Taste of the Wild Puppy High Prairie Grain-Free review

A solid, honest dry food. Just 4% declared meat content, and the label keeps too much vague. Feeding it costs about 72p a day for a typical adult dog - the breakdown below shows exactly what that buys.

Our analysis

Breaking the 60 down: the biggest single loss is label transparency, where it takes 2.9 of a possible 15. Its strongest showing is additives at 10 of 10.

The label declares 4% meat, which is a low figure, and a declared low figure is still more honest than silence, and the ingredient list leans on vague groupings instead of naming what is actually in the bag.

At about 72p 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.

Feeding & cost

What a bag actually costs to feed - worked out per dog, not per pack.

Pack sizeRRPPer kg
12.2 kg£59.99£4.92

How heavy is your dog?

A typical 10 kg adult dog needs about 146 g a day = £0.72 / day, £21.89 / 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, 366 kcal/100g, to get the grams above - a denser food needs fewer grams.
  3. Cost: multiply the grams by this food's price, £4.92 / 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
