Alfalfa is another common addition to dog food that is relatively unknown by many dog owners. It is also known as lucerne in the UK and is added to recipes to provide minor nutrition like vitamins and minerals. This considerable portion ensures that the recipes contain an appropriate portion of protein and fat to align with cats’ obligate carnivore diet. We are big fans of Salmon and its use in dog food recipes and believe it to be a high-quality fish ingredient. Why they choose not to use these ingredients in their recipes is not known at this time, but it is notable. These ingredients are not considered to be high-quality additions to pet food recipes and are often used to inflate the overall protein proportion in a dog food recipe without shelling out additional meat content.

In addition to their manufacturing locations being somewhat unclear, it is not clear whether all of their ingredients are sourced from within the UK, the EU, or if some are sourced from further afield, such as outside the EU. Carb-rich ingredients: includes all ingredients derived from grains, pseudo-grains, potatoes and other starchy root vegetables, sweet potato and legumes (except whole peas which are categorised under fruit and veg) except for isolated protein and extracted oils. Also includes fibre supplements. Sadly, some Wainwrights recipes make use of vegetable by-products such as Pea Protein and Potato Protein. Wainwrights use a small selection of high-quality meat and fish ingredients in its recipes compared to some other brands.This wet food range also includes many specialized recipes such as grain-inclusive recipes, grain-free recipes, recipes for puppies and senior dogs, and some niche recipes for those dogs with health issues like Joint and Mobility problems.

Wainwrights is sold exclusively by Pets At Home, which has a large retail and online presence in the UK pet market and is well known to UK consumers nationwide. Wainwrights is a large UK-based pet food brand that, according to our research, has been available to pet owners since at least 2006.This is extremely appealing to many cats as it provides them with much-needed variety in their diet as well as a consistent supply. We have very limited information on whether Wainwrights participates in animal testing or feeding trials. Because of this, we can not be certain that they do not participate at this time. Beyond its fiber content, Beet Pulp provides very little nutrition (no protein or fat) and certainly does not contain sugar, despite what the name may suggest.
