“I am in the process of transition from Sausage Sanctuary to W&D. When I change the flavour of SS either one or another of my dogs have an upset tummy and all have bad breath. I was surprised when I opened the W&D bag as it looked like pony nuts. Only giving them small amounts yet with the SS kibble and wetting with tin meat but no issues yet. Will review again”
“Great communication, the food looked perfect to me but unfortunately my dog wouldn't eat it. Walker and drake were very helpful and gave me tips to encourage him to try it. Sadly he wouldn't but I was given a full refund which is so kind. Thank you. 😊”
“I have 2 dogs - a boxer who’s food allergies are so bad that he’s been on a prescription diet for most of his life (now 7), and a boxer x who is so fussy she will pick fragments of carrots out from a stew on leftover nights (she loved carrots, just not cooked carrots).
I was looking for a more natural diet (i.e. not biscuits that are so obviously full of fillers and colouring - particularly in the case of the boxer x) but i don’t have the freezer space to accommodate totally raw. After researching i came across Walker and Drake, and i was dubious looking at some of the more critical reviews but decided to give it a try anyway.
Initially there was an issue with the order as my address incorrectly flagged as being islands. A quick email and it was sorted really quickly - great customer service.
Food arrived within a couple of days and i was pleased to see both loved it.
Although they have both seen a marked increase in poo frequency, every time it is solid and healthy looking. Gone are the days of constant flatulence and us trying to scrape up sloppy and funky coloured dog doos :)
My only constructive criticism is that it’s very samey in terms of texture. But overall, i whole heartedly recommend this food and this company if you are looking for food that’s better for your dog but more convenient than raw. Great customer service too!”
“His poo seems realy good on this food . Solid looking healthy stool. But seems 2 poo slot on it . Bit disappointing I get charged delivery tho coz I stay up in the highlands . As I will be buying this for maney years to come. Its not a cheap dog food but hopefully its worth the price”
“My 10 month old has been a fussy eater and it got to a point where she was refusing to eat kibble. She not only eats this but she now plays games with it too and accepts it as treats! I’d say the taster pack was a bit small as once she decided she liked it we had none left especially as she wasn’t keen on the fish flavour. She has been known to change her mind about food after about 3 days but do far do good !!”
“Very quick delivery dogs love it only down side is the amount of poo they have started doing stools are solid just alot of them about 6 a day and and large”
Thank you for your review and comments Gav.
With regard to pooh this is entirely a good news story!
Cold Pressed food promotes movement of fibre through the gut helping it to remain healthy and as a result excess fibre is excreted. You may also notice your dog will drink more water on cold pressed. Dogs are generally good at regulating fluid intake and this water is absorbed into the gut to aid the fibre through. Hence you get plenty of pooh, but it is usually of good regular consistency.
If you compared it to a human diet you have on one hand, for example, a dog on a raw diet would be equivalent to a heavy meat eater, and on the other a dog on a cold pressed diet would be like more vegetarian style of diet where the fibre makes them ‘regular’.
“Very good, order and delivery was prompt. We won’t be ordering as there are a couple of ingredients we wouldn’t want to feed long term due to one of our dogs having food sensitivities. But on the whole a very good cold pressed food.”
“I received the sample packs of dog food and my puppy enjoyed all the flavors minus the oven fish.
Good for using as a training treat and over all good dog food. However does not feel it’s suitable for my puppy as a main dog food.”
“Thank you for your prompt service..after i had purchased the sample kit for my very fussy Standard Poodle Sirius...Unfortunately i will not be making a future purchase as it has not been successful for Si...thanks in advance Julie💋”
“My Jasper enjoyed the samples of food very much. However as he only has a small mouth and is a slow eater I had to cut all the pieces up for him. I may consider changing over to this food when he gets a bit older and his mouth gets more able to chew the pieces.”
“I am in no doubt the food is good, but my fussy Cockerpoo wouldn't eat it , the sample pack she ate the chicken, but when I bought it she would not touch it”
Thank you for your feedback June.
Sorry to hear she changed her mind, maybe she'll change it back sometime soon, or will she eat as treats whilst out and about...
“Rapha enjoys the fish option as he has allergies to lots of food this suits him —never any left so must be good ,
Delivery is very prompt and I love the discount vouchers this is brilliant”
“My Saluki loves them, but he loves most things edible! Still have a bag of his original kibble, but will consider changing in the near future. Wish you did a wet food as I currently feed half and half.”
“My elderly dog seemed to enjoy your trial box of food. But I really need a foid that has something in it like green lipped mussel etc to improve his joints.”
“My dog Jenson has had iGI issues for a few years now. I’ve struggled to find a food that suits him but so far so good! Within a day of starting to switch on to ocean feast his poos were dramatically improved, I think due to the mix of ingredients and the fact you don’t use high proportions of fillers like pea protein. I do mix the food 50/50 with wet food to make it more appealing but he eats the lot! Thank you!”
“The ‘Good’ rating is because it’s early days to judge as I have just got our first delivery and am in the process of changing our 6 month old GSD from Burns Puppy Food. He was fine on the Burns at first but recently has had very loose stools and diarrhoea. As soon as I introduced your food he produced normal stools but a lot of them! He really enjoys the product and so far so ‘Good’. I anticipate that if he continues in this way I will re-rate your product as ‘Excellent’.”
