How it works
What happens when you check a bowl.
Every nutrient gets compared.
The recipe is checked line by line against NRC minimums and safe upper limits. Anything the data can't confirm is flagged as "can't verify," never quietly assumed.
Read the verdict, close the gaps.
You get a plain-language verdict, and every gap comes with real-food suggestions in exact grams. Nothing is added unless you accept it.
The standard
WoofChef checks every recipe against the National Research Council's nutrition standards.
The NRC's Nutrient Requirements of Dogs and Cats (2006) is the foundational reference that commercial standards like AAFCO and FEDIAF build on. WoofChef compares recipes to the NRC standard directly, because its targets are better suited for home-prepared diets.
What is the NRC standard?- 40 nutrients checked on every analysis, from protein to selenium
- Safe upper limits enforced, not just minimums
- Every verdict shows the target it was checked against
