Wainwright’s Sensitive Puppy Dry Food review
Where the points went
The full breakdown, exactly as the algorithm scored it. How our rating works
Our analysis
Breaking the 85 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 32.2 of a possible 40. Its strongest showing is declared meat content at 15 of 15.
The label declares 51% 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 81p 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.

Feeding & cost
What a bag actually costs to feed - worked out per dog, not per pack.
| Pack size | RRP | Per kg |
|---|---|---|
| 12 kg | £54.99 | £4.58 |
How heavy is your dog?
A typical 15 kg adult dog needs about 178 g a day = £0.82 / day, £24.93 / 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 15 kg dog works out near 725 kcal).
- Portion: divide that by this food's energy density, 407 kcal/100g, to get the grams above - a denser food needs fewer grams.
- Cost: multiply the grams by this food's price, £4.58 / 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
