In detail

Vale Pet Foods: the closer look

The range

Eighteen products in five ranges. Four of them are raw: Purely Minces and Minces With Veg with five products each, Beef Tripe Minces with four and Meat Blend Minces with two. Vale Pet Foods Complete holds the two dry recipes. Adult labels cover all eighteen, with twelve marked for puppies and seniors.

Ingredients

Beef is the most common protein, ahead of turkey, chicken, duck, venison and lamb. Everything is grain free and eleven products are single protein. The raw minces name no label extras, while the dry Complete recipes list linseed and omega 3.

Nutrition

The raw minces run from 14.4% to 21.5% protein as fed, with fat from 5.2% to 24.1% and energy of 124 to 328 kcal per 100g. The dry recipes are denser, 26% to 26.5% protein and around 360 to 367 kcal per 100g. Nutritional balance reads Outstanding on fifteen products.

Strengths

  • Outstanding on fifteen of eighteen products
  • Raw minces across every life stage
  • Grain free throughout, eleven single protein

Limitations

  • The dry Complete pair reads Good
  • Transparency reads Excellent on fifteen products
  • No wet or fresh food

Where it is less of a fit

  • If you want wet or fresh food, check the formats, as this catalogue is raw with two dry recipes
  • If you want the dry food to read like the raw, check the Complete range, which sits at Good
  • If transparency leads your choice, check that pillar, since it reads Excellent on fifteen products and Outstanding on three

Score overview

Protein and processing reads Outstanding on sixteen products and nutritional balance on fifteen, which is what puts the brand in our Outstanding band. Value follows the same shape. Transparency is Excellent on fifteen products, a step off the rest. The four raw ranges read Outstanding, while the dry Complete pair reads Good.

The average score is the mean of each product's overall score out of 100 (using the best-scoring variety per product), not a flat average across every variety.
