Product review - Wagg Dog Food

What can we say about Wagg dog foods. They've been making pet foods for 25 years, have some good marketing, attractive packaging and the food is readily available in supermarkets, at a price which is somewhere in the middle between cheap and premium.

You can buy a large bag of Wagg for £18+ but you do feed a lot compared to premium foods, so do the sums on cost/day!

They say "We don’t use any artificial colours or flavours in our pet food, the meat in our complete dry dog food is human food grade and, where possible, we source our raw materials locally or nationally, within the UK."

What they don't tell you is that the food is based around wheat, which is not the most easily digestible cereal, and there's not a lot of meat in it, with cereals providing a lot of the protein. It's what you would expect from a very standard supermarket own brand dog food - call it 'cheap and cheerful' if you like.

Do take into consideration feeding rates though. An £18 bag of food that you have to feed 400g/day (for a 20kg dog) is not so economical if compared to a more digestible food that you feed 250g /day.

To out that into clearer terms let's compare Wagg (and lots of similar foods) with a more digestible alternative

Cost of 15kg

Cost/day

Whites Premium

31.99

285g

60p

Wagg Adult

18.99

400g

50p

So yes, Wagg is over £10 a bag cheaper than a premium food, but in reality it is only 10p a day more expensive to feed the premium food

 

if the price is right and you're not too fussy about ingredients then this food might suit your dog, otherwise suss out some of the more 'natural' foods around.
