I've just ordered tuggs for my 8 week old puppy I went through the questionnaire and everything was OK. I come on here and it says from 4 months old. ? I'm a bit worried now

Tuggs Natacha1985 12 days ago

Hi Natasha, thanks for your order! I'm not sure why it says from 4 months old here, that is incorrect and I'll need to ask AADF to change that. Our food is suitable for dogs of all ages - we've actually run quite extensive trials with puppies that you can read about on our blog. We compared puppies growing up eating Tuggs vs raw food and the results were very favourable for Tuggs! You can take a look here: https://www.tuggs.uk/blog/tuggs-better-than-raw-our-research-with-glasgow-university-students

So my two dogs have been on their subscriptions for about a month now and they are all the better for it. Took me a good month of research to settle on Tuggs but after receiving one of the highest ratings on here it was clear.

The dogs are very happy, healthy and finish every bowl (one is fussy the other not so much). They only go to the toilet once a day now too which means their bodies are using up the food nutrients fully rather than it coming out as waste.

Very surprised to be able to see the ingredients in the food too, so many carrots, potatoes, greens and all sorts. Not something you can do with dry or wet food.

A nice extra perk is it’s much greener and sustainable too.

Only in the transition stage from old food to Tuggs so a bit early to review health benefits but looking forward to finding out how it compares with old food.

So far customer service / satisfaction has bee excellent with a follow up call after a few days to ensure we were happy . Advice given regarding feeding. Arrived well packages and on time . I was unsure if my very fussy dog would like the slightly softer texture of Tuggs BUT this not the case and she actually ended up leaving a bit of the old food . So all in all so far so good and fingers crossed it lives up to my expectations for health benefits

Fresh food with insects is interesting... why do you add the insects, for nutrition or sustainability? Considering giving this a try but would love to learn more!

Sign in to reply
Tuggs Georgina 2 months ago

Hey Georgina, thanks for the message. So we add insects for both reasons - the insects that we use are nutritionally akin to beef but with a far lower carbon pawprint (using a fraction of the land & water resources and emitting far fewer carbon emissions). They are incredibly dense in various vitamins, minerals and they contain all essential amino acids.

Our ethos is all about reducing reliance on livestock and making more sustainable products where possible. You can read more information about the insects that we use and their nutritionally suitability on our blog at www.tuggs.uk/blog

I've been researching dog foods to switch my german shepherd to and like what i've read about tuggs (always like supporting the underdog too). Has anyone else with a german shepherd tried this food? It's rated very highly on here but also really like what i've read on their site with the whole insect thing, seems innovative

Tuggs Carolec1976 3 months ago

Hey Carole, thanks for the message! We have lots of German Shepherds eating Tuggs, and with Tuggs you can create a plan that tailors to the metabolism of each breed; that way you can be sure you're feeding your pup with what they need to thrive! Any more questions to feel free to get in touch directly at woof@tuggs.uk

Recently made a decision to try fresh dog food and since switching to Tuggs there has been a noticeable difference in our dogs coat quality and she is now finally at a consistent healthy weight, which is something that we struggled to maintain beforehand. Would rcommend giving it a try

Bagel used to be an extremely fussy eater, he would never eat dry food, we switched to raw food about 2 years ago which he loved. For the past two months we have moved to Tuggs for two main reasons the first being the environmental side, using insect protein and sustainable packaging. The second and most important is the health benefits to Bagel, since eating Tuggs (which he finishes in seconds) his coat has become silkier, he is more energetic and stools more firm!

I've been feeding Tuggs to my dog for a few months now and I couldn't recommend it enough. She is normally really fussy and most other food gives her an upset tummy. Now she eats Tuggs, she finishes every bowl, she's not having any tummy problems and she's full of energy!
