We fed our dog this food for a couple of years. Early part of 2023 it suddenly started going right through him. Nursed him back on bland diet and tried him back on this about 3 times. Each time just a touch of this food cleared him out. Ended up taking the large multipack back to the store to ask for a refund which thankfully they did.

They've changed their recipes, increased prices almost 50%, and are getting hammered with reviews. I've switched to Lovejoys trays until they sort themselves out.

What has Wainwright done to its variety pack with brown rice & vegetables recipe? They announced that they were improving their recipe a few months ago, which they did along with increasing the price per box. I have been feeding my 11 year old Cocker Spaniel on a mixture of wet and their dry foods for most of his life. However since the improvement to the recipe of the wet food, many of the trays are pure slop! When trying to cut the food into bit size pieces, the food purely sticks to anything it touches and resemble wall paper paste. My dog now has to be persuaded to eat it and often prefers to go hungry rather eat this s**t. Can anyone recommend a quality grain free dog food that we can use instead?

I've switched them to Lovejoys Complete Wet Adult Dog Food. On Amazon. Bit more expensive, but only a little, seeings as Wainwrght's is now £28.

Tried my Welsh Springer Spaniel on the Wainwrights wet food trays grain free variety pack. She had the Turkey one. 20 minutes later her face swelled up, left eyelid and nose, she was trying to itch her face and then became lethargic. We rushed her to the out of hours vet and had to pay £230, for an emergency injection and consultation. The food will be returned or binned and we are writing a complaint letter to Wainwrights requesting the vets bill to be paid. I DO NOT ADVISE BUYING THIS FOOD!

I used to really like this food but recently the poops produced seem very dry and chalky. They didn't used to be this way, wondering if their has been a change in production? Has anyone else noticed this?

The fibre content on this product is really low. Should dogs be getting more fibre than this?

My dog has always been fed a mixed diet of wet and dry foods because she is a rather fussy eater.Unfortunately, she has suffered from dozens (and I REALLY mean dozens) of bouts of colitis over the last five years or so, and despite countless visits to the vets (and far too many repeat antibiotic prescriptions to mention), nothing has been able to keep her stools solid for more than a few weeks at a time. The vet never once mentioned that wheat could be a problem in any of these visits and I feel seriously annoyed about this.A few months ago, there was a TV documentary about pet foods and it highlighted that practically all main and complimentary dog foods contain wheat in one form or another, and that colitis is often attributed to the high wheat content found in most dog foods. The next day, I looked at the labelling of loads of dog foods in the local Tesco and was shocked to see that all the mainstream manufacturers listed foremost was: moisture, ash, and oil as the ingredients. It is supposed to be meat, so where the hell is the meat and where did it come from? In dismay, I went to a 'proper' pet store and bought a box of Wainright's assorted flavours wet food and a bag of their grain-free dry food.Roll on abut 5 months now on the same diet and the colitis issue has not been an problem since, which is somewhat of a record. She no longer seems to have stomach gripes, and on walks, it is a pleasure to pick up dog poo (like you do with in a bag) and kind of admire a brown solid mass, not a load of mush covered in disgusting green slime.Honestly, I cannot recommend Wainright's highly enough because their food has made such a difference to my dog's life. I've recommended it to three other people so far, and although their dogs have never suffered from colitis, they don't have any problems with leftovers.

Excellent wet food. I bought Forthglade (excellent food) first. I then switched to Wainrights it 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 they are both EXCELLENT food. Please see my review of Nutrivet Dry Complete.

My dog loves this and the "output" is very good - have switched from Eden which I think was too rich for him.

I have a Jack Russell that was diagnosed with colitis and have tried most natural foods.Since putting him on this food he has no colitis and he absolutely loves the taste (He is an extremely fussy eater).Also tried him on the rabbit and the lamb which he also loves.The food is full of meat and tasty vegetables and is an excellent quality food!!
