Feelwell's Feelwells Grain Free Adult: Beef review

Name: Feelwell's Feelwells Grain Free Adult: Beef
Brand: Feelwell's

71/100Excellent

DryAdult

Flavour

The same honest grain-free kibble built four times with a different animal each time. What sets it apart is the meat broken into parts: every label prints its fresh and dried shares separately, so the headline can be checked. The beef and chicken sit in our Excellent band, the lamb and the salmon and trout in Good.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who want the headline meat broken down
Dogs kept off grain
Rotation feeders and multi-dog homes, since only the animal changes
An unsettled gut. Beet pulp sits beside dosed FOS and MOS
Big dogs and small, with a guide from 1kg lapdogs up past 40kg

Worth watching

An omega 3 supplement with no source named, so ask the maker before treating any as fish free
Peas doing real work in each, for a dog with legume trouble
Fresh meat leading every headline, so read the dried share

Four recipes across Excellent and Good. Typical dry food: Good.
