The feeding guide and pricing is wrong unfortunately; back of pack says 10-20kg dog needs 1.25-2packs per day but AADF say 223g or just over 1/2 a pack (£1.43) for a 12kg dog.

The feeding guide seems way off, I ended up having to tripple the daily amount which significantly increased the cost per day

Just to add to this, Walker and Drake add 30mg of carrageenan as a gelling agent. This is not stated in the ingredients lists on their website but is on the back of the box.

Good afternoon Sammi, I hope you’re well. I hadn’t realised that it wasn’t listed on the website so I’ll amend this week, I did notice that you’ve also posted on AADF but you’ve stated we use 30mg which is actually the Zinc ingredient, Carrageenan is only used as a trace ingredient in our vitamin blend. Walker & Drake take all of our customer feedback seriously. We value the need for honesty and integrity, and above all we put canine health at the very heart of what we do. I can confirm that we have a very small trace of this in our vitamin and mineral blend. Carrageenan is an ingredient that is widely used within the food industry - across human and animal foods. It is used as a gelling or thickening agent in everything from yoghurt to toothpaste. It bonds water molecules and enables the ingredients to emulsify, turning the food from a liquid soup to a solid pate. Carrageenan is extracted from red edible seaweeds and has been used within the food industry for hundreds of years. It has been deemed safe and not hazardous to health by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and WHO (the World Health Organization) through a joint expert committee on Food Additives (JECFA). There has been a vast amount of research carried out since the 1960's on "carrageenan". Much of this research does not make a clear distinction between food-grade carrageenan, undegraded carrageenan, degraded carrageenan or poligeenan. Poligeenan, or prior to 1988, degraded carrageenan, is produced when carrageenan is processed with acid. This is not approved as a food additive. In addition, many of the experiments used carrageenan in testing environments which were not accurate to the way in which the ingredient is consumed, again skewing results and findings. "Extensive research has been unable to reliably connect carrageenan to any of the “carrageenan dangers† suggested by Tobacman or Cornucopia. Instead, reliable science continues to demonstrate that ingested carrageenan poses no threat whatsoever." There is a really good Q and A section on the International Food Additives Council website that should alleviate any further worries or queries:https://www.foodingredientfacts.org/facts-on-food-ingredients/sources-of-food-ingredients/carrageenan/ Walker & Drake are committed to providing healthy dog food for our canine companions, and we would not, under any circumstances, include an ingredient within our foods that would be deemed harmful in anyway. Our nutritional experts and quality control advisors ensure that they keep abreast of any developments and research within the pet food industry to maintain the high quality and service that our customers should expect.

I need to amend my comment - Walker & Drake have got back to me re. the carrageenan amount - I misread the box and posted the amount for Zinc (apologies)! They use trace amounts of carrageenan in the wet food. They are also going to be updating their website to see that it is included.
