Purizon Puppy Chicken with Fish - Grain-Free review

A solid, honest dry food. 26% declared meat content is respectable, and the label tells you exactly what is inside. Feeding it costs about 67p a day for a typical adult dog - the breakdown below shows exactly what that buys.

Our analysis

Breaking the 73 down: the biggest single loss is declared meat content, where it takes 3 of a possible 15. Its strongest showing is label transparency at 15 of 15.

The label declares 26% meat, which is a real number, which already puts it ahead of the many that print none, and the ingredient list names things individually rather than hiding them in catch-all categories.

At about 67p a day to feed a 10kg dog, the question is not whether it is cheap but whether the label justifies the price - and on our scoring, it broadly does.

How heavy is your dog?

A typical 10 kg adult dog needs about 154 g a day = £0.67 / day, £20.37 / 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 10 kg dog works out near 534 kcal).
  2. Portion: divide that by this food's energy density, 347 kcal/100g, to get the grams above - a denser food needs fewer grams.
  3. Cost: multiply the grams by this food's price, £4.37 / 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. This is a puppy food, but the figures above are for an adult dog at maintenance - the same reference we use on every food so costs stay comparable. A growing puppy needs roughly twice the energy for its weight, so feed to the pack, not to this. Try the full feeding calculator
