In general, unless your dog has health issues, you probably won't have to worry about these figures. Click here for more information
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.

82 out of 100 - Excellent
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.

Nearly All dog food contains poultry fat. So annoying as my dog is allergic to chicken
It is becoming increasingly difficult to buy dog food without poultry fat. Why do the manufacturers insist on putting it in all their brands?? Even when you think you are buying turkey and vegetables you read the ingredients on the back and it says poultry fat

Hi,
We are looking to change our dog to an 80/20 kibble and would like to give this a try but our boy is allergic to chicken, are there going to be any other flavour options in the future?
HJ Bond• 17 days ago
Looked at the ingredient list and am immediately put off by chicken and chicken fat.
My vet is quite adamant that chicken particularly chicken fat is not good. Plus it’s almost impossible to get a dry dog food without chicken and/or fat in it. Hence there are many dogs who are intolerant of chicken. I feed raw and never order food where chicken is an ingredient.

They said on social media a while back they were going to be releasing a single source non chicken protein, I've not seen it yet.

I began changing my 14 month old pointers diet in September. We began with a gradual introduction of Wolfworthy to achieve a 50:50 mix with her previous food Harringtons over 2vweeks. I followed the guidelines and gave her weighed amounts in correct proportion for herbi, my aim to improve the quality of her diet on a budget. However after a month she started to look thin and had a very high energy level. Our pet shop said this would be the carbohydrate in the cheaper food, so I gradually increased the WW proportion and also fed for a weight 8 kg above her normal weight. She is still looking painfully thin, has massive appetite and energy. She now poos 4 times a day with "normal" looking stools. I don't know what to do now, as this doesn't feel right. Advise please

Does this food contain bone? I have emailed you and got no reply. When on raw my dogs poop is great but they are constantly hungry wanted to swap to your food but the bone is what keeps their poop firm
WolfworthyDE
Rachel Bentham• one month ago
Hi Rachel,
I am sorry to hear you did not get a response to your email. We do not add bone as a separate ingredient, but there is bone found naturally occurring in the meat and fish we use. Our calcium content is 1.3%.
Please let me know if there is anything else we can help with.
Titch• one month ago
Hi, I have a toy poodle has a sensitive stomach will this food suit her and how much should she be given she is a little underweight at just over 4 kg. Thank you
megasonic 2.0
Titch• one month ago
Are you sure she is underweight as most toys are under 4kg.
WolfworthyDE
Titch• one month ago
Hi Titch,
As with any food, it is important to get the feeding amount right for your dogs age and weight. I am assuming she is an adult (over 12 months and under 7 years) if so, she will need between 50g - 66g per day, split over two meals.
We always recommend starting at the low end of the range to begin with. Most owners find their dog is happiest here whereas working dogs or dogs doing a very high amount of exercise may need a bit more.
The recommended feeding amount is based on the idea that your dog is at a healthy weight and is only eating Wolfworthy. If your dog needs to lose/gain weight, then please let us know their ideal weight. If you use any other food e.g. chews, training treats, human food or dental sticks the Wolfworthy may need to be reduced to compensate for the extra calories being eaten.
DizzyJ• 2 months ago

DizzyJ• one month ago
Hi, thanks for your interest in Wolfworthy. Just as long as the feeding amount is right for your dogs age and weight, then a Wolfworthy poo will be similar to a raw fed poo, small and firm. If you would like any help with the feeding amount, please let me know.
Alternatively, we do have a feeding calculator. Simply enter your dogs age, weight and expected adult weight: https://wolfworthy.co.uk/pages/feeding-calculator?product=wolfworthy

RE. For all Life stages Pup Adult and Senior
All of the Senior dog foods I have seen have protein levels between 10% to 20% and a lighter diet seems the way to go in this senior market.
I note Wolfworthy is Protein (36%) and very rich in fats etc
The question is who approved the food For Senior dogs?
and if itsApproved by Vets who are the vets that approved it please?

Hi,
Thanks for your question. We follow FEDIAF (European pet food standards) guidelines to ensure our food has all the nutrients, vitamins and minerals that your dog needs to lead a healthy life whatever stage of life they are in.

Recently made the switch to Wolfworthy after trying so many foods with my fussy dachshund - both dry and wet - and she will bite my arm off for this. Don't even have to try and tempt her with salmon oil or anything. She's always been selective and often unmotivated by food, but this seems to have gone down well.

Have a 12 month old cocker. Concerned about high level of protein in this food and whether it can cause dog to be overactive/hyper. Anyone experienced this with a cocker on this food? Thanks
WolfworthyDE
Bettyboo• one month ago
Hi, thanks for your interest is Wolfworthy.
We do understand your concerns. Hyperactivity in dogs has numerous potential motivators but a link between high levels of good quality, highly digestible protein in a dog’s diet and true hyperactivity has not been proven.
At Wolfworthy, we use human grade meat and fish in our recipe, which are super easy for your dog to process.

I have a 2yo working cocker and tried (and wanted to love) Wolfworthy but unfortunately it was too rich for my pup. I have actually moved him onto a salmon based kibble which he is responding to much better.

Where Is this food made?
At what factory?
Having no customer service telephone number is annoying
Can't you open one up
WolfworthyDE
seasicksteve • 2 months ago
We are proud to say our food is made in the UK where the highest standards during production are extremely important. Being eco-friendly is important to us, by making our food in the UK it means we keep transportation low.
Freshly prepared is the term we use to describe the finest human-grade quality meat and fish that are delivered to our site chilled, by our own refrigerated transport to maintain the highest quality conditions. In our on-site meat kitchen, we gently cook each meat at circa 82ºC (180ºF) to both protect the proteins and ensure maximum digestibility and nutritional value to the dog. This is a temperature that allows us to kill harmful bacteria (Salmonella, E-coli and Campylobacter) and preserve as much of the natural goodness as possible

Hi Federica - I put a bit of boiled water over the kibble and give it a swoosh round to cool. It makes a light, watery gravy which my pup loves. She was turning her nose up when it was just the dry. Bonus - it's free :-)

My 4 yr old black lab has severe allergies and we recently switched to Wolfworth because it was one of only a few kibbles which did not contain anything he is allergic to. Although he really likes the food and it seems to suit his sensitive stomach he has been covered in dandruff ever since we switched. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

ELiza• 7 months ago
How can you advertise this as 80/20?
It has 65% meat, 4% fruit and veg and it's suppose to be free from grains, rice and wheat etc but it has 20% carbs.
As a pet nutritionist I find this unacceptable for our pets health and their owners
P J Stone
ELiza• 7 months ago
How would you label it?
WolfworthyDE
ELiza• 7 months ago
Hi Eliza, Wolfworthy is an 80/20 food and does not contain any grains or legumes. The carbohydrates come from the sweet potato.
This is formulated by our nutritionist and follows FEDIAF guidelines for a complete food. Do let me know if you have any questions.

Hi I am stuck choosing between Wolfworthy or Butternut Box ... can you tell me why I should choose yours over Butternut Box? Also am considering mixing both... is there any reason why this would not be good idea?
WolfworthyDE
Cat31Hark• 8 months ago
Hi, We have lots of customers who choose to mix our food with something else, it is completely fine to do this. The most important thing is to get the feeding amount of each food correct so your dog still gets 100% of its nutritional requirements.
Here is a link that shows you how to do this so your dog isn’t over or underfed.

I fed my dog this food for the first time yesterday and it gave him violent diarrhoea. He normally eats raw food.
Liam Stuckey
Jean Rogers• 9 months ago
Did you gradually change the food over? When I spoke to a vet nurse they told me raw raises the pH level in a dogs Stomach Acid to the point where if we feed them kibble they don't properly digest it, so it just passes through them quicker without all the nutrients being absorbed.
WolfworthyDE
Jean Rogers• 8 months ago
Hi Jean, we are very sorry to hear this. This could have been due to slightly too much food or transitioning too quickly. If you would like any further help with this, please send us a message to support@wolfworthy.co.uk with your dogs age and weight.
Lesley R
WolfworthyDE• 3 months ago
Hi. Just wondering about transitioning. I read on your website that you can feed raw alongside Wolfworthy if this is the case why the need to transition. I currently feed raw. But want to try to change to Wolfworthy. I have used kibble in the past when we have gone away for say a weekend, and apart from larger smellier poo, not had an issue. As a lot of research shows that you don’t need to transition between raw and kibble but should never feed both in one meal due to bacteria/digestion rates.
Guer rila
Lesley R• 29 days ago
Nonsense about not having to transition: gut biome needs time to adapt. Also think you misunderstand something about not feeding raw and kibble together: even different components of same food are digested at different rates, so what would that matter? And how can there be more bacteria in combined raw and kibble than in them separately?
Ruth Higgins
Guer rila• 26 days ago
I think Lesley R means gut bacteria in the same sense as you using gut biome? And I'm sure the TYPE of kibble makes a difference.
A " normal" kibble is made up of mostly high carb, usually grain, fillers as compared to a kibble that is mostly meat and veg. Of course the gut biome will need time to transition in that case. A high carb diet us completely different to a raw diet.

Sandra Ward• 10 months ago
Is this food good for dogs with itchy skin ?
WolfworthyDE
Sandra Ward• 10 months ago
Hi Sandra,
It really depends on what is causing the itching. Wolfworthy is hypoallergenic and therefore does not contain any of the ingredients which commonly cause allergic reactions (wheat, maize, dairy products, soya products and artificial additives). Has your vet said what is causing the itching?
Ruth Higgins
WolfworthyDE• 26 days ago
Is the chicken used in your food grain fed or truly free range? Since wheat and maize are commonly used to feed chickens, and the reason dogs can have intolerance to chicken.
LudoIsa• 10 months ago

Is Wolfworthy a good alternative to Butternut box? Butternut box are pouches of cooked food that need to be kept frozen and defrosted before use.

He is 11 years old
Nikki
HJK01• 11 months ago
I would stick with butternut box and use forthglade wet trays when you go away as they're the next best thing
WolfworthyDE
HJK01• 10 months ago
Hi, so sorry for the delayed reply. Wolfworthy is made from the highest quality ingredients, which is why it is one of the highest-rated grain-free, legume-free foods available. It has many of the health benefits of a raw food diet, such as better skin & coat condition, smaller firmer poos, healthier weight, fewer allergies & intolerances, reduction in joint inflammation and stable energy levels; but without the hassle of cold storage, remembering to defrost, long prep times, clean up or worry when travelling.
It is also excellent for senior dogs as we include Chrondroitin and Glucosamine for joint care and use Salmon Oil in our recipe. Why not try him on a small bag and see how he goes. We have excellent feeding guides over on our website to help get you started :)
P Carre• one year ago
Good Morning, we've just adopted a 13 month border collie. When last seen by a vet his weight was given as 18kg. I suspect he weighs less, however his coat is shiny and he was fed good quality food, he looks thin and very bony (will have him weighed when we've registered with a vet). I suspect that his muscle mass is quite low because he hasn't had much exercise. I would like to move away from the 'fresh frozen food' he was on, and to increase his weight a little bit. I wonder if you could suggest how much of your food I should give him?He's fed after his walk in the morning about 9am and again around 6pm after his afternoon outing. He does get quite a few treats chews etc throughout the day while we are training him.
WolfworthyDE
P Carre• one year ago
Hi, thanks for your interest in Wolfworthy.
For adult dogs, the amount you feed is based on their weight. An 18kg dog will need between 152g-203g per day, however, once he is weighed again this may change so here is our feeding guide: https://wolfworthy.co.uk/pages/adult-dog-feeding-guide
We always recommend starting at the low end of the range to begin with. Most owners find their dog is happiest here whereas working dogs or dogs doing a very high amount of exercise may need a bit more.
The recommended feeding amount is based on the idea that your dog is only eating Wolfworthy. If you use any other food e.g. chews, training treats, human food or dental sticks the Wolfworthy may need to be reduced to compensate for the extra calories being eaten. Any questions, please let me know :)
Ruth Higgins
P Carre• 26 days ago
I've owned border Collies. They are often thin and scrawny looking until around 3 yrs old when the hyperactivity slows a little!
Be careful how many treats you feed and make sure they are nutritious but low calorie. Any dog will remain healthier at slightly below the body condition most think of as "normal". That means that you can very easily feel his ribs under his skin, and he has an obvious "waist". There are charts online to show what I mean if you type in "dog body condition chart".
As a groomer I see MANY overweight dogs and the stiffness and pain it causes to them prematurely.
Please keep your boy slightly under the perceived "normal".
I've never lost one under 17 yrs old by keeping them slim. Though I've groomed others who died by 11yo. All overweight.
Going from weight alone is deceiving as that is only a "range" or average weight. Every dog is different and slightly underweight is far better than overweight at all.
Oh, and steer clear of dentastix and the like. They do not clean teeth and are just the equivalent of doughnuts for dogs. High calorie rubbish.
Sorry, got on my high horse there! But I daily see the effects of overweight on my lovely client dogs and watch them decline when owners won't listen.
Walks become shorter and more painful, but the diet ( particularly treats) do not decrease and it becomes a vicious circle. Less walks, more weight put on, more pain so less walks......you get the idea😪

Hi Steven, thanks for your interest in Wolfworthy. I am assuming your dog is an adult (over 12 months and under 7 years)? If so, they will need between 278g-370g per day, split over two meals. We always recommend starting at the low end of the range to begin with. Most owners find their dog is happiest here whereas working dogs or dogs doing a very high amount of exercise may need a bit more.

I switched my 5 year old rescued lurcher on to this a few weeks ago and transitioned gradually as advised. Unfortunately her poo has become very soft since she has been on it and despite splitting her daily allowance into 2 meals it isn’t improving. I really like the food and she loves it but I’m starting to think it doesn’t agree with her. Do you have any advice?
WolfworthyDE

Hi Annke, we sorry to hear your dog is experiencing some issues. Soft poo can be caused by a few reasons, however the most common is slightly too much food. We are more than happy to do a feeding check, can you either reply here, or for a faster response, send us a message to support@wolfworthy.co.uk with the following details:

My message bounced back, so I’ll give you details here:
Spayed female Saluki lurcher
Rescue so not exactly sure of her age but approx 6
She weighs 20kg
I give her 225g split between 2 meals
She has nothing else at the moment as I’ve been eliminating anything that might have upset her tummy, so all she has are the 2 Wolfworthy meals.
I have a feeling the fat content is too much for her.
WolfworthyDE
Annke• one year ago
Hi, so sorry for the delayed reply. At 20kg, your dog will need between 165g-220g per day, split over two meals, ideally 8 hours apart.
We recommend starting on the lowest amount and find most dogs are happiest here. This would be 165g per day, so start to reduce what she is having, monitoring her for a couple of days between each reduction. You should start to see an improvement fairly quickly. I do hope this helps :)

I'm looking for a food that's not too processed for a poodle with stomach issues, can't seem to find a food that totally suits him,he's healthy 10 months old
WolfworthyDE
Jemck • one year ago
Hi, freshly prepared is the term we use to describe the finest human grade quality meat and fish ingredients that are delivered to our site chilled, by our own refrigerated transport to maintain the highest quality conditions. In our on-site meat kitchen, we gently cook each meat at circa 82ºC (180ºF) to both protect the proteins and ensure maximum digestibility and nutritional value to the dog. This is a temperature that allows us to kill harmful bacteria (Salmonella, E-coli and Campylobacter) and preserve as much of the natural goodness as possible.
We are very proud that we do not add any artificial colours or preservatives.
Can I ask what stomach issues your poodle is expereincing?
Kayandhounds• one year ago
Why is the sweet potato content so high?
WolfworthyDE
Kayandhounds• one year ago
Hi, Wolfworthy is an 80/20 food so contains 80% protein, and 20% fruit and veg some of that being sweet potato which is an excellent source of Vitamin A and is slow release, so no spikes in energy levels which you would get from white potato. It is also completely grain and legume free so no cheap fillers.

Have just tried the sample with our v.fussy greyhound and she loved it so will start the subscription with the hope it continues. Assume I can add topper(homecooked ckn and veg)?

Hi Sarah, we are so pleased to hear your greyhound enjoyed her sample. You can add a topper, however the amount of Wolfworthy may need to be reduced to ensure your dog isn't overfed.

My miniature schnauzer is 12 years old and has been diagnosed with liver problems which means a low fat diet .Is there a suitable wolfworthy kibble available ?
WolfworthyDE
Daisymaisy • one year ago
Hi, we are sorry to hear about your dog. We only have the one flavour at the moment, which is our 80/20 food and it is not low fat I'm afraid. We are working super hard on some new flavours though, one of which will be lower in fat, and we hope to be able to offer updates on this later in the year. I know this does not help you now, so we hope that you find something suitable for them.

I have been feeding my Chiweenie (chihuahua x mini dachshund) Wolfworthy for at least 3 years, and she absolutely loves it. I give her Orijen puppy (as she is very active and I don’t want her to lose weight) with this in her feeder toy which is out all day (as small dogs can get low blood sugar so grazing is better for them) and she is still, after 3 years, loving her food. In fact, after 10 days of fresh chicken and lamb due to some dental treatment (descaling from before we rescued her) I was really worried that she would refuse her normal food. I mean, what dog would want to go back to kibble after all that meat? Well she did, and happily…phew! Just shows how yum this food is…
After rescuing her and weaning her off the crappo pedigree chum they were feeding her, her coat got so silky soft, her poo is firm and easy to pick up, she has TONS of energy and is just really healthy overall.
I highly recommend Wolfworthy!

Hi
I have a 10 year old GSDn who has been on a raw diet since birth . He is 66kgs ( yes 66!! ) but is not overweight just very large boned and probably overtreated over the years. Anyway His daily raw diet of Honeys Dog Food and chicken wings has been very successful so far but he is now finding it difficult to fully chew the chicken wings.
I would like to continue with the Honeys ( 250 g ) per day in the morning and feed him around 250g of Wolfworthy for his second meal.
Will this be ok and do I need to wean him on the Wolf slowly
WolfworthyDE
Maurice Greig• one year ago
Hi Maurice, I am sure by now you have found the best way to feed your dog. However, for future reference, it is fine to feed Wolfworthy alongside other foods. The most important thing is to get the feeding amounts of both foods right to ensure that your dog is getting 100% of their nutritional requirements.
Janeen Stevens
Maurice Greig• one year ago
I feed 50:50 raw and Wolfworthy. I literally half the daily amount for his size and activity, I split his meals so has some meat first, then a second course of Wolfworthy followed by a dehydrated chicken Neck. Then the same on an evening. Although he's a pug and inhales food, so I have to split his food up so he takes a breath in between!
Hannah Murray• 2 years ago
Hello. I have a 9 months old miniature schnauzer who will need to transfer to adult food soon and this seems to be a good choice. He’s a massive foodie! As in he takes his worming pills straight out of our hand because he thinks it’s food. I’m slightly worried about the fat content. What are you experiences?
WolfworthyDE
Hannah Murray• one year ago
Hi Hannah, I am sorry for the delayed response and I am sure you have now found a suitable food. However, Wolfworthy is based on the diet dogs evolved to eat, it is therefore not a low-fat food. If a dog is prone to pancreatitis, it is worth looking at some low fat options. We are working super hard on some new flavours, including a lower fat option :)

Hi all
I have recently put my 16 week old Labrador puppy on this food, after weeks of research. So far, he seems to love it 😊
The only thing that concerns me is there is only one flavour, and he can be a fussy pup, hence why we’ve changed his kibble more than once.
Does anyone ever add anything to their dogs meals when their dog is being a bit picky?
Also, does anyone still give their dog supplements? I have heard of Yumove. I was wondering if this is necessary as the nutritional value of the food is very good. Or adding Salmon oil to the food to help with joints and coat condition? I noticed the food has 3% Salmon oil included.
As my puppy is a Lab from working lines, he should be on the leaner side, although he will only ever be our pet and won’t be working. Since having him I felt he has been too lean and didn’t like the look of his ribs sticking out. Since being on this food one week only he has filled out in the right places and I think he looks a lot heather and handsome 😍
Overall I am very very satisfied with the food, just have a couple of queries as above incase any clever person has already worked this out. I am a new puppy Mum and I have found the whole “what type of food” decision a minefield!

Laura Marie• 2 years ago
I and my family are experienced dog owners and to be honest, I still find it difficult to find the best fit diet for my dog. Just keep reading and learning about dog nutrition and see what your pup likes I guess : )I too have just ordered a small bag of Wolfworthy in order to see if my fussy puppy, who’s ten months old will get on board. With the heat and the fact that the breed often have periods of going ‘off’ their food when they grow, he’s currently not enthused.My response though is in relation to YuMove. I lost my adult Bernese Mountain Dog at the end of last year and despite him being larger than the breed standard for a male, I kept him in good health, with YuMove Advance 360, prescribed by my vet. I hadn’t heard of it before but with him being so large, he occasionally threw his back out trying to squeeze into small spaces that weren’t designed for him or, other silly maneuvers. My vet recommended YuMove and it made a significant difference to his flexibility and back and joint health. With this in mind, I decided to start my puppy on YuMove Young and Active at 3-4 months old and he’s been on it ever since. I imagine for young dogs, the health benefits are not as obvious and it’s not cheap but my thinking is that I’ll set him up well from the outset and hopefully when he gets to middle age, around 4-6 years, he’ll be better off for it. My Mum has a 6 year old Bernese who recently was beginning to seem quite slow on walks. This could have been the increase in temperature but we wondered if middle age may mean he’s feeling more creaky. I gave her a supply of YuMove Young and Active to try, just to get him started and when she’s on the last of it, she’ll go to the vet and ask for the advanced formulation because by now, he should really be on the higher dose. It may be psychosomatic, but I’m sure I’ve noticed a difference in him and the ease of movement, so I’d be inclined to give it good consideration. The reviews out there are often very positive : )

Hi LauraWe have a 19 week Bernese and is currently on AVA large breed puppy about 600gms per day ...he never seems satisfied even with treats.I see that you and your mum have been Berners owners and wondered if you could recommend a brand. He does not have any allergies but is partial to fish treats 😋 thank you in advance
Laura Buchan
Amelia• 2 years ago
Hi Amelia,Good question...from what I understand, Bernese do really well fed two meals a day and with a combination of high quality raw food, high quality kibble and some cooked foods. I have a diet sheet from my breeder that may help you...My previous Bernese was on cooked white fish, cooked chicken, rice, egg, porridge, tripe at that age to name but a few things and then later on moved on to Burns Wet food and kibble, combined twice a day in the day. He then moved on to raw food after he was snipped at 20 months because he began to put on weight. I initially fed him Nutriment Raw but he continued to pile on the pounds so I switched him over to Paleo Ridge Raw and then to their Paleo Plus range which is much leaner. He did very well on that. Arnie was a special case in that he didn’t fit the dietary mould of your typical Bernese. He was starving all the time and swallowed objects that he shouldn’t have done. I would even say there was a possibility he had the pikea syndrome.I started my new boy, Fred on the same sort of diet as Arnie and my Mum’s Bernese, Stanley- four meals a day, then three, then around 8-10 months, 2 meals a day. I combination fed him for the first few months with more of a raw food emphasis this time and he’s done very well. He’s ten months old and the large of the two dogs you can see in my profile photo. The other is Stanley and he’s a bit little for a male (but perfectly formed).Your Berner baby is growing rapidly, rapport, rapidly- I can’t state that enough. He needs a range of foods to feed his growth and help him reach his full size potential and at his age, he should be on 3-4 meals a day. I went to the ultimate this time and wrote down what I fed Fred at various points so I can refer back to it in the future.Why don’t you

Why don’t you contact me through me work website using the ‘contact us’ tab (not sure if this site blocks personal email addresses) and I’ll send over the diet sheet Fred’s breeder gave me and any other relevant info that could be useful.
Fred’s currently on a 450 grams of Poppy’s Picnic raw food and around 300 grams of wolf worthy per day but he’s going through a typical phase of not being so fussed about food, which given Arnie’s proclivities, I’m not used to and I find frustrating. The fact I know it’s to be expected with this breed helps a little.
I guess the tip top is feed him up because he’s a growing boy and give him a range of foods, several times a day. You won’t be sorry, he’ll grow into a strapping lad which is one of the points of having a Bernese.
I spoke at length, several times in the phone both before and after collecting Fred with his breeder and she thinks Arnie’s issues with over eating came from not having enough to eat in his early weeks and therefore hoarding anything he thought was food in his later life. She advised me to over feed Fred as a puppy and have him walk away from his meal rather than finish it all.
Of course, there comes a point when their growth plateaus and they can be at risk of piling on the weight but it seems to have had a natural bell drive for Fred. He ate hungrily when he was younger and now, he can ‘take or leave’ it.
Get in touch at doubleu doubleu doubleu dot diamondsintheskydaycare dot co dot uk (I’ve literally spelled this out because the first time I posted this as a direct repose to you question on the thread, it went for approval by the website. Not sure if this will work either but as a fellow Berner enthusiast, I really want to help you and can’t be faffed uploading resources to this platform. Sending them via email would be so much easier).
and I’ll send you what I fed
Fred and some resources from his breeder : )
All the best,

Labs put weight on fast! And its hard to get that weight off so dont let it happen. Once he is finished growing, keep a very close eye on his weight. Working type or not, all dogs are healthier on the lean side. I groom far too many overweight dogs with the joint pain, heart probs, breathing probs that go along with it and it breaks my heart to see them.
I've managed to get the owners of 2 larger dogs (a malamute and a bearded collie) to put them on strict diets ( cut out the unhealthy treats was all!) And both are doing brilliantly now. Where they were too stiff to lift paws for grooming or nail trimming, and couldnt stand for long to be groomed, both are once again fully mobile. Not stiff after walks anymore. Not needing extra support for grooming. And both have the energy they had when younger. Though rest a bit more after! They are both 10 or 11 yrs old now. And looking beautiful.
Please keep your boy slim!
Cate Spenceley• 2 years ago
I did a ton of research and eventually settled on this dog food, love the fact that it's British, family owned. The reviews are amazing when you do a bit of research, and oh my goodness, our new pup loves the stuff!!! Literally struggled to get him to eat the pedigree puppy that he arrived with. His poos still seem slightly soft but we re hoping that's a change of diet thing.
I emailed probably a slight overly anxious email to the company worried about the best way to feed the puppy and got a lovely, really helpful response from Nichola!! Total convert!

Cate Spenceley• 2 years ago
Not sure if your dog still has soft poos, but we had this same issue and were advised to put in a small amount of pumpkin puree and that worked.. think the fibre content is quite low and the pumpkin compensates for that

Looking forward to receiving the sample. Buddy is my 7 month old chihuahua who is really not bothered about food. He would rather eat a twig or dead leaf from the garden. We have tried wet, raw and dry and think dry is the way to go for ease as he is a grazer and I'm disabled!

Asha • one year ago
Hi Asha, sorry for the delayed reply. Freshly prepared is the term we use to describe the finest human grade quality meat and fish ingredients that are delivered to our site chilled, by our own refrigerated transport to maintain the highest quality conditions. In our on-site meat kitchen, we gently cook each meat at circa 82ºC (180ºF) to both protect the proteins and ensure maximum digestibility and nutritional value to the dog. This is a temperature that allows us to kill harmful bacteria (Salmonella, E-coli and Campylobacter) and preserve as much of the natural goodness as possible.
Yasmin Wade• 2 years ago
I really wanted my dog to like this. She's a staffy mix and will eat anything BUT this. we can only put it down to her being used to cheap kibble at the rescue, and now this is just too rich for her. Such a shame because I read into this company and researched the best food for weeks and we decided on wolfworthy. Back to the drawing board 🙄

Do you feed this along with wet food? My pup seems to get dehydrated on just kibble so I started to add a little bit of wet food (about 30-40g daily) also to add a bit of a different flavour and texture to her meal. She likes the wet but takes time to eat the dry kibble even with having different flavours. If she has too much wet she seems to get soft/runny stools.
Vicki Wolf• 3 years ago
How is this company allowed by trading standards to say their dry, extruded food has "the same health benefits as raw" (whilst making misleading claims about raw food being "expensive" and containing "salmonella e-coli, and campylobacter")? I find that unethical and deceptive.

I have a 8 month old labradoodle who is very fussy and suffers occasionally with colitis , he’s been on a wet sensitive control food for a couple of weeks from the vets but has now turned his nose up so been on rice and chicken, ordered a sample and I tried a couple of nuggets and he seemed to love it, how do I transition him from rice and chicken to wolfworthy please ?
WolfworthyDE
Victoria Hutt• one year ago
A gradual transition with your dog's current food is better if you can. This gives your dog's tummy time to adjust to the new food.
If your dog is currently on a dry or wet food we recommend transitioning over a week:
Day 1 25% Wolfworthy with 75% current food
Day 2 25% Wolfworthy with 75% current food
Day 3 50% Wolfworthy with 50% current food
Day 4 50% Wolfworthy with 50% current food
Day 5 75% Wolfworthy with 25% current food
Day 6 75% Wolfworthy with 25% current food
Day 7 100% Wolfworthy

Hi, my pup loves Wolfworthy, we use it sort of unconventionally as training rewards and a back up to his raw food for travel and taking to daycare etc.
But, he has recently suffered from Pancreantitis and now needs to be on as low a fat diet as possible. If the fat content of Wolfworthy likely to be too high? I know it's got lots of good fats but I'm being super cautious :(

I found Wolfworthy on the AADF site, and decided to try it for my three mixed breed rescue dogs. I have taken on oldies for the last twenty years, my beloved Staffie X could now be about 18, ex Pound so not absolutely sure, and he has high blood pressure, another, a JRT, is blind and a bit frail, the third an ex-breeding bitch (even though she is not a 'breed'), so I really have to make sure that I give them the best food I can possibly afford. I am really pleased with it, it smells absolutely delicious, they seem to love it, and I have noticed firmer stools as a result. I mix in steak mince and braising steak from my butcher, plus cooked chicken, and some Forthglade 'Just Chicken'. I am very confident that, after years of experimenting, I have found a good formula.Everything about this food is excellent, sourced in UK, tastefully designed compostable bag, informative website, quick delivery, and a reasonable price, couldn't be more pleased.
srapier• 3 years ago
Our dog was really enjoying this and we signed up for a regular subscription, however she has just gone off it following delivery of a brand new bag. The food in the new bag appears different to the previous and she sifted those out of a mixed bowl of old and new and ignored the new. These pellets are much smaller and darker. She won't touch it now, even if sprinkled with a bit of grated cheese which normally gets her eating anything. Therefore a bit too inconsistent for us to trust it 100% - was the bake too long, the mix too concentrated? May revisit it at some point but at this point we might as well try another brand.
Del Folkes
srapier• 3 years ago
Hi Simon, we are truly sorry that your dog will no longer eat Wolfworthy. As we explained over the phone, even though our recipe has not changed over the time your story relates to, as it is a natural product there will be always be tiny variations from batch to batch. We use all the same great ingredients in the same proportions to ensure consistency, so we are at a loss as to why your dog has had such a reaction. Best of luck with your search to find a suitable food for your dog.

Hi Michelle, I am so sorry that your dog didn’t do well on Wolfworthy. Not all dog foods will suit all dogs, you never know, she might have a sensitivity that you are not aware of. However, I think there must have been some kind of miscommunication, as part of our guarantee we do accept the return of opened bags. I have checked and I cannot find your name in our system, so please get in contact as soon as possible 01625 359 359 and let’s see what we can do to make you happy.
Timothy Hambelton• 4 years ago
Just had my 3rd bag delivered, I can't praise this food enough.Like most people, I want to feed my dogs the best diet possible and found this about a year ago when weaning my Yorkie onto adult food. Love the ethos, compostable bags and made in the UK too.I feed three different complete dry foods and various complete wet foods to keep interest in both flavour and texture. This also means if one becomes unavailable it's not a total disaster; however Wolfworthy now remains the only constant food in the cupboard.The change to make it puppy suitable has made me even happier, especially with a new mixed breed pup having arrived meaning one food suits both dogs.Firstly Winston our Yorkie. Very lively and food orientated he would eat anything given half a chance! However in the period we didn't feed Wolfworthy his coat condition dropped and was not as energetic. With this now a mainstay in his diet his coat is in better condition and seems to have more 'bounce'. Needless to say he is always eager for his meals and maintains a stable weight. (3.6kg). Winston will also use the inside of the empty 7.5kg bag as a hideout..... free dog toy with every purchase!Our new arrival Billy was being fed both a dry complete and a wet complete puppy food from Hills when he came home. He seemed small (800g) for his age (10 wks) which we put down to competition from his larger siblings. However he was genuinely disinterested in this food and remains so to this day. However we went to feed Winson with Wolfworthy and the nose started twitching, he started squeaking then pushed Winston away to get to it. What more of a recommendation could a dog give unless they could talk? Again we rotate between 3 quality dry puppy foods and a variety of quality wet completes, he is thriving, full of energy with weight going on (now 1500g at 15 weeks) and always eager for a meal. Our vet is happy with his overall condition and progress when received his health check and vaccination for kennel cough last week. (The Hills food has not been wasted, the local hedgehog population think its Christmas!)No dicky tummies, food always eaten, full of energy, what's not to like.I have also spoken with the staff over the phone following a security check from an internet order. Friendly, knowledgable, and genuine. I can't ask for more.

A lot of the time when I’ve searched for food or reviews for dog products a lot of it is geared towards everything below large size and the giant breeds don’t get a look in so if you have a giant breed this review is for you also. I have a mix breed of 3 large/giant breeds and I’ve struggled in the time I’ve had him (approx 2 years) to find a food that he will like and that will put weight on him (and keep the weight on) as he was emaciated when I got him. I’ve never had a dog (until this one) who had been starved and wasn’t a pig but my boy is fussy and difficult with food. I’ve tried nearly every brand you can think of plus raw diet and invariably it didn’t take long at all before he just wouldn’t eat it and I couldn’t afford for him to lose weight so onto the next food it would be.I found wolfworthy while researching online for what felt like the billionth time and liked the feel of the site and the ingredients were all within what I was looking for. I had concerns that the kibble would be too small for him but was able to order a trial pack, which is small but perfect to see how your dog takes to it. Both the dog and the cat tried to get into it before I’d even opened it and it disappeared in seconds, so no the kibble size was just fine.I’ve ordered his feed on subscription and it couldn’t be easier it arrives exactly when I need it to so I don’t run out and when I had to change my subscription today via live chat as always I got so much help and didn’t feel like a pain.Every morning and evening the dog and the cat (not his food but he doesn’t care) come running the minute they hear the bowl and the bag opening and it’s gone nearly as soon as I put it down and I can honestly say not one single food that I’ve had him on has provoked that response from him (not even tripe!) you can see what good quality the food is just looking at it. Not only is the food amazing but everyone working at wolfworthy is too, they’ve been incredibly patient and helpful with me each time I’ve either emailed or called and most importantly they’re friendly and make you feel like nothing is too much trouble. Honestly wish I’d found wolfworthy years ago and best of all I’ve gone from feeding my boy over 1kg a day kibble or 3kg a day raw to about 600g a day and he’s putting more weight on and maintaining a healthy coat, etc this is a fantastic company with food that gives your dog everything it needs for less feed.

The reason I decided to change to Wolfworthy is after doing a lot of research on different dog foods it was obvious that Wolfworthy is made with the best interest of the dogs well-being & by someone who loves dogs. As Wolfworthy say it is based on the natural diet of the grey wolf, the food dogs evolved to eat. The ingredients list speaks for itself and there are no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. I would also like to mention the customer service at Wolfworthy is excellent, you can save money by subscribing to have the food delivered at a frequency of your choosing & can pause, amend deliveries anytime. Very happy customer & very happy pooch. 😊 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

Only dog food our little dude doesn't turn his nose up at. Coat is much shinier and his attitude is much better than when on any other brand we tried and trust me we tried a few!!! Couldn't be happier with a dog food at all - amazing 💯!!!

Fantastic dog food!
After trying raw dog food we were upset to discover that our French Bulldog, Rollo, was unable to digest it properly. His stools became pale and overall he lost condition, rapidly!He’d not had any problems on his previous dried kibble diet. But, we wanted to give him a raw diet, a ‘better’ diet. Unfortunately, raw food, at least the brand we tried, was totally unsuitable.
We decided to give Wolfworthy a go and we’re delighted with the results.Rollo, absolutely loves it! He jumps around at every meal time. He’s that keen!His condition has greatly improved and what’s more his digestion has settled down. He’s producing two stools per day and they’re of the right colour and consistency. His coat looks amazing too.It’s been just over a week and both Rollo and ourselves are very happy with this food. I’d heartily recommend it.

This is really interesting to find and hear! So, I have a 14 month old Springer Spaniel who is my absolute world. It sounds like we've had a similar experience. I initially had her on a quality kibble, but her stools weren't always happy. We switched to raw about 7 weeks ago and whilst her stools are firmer, despite upping her daily allowance to that for the weight of a dog weighing 5kg more than she did at first, in this time she's lost 2kg!!!! I've had her at the vets twice and at the mo tests going on to make sure nothing problematic internally. Hopefully next week we'll have the direction we need. If the results are clear, well we'll probably look to make a diet change. I have absolute faith in the raw food company and it being a brilliant option for many dogs out there, but maybe it's just not right for my dog, as it clearly wasn't for yours. She's also lost her shinny healthy coat. It's good hearing this review and I'll continue reading – Wolfworthy is looking good.

Not all Raw food company's are good quality. Like kibble we have to try a fair few different manufacturers until we hit gold. Wolfworthy seems to be one of those golden kibble companies.

Fantastic dog food! We would highly recommend this to other consumers! Previously we struggled to find a food suitable for our fussy little cockapoo...until we introduced him to a bowl of wolfworthy! He now finishes his meals within seconds. We wouldnt feed our dog anything else now (he wouldnt eat it anyways ha!).We are confident our dog is getting a good healthy balance diet with its wholesome ingredients (and no nasties). Sonny has lots of energy, bright eyes, shinny coat as well as a full tummy!Great customer service, always helpful and speedy hassle free deliveries. Thank you Wolfworthy.

My Jenga adores this food. He was never food oriented and just used to pick at it, only ever finishing a bowl if he was really hungry. This food though is gone in seconds. I was amazed at how small the portion was compared to standard kibble food but when you feel how heavy the food itself is it makes sense. Also, you know with this that there are no fillers or bulking out material, just good, honest wholesome food most of which is fully digested which means less pooh!!!!!Jenga's coat is beautiful and he looks so healthy now. We have had no more ear infections since being on this and his skin is less itchy.Thank you Wolfworthy, one happy dog and his hooman xx

We couldn’t be happier with Wolfworthy!
Our Golden Retriever Mungo absolutely loves it and eats it all up in under a few minutes, so that is a clear sign worthy of a 5 star rating.
We love the company and all that it stands for: all the knowledge and research that goes into every single detail, the dedication and authentic care for the well-being of dogs and the superb customer service Del gives. I have contacted him a couple of times with some questions and he is always there happy to help in any way he can and always remembers us.
Also worthy of mentioning is the conscientious care for the environment that goes into Wolfworthy. From using local suppliers to the recyclable packaging of the kibble; it is all taken into consideration.
So as you can see, I can’t recommend it enough. If you want top quality food for your dog provided with the utmost customer service, then Wolfworthy is your answer.
Thanks so much Del!!

Hi, I wanted to just drop you a quick msg to say that my dog loves Wolfworthy and I have notice a big difference in her coat. As well as being very shiny people always comment on how soft her coat is. She’s less gassy and seems to be more energetic. Been feeding her it for a few months now and it’s a big thumbs up from both of us.
Keep up the good work.Kind regardsDarren

I began feeding my two Staffordshire Bull Terriers wolfworthy around four months ago. My boy, Dudley, was a rescue dog who has always suffered from severe skin allergies and ear infections due to being a stray for almost all of his puppyhood. He would sometimes scratch his skin until it was raw, however, since putting him on the Wolfworthy diet, he has not suffered with the allergies that have caused him discomfort. Both of our dogs are happy and healthy, with beautiful coats and plenty of energy, alongside maintaining a perfect weight. Every meal is an empty bowl and they get so excited at meal times now. Thank you, Wolfworthy! We would not feed our dogs anything else now.

I switched to Wolfworthy some months ago. Our rescue dog had not had a good start to life at all and as a result her tummy is very sensitive. She absolutely loves Wolfworthy, as soon as it's down, it's gone and Wolfworthy seems to love her too as we have no tummy issues. Her coat is so soft and shiny, she's just a picture of health. I think it's safe to say we are signed up to Wolfworthy for life!

Hi my dog has been diagnosed with struvite crystals and is on special food from the vets, which he is not keen on! He has tried a sample of woolfworthy which he loved! I am tempted to change him over completely to woolfworthy but need your advice first. Will woolfworthy help with his ph balance? Thanks
Del Folkes
Hazel• 5 years ago
Hi Hazel, thanks for getting in touch. Dogs evolved to eat a mainly carnivorous diet, which results in urine pH levels of between 6 and 6.5 (acidic). Struvite crystals can form in dogs when the pH levels rises above 7 (alkaline), which can be caused by biologically inappropriate diets (high carbohydrate content, high grain content). Wolfworthy is based on the diet dog's evolved to eat and is therefore high in meat (80% Chicken, Turkey, Salmon, Beef & Trout), this will help to keep the pH in the right range. There are other causes of struvite crystals (e.g. urinary tract infection), so please consult with your vet to eliminate these other causes.

My dog Jet, a cross between an American Bulldog and a Black Russian Terrier, who is now 4 years old, loves Wolfworthy! She never leaves any of it :-) When we adopted her, the lady who had owned her previously had been feeding her very basic food, the cheapest she could find. Now her diet has been switched to this wonderful food, her coat is gleaming, her eyes are nice and bright, she has more energy and her digestion is regular / the stools that she produces are all perfect and as they should be (not as much produced either as the higher quality food means her body is taking in much more of the food/nutrients and is not having to expel as much waste). Overall she's a much healthier and happier dog. I had a query recently regarding amending my order and Del who works at this company was very quick to respond and help out, everything was resolved super quick. I cannot recommend this company and food enough!

This food is amazing! I've tried all the best foods, finally found this one and my 10 month English Bull Terrier pup is thriving! He had a few bald patches appear on his tail, head etc, but now all cleared up and his fur is back to best.

Contacted Wolfworthy to seek advice about their food for my GSD 11 Months) Del called me and spoke to me in depth about their food. He is a fountain of knowledge and is true to his cause of ensuring his food is the best he can make for our dogs. He is passionate and he cares. My GSD has a few issues with his legs and Del was honest in his approach, telling me to go see my Vet to ask if it is a suitable food as Del wasn’t sure it was - how many dog food producers are transparent enough to say I’m not sure our food is right for your dog? I am hoping post vet visit, and when my GSD is 12 Months, I’ll be contacting Del to arrange my first order. I cannot recommend highly enough. He echos my passion for ensuring my boy has the best he can in his bowl.

I have a 18 month Bulldog bitch, who believe it or not struggle to keep weight on her. I like to feed a mix of wet and dry, and have been using Forthglade but struggle to find a dry food that I'm happy with that includes fish and offal (I feel often overlooked in dry foods), that is until now! Fantastic ingredients, it is very similar to Orijen except, it's sourced locally in UK so its carbon footprint is lower (Not flown from Canada), and cost wise not to dissimilar especially when using the subscription service as you get a discount.
I have no problem with palatability with her and she literally wolfs it down. The kibble is average size and feels good quality in the hand (doesn't dissolve or feel dusty to the touch like some)
Customer service is also excellent, very attentive, helpful and get back to you almost instantly.
Overall a very satisfied Bulldog and owner!

I have a cocker spaniel 11 years old who started to develop allergies... so, after trying other brands I changed her food to Wolfworthy and within 2 days her allergies stopped. She enjoys her food a lot and is a very healthy and happy dog. Recently we found that due to her age, her kidneys are starting to fail and the vet suggested we check on her food to see if we could do something to help her kidneys to work better. I contacted Wolfworthy customer service to discuss this and the next day they called to discuss our situation. I have never had an experience like this, where you can still find human beings that actually care about our pets and their well being. We even talked about the possibility of trying other foods to have more options to discuss with the vet in the future, and not having to go back to the commercial brands. I CAN NOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH THE FOOD AND THE PEOPLE BEHIND THIS BRAND. We are so happy we have found Wolfworth and at least for now our Simona will still be able to enjoy her meals!

My dogs love Wolfworthy food. I have a chocolate Labrador (6) and a cocker spaniel (12), both are fit and healthy and enjoy eating Wolfworthy. Del provides great customer service and we love having the food delivered to our door on subscription. No more worries about running out and having to rush to the shop to 'make do' with something of a lesser quality!

This is a great dog food. I can't recommend it highly enough. My rescue staffie absolutely loves it. After switching to Wolfworthy she is much healthier with a nice shiny coat and lots of energy. She was previously a bit picky and seemed to struggle with foods that contained grain, now she loves her meals. The subscription service is great too: helpful reminder emails, easy to change if you need to, fast delivery, no lugging big bags of food home from the shop and no running out.

I can't rate Wolfworthy highly enough, both the food and the customer service was 5*. My dog loves Wolfworthy and she is a real fussy dog. She had a check up at the vets and they confirmed that she is in great condition and at the perfect weight for her age. I contacted Wolfworthy yesterday evening regarding my recent order and to inform them I have entered the wrong postcode for the delivery address (I wanted the package delivered to my partners work but had put in my home postcode). I received a call and an email from Del within an hour of me sending my email to let me know they are looking into it. Del contacted the courier company first thing this morning and has corrected the postcode and I am due to receive the package today. No waiting days for replies to emails and very pleasant to deal with considering the mistake was completely my fault.

I used to think "all dog food is the same" Believe me, it isn't. !! Usually I never bother to leave reviews, however I'm really pleased to highly recommended a product from a UK business who definitely seems to have got it right!! Thanks
