Wainwrights
Dog Food from Pets at Home
 Pets
at Home have been selling their own brand of dog and cat food for
some time now, and we've tried it and like it a lot. The Wainwright's
brand was the first own brand food that PAH really promoted heavily
and it's a good, natural food for dogs and well worth considering
as an option.
What we like about Pets at Home is that they are very
open and honest in their ingredient declaration - no general 'vitamins
and minerals' but listing what's in there, along with the fact that
they use a natural antioxident.
It is also considerably cheaper than many well known
brands that offer similar products at the premium end of the market.
Why? you might ask...
It's mainly down to the number of people taking a
cut of the retail price! Pats at Home buy their food direct from
theirmanufacturer and sell it to you. Other companies have to buy
the food, then distribute it via wholesalers and retailers, each
of whom wants their 30-40% markup. Common sense therefore tells
you that PAH should be able to offer a good deal, perhaps even better
than they actually do!
 In
fact you can save a lot. At around £30 for a 15kg sack Wainwrights
compares well with natural, premium foods costing £42+ a bag.
Tray foods offer less of a saving, but production costs on these
are proportionally higher so there's not so much room for generosity
here.
Our long term trial with Wainwright's foods would
indicate that you get good results with coat, skin and digestion
- although as with all such foods it is important not to overfeed,
so stick to the guidlines. The Wainwright's food is slightly higher
in protein and oil than a product such as Burns, so there's less
likelihood of an underweight dog... but we also have to be careful
not to end up with an overweight one - feed at the lower end of
the feeding range and then adjust upwards if you need to, rather
than the other way around!
So what's in Wainwrights? Basically it's all good
stuff, so let's look at a couple of recipes as an example:
