I wouldn't worry too much about scoring the food because it is really based on opinion. For example, why do we add 2 points for barley? What makes barley better than brown rice? Why add 5 points if a nutritionist endorses it? Ellie's nutritionist likes Science Diet, Purina... So if you are looking for a premium food, nutritionists might not endorse them...

Is you Yorkie doing well on the food (no GI upset or itchies)?
