Best cheap dog food in the UK to feed your pooch on a budget

A superb bulk buy option that is rich in vitamins, this 15kg bag of Harringtons Complete Dry Dog Food gives you 150 x 100g servings for around 25p per serving.

Healthy and nutritious, the kibble contains 26 per cent turkey to provide your pooch with much-needed protein for muscle strength and growth plus added Omega 6 and 3 oils for a glossy coat. Additionally, it'll keep your dog nice and regular with beet pulp to support stool quality and digestion transit and prebiotics to maintain healthy digestion.

With excellent ingredients at an affordable price, Harringtons is bursting with goodness and customers on Amazon agree, saying it's great value, quality food for their pooch. Some customers thought the kibble was slightly on the smaller side, so this may mean it might be a better option for small breeds rather than larger ones.

If you feed a small dog one tin of Pets at Home's own-brand Adult Chunks Mixed Variety Dog Food Tins daily, the cost is just 57p per day. Double this for a large dog and it's still only just over £1.

Full of flavour, your dog will savour the meat and vegetables in jelly and gravy. With four flavours to choose from in both gravy and jelly form, in addition to a complete recipe that gives your dog essential nutrition, this budget option is complete and balanced while ensuring your pooch doesn't get too bored of what's in their bowl.

Each recipe contains vital vitamins and minerals your pooch needs for keeping them happy and healthy but it's slightly let down by the fact there's only eight per cent protein in each one.

Made with nourishing and all-natural ingredients, Butcher's Traditional Recipes Adult Wet Dog Food Trays are quality food that will help your dog maintain a healthy weight and muscle condition all for less than 65p per tray.

You benefit from each portion being foil-sealed in a tray for freshness. Additionally, Butcher's wet food is grain-free, which makes it a super option for dogs with sensitive digestion. Added vegetables and botanicals, such as chicory and parsley, provide cell-strengthening antioxidants.

Customers online have found the food keeps their pooch full and satisfied and they love how easy the packaging is to open. It's worth noting that the recipes are only suitable for dogs over one year old so you will want to consider another option if you're after a food that can be fed throughout puppyhood into adulthood.

Soft, moist and meaty dry dog food - HiLife FEED ME! gives you superb value for money. If you feed an average-sized dog 250g of HiLife FEED ME! a day, it works out at 24 meals for 73p per day.

Tasty Beef Cheese and Vegetables is a complete food that contains essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A to support eye health. Added calcium and vitamin D will support your dog's bones and there are essential fatty acids to give your pet a glossy coat.

It's kibble that has it all at a budget price and has received over 3,000 positive reviews on Amazon with a 4.7 out of 5 approval rate. It ranks highly for flavour, ingredient quality and value for money but gets top marks from reviews for the overall scent of the food, which should be more than enough to lure your pooch to their bowl. It's worth noting this food contains a high percentage of wheat, with wholegrain wheat and wheat bran listed as the main ingredients, which some dogs can be allergic to.

Bakers Complete Puppy contains everything for puppies to grow into active, healthy and happy dogs at just 15p per portion, based on feeding your puppy 55g meals every day.

With wholesome meaty bites mixed with crunchy and dried carrots and peas, Bakers is a delicious dry food that has bite-size kibble designed for smaller mouths. Additionally, the recipe is fortified with essential Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA for healthy vision development and brain functioning. Suitable for puppies between six weeks and 24 months of age with an adapted kibble size for smaller mouths, this is a great budget option to feed your pup at the start of their life.

Customers appreciate the quality of food they're getting for the overall value of it and state it lasts for ages. Reviewers are also fans of the strong, sturdy bag it comes in, but you'll want to make sure you've got some proper food storage to keep it all else it'll go stale before your pup has had a chance to reach the bottom of the bag. The main ingredient of this food is cereals, with 50 per cent of that being wholegrains, so we wish this food had a higher percentage of meat so it was the main ingredient.

For dogs with sensitive digestion, Chappie Original does not contain any dairy, soya or red meat. The recipe is rich in white fish and low in calories so great for dogs who need to go on a bit of a weight-loss journey. It also contains added vitamins, fats, oils and minerals, so it is a complete food. Chappie Original has been developed with the nutritionists and veterinarians of Waltham, which is the world's leading authority on pet care and nutrition.

Whilst it's not the cheapest in this guide at £1.54 per tin, in comparison to premium brands like Lily's Kitchen, Chappie offers a budget option for sensitive and low-calorie diets. The feeding guide says that a small dog will need one tin per day, and naturally, this will increase to two tins for a large dog.

Reviews from pet owners mention this food has worked wonders for their hounds' sensitive tums and found that it was easily digestible for pups to chow down on. As the recipe is a fishy one, be prepared for it to smell when getting it out of the tin for your pooch - you may not love it, but your dog certainly will!

Cesar Garden Terrine Adult Wet Dog Food is a mixed selection of meat and vegetable meals in succulent loaf form that makes a lovely treat without breaking the budget. The cost per meal is around 99p and it competes with more premium brands that offer gourmet food for pets.

The terrines are high-quality recipes, such as Chicken, Carrots and Herbes de Provence, and made with natural ingredients. Your dog will love the mouthfeel and variety of flavours, as well as this complete food giving them everything they need for their vitality.

With over 5,000 reviews and an average rating of 4.6 stars out of 5, Cesar food is a popular choice with pooches and their owners. Many have commented that these trays are great for portion control and felt they offered a good-sized meal for smaller dogs. Reviewers are mixed on the smell, with some owners saying their dog loved it but others with fussy dogs found their pooches turned their nose up at this food.

Pedigree is a brand that's synonymous with dog food, and even though it is a cheaper option - at less than 50p per pouch - the recipes have been rigorously formulated to give your puppy the best start in life.

These pouches of easy-to-eat and digest chicken and rice have been developed with vets and nutritionists at Waltham Pet Nutrition Centre. Pedigree ensures this food is giving the optimum nutrition, including vitamin E and minerals to support their natural defences and natural fibres to aid digestion. Also, the added ingredients include zinc and sunflower oil for healthy skin and a glossy coat and calcium to support growing bones.

As the food is presented in pouch form, customers appreciate how easy it is to store. The food tends to be easier to come out of a pouch as it just slides straight out but you may occasionally get the odd meaty chunk stuck in the corners, which can be slightly tricky to get out. As the food is made with rice and contains cereals, this may not be the best option for pups who are showing signs of having grain or wheat allergies.
