We fed our dog this food for a couple of years. Early part of 2023 it suddenly started going right through him. Nursed him back on bland diet and tried him back on this about 3 times. Each time just a touch of this food cleared him out. Ended up taking the large multipack back to the store to ask for a refund which thankfully they did.

They've changed their recipes, increased prices almost 50%, and are getting hammered with reviews. I've switched to Lovejoys trays until they sort themselves out.

What has Wainwright done to its variety pack with brown rice & vegetables recipe?
They announced that they were improving their recipe a few months ago, which they did along with increasing the price per box.
I have been feeding my 11 year old Cocker Spaniel on a mixture of wet and their dry foods for most of his life. However since the improvement to the recipe of the wet food, many of the trays are pure slop! When trying to cut the food into bit size pieces, the food purely sticks to anything it touches and resemble wall paper paste. My dog now has to be persuaded to eat it and often prefers to go hungry rather eat this s**t.
Can anyone recommend a quality grain free dog food that we can use instead?

Tried my Welsh Springer Spaniel on the Wainwrights wet food trays grain free variety pack. She had the Turkey one. 20 minutes later her face swelled up, left eyelid and nose, she was trying to itch her face and then became lethargic. We rushed her to the out of hours vet and had to pay £230, for an emergency injection and consultation. The food will be returned or binned and we are writing a complaint letter to Wainwrights requesting the vets bill to be paid. I DO NOT ADVISE BUYING THIS FOOD!Â

Having been giving my 2 long haired dachshunds wainwrights trays for a while now, but was concerned when the last box I bought, nearly all the trays of meat had pieces of bone in them, after picking numerous pieces out, I was concerned about giving it to my dogs as some of the bones were quite sharp, hopefully I got them all, has any one else found bones please? Also sometimes their poops seemed very dry and chalky, and have trouble passing them, didn't know if they had changed the recipe, I am currently reviewing other wet foods for them, any recommendations welcome please?

Hi Katie, having dry and chalky poo shows how good the quality food is. Dogs should produce poos like that. All my dogs are on a raw diet and their poos are the same, dry and chalky.Putting it simply, dogs in the wild can't cook and they don't go in to a field and start eating crops because they can't digest them and there is nothing of nutritional value in it either. The grains in food is a cheap way to bulk up the food for manufmanufacturers but does the dogs no good.The less rubbish that they consume, the less rubbish comes out the other end. It will also have less odour and the hard chalky consistency naturally squeezes their anal glands keeping everything in order naturally. Natural foods, ie, 80% meat and 20% veg/fruit, is what they are designed to eat, not rice or grains etc. Those ingredients, along with other non essential additives are the culprits for allergies, volumous and smelly poos, flatulence and has an effect on their general behaviour too. (Akin to kids eating blue Smarties.)You can tell how healthy a dogs diet is by the colour, odour, volume and consistency of the poo. Hard and chalky is what every dog needs.What I would say is that the bone present isnt good because it's been cooked, if it were raw it would be fine. I'd continue to pick it out and either grind and then put back, or replace with 1 x crushed/ground egg she'll instead. The calcium from both/either are essential.I hope this is useful. You can always add a teaspoon of fish oil or omega 3 oil to help your dog pass a stool. Good luck.

Asking on behalf of a friend - she has a 3 year old female spayed Chihuahua that weighs 5.2 kg, it's not a tiny little dog but a larger boned chi, (they come in all shapes and sizes lol) the vet has said it is overweight however vet also said that when she was overweight at 3.0 kgs! My friend is currently feeding 100g of either Wainwrights grain free or wet (quarter of a tray) just once a day only and the dog is constantly looking for food and crying for food. I have recommended splitting the food into two so that she has two feeds a day to sustain her but would be grateful if any member on here could give me guidance as to how to advise her please

It's probably a bit too late but I thought I would reply. I have a half chihuahua who is definitely built like one and very fine boned. She weighs 4.8kg which is perfect weight for her, I can feel her ribs easily and she has a taut tummy. On the Wainwrights Grain free dry she eats 60g which lasts her two days. She gets no wet food and her treats are dried sprats.If the vet says your friends dog is overweight then I would be inclined to believe it since Owners see their pets everyday and don't notice that their pet is fat. Get another opinion maybe from a Nurse who has the time (and won't charge for their advice).Try splitting the feed into 2 or 3 meals and use a maze feeder to slow the dog down when eating so it has more time to hit the stomach. It may also be an idea if she is stilling crying for food to change the food to a higher protein content but do this as a last resort as changing foods can cause digestive upsets. If giving treats make her work for them by using a kong or some other toy that dispenses treats and use treats like fish skins or whole protein dried meats.

I've noticed the exact same. The 'output' just doesn't look very healthy now at all, it's very chalky. My dog has also really gone off this food lately (only eating a small amount about once every three days!) so I'm thinking that something probably has changed? I am currently looking for an alternative but there is so much choice I can't decide what to go for.

I had the same problem, been looking at different foods for ages. I've just got some Wolf of Wilderness tins from Zooplus, ordered a multipack so could try all the flavours and it seems to be going down well. It looks much nicer than the Wainwrights and no chalky poos!

I changed my 3 Jack Russells on to this 3 weeks ago and I am thrilled with the results. One of my dogs had terrible toilet issues (IBS/colitis) and after a couple of days on this food I was so impressed when he did his number 2 I almost took a picture of it!! He is so much happer as am I :) My female JR has issues with her skin and she has now started to scratch a lot less. They absolutely love it too and I have tried my share of dog foods with them. Their coats are very shiny and they seem a lot happier. Wish I had changed their diet sooner.

My dog has always been fed a mixed diet of wet and dry foods because she is a rather fussy eater.Unfortunately, she has suffered from dozens (and I REALLY mean dozens) of bouts of colitis over the last five years or so, and despite countless visits to the vets (and far too many repeat antibiotic prescriptions to mention), nothing has been able to keep her stools solid for more than a few weeks at a time. The vet never once mentioned that wheat could be a problem in any of these visits and I feel seriously annoyed about this.A few months ago, there was a TV documentary about pet foods and it highlighted that practically all main and complimentary dog foods contain wheat in one form or another, and that colitis is often attributed to the high wheat content found in most dog foods. The next day, I looked at the labelling of loads of dog foods in the local Tesco and was shocked to see that all the mainstream manufacturers listed foremost was: moisture, ash, and oil as the ingredients. It is supposed to be meat, so where the hell is the meat and where did it come from? In dismay, I went to a 'proper' pet store and bought a box of Wainright's assorted flavours wet food and a bag of their grain-free dry food.Roll on abut 5 months now on the same diet and the colitis issue has not been an problem since, which is somewhat of a record. She no longer seems to have stomach gripes, and on walks, it is a pleasure to pick up dog poo (like you do with in a bag) and kind of admire a brown solid mass, not a load of mush covered in disgusting green slime.Honestly, I cannot recommend Wainright's highly enough because their food has made such a difference to my dog's life. I've recommended it to three other people so far, and although their dogs have never suffered from colitis, they don't have any problems with leftovers.

Excellent wet food. I bought Forthglade (excellent food) first. I then switched to Wainrights it has a slight edge ( for my 2 dogs ) over Forthglade. Wainrights is also slightly cheaper for me to buy online from Pets at Home. None the less they are both EXCELLENT food. Please see my review of Nutrivet Dry Complete.

I usually feed my dogs Wainwrights reduced fat turkey with rice as my bitch has Addison's disease and gets on better with a lower fat diet. This food is only 4% fat which is ok and I was really impressed with the quality of the ingredients - especially the vegetables (sweet potatoes, peas and carrots) and the meat content which must be providing extra goodness. I have only been feeding it for a week but have already noticed much shinier coats (hope it's not my imagination) and my dogs absolutely love it. So far so good but would be even happier if they produced one for older dogs as my two are over 7 now and this one is supposed to be for dogs between 1 and 7.

Suitable for all breeds of dogs
Private label (or white label) pet foods are pre-formulated recipes that companies can order from certain factories, add their own label or packaging and retail to the public as their own brand. They are therefore available from numerous suppliers. Click here for more info.
In general, unless your dog has health issues, you probably won't have to worry about these figures. Click here for more information
This is the ingredients list as printed on the packaging or manufacturer's website.
Think of the 'mixing bowl' composition like a recipe - all the ingredients you would need to put in a 'mixing bowl' in order to make the food.
Ingredients have to be listed in descending order of their weight so the higher it appears, the more there is.
Highlighted ingredients
Ingredients that we believe to be controversial or inferior are highlighted in yellow with particularly low grade, highly contentious or excessively vague ingredients in red.
As fed composition
While the 'mixing bowl' composition is useful for knowing what went into the food, it doesn't always reflect what your dog is actually eating. This is because the processes that turn the ingredients into the finished pet food can significantly alter the relative weights of the ingredients.
For this reason we've calculated the approximate 'as fed' percentages for the main ingredient categories in the finished product.
Please note that these figures are very approximate. They are estimates based on the information provided by the manufacturer in the ingredients list so the clearer the terminology and the more percentages they provide, the more accurate our estimates will be. Wherever information is lacking, we always assume the worst.
Ingredient categories
◉ Meat ingredients: includes all meat and fish ingredients except isolated fats/oils.
◉Added oils and fats: includes all isolated oil and fat ingredients.
◉ Carb-rich ingredients: includes all ingredients derived from grains, pseudo-grains, potatoes and other starchy root vegetables, sweet potato and legumes (except whole peas which are categorised under fruit and veg) except for isolated protein and extracted oils. Also includes fibre supplements.
◉ Fruit and veg: includes all whole vegetables and fruits.
◉ Other: all other ingredients. Mostly made up by nutritional supplements and additives.
The dry matter level of a nutrient is the percentage there would be in the food if all of the water was removed.
With water taken out of the equation, these figures allow the nutrient levels of foods of different types (like wet and dry) to be compared on an even playing field.
In general, unless your dog has health issues, you probably won't have to worry about these figures. Click here for more information
The price per day of feeding this food based on feeding the manufacturer's recommended daily amount from 395g trays bought at their rrp to a dog of:
kg
Go!
Note: All suggested feeding amounts and costs are only approximate and may vary considerably from dog to dog. Be sure to contact the manufacturer if in any doubt.
79 out of 100 - Good
Our unique product ratings are calculated based on a number of characteristics including the quality and quantity of the stated ingredients, certain nutritional and technological additives and the processing methods used to create the food. They are designed to indicate how beneficial we think a food is likely to be for the majority of dogs when fed on a daily basis for an extended period. Click here for more information
Country of origin: United Kingdom
A technological additive is any substance added to a pet food "for a technological purpose and which favourably affects the characteristics of feed".
While the primary effects of technoloical additives are certainly 'favourable' (increased shelf life in the case of preservatives & antioxidants, better food texture and consistency in the case of gelling agents and thickeners etc.) some have been linked to health problems in pets and should be treated with caution.
Unfortunately, many technological additives do not have to be declared by the manufacturer so just because they do not appear on the label does not necessarily mean they are not in the food. If in doubt, ask the manufacturer directly exactly what technological additives their foods contain.
