WetAdultFussy eaters
Poor

A weak wet food by the label. 43% declared meat content is respectable, and the label keeps too much vague. The breakdown below shows exactly where every point went.

Our analysis

Breaking the 39 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 26.8 of a possible 40. Its strongest showing is additives at 10 of 10. 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 43% meat, which is a real number, which already puts it ahead of the many that print none, 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

How heavy is your dog?

A typical 15 kg adult dog needs about 188 g a day.

No reliable price data for this food yet, so no cost estimate - we only show numbers we can back.

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, 77 kcal/100g, to get the grams above - a denser food needs fewer grams.

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
