Salubrious Healthy Dog Food Cold-Pressed With Grains review

Cold-pressedPuppyAdultSeniorWeight management
Average

A middling cold-pressed food - fine, with clear compromises. 36% declared meat content is respectable. Feeding it costs about 75p a day for a typical adult dog - the breakdown below shows exactly what that buys.

Our analysis

Breaking the 54 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 26 of a possible 40. Its strongest showing is declared meat content at 11.4 of 15. On top of that, 8 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 36% meat, which is a real number, which already puts it ahead of the many that print none, and the ingredient list is only partly specific.

At about 75p 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.

How heavy is your dog?

A typical 15 kg adult dog needs about 224 g a day = £0.75 / day, £22.80 / 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, 323 kcal/100g, to get the grams above - a denser food needs fewer grams.
  3. Cost: multiply the grams by this food's price, £3.33 / 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
