Re: Thinking of changing to James Wellbeloved

Ben eats nothing but James Wellbeloved. He's a rescue dog and from what Wood Green managed to get from his old owner, apparently he eats anything (he's a labrador so very true) but anything other than JW upsets his tummy something chronic. Not sure if his old owner's just didn't notice that other dog foods gave him constipation and the like, or whether having his bits chopped off affected him (I've heard it can, sometimes) but, either way, he has JW and he LOVES it. Well, he loves most other things too, but he doesn't get them.

I have heard that as Labs get older, their usual inbreeding problems start to show up in the form of joints, eyes and tummies, but if you keep him on a good quality food early on it should help. JW has no artifical ingredients either, which is good.

Be warned though - Ben has two bowls a day and a big bag costs £43 where I live. Lasts about 5-6 weeks. So it can work out expensive if you are buying a mixture of pouches and dry - although I would recommend looking looking in Pets at Home because they usually have deals on James Wellbeloved like buy 2 small bags get the third free. Usually, I buy a big bag but if they have got deals on I work out how many Kg I'm getting with the deal compared to the big bag and go from there.

One other thing is the seafood flavour gives Ben awful wind.Would advise feeding this is small quantities to check it doesn't have the same affect on Cookie, too!
