Our take on Leader

Written by us, from the labels. Never written, reviewed or paid for by the brand.

Leader is dry food only, and the range is unusually consistent: 18 rated foods spanning just 12 points, from 66 to 78, averaging 72/100 (Good).

Consistency at this level means the brand applies one standard rather than running a premium line and a budget line under one badge. Its best, Leader Puppy Small Breed, takes 78/100, and nothing in the range falls far behind it.

The recipes are straightforward - named meat, sensible carbohydrate, nothing exotic and nothing hidden. Our score rewards clarity as much as content, and this range is consistently clear.

It ranks 171 of 304 on average, and the cheapest food works out around £0.67 a day, which is good value for the standard on offer.

Nobody is going to get excited about Leader. That is rather the point: it is a low-risk choice where any bag on the shelf is a reasonable bag.
