Our take on Hero
Written by us, from the labels. Never written, reviewed or paid for by the brand.
Hero posts one of the lowest brand averages we hold: 17/100 (Avoid) across 11 rated foods, ranking 273 of 290, with scores running 12 to 22.
The reason is consistent across the range. These recipes describe their contents in the vaguest terms the labelling rules allow - derivative categories rather than named species, unspecified cereals rather than named grains - so there is no way to know from the packaging what proportion of the tin is meat, or which animal it came from. That is precisely what our score is built to detect.
Its best food manages 22/100, which tells you the ceiling here is low rather than the average being dragged down by a few poor lines.
Cost is not the compensation you might expect either - the cheapest works out around £0.12 a day, which is not the bottom of the market.
If price is the priority, the budget rankings hold foods scoring three times higher for similar money. If a dog is thriving on this food, that is real information and worth more than our number - but there is no version of these labels that our scoring can rate well.
