Our take on Chappie
Written by us, from the labels. Never written, reviewed or paid for by the brand.
Chappie scores low with us. Across 4 rated foods it averages 17/100 (Avoid), ranking 271 of 290, with even its strongest, Chappie Chicken & Rice, reaching only 25/100. It is worth being straight about why, because a lot of people feed this and deserve a real explanation rather than a sneer.
The score is about disclosure. The ingredient lists lead on cereals and broad category terms rather than named meat with a declared percentage, and our system cannot award points for meat it cannot see. That is not the same as saying the food is harmful. It means you have no way to know what proportion of the tin or the bag is what, and no way to compare it against anything else on a like-for-like basis.
Broad terms are legal and normal at this price. What they buy the manufacturer is flexibility: the recipe can shift between batches with whatever protein is cheap that month, and nothing on the packaging has to change. Some dogs eat food described this way for a whole long life without a problem. The point is that you are trusting rather than checking.
Chappie is one of the oldest dog food brands in Britain, it is stocked almost everywhere, and it is cheap. Those are real advantages and we are not going to pretend otherwise, particularly for anyone feeding several dogs or working to a tight weekly shop.
If it fits your budget and your dog is doing well on it, you are not doing anything wrong. If you have a bit of headroom, the alternatives below cost a little more per day and tell you considerably more about what is in them - that is the comparison worth making, rather than switching on the strength of a number.
