Adventuros Sticks Buffalo review

Adult
Avoid

One of the weakest treat foods we have rated. Just 14% declared meat content, and the label keeps too much vague. The breakdown below shows exactly where every point went.

Where the points went

The full breakdown, exactly as the algorithm scored it. How our rating works

Ingredient quality
Weighted ingredient quality 23/100 across 8 ingredients (declared percentages used for 1, position estimates for the rest). Named meat is only 15% of the recognised recipe, so the quality score is anchored down towards a plant-led food.
8.3 / 40
Label clarity
Vague category terms on the label (Grains, meat and animal by-products, vegetable protein extracts) - naming points withheld; percentages cover 8% of the recipe (+0.5); variable-composition wording - fixed-formula points withheld.
0.5 / 15
Additives
Added sugars/sweeteners (-4); declared additives below our neutral line, weakest being sugar (-6).
0 / 10
Red flags
Grains leads the label (-10); glycerine at position 2 (-16); meat and animal by-products at position 3 (-16); sugar at position 4 (-16); oils and fats. Corresponds to 24% rehydrated meat and animal by-products at position 9 (-6); penalties capped at -25 (uncapped: -64).

Our analysis

Breaking the 0 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 8.3 of a possible 40. On top of that, 25 points are deducted outright for red-flag ingredients - a penalty applied before anything else is counted, which is why the total lands where it does.

The label declares 14% meat, which is a low figure, and a declared low figure is still more honest than silence, and the ingredient list leans on vague groupings instead of naming what is actually in the bag.

Feeding & cost

What a bag actually costs to feed - worked out per dog, not per pack.

Pack sizeRRPPer kg
120 g--
240 g--

How heavy is your dog?

A typical 15 kg adult dog needs about 266 g a day = £2.98 / day, £90.59 / month.

How we work this out
  1. Energy: an adult dog at rest needs about 95 × weight0.75 kcal a day (the FEDIAF maintenance formula - a 15 kg dog works out near 725 kcal).
  2. Portion: divide that by this food's energy density, 272 kcal/100g, to get the grams above - a denser food needs fewer grams.
  3. Cost: multiply the grams by this food's price, £11.21 / kg, for the daily cost, then by 30.4 days for the month.

Estimates scale to your dog's weight and the food's calorie density - a denser food needs fewer grams. A rough guide; always follow the pack. Try the full feeding calculator
