Mixing bowl composition
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.
For more information on any ingredient, please take a look at our Dog Food Ingredient Glossary
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.

65 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".
The most common categories of technological additives include preservatives and antioxidants, gelling agents and thickeners and probiotics.
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.

This has been the best food for our labrador, Oakley. He has quite a few intolerances so we do have to be careful what we feed him. After an allergy & intolerance test I did a lot of research & found that most dog foods don’t actually state the ingredients properly. So that’s why we tried Millie’s & It sorted his stumach right out right away

This food is great, however it causes extreme thirst. After researching I believe it to be due to the lovage powder. Apparently millies are taking it out of their foods, as many people have queried it as listed as toxic. I will then continue to use it.

I find this food very good value as I have 6 dogs however I was wondering if anyone else has noticed the following. I have an idiot flat coat eats this food fine poop amazing BUT he drinks like he’s not had any water for days. It was so bad took him to vet who couldn’t find any reason was starting to think diabetes insipidus. In a fit of desperation after a year of this behaviour (literally 8 litres a day ) so that he couldn’t be left for longer than an hour or he would pee in doors. His pee looked like water.... I switched him to raw natural instinct and BAM within 24 hrs completely reversed . His drinking has completely stopped. I’m at a loss to explain this there was no obvious signs of intolerances solid poop no wind great weight in fact perfect ..apart from the drinking. Even pre soaking kibble made no difference nor did switching to the duck and veg or countryside mix. I’m totally at a loss to explain and tbh gutted as I really liked this food.

I have raw fed my dog for 3 years. She was weaned onto raw. I recently found out she has severe allergies to every single protein. I was recommended MW by a friend. I thought I’d give it ago. 4 days into transitioning her allergies started cleaning up. In fact, almost gone. It took less than a week to have her fully on the dry food. She looks 1000x better. Just need her hair to grow back. But no more scabs. No more itching.I love the variety and different percentages they do. Delivery is fantastic too! Would highly recommend to anyone!
