Product review - Bakers Dog Food

Beta can be compared to Bakers as both brands are owned by the giant US soya company Purina.

Beta is a big selling complete dog foods in the UK, which must mean that it suits a lot of dogs, and yet it could never be listed in the top ten most natural foods on the pet shop shelves, containing as it does un-named cereals, meat derivatives, sugars, vegetable derivatives, colours, antioxidants and preservatives. Meat content is the absolute legal minimum, ditto anything else that is named in the product title.

Priced at just under £30 for a 15kg bag it begs to be compared with a more natural product, and when you do that it seems strange that it is so popular - possibly this is because of its strong presence in supermarkets and some very professional marketing from owners Purina (who in the US are a huge company majoring in soya production)

So there you have it, a standard dog food product which sells well despite the fact that it fails to tick almost any of the boxes that a lot of dog owners would consider necessary for a quality food selling at just under £30 for a 15kg bag.
