Product review
- James Wellbeloved Dog & Cat
The James Wellbeloved brand has been around for several
years and built up a reputation for a quality natural food. In case
you are wondering, there was no James Wellbeloved who started up
the company, that was just a cute marketing ploy!
These these days James Wellbeloved is no longer in
private ownership, having been taken over a couple of times, to
end up as part of a multi-national. During this period there is
no doubt that the recipes did changed slightly, and some owners
reported that their pets have suffered as a consequence, but nowadays
things seem to have settled down, and once again the word on the
street is that JW is still a trusted brand with many thousands of
pet owners.
For ourselves, we have tried the JW products and find
them consistent, well presented and very palatable.
Price-wise, James Wellbeloved are not cheap these
days. A 15kg bag of basic adult dog food has a RRP of up to £49.
Fortunately, you can usually find it cheaper on sites like Pet
Supermarket, Petplanet
or GJW
Titmuss and buy for £42 or less so don't for goodness
pay full price!

With selected protein sources and selected carbohydrate source
of rice, it is a dietetic food, excellent for the reduction
of ingredient and nutrient intolerances. We suggest that the
food be tried for a period of 3 – 8 weeks. If the signs
