I don't understand because in some trays carrageenan is added and in others it isn't

My girl has been on this food for about 4 years. She loves it, and it's great on her stomach. She's on the senior Turkey and veg now, grain free. Delivery is always on time.

I don’t like the texture of this food, it’s too smooth and a bit sloppy. Also the carrageenan in the food doesn’t agree with my staffies digestion. It causes her to have stomach gurgles in the night and sloppy poos. Since switching to country hunter tins her digestion is much better.

The grain free turkey and chicken is excellent our lurcher loves it but only these flavours however, forthglade your customer service is awful we still have not received our delivery after three weeks and have run out. There has been no reply’to phone messages left with youand dhl think it came yesterday†¦Â£95 is a lot of money to lose

My boy loves this food. He gets it as a topping (1/2 pack a day) to his Eden kibble. He does very well on this combination. Of course, as some say here, not every food will agree with every dog. That’s Norma’s as dogs are all different. But that doesn’t make it a poor food as some seem to say here. I find this to be of excellent quality and it very much agrees with my boy.

I hate leaving negative reviews but my 15 year old yorkie hates this food .. both times she ate it and has been poorly it just doesn't agree with her. Its like a stodgy paste and smells off ., she threw up tonight after eating 1/4 tub and isn't herself at this moment.

It could be the duck my dog was the same and we had her tested and food out she is intolerant to duck and sweet potato, which seems to be in everything these days†¦ Also I find the just lamb smells very pungent but my dog likes it

Oh I've managed to copy and past their reply to me....... We use seaweed in all of our wet food recipes as way to naturally bind our ingredients together, and the seaweed we use does contain a small level of carrageenan. We’re aware that there’s been some discussion around carrageenan since a study by one individual was released a few years ago; the results of which have been found to be scientifically flawed and no other study has been able to replicate, but unfortunately there are many websites that have based their opinion of carrageenan on this one individual study, which of course creates concern and worry amongst dog owners. Sadly, some sources of information on the topic haven’t taken into account the further studies carried out and the findings which have found that carrageenan is completely safe to use in pet foods. †‹

Hope that helps

I asked the same question about the carrageenan on 7th July 2022 so very recently, I was told it does contain a small amount in their wet foods ..I'd post the reply if I knew how to !

I message forthglade and they told me there dog wet food does contain carrageenan
Ddools Buddy 2 years ago
When did they confirm their food does contain carrageenan, please? (They confirmed to me some years ago now that they did, but it seems from the message below that they removed that as an ingredient some time ago. I wonder if they know what they are talking about, or whether it's a question of porkie pies from them!)

Forthglade for my question about carrageenan :†We’re very pleased to say that whilst we have used carrageenan to help bind our ingredients in the past, due to customer feedback we removed this from our wet meals some time ago. We do still use seaweed in our meals, to help make our meals into a firm consistency which you can cut into chunks, however the seaweed blends we use consist of Rhodophyceae seaweed which is just carefully washed and dried with no chemicals or other extraction processes. This means there is no carrageenan in there whatsoever and whilst carrageenan is completely safe to use in both pet and human food, we wanted to make sure that our customers were 100% happy with our recipes.†

The lamb, beef & duck varieties of Forthglade Natural range contain chicken. They should not be appearing in the "Ingredients to Avoid" list when filtering out Chicken but they still appear and could be misleading for those dogs with allergies / intolerence to chicken.

Rob,
Could you let me know how why you believe that the other website has got the ingredients so wrong , surely if the other website has got the ingredients quite so wrong then it would give a complete false interpretation of a possible decent food.Especially as this website (all about dog food.co.uk) gives a direct link to it so that it can be directly purchased there.
Team AADF Julie 9 years ago
Hi Julie. I have double checked and the ingredients listed above are correct according to Forthglade. Those published on the Petshop.co.uk website are incorrect - I have informed them and they will make the correction asap. Many thanks for letting me know.

Ingredients
Meat and animal derivatives (Min 60% chicken, min 10% rice),
derivatives of vegetable origin, seaweed extract, herbs, minerals, vitamins,
Please can you tell why this food scores so high?
This was in the Product Description on another Website.. the Approved online Stockist, so when i put these ingredients in your Generator it gives a score of 2.9 yet yourselves score it 4.7 and i wondered why?

Excellent wet food. When I bought the Forthglade I phoned a local pet store. The chap I spoke to, basically 'trashed Forthglade big time' in every way and recommended a different product which I knew was inferior in lots of ways.I can provide details to Forthglade Foods Ltd. Wainrights 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 EXCELLENT food. Please see my review of Nutrivet Dry Complete.

My boy really loves this, it smells fab (like a pate), and it is great for his digestion too! Very impressed all round.
