Alpha Spirit The Only One Complete review
About as good as cold-pressed food gets. 45% declared meat content is respectable, and the label tells you exactly what is inside. Feeding it costs about 91p a day for a typical adult dog - the breakdown below shows exactly what that buys.

The full breakdown, exactly as the algorithm scored it. How our rating works
Our analysis
Breaking the 91 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 34.8 of a possible 40. Its strongest showing is declared meat content at 15 of 15.
The label declares 45% meat, which is a real number, which already puts it ahead of the many that print none, and the ingredient list names things individually rather than hiding them in catch-all categories.
At about 91p a day to feed a 10kg dog, the question is not whether it is cheap but whether the label justifies the price - and on our scoring, it broadly does.

How heavy is your dog?
A typical 10 kg adult dog needs about 144 g a day = £0.91 / day, £27.66 / month.
How we work this out
- Energy: an adult dog at rest needs about 95 × weight0.75 kcal a day (the FEDIAF maintenance formula - a 10 kg dog works out near 534 kcal).
- Portion: divide that by this food's energy density, 371 kcal/100g, to get the grams above - a denser food needs fewer grams.
- Cost: multiply the grams by this food's price, £6.29 / 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
