One of the most popular economy class brands is Dilly dog food. Its composition, dosage, reviews - they contribute to its popularity among owners who are not ready to spend a lot of money on feeding their dogs. Of course, some are confused that Dilly is made in Russia.
But there are no serious reasons to doubt domestic producers. So if you prefer economy class, be sure to take a closer look at this ready-made diet. Although first it is better to familiarize yourself with its features: lines and prices for them.
Who makes Dilly dog food?
The manufacturer of Dilli dog food is the closed joint-stock company “Aleyskzernoprodukt” named after S.N. Starovoitova. The company itself positions itself as a powerful grain processing complex with a full technological cycle. Its branches and production facilities are located in the Altai city of Aleysk.
The company has its own feed complex laboratory, where new recipes are developed. It was thanks to the work of this laboratory that “Aleyskzernoproduct” received an award for complete dog food at the international competition “Environmentally Safe Products” in 2015 in Moscow. But it is unpleasantly surprising that the manufacturer has not made any new achievements related to Dilly food over the past four years.
Now the opinion about Aleyskzernoprodukt is quite ambiguous - the company does not focus only on creating food for animals. Its products include semolina, pasta, oatmeal and other grocery products. This is what causes the high concentration of plant proteins in dog food.
Feed composition
The composition of the food is the very first thing that the owner of his pet pays attention to. Dry food - economy class.
The composition of Dilly dog food consists of two important components, which are found in each package, and secondary ones. Of course, the first component in its composition is grain:
- oats
- wheat
- rice cereal
- oatmeal
The second ingredient is beef goulash, chicken, liver, or fish. It also contains: wheat pulp, various vegetables such as carrots, beets; protein, protein sources and vitamin complex.
Metabolic energy 370 kcal per 100 grams of product. You need to store food from zero to 18 degrees.
Feed line
Dilly does not boast an impressive variety of feeds. Firstly, the brand does not provide distinct lines, they simply have food with different tastes and characteristics for dogs of different categories. Secondly, according to reviews from veterinarians, the composition of the ones listed is quite poor. By the way, it is worth noting the packaging that the manufacturing company uses. You can buy one, four, even 16 kilograms of one of the following diets:
- “Chicken Stew with Rice” for adult dogs.
- “Beef goulash with vegetables” for adult dogs.
- “Beef liver with oatmeal” for adult dogs.
- “For small breed dogs.”
- “For Active Adult Dogs” is a food with 14% more fat and 28% higher protein levels.
The food described above is suitable for the daily nutrition of dogs over one year of age. But the manufacturer himself does not recommend giving them to old, weakened, lactating or pregnant animals. Dilly also offers several types of puppy diets. Feeding them begins from the fourth week of a dog’s life:
- puppy food;
- food for large breed puppies.
Feed prices
The cost of feed is an important component. After all, not everyone can buy expensive food. Dilly food is not expensive.
The price of Dilly dry food varies, it all depends on the region. To be more precise, the cost of one kilogram is about 160-170 rubles, 4 kilograms - 470-480 rubles, 16 kg approximately 1200-1300.

What is included in Dilly dog food?
Among Dilley's serious shortcomings is the lack of information about the exact proportions of the components. Even on the official website of “Aleyskzernoproduct” only the maximum proportions of components are written. But it’s really possible to highlight those that are often used in the creation of dog food. In the first place are cereals: rice groats, oatmeal, corn, wheat germ and mature wheat. This is bad, because a dog needs animal protein, not plant protein.
The second one lists the meat component. But its quality leaves much to be desired. During production, animal feed meat flour is used. That is, it is impossible to say for sure how much meat is included and how much is skin, bones, crushed horns and hooves. Less significant elements of Dilly dry food include:
- Soybean meal.
- Sunflower oil.
- Corn gluten.
- Animal fats.
- Vitamin complexes A, E, D3, K3, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B12, H.
- Iron, magnesium, zinc, copper and other trace elements.
- Preservatives and antioxidants approved for use in the Russian Federation.

The research results have convincingly shown that Dilly food is eaten with great appetite by both dogs that were previously fed “homemade food” and those that are accustomed to dry food from well-known transnational brands.
Beef is the main source of amino acids that are valuable and essential for dogs—elements for building proteins, from which the main tissues of the animal’s body are formed, especially muscles, nerves, and bones.
Vegetables contain essential vitamins, and are especially useful for carnivores due to their fiber, which stimulates the dog’s digestion process and intestinal motility. Beet pulp, which is specially included in the new Dilly food to ensure normal digestion of dogs, is especially valuable for its beneficial fiber - pectins.
