Our analysis

Breaking the 65 down: the biggest single loss is additives, where it takes 0.8 of a possible 10. Its strongest showing is declared meat content at 15 of 15. On top of that, 16 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 no meat percentage at all, so there is no way to verify how much of the recipe is animal protein, and the ingredient list names things individually rather than hiding them in catch-all categories.

At about £6.44 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.

How heavy is your dog?

A typical 15 kg adult dog needs about 156 g a day = £6.45 / day, £196.08 / month.

How we work this out

Energy: an adult dog at rest needs about 95 × weight^0.75 kcal a day (the FEDIAF maintenance formula - a 15 kg dog works out near 725 kcal).
Portion: divide that by this food's energy density, 465 kcal/100g, to get the grams above - a denser food needs fewer grams.
Cost: multiply the grams by this food's price, £41.33 / 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
