Our analysis

Breaking the 79 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 29.7 of a possible 40. Its strongest showing is declared meat content at 15 of 15.

The label declares 50% meat, which is unusually specific - most brands never print a figure at all, and the ingredient list names things individually rather than hiding them in catch-all categories.

Feeding & cost

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

How heavy is your dog?

A typical 15 kg adult dog needs about 188 g a day.

No reliable price data for this food yet, so no cost estimate - we only show numbers we can back.

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 15 kg dog works out near 725 kcal).
  2. Portion: we don't have this food's calories yet, so we fall back to a rough 12.5 g per kg of dog.

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
