Wainwrights Turkey and Rice Puppy Food -

We were feeding our pup on TAILS dog food and thought we would give this a go instead. Poor pup had terrible stinking farts and runny poo constantly. This food is a welfare concern and should be taken off the market!

I bought this for my GSD puppy after her first brand food increased their prices by a lot of money. The first food was brilliant, giving her an amazing start with good physical growth and a beautiful coat admired by our vets with safe solid poo. After about a third of the large bag of Wainwright's puppy food I have found that my dogs lovely soft coat is becoming harsh and dry. More importantly her poo has increased with her passing more than 4 times a day and is sloppy. I will definitely have to go back to my beautiful pups original food even though it costs a lot more than this Wainwright's !!

So I've very recently switched to wainrights puppy salmon dry mix for my girl as she has an extremely sensitive stomach, she's a 7 month old husky and is very sensitive to food she's fed with, I finally believe we've found a food she can eat and enjoy without the stomach issues that follow and even more she doesn't leave a single bite in her bowl for my older dog to take anymore. Thank you so much for creating this food that's perfect for my puppy

Wainrights food made our puppy do the smelliest farts, and all of his poos were quite wet. We had no idea what was causing it, but, after a recommendation from a friend, we tried switching his food to something else. This has completely sorted the problem! Not sure what's in this food, but a few puppies at our class have had the same issues with Wainrights

Hi the packaging states 2-18 months but the lady in pets at home said we could soak this with water and feed our 3 weeks old puppies is this correct?

Hi Zoe, as a general rule you really shouldn't start weaning puppies until their 4th week. Take a look at our guide here: https://www.allaboutdogfood...

My puppy has wolfed down your food for the last year. This week he’s turned down lamb and salmon. I note from the comments below that the formulation has changed - it looks like we’ve got an unhappy customer...

Our Cockapoo puppy has had your food since we had him a year ago. He’s always wolfed it down. This week he’s turned down both the lamb and salmon versions. I notice the 2 comments below and have realised that the composition of the food has changed.
Looks like we’ve got an unhappy customer.

We have been feeding our Working Cocker spaniel Wainwrights from the breeder recommendation. No problems until recently. The composition has changed and seems to contain more cereals. Herbie has now had an upset tummy and are looking for a change.

Believe that Wainwright’s food has recently changed composition. Now seems to have more oats than before. Our 6 month Working Cocker was started with tummy problems.

Weening our 8 week golden retriever off of Puppy Burns and introducing Wainwrights. She is taking to it very well and we can see a definite preference as she eats the Wainwrights kibble first before touching the Burns. Her stomach is handling the transition very well too. I am happy we chose to go with this brand and will continue using.

One of my puppies has an incredibly sensitive stomach. Tried Royal Canine and other 'premium' brands, but all irritated her belly. Some googling highlighted Wainwrights as a potential solution - within a day she was back to 100%. I've switched both of my girls to it. The Salmon and Potato is a particular favorite, and keeps my darlings fit, healthy and full. Vet is overjoyed with the progress made since switching and can't believe that a 'own-brand' can be so good.P.S. A friend used to feed his dogs James Wellbeloved - after seeing my girls eating their Wainwrights, he's adamant that they're the exact same stuff. I've never fed mine JW stuffs, but the fact that he even thinks they're comparable is good enough for me.

yes, I have found this dry puppy food to be excellent for our Lhasa apso (7 mths ) he just loves it. He is healthy & active & its easy to clean up in the garden after he poops. (no loose stools ) I mix it with wainrights trays of turkey & rice twice a day. I would recommend this.

Absolutely fantastic food. Moved my French Bulldog onto this after having upset tummies on Eden. I just swapped straight over as the other food was making him sick all the time and immediately the sickness and sloppy stools disappeared. He is now a year old and on the adult food. I have no intention of moving him away from Wainwrights. 5 star food. Can personally recommend the Salmon and Potato. :)

My Phalene pup loves this, cleans her bowl every time. Very happy giving her this, no bad breath and no loose stools.
