Why items appear here
Items appear when their source records satisfy your hard filters (pet type, life stage, feed form, main ingredient) and stay visible with honest gaps for soft context (need, budget). Filtered by pet context — shortlist logic, not ranking. Missing data stays visible instead of being filled in. Public scoring is not active.
Ask your veterinarian for diet-specific decisions. See the full methodology.
