    Burns works out under £2 per week. a 10kg dog (eg. cocker spaniel) will need 100g per day, and a 15kg bag costs around £32.

    I just did state what it costs:

    A 7.5kg sack lasts me over three months (but using 90 days as a guide), so it costs me a maximum of 20 pence per day.
    If you have a look at online store, you'll see that their basic varieties cost £6.35 for 2kg, £17.86 for 7.5kg and £34.65 for 15kg.

    This link will show you the approximate cost for feeding Burns per day.

    No, I am not an agent for Burns, I do not gain from the links, or have any financial interest in Burns. I am merely a very satisfied customer. :)

    Just found this page http://www.gilpa.co.uk/frame_productrange.php?site=djohn&page=productrange&category=3&product=8&stage=1

    It recommends approx 15g per kg body weight a day, which would work out at approx 10p per day for a 15kg dog, so yes much cheaper and quite similar in analysis to the Burns food ;)

    Purplemoon you have my respect,and your honesty is a credit,so if it is similar in analysis and much cheaper,that would suit Becles,

    No I don't sell it. TBH, you are coming across as having a bit of a problem re. Burns - I could ask if you work for the competition! OP asked for a decent quality feed that wasn't too expensive and as myself and another poster have pointed out you need to feed your dog a much smaller quantity (about half or a third) of Burns than you would a cheaper food, making it the same price or cheaper in the long run. I don't think under £2 a week is a lot to feed a medium-sized dog at all.

    I was merely replying to your questions. I am on a very slow network here, so other posters had answered your questions before my machine caught up.

    The OP did not specify what size bag/sack would be required for under £20 - so don't be sorry - I did read it.

    No I have no links with dog food or sell ,BUT i am on a MSE site and purplemoon has just shown this forum how cheaply MSEs can feed their dogs ,maintain them in healthy and fit manner cheaply ,it took a long time to get their ,but we have,Dr JOHNS is cheaper than Burns,with a similar analysis,I rest my case
    .We are trying to assist posters who are on a tight budget ,if you are a rich pet pamperer feed what-ever you want
