All About Dog Food scores Bella & Duke 95% on average (November 2026)

All About Dog Food (AADF), the independent UK site that scores dog foods on their ingredients, updated its Bella & Duke brand page on 5 November 2026. The brand's average rating now stands at 95%. We checked the page on 15 November 2026.

The scores, product by product

• Adult Complete | Premium: 95%. This is the everyday adult range, and the one most people start on.
• Puppy Complete | Premium: 94%.
• Puppy Complete | Working Dog: 94%.
• Pure Meat & Bone: 90%. This is not a complete meal on its own, so the lower score is less of a worry than it looks if you are feeding the complete ranges.

What an AADF score measures

AADF's percentage is mostly about what goes into the food: how much named meat there is, how clearly the label describes it, and whether there are ingredients AADF marks down, such as unnamed meat derivatives, added sugar or artificial additives. A high score is a good sign that a food is made from recognisable ingredients and labelled openly.

It is not a feeding trial and it is not a verdict on your dog. A food that scores in the nineties can still disagree with a particular dog's stomach, and a cheaper food that scores lower can suit a dog perfectly well. That is why we read the score alongside the price, the format and, above all, how our own dogs get on.

What it means for us

Our two dogs, Roxy and Bracken, have eaten Bella & Duke for about three years. We came to it after trying other brands that either didn't agree with their tummies or didn't feel good enough on quality, so it is reassuring to see an independent site score the ingredients this highly. It does not change the honest downsides: raw food costs more than kibble, it takes freezer space, and raw meat needs careful handling in the kitchen.

Our Bella & Duke All About Dog Food rating guide explains the scores in more detail and will be kept up to date as AADF updates its page. For the full first-hand picture, read our Bella & Duke review.

One more thing we noticed: AADF's page also shows its own exclusive Bella & Duke code. Codes can't be combined, so if you are deciding between that and a friend code, our current raw dog food offers page sets out what each one gives.
