Yarrah Organic Vegan Wheat-Free review

A weak dry food by the label. The label keeps too much vague. Feeding it costs about 91p a day for a typical adult dog - the breakdown below shows exactly what that buys.

Where the points went

The full breakdown, exactly as the algorithm scored it. How our rating works

Ingredient quality
Weighted ingredient quality 45/100 across 11 ingredients (declared percentages used for 3, position estimates for the rest). Legumes carry 66% of the recipe. The FDA found no causal link between legume-rich diets and canine heart disease (DCM), though some cardiologists advise caution - noted for information, not scored. Named meat is only 0% of the recognised recipe, so the quality score is anchored down towards a plant-led food.
14.4 / 40
Label clarity
Vague category terms on the label (sunflower cake) - naming points withheld; percentages cover 28% of the recipe (+1.7); recipe reads as a fixed formula (+2).
3.7 / 15
Additives
No artificial colours, flavours, controversial preservatives or added sugars found.
10 / 10
Red flags
No red-flag ingredients.
0 / 0
Meat content
Meat content not declared and no named meat leads the label.

Nutritional balance
Estimated carbohydrate 41% dry matter (moderate); fat 16.3% DM in the healthy band; fibre 7.9% DM (+0); ash 8.7% DM - sensible mineral load (+1.5); functional extras: pre/probiotics (+1).

Our analysis

Breaking the 39 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 14.4 of a possible 40. Its strongest showing is additives at 10 of 10.

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 leans on vague groupings instead of naming what is actually in the bag.

At about 91p 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 does not.

Feeding & cost

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

Pack sizeRRPPer kg
10 kg£75.00£7.50

How heavy is your dog?

A typical 10 kg adult dog needs about 156 g a day = £0.92 / day, £27.97 / 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, 343 kcal/100g, to get the grams above - a denser food needs fewer grams.
  3. Cost: multiply the grams by this food's price, £5.87 / 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
