Where the points went

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

Ingredient quality
Weighted ingredient quality 57/100 across 24 ingredients (declared percentages used for 1, position estimates for the rest). Named meat is only 5% of the recognised recipe, so the quality score is anchored down towards a plant-led food.
19.2 / 40
Label clarity
Every ingredient individually named (+5); no percentages declared at all - the recipe is unverifiable; meat sources named (+2); recipe reads as a fixed formula (+2).

Our analysis

Breaking the 53 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 19.2 of a possible 40. Its strongest showing is additives at 9.3 of 10.

The label declares 5% meat, which is a low figure, and a declared low figure is still more honest than silence, and the ingredient list is only partly specific.

At about 79p 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 does not.

Feeding & cost

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

Pack sizeRRPPer kg
11.5 kg£58.00£5.04

How heavy is your dog?

A typical 10 kg adult dog needs about 156 g a day = £0.79 / day, £24.02 / 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 10 kg dog works out near 534 kcal).
  2. Portion: divide that by this food's energy density, 342 kcal/100g, to get the grams above - a denser food needs fewer grams.
  3. Cost: multiply the grams by this food's price, £5.04 / 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
