Cost Effective Pet Food Nutrition

Arden Grange is unique in that when developing our products, we create the recipe first and then fix a price. We don't set a price first and then source the ingredients to fall within a specific cost bracket. This means we can guarantee that every single one of the nutrients used is super premium quality, offering the best nutrition for your pet. We manufacture to a fixed recipe, and will never reduce the quality of our ingredients because of market prices.

It is impossible to compare two different manufacturer's feeds price-wise bag for bag. This is because the feeding recommendations may differ. To make a true comparison, you would need to work out the daily feeding cost.

Arden Grange Adult Sensitive dog food can often work out cheaper than you think with a 12kg bag containing 57 days of feeding with an average monthly feeding cost from £26. 29p, based on the average requirement of a 20kg adult dog with normal activity*

*Based on the recommended manufacturer retail price for the largest available bag size, and recommended feeding guidelines from the manufacturer.

If using Arden Grange Partners in conjunction with Arden Grange Complete dry foods, follow guidelines on the dry food bag but reduce the amount you feed by 40grms for every 120gms of Partners fed.

Feeding The Correct Amount

It is important to remember however that these figures are guidelines only, and there are several factors to be taken into account when assessing your pet's nutritional requirements : -

1. Activity level
2. Temperament (stressed animals burn off more calories than relaxed ones)
3. Metabolism (every animal is an individual with his or her own speed of metabolism; this means that 2 dogs of the same age, breed and weight could have different daily calorie requirements)

In order to provide the correct portions when feeding your dog or cat, it is also helpful to assess your pet's appetite, visual appearance and stools. Whilst poo watching does not sound particularly pleasant, it is one of the best indicators of health. Increased frequency of passing faeces, production of large quantities of stools of loose motions are often frequent signs that an animal is receiving more food than he or she requires.

It is important to obtain an accurate weight for your cat or dog, and also to weigh out the food. Guessing on both accounts gives a large margin of error.

Changing Food Brands

For a successful diet change, we recommend following the feeding pattern below. The daily feeding amount should be split into two equal amounts and the proportions of new food increased over the first week as illustrated.

TOP TIPS: For those dogs who do not make eating a priority, here are some additional points:
- Reduce the number of tit-bits given during the introductory period
- If your dog has been used to eating wet food, moisten with warm water.
