A middling treat food - fine, with clear compromises. The label keeps too much vague. The breakdown below shows exactly where every point went.

Our analysis

Breaking the 53 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 24.5 of a possible 40.

The label declares no meat percentage at all, so there is no way to verify how much of the recipe is animal protein, and the ingredient list leans on vague groupings instead of naming what is actually in the bag.

How heavy is your dog?

A typical 15 kg adult dog needs about 188 g a day.

No reliable price data for this food yet, so no cost estimate - we only show numbers we can back.

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, 279 kcal/100g, to get the grams above - a denser food needs fewer grams.

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
