Collards Puppy Dry Turkey & Rice review
A solid, honest dry food. 39.5% declared meat content is respectable, and the label tells you exactly what is inside. Feeding it costs about 58p a day for a typical adult dog - the breakdown below shows exactly what that buys.

Our analysis
Breaking the 77 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 26 of a possible 40. Its strongest showing is additives at 10 of 10.
The label declares 39.5% 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 58p 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.

Feeding & cost
What a bag actually costs to feed - worked out per dog, not per pack.
| Pack size | RRP | Per kg |

How heavy is your dog?
A typical 10 kg adult dog needs about 150 g a day = £0.59 / day, £17.94 / 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, 357 kcal/100g, to get the grams above - a denser food needs fewer grams.
- Cost: multiply the grams by this food's price, £3.90 / 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. This is a puppy food, but the figures above are for an adult dog at maintenance - the same reference we use on every food so costs stay comparable. A growing puppy needs roughly twice the energy for its weight, so feed to the pack, not to this. Try the full feeding calculator
