And to add insult to injury it doesn't actually contain anything other than offcuts.
While top of the range dog food is a lot more expensive (e.g. around $100/12-15kg, Canidea, Earthborn Holistic Primitive Natural etc.), there are those that offer better value and are actually still not too bad for your dog (e.g. Blackhawk $100/20kg, Costco's Nature's Domain range $49/15kg).

p/s: You also feed your dog more of cheap dog food than premium ones, so the comparison is not direct. For example for a 3 month old 5kg puppy, you'd be feeding 85g of Pedigree vs 55g of Earthborn)

The Big W price on this Pedigree Pal is excellent.
My dogs do just fine with a big "base" of Pedigree Pal (or similar) dry dog food, that I then enrich with varying additional things. Sometimes chicken necks or hearts, sometimes other meat off-cuts, today was a cheese omelette with vegetables. Sometimes a can of tuna. Human food leftovers are a doggie favourite. 75% dry dog food, 25% add-ins.
Please don't tell me you include onions in those vegetables….
of course no onions!
