Butcher's · Wet · adult
Butchers Nourishing Food scores 29 out of 100, a grade D, against our general adult profile. In short, the first listed ingredient is meat and animal derivatives (40%), and at 80% moisture the headline protein figure understates what your dog actually gets, so the dry matter comparison below is the fair one, and the ingredient list carries flags for meat and animal derivatives.
The same food scores differently by breed, because each breed profile weights protein fit, fat ceiling, joint support, skin and coat support, filler content and ingredient transparency differently. Across 279 breed profiles, Butchers Nourishing Food ranges from 13 to 45 out of 100.
