Waita Freeze Dried Complete Food Bulk Pack: Rabbit Formula review

The three formulas land together in our Outstanding band, which is what three labels this closely matched ought to do. Protein and processing, nutritional balance, transparency and value all read Outstanding on every formula, and the ingredient side could hardly be simpler or more legible. The typical freeze dried food sits in our Outstanding band as well, so these three stand level with the best of their category.

Ingredients, as declared: 75% Rabbit Meat, 15% Rabbit with Bone, 5% Rabbit Lung, 4% Rabbit Liver, 2025-12-10_at_01.12.23.png`):_ Rabbit Meat 75%, Rabbit with Bone 15%, Rabbit Lung 5%, Rabbit Liver 4%

The construction is identical across the three. Muscle meat is the lead entry on all three, 76% for the Chicken and 75% for both the Duck and the Rabbit. Meat with bone follows at 15% right across the range, and organ closes each list. Every entry is named, every entry is percentaged, and there is nothing else in the pack. Lists this short are rare enough that they deserve saying out loud.

Meat with bone at 15% is doing quiet work. Ground bone is where a raw-style recipe gets its calcium and phosphorus, in the ratio the animal itself carries, so a complete food built this way does not need a mineral premix to supply them. The label stops short of printing the calcium figure. That is exactly the number a large breed puppy's owner looks for.

The organ fraction is a proper working set. All three formulas carry liver, and nothing an animal offers is more nutrient dense. It holds vitamin B12, vitamin A and copper in concentrations muscle meat never reaches, with folate and selenium alongside. Heart brings lean protein and taurine, and the rabbit's lung is a lighter connective tissue that adds protein without much fat.

The analysis follows the list exactly. Protein converts to between 60.9% and 64.1% of dry matter across the three, and fat to between 21.7% and 27.2%. The carbohydrate estimate never rises above 5.5%, and most of that is the arithmetic of the estimate, not anything you could point to in the pack. Energy is high on all three. The calorie figures are estimated, not declared, so check a portion against the dog and treat the decimal loosely.

The supplement panel is where a lot of the work has gone. Taurine at 1000mg per kilo supports the heart, and choline chloride at 2500mg the liver and nervous system. Two prebiotics arrive alongside two named live strains: mannan oligosaccharides and xylo-oligosaccharides at 25mg each, Bacillus subtilis at 3 billion CFU and Saccharomyces cerevisiae at 1 billion. Vitamin A at 20000IU, D3 at 800IU, niacin at 75mg and a full B group follow, with selenium supplied in both the yeast and the sodium selenite form at 15mg each.

Rabbit Meat at 75% comes with rabbit with bone at 15%, lung at 5% and liver at 4%. The highest protein of the three sits here at 64.1% of dry matter, and the carbohydrate estimate comes to nothing at all. Rabbit is rare enough in British bowls to count as a genuinely novel meat. Reach for this formula when the usual proteins have been tried.

Each formula comes in one size, a 2.5kg pack. Per kilo, the Chicken Formula is £42.80, the Duck £43.20 and the Rabbit £43.60.

Take a 15kg adult dog in moderate condition as needing around 840 kcal a day (110 × bodyweight^0.75, the standard maintenance estimate). That is about 215 grams of the Chicken at £9.21, 202 of the Duck at £8.73 and 209 of the Rabbit at £9.11. Because the calorie figures are estimates, those portions are a guide, and your dog's condition should settle the final amount.
