ProBalance

A budget-tier value brand that's cheap per bag but built down to a price. Ingredient quality scores low on our index: the panels lean on grain and plant protein rather than named single-source meat, and sourcing detail is sparse. The low sticker is real, but cost-per-day narrows the gap to a better-specced premium bag more than the shelf price suggests.

ProBalance is a retailer-owned or house-promoted range, often keenly priced. Because it's stocked in fewer places, independent price comparison takes a little more work — compare on price per kg to find the best value.
