DAF Premium Dog Food Review & Ratings

DAF Premium is the upper range from Durham Animal Feeds, a County Durham raw producer, and it makes the case that good raw does not have to be expensive. Across 2 rated foods it averages 82/100 (Very good), ranking 82 of 304, with a spread of only 6 point between the two.

The better of them is DAF Premium Dinner Range with Fruit & Veg at 85/100. The difference between the two recipes is the addition of fruit and vegetables, which is a genuine formulation choice rather than a marketing one, and the scores reflect it modestly.

What makes this range worth a look is the economics. Raw feeding is usually presented as the premium option, and a lot of the price is packaging, portioning and subscription convenience rather than the meat itself. Buying frozen minces in bulk from a producer that sells on volume strips most of that out. You pay for it in freezer space and in doing your own portioning.

If raw appeals but the cost has put you off, this is the part of the market to look at. Check the individual food pages below for the specific recipe, and factor in delivery, which on frozen goods is rarely cheap.
