zooplus pet food data: recipes, pack options and nutrition panels
A zooplus pet-food field guide to category filters, recipe and pack variants, ingredient panels, analytical constituents, feeding tables, and changing Repeat offers.
The zooplus shop is a retailer with market-specific pet-food records
The zooplus.com shop is operated by zooplus SE. Its public navigation spans dog, cat, small-pet, bird and aquatic departments plus specialist food; this guide narrows to food-page fields. A displayed product brand and any named manufacturer are separate from the retailer.
Retail identity and record scope
| Dimension | What a page can establish | Keep it distinct |
|---|---|---|
| Retailer | The current Terms name zooplus SE as the shop operator. | The retailer is not automatically the food manufacturer. |
| Displayed brand | Use the brand label shown on the individual food listing. | Corporate-listed private labels and external brands both appear. |
| Species and department | Record the species and food category from the product path or page labels. | Food fields differ by species and dry, wet or other format. |
| Market | Keep the selected shop/country and displayed currency with offer observations. | Do not carry one market's prices or terms to another. |
Category facets answer browse questions, not item-level questions
The dog dry-food category illustrates how zooplus organizes food searches. These are category filters; a label is not guaranteed to appear on every item or other species category.

| Facet group | Source labels include | Interpretation limit |
|---|---|---|
| Food and audience | Food Type, dog size, life stage | A browse facet does not prove an item's intended audience beyond its own page. |
| Formula descriptors | Flavour, Food Specificity, Special Care Needs | Keep retailer categories separate from manufacturer statements. |
| Package and unit | Packaging, Dry Food Packaging Size Per Unit, Price per kg | Unit-price comparisons require matching food and pack context. |
| Brand and origin | Brand, zooplus Originals, Made in | Made in is a source label; don't infer an unlabeled manufacturer or origin value. |
A food, its recipe and its selected pack are separate records
A product page can present one food identity with selectable flavour or package options. Preserve the selected option and the source's labels instead of flattening the page into one product row.
Product-to-pack relationship
| Layer | Useful source evidence | Do not infer |
|---|---|---|
| Retail item | Displayed title, species, food type and page path | A number in a URL is not automatically a merchant SKU. |
| Brand and recipe | Displayed brand plus a recipe/formula label when shown | Retailer and brand are different entities; recipe names may change. |
| Selected option | The active flavour, food format or package choice | A selector value does not prove a universal variant ID. |
| Pack relationship | Single package, multipack or economy-pack description | Keep unit count and total quantity attached to that option. |
Ingredients, additives, energy and analytical constituents are different panels
zooplus product details give these food fields separate headings. Preserve their labels, units, formula and selected option as one source observation.
Food-detail panel map
| Panel | Map these attributes | Keep attached to |
|---|---|---|
| Ingredients | Ordered ingredient text and any declared proportions | The exact product page and recipe label. |
| Additives per kg | The source's nutritional or technological additive grouping | The stated per-kilogram unit and formula. |
| Energy per kg | Value, unit and stated energy basis when provided | The formula and the source's own labeling. |
| Analytical constituents | Each source-named constituent, value and unit | The same selected option and observation date. |
Recipe and packaging labels can disagree on one product page
On the reviewed Feringa cat-food page, the Original recipe and New Recipe ingredient, additive and energy panels differ, while the packaging notice says the redesign leaves the same content. Keep both page statements attributed and date-scoped; do not reconcile them.
Preserving source-page transitions
| Evidence | Record separately | Safe reading |
|---|---|---|
| Recipe heading | The exact Original recipe/New Recipe label and its panel | Do not merge two formula panels into one. |
| Package option | Selected pack label and any new-recipe/package tag | A displayed pack tag may be option-specific. |
| Packaging notice | The merchant's statement about design or packaging changes | That notice appears beside different Original recipe and New Recipe panels; retain both source statements and the review date without treating them as equivalent. |
| Page-format label | A reviewed Concept for Life cat-food detail labels the item “cat wet food” in its title/category, while the product description calls it “dry food”. | Preserve both first-party labels with their page and review date; infer neither format. |
| Observation context | First-party URL and review date | Volatile transition copy needs a dated reference. |
Feeding tables are product-scoped source guidance
Food pages may pair a recommendation with a table. The page can document its structure without reproducing portions or advising what an individual animal should eat.
Feeding-guide field map
| Table element | Possible source label | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Food and audience | Species, life stage, formula and selected option | Do not assume a guide transfers across recipes or formats. |
| Input band | Animal weight, activity or other stated grouping | Use only the categories printed in that guide. |
| Serving output | Daily amount and unit | Keep source units and serving basis unchanged. |
| Feeding mode | Dry, wet or mixed-feeding columns where present | Do not infer equivalence between food formats. |
| Caveat | The page's own guidance or adjustment note | This is source-authored information, not veterinary advice. |
Offers, delivery and zooplus Repeat need market and time context
A retail offer belongs to a selected pack, store locale and observation time. The reviewed Terms cover consumer orders and repeat-delivery conditions; they are not a product feed specification or crawler permission.
Changing offer and policy signals
| Signal | Useful context | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Price and unit price | Selected package, displayed currency, locale and observation time | Do not treat promotions or unit prices as stable product properties. |
| Availability and delivery | The item/option and the store's displayed status or delivery label | These can vary by stock, destination and time. |
| zooplus Repeat | Eligibility, price/discount context and the Terms status date | The Terms say eligibility and price/discount/availability can change; omit account details. |
| Retail Terms | Status dated 31 July 2026; consumer and household-quantity scope | The page says commercial resale is not permitted; do not draw a separate crawler-permission conclusion. |
| Robots evidence | Direct public robots response was not verified in this review | Do not state a robots allowance or permission. |
| Market delivery copy | The Terms, marked 31 July 2026, say delivery is only within the United Kingdom; the reviewed dry-dog category copy refers to shipment across Ireland. | Keep the Terms and category URL/date contexts separate; the two statements do not establish a universal delivery market. |
