Wagg dog food review

Wagg is a plain kibble range with two semi moist recipes alongside it, eleven products in all, built on chicken and beef. Four sit in our Good band and seven in Average, which is where the brand average lands. Nutritional balance is the pillar that matters most here, and it reads Poor on ten of the eleven.

In detail

Wagg: the closer look

The range

Eleven products across seven ranges, nine of them dry and two semi moist. Meaty Chunks, Meaty Goodness, Active Goodness and Kennel each hold two products, with single recipes for wheat free, senior and puppy feeding. Ten labels are adult, with one senior and one puppy.

Ingredients

Chicken leads six products and beef four. Linseed, omega 3 and yucca run across nearly every label. The senior recipe adds glucosamine, chondroitin and salmon oil for joints, and the puppy food carries salmon oil too. Eight products are flagged for weight management.

Nutrition

Protein as fed sits between 20.0% and 28.0%, with the puppy recipe at the top end. Fat runs from 7.5% to 11.0% and energy from 316 to 341 kcal per 100g. Nutritional balance reads Poor on ten products, and protein and processing is Average on seven.

Strengths

  • Semi moist and dry in one range
  • Transparency reads Excellent or Good on most
  • The puppy recipe reads our Good band

Limitations

  • Nutritional balance reads Poor on ten products
  • Protein sits low across the range
  • No wet or raw food

Where it is less of a fit

  • If you want strong nutritional balance, check that pillar first, as it reads Poor on ten of the eleven products
  • If you want high protein, check the figures, since most recipes sit at 20.0% protein as fed
  • If you want wet or raw food, check the formats here, as the range is dry with two semi moist recipes

Score overview

The Average band read comes from nutritional balance, Poor on ten products, and from protein and processing, Average on seven. Transparency is the firmer pillar, Excellent on three labels and Good on seven. The four products in our Good band are the Meaty Chunks pair, the puppy recipe and one Meaty Goodness label.

The average score is the mean of each product's overall score out of 100 (using the best-scoring variety per product), not a flat average across every variety.
