Where the points went
The full breakdown, exactly as the algorithm scored it. How our rating works
Our analysis
Breaking the 44 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 0 of a possible 40. Its strongest showing is declared meat content at 15 of 15.
The label declares 100% meat, which is unusually specific - most brands never print a figure at all, and the ingredient list is only partly specific.
At about £2.32 a day to feed a 15kg dog, the question is not whether it is cheap but whether the label justifies the price - and on our scoring, it does not.

Feeding & cost
What a bag actually costs to feed - worked out per dog, not per pack.
| Pack size | RRP | Per kg |
|---|---|---|
| 500 g | £4.00 | £8.00 |
How heavy is your dog?
A typical 15 kg adult dog needs about 290 g a day = £2.32 / day, £70.53 / month.
How we work this out
- 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).
- Portion: divide that by this food's energy density, 250 kcal/100g, to get the grams above - a denser food needs fewer grams.
- Cost: multiply the grams by this food's price, £8.00 / 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
