Paleo Ridge DIY review

Exceptional

About as good as raw food gets. 100% declared meat content leads the label, and the label tells you exactly what is inside. Feeding it costs about £2.52 a day for a typical adult dog - the breakdown below shows exactly what that buys.

Our analysis

Breaking the 93 down: the biggest single loss is nutritional balance, where it takes 7 of a possible 10. 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 names things individually rather than hiding them in catch-all categories.

At about £2.52 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 broadly does.
