At the moment my Border Terrier is fed on Wainwright's Lamb grain free, he has no dietary requirements as he's three years old and healthy but it was the highest % of meat out of the Wainwright's range.

As he's three I want to make sure I'm feeding him something that will help him stay healthy, he was on Orijen as a puppy and wasn't that keen.

Current food contains:
Lamb (42%) (Lamb Meat Meal, Lamb Gravy), Sweet Potato (30%), Potato (8%), Rapeseed Oil (4%), Pea Starch (4%), Linseed (3%), Beet Pulp (2%), Alfalfa (1%), Yeasts, Carrot (1%), Minerals, Tomato Powder (0.5%), Seaweed Meal (0.5%), Herbs (Marjoram 167 mg/kg, Oregano 167mg/kg, Sage 167 mg/kg, Parsley 167 mg/kg, Rosemary 167 mg/kg), Yucca (200 mg/kg), Cranberry (100 mg/kg), Marigold (50 mg/kg).

And costs £37 for 10kg

Is there something I can feed of a comparable price but a higher quality?
 
http://www.allaboutdogfood.co.uk/ is a brilliant resource for this kind of thing as you can compare cost per day by weight of dog.

Aatu is £60/10kg which looks prohibitive but the feeding amounts are much smaller - for a 10kg dog it works out at 70p a day compared to 72p for the lamb Wainwrights. Mine are mainly raw fed but have the odd 'takeaway' meal of Aatu and I've been really impressed by it.

Others that come up as higher quality but cheaper than Wainwrights (per day, not per bag) are Millies Wolfheart, Eden, Applaws and Acana.
