Simpsons Premium 60/40 review
A solid, honest dry food. 53% declared meat content leads the label, and the label tells you exactly what is inside. Feeding it costs about 78p a day for a typical adult dog - the breakdown below shows exactly what that buys.

Our analysis
Breaking the 79 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 29.9 of a possible 40. Its strongest showing is additives at 10 of 10.
The label declares 53% 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 78p 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 156 g a day = £0.78 / day, £23.71 / month.
How we work this out
- 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).
- Portion: divide that by this food's energy density, 343 kcal/100g, to get the grams above - a denser food needs fewer grams.
- Cost: multiply the grams by this food's price, £5.00 / 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
