredients list but has been provided to us by the manufacturer to help with our ratings.
As fed composition
While the 'mixing bowl' composition is useful for knowing what went into the food, it doesn't always reflect what your dog is actually eating. This is because the processes that turn the ingredients into the finished pet food can significantly alter the relative weights of the ingredients.
For this reason we've calculated the approximate 'as fed' percentages for the main ingredient categories in the finished product.
Please note that these figures are very approximate. They are estimates based on the information provided by the manufacturer in the ingredients list so the clearer the terminology and the more percentages they provide, the more accurate our estimates will be. Wherever information is lacking, we always assume the worst.
Ingredient categories
◉ Meat ingredients: includes all meat and fish ingredients except isolated fats/oils.
◉Added oils and fats: includes all isolated oil and fat ingredients.
◉ Carb-rich ingredients: includes all ingredients derived from grains, pseudo-grains, potatoes and other starchy root vegetables, sweet potato and legumes (except whole peas which are categorised under fruit and veg) except for isolated protein and extracted oils. Also includes fibre supplements.
◉ Fruit and veg: includes all whole vegetables and fruits.
◉ Other: all other ingredients. Mostly made up by nutritional supplements and additives.
For more information on any ingredient, please take a look at our Dog Food Ingredient Glossary
The dry matter level of a nutrient is the percentage there would be in the food if all of the water was removed.
With water taken out of the equation, these figures allow the nutrient levels of foods of different types (like wet and dry) to be compared on an even playing field.

15 out of 100 - Awful
Our unique product ratings are calculated based on a number of characteristics including the quality and quantity of the stated ingredients, certain nutritional and technological additives and the processing methods used to create the food. They are designed to indicate how beneficial we think a food is likely to be for the majority of dogs when fed on a daily basis for an extended period. Click here for more information
Country of origin: Undisclosed
A technological additive is any substance added to a pet food "for a technological purpose and which favourably affects the characteristics of feed".
The most common categories of technological additives include preservatives and antioxidants, gelling agents and thickeners and probiotics.
While the primary effects of technoloical additives are certainly 'favourable' (increased shelf life in the case of preservatives & antioxidants, better food texture and consistency in the case of gelling agents and thickeners etc.) some have been linked to health problems in pets and should be treated with caution.
Unfortunately, many technological additives do not have to be declared by the manufacturer so just because they do not appear on the label does not necessarily mean they are not in the food. If in doubt, ask the manufacturer directly exactly what technological additives their foods contain.

All my dogs have been fed on a raw meat and bones diet for many years. The cost made me try this complete feed. Simply horrible ! My dog is a 10 month fox red labrador and so WOLFED it down BUT over one week I saw a lot of negatives. Huge increase in the amount of dog poo,(there must be a lot of water absorbing filler) He went from small amounts twice a day to 5 to 7 HUGE piles. Labs rarely have glossy fur but he certainly lost condition during the week. I have put him back on fresh meat and until money limits I will stick to it. LOL had baked beans on toast tonight whilst he dined on half a raw chicken. This is VERY cheap food but unless its my only option I would not try it again. Felt a bit guilty donating the sack to my local animal sanctuary.

Fed my dog some Orlando dog treats from Lidl and she threw up 2 hours later. Not good is it?

When will you be reviewing Orlando pure taste from Lidl please? It has 59% animal ingredients and there’s no mention of it on here.

My parents have bought this food for our dog for years. He's become overweight with serious joint problems and only now am I finding out how terrible his nutrition has actually been. I'm devastated that I didn't realise how bad this food is for him, DO NOT BUY if you want your dog to remain healthy

I feed all 3 of my GSD's on Orlando after trying all the JWB, Burns, etc. This food was doing fantastic, great coats, etc. But in the last lot of 3 bags I bought at my Lidls in Plymouth, They keep getting a upset tummy. I am guessing you have changed something in the ingredients? Please put it back to what it was and also loving the smaller kibble as one of mine being a rescue snoffles it to quick (balls in his food) to stop him tho. x Once I have used these 3 bags if the still getting upset tums I am going to have to change them. Thanks x
