There is a wide array of vitamins and fats which are essential to a dog's health. Although rice and meat will allow you dog enough nutrition to live, it will not give them the same amazing sheen on their coat which shows good health. Similarly, any wet dog food is approx 80-90% WATER. These kinds of wet food promote poor gum and tooth health and the animal will get nowhere near enough nutrition for a good health life. There is an enormous difference between the cheap (coles brand, chum, pedigree) and the premium (eukanuba, pro plan, hills etc), so to say otherwise is rediculous. You are basing this on whether or not the animal will live, not if they will be as healthy as they can be. If you cannot afford the premium food for your animal, you probably shouldn't own a pet. They deserve a quality of food (which doesnt mean that my dog stuff either) and a quality of life. /end rant While making this food may seem like a great idea, you simply do not get the same content as what is offered in the premium dog foods.
