Crave Adult Turkey & Chicken Dry Dog Food review

A solid, honest dry food. 28.6% declared meat content is respectable, and the label keeps too much vague. Feeding it costs about 65p a day for a typical adult dog - the breakdown below shows exactly what that buys.

Our analysis

Breaking the 69 down: the biggest single loss is label transparency, where it takes 4.3 of a possible 15. Its strongest showing is declared meat content at 15 of 15.

The label declares 28.6% meat, which is a real number, which already puts it ahead of the many that print none, and the ingredient list leans on vague groupings instead of naming what is actually in the bag.

At about 65p 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 135 g a day = £0.65 / day, £19.76 / 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, 397 kcal/100g, to get the grams above - a denser food needs fewer grams.
  3. Cost: multiply the grams by this food's price, £4.83 / 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
