Country Value Dog Food Review & Ratings

We have rated 1 Country Value food, and it scores 13/100 (Avoid). That is close to the bottom of this site, so it deserves an explanation rather than a verdict.

A score that low normally means we are missing label data. Here it is what the label actually says. The recipe is cereal-led and described in broad category terms, with no named meat and no declared percentage of anything that matters. Our score is not punishing the ingredients - it is punishing the fact that you are not told what they are.

Phrases like meat and animal derivatives are legal and used across the budget end of the market. What they do in practice is let a manufacturer swap what goes in from batch to batch, depending on what is cheap that week, with the bag reading identically each time. Plenty of dogs live long, happy lives on food described this way. The point is that you have no way to check, and no way to compare.

Country Value is a budget range from Burgess, sold into the working-dog and greyhound end of the market where cost per kilo genuinely decides the purchase - often for someone feeding several dogs at once. That is a real constraint and not something to be sniffy about. But there are foods on this site at close to the same cost per day that tell you what is in the bag, and that is the comparison worth making before your next order.
