Our analysis

Breaking the 69 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 25.4 of a possible 40. Its strongest showing is additives at 10 of 10.

The label declares 26% meat, which is a real number, which already puts it ahead of the many that print none, and the ingredient list is only partly specific.

At about 21p 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.

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

How heavy is your dog?

A typical 10 kg adult dog needs about 139 g a day = £0.21 / day, £6.38 / 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, 385 kcal/100g, to get the grams above - a denser food needs fewer grams.
  3. Cost: multiply the grams by this food's price, £1.51 / 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
