Our analysis

Breaking the 76 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 26.8 of a possible 40. Its strongest showing is declared meat content at 14.8 of 15.

The label declares 40% meat, which is a real number, which already puts it ahead of the many that print none, 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.

Pack sizeRRPPer kg
156 g£1.40£8.97

How heavy is your dog?

A typical 15 kg adult dog needs about 905 g a day = £8.12 / day, £246.85 / 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 15 kg dog works out near 725 kcal).
  2. Portion: divide that by this food's energy density, 80 kcal/100g, to get the grams above - a denser food needs fewer grams.
  3. Cost: multiply the grams by this food's price, £8.97 / 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
