Orlando Pate Trays review

Poor

A weak wet food by the label. Just 4% declared meat content, and the label keeps too much vague. Feeding it costs about £2.48 a day for a typical adult dog - the breakdown below shows exactly what that buys.

Where the points went

The full breakdown, exactly as the algorithm scored it. How our rating works

Ingredient quality
Weighted ingredient quality 62/100 across 3 ingredients (declared percentages used for 2, position estimates for the rest). Named meat is only 4% of the recognised recipe, so the quality score is anchored down towards a plant-led food.
20.6 / 40
Label clarity
Vague category terms on the label (Meat and Animal Derivatives) - naming points withheld; no percentages declared at all - the recipe is unverifiable; meat sources named (+2); variable-composition wording - fixed-formula points withheld.

Our analysis

Breaking the 36 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 20.6 of a possible 40. Its strongest showing is additives at 10 of 10. On top of that, 10 points are deducted outright for red-flag ingredients - a penalty applied before anything else is counted, which is why the total lands where it does.

The label declares 4% meat, which is a low figure, and a declared low figure is still more honest than silence, and the ingredient list leans on vague groupings instead of naming what is actually in the bag.

At about £2.48 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 sizeRRPPer kg
150 g£0.38£2.53

How heavy is your dog?

A typical 15 kg adult dog needs about 978 g a day = £2.47 / day, £75.09 / 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, 74 kcal/100g, to get the grams above - a denser food needs fewer grams.
  3. Cost: multiply the grams by this food's price, £2.53 / 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
