Wild Pet Food Review : The Dry Alternative to a Raw Diet for Dogs

Do you love the idea of raw feeding but worry about the mess, hygiene or the freezer space needed?

We understand, and whilst raw dog food offers many nutritional benefits, dry dog food has its own advantages.

Wild Pet Food could be the perfect solution, as it has all the health benefits of raw with the convenience of a scoop–&–serve dry dog food.

Let's be honest, not everyone has the room for a freezer full of dog food. Maybe you have small children and are wary of the potential hygiene issues surrounding raw meat or simply don't want the mess or odour of raw food.

Wild Pet Food uses UK sustainably sourced proteins like meat, poultry and fish and then applies a cold pressed technique to gently turn the raw food into dry pellets whilst maintaining the high-quality nutritional value.

It's this process that really sets Wild Pet Food apart from other, better known, extruded high protein dog foods such as Wolfworthy, Orijen and Eden.

Awarded an exceptionally high 89% on the nutritional website - All About Dog Food, we were keen to take a closer look at what Wild Pet Food has to offer dog lovers.

Wild Pet Food Review

  1. The Food

Raw dog food is incredibly popular, and for good reason! It mirrors the natural diet of wolves, packed with protein and nutrients. Plus, it's limited ingredient list makes it ideal for dogs suffering with sensitivities and allergies.

However, a raw food diet for dogs comes with its challenges. Storage can be a hassle, especially with those larger orders. Let's be honest, handling raw meat can be messy and keeping it cold while travelling is a real pain.

So, how can you get all the benefits of a raw diet without the fuss?

Wild Pet Food may just be the answer you're looking for.

This isn't your average dry dog food! Wild Pet Food takes the goodness of raw ingredients, dehydrates them, and then uses a cold press technique to create delicious, digestible pellets.

Cold pressed dog foods are growing in popularity because they are formulated at lower temperatures than traditional dry kibbles. Extremely nutritious and healthy, they are cheaper than the majority of fresh and raw alternatives.

Packed with protein and power, the Wild Pet Food range boasts 80% meat, 20% veggies and superfoods, all sustainable sourced right here in the UK.

For dogs with sensitive stomachs and allergies, it's worth mentioning that Wild Pet Food is 100% grain, gluten & legume free.

Plus, with fewer fillers, you're bound to notice a difference in your dog's poos (smaller and easier to scoop that poop).

And here's the clever bit: Wild Pet Food is remarkably transparent. They list ingredient percentages based on the dehydrated weight, giving you the real deal and cutting through the marketing jargon ( I don't need to tell you the lengths some brands go to to make their foods sound healthier than they are!)

This means you're feeding a true alternative to a raw 80:10:10 diet.

As it's dry, Wild Pet Food will store for longer periods, there's no defrosting required and it's easy to portion with no mess or odour associated with raw dog food.

So what did we think in testing ?

Initially, we thought that the packaging wasn't the most striking. However, it's clear that Wild Pet Food prioritised creating a high-quality dog food over flashy aesthetics. This is a commendable approach which we applaud.

We switched Freddie to raw foods many years ago because we were tired of throwing away half filled bowls of kibble.

A typical Cockapoo, he was exceptionally fussy and simply turned his nose up at dry dog food. We've never had that problem with raw and his bowl is always licked clean. We were interested to see what he made of Wild Pet Food.

Well it's fair to say, he loved it, woofed it down - leaving an empty bowl every time!

Our picky pup ate the Wild Pet Food in exactly the same way he eats raw dog food, this would be a game changer when travelling - so much easier to take dry food with no cold storage issues.

We're not the only ones that love Wild Pet Food, they've earned a TrustPilot rating of 4.8/5 and have delivered over 1 million meals and counting.

The only blemish we could find in an otherwise flawless performance is that the Wild Pet Food bags are not resealable. We're aware it's a small point to make, but make sure you have something to seal the bag to keep the food fresh, especially if you opt for the massive 18kg bag !

2. Ordering

Wild Pet Food is available online so you can enjoy the luxury of having your dog food delivered direct to your door and even better - shipping is free !

Their recently extended range offers seven recipes to choose from, all suitable for dogs of all ages and sizes : ⭐️ Beef

Each recipe is available in 4 different size recyclable bags - 2.5kg, 6kg, 12kg & 18kg.

We think that the 2.5kg bag provides a great opportunity to make sure your dog likes Wild Pet Food before you buy a money-saving larger bag.

Of course one of the best things about dry dog foods is you can order a massive money-saving bag with no freezer or fridge storage concerns.

Looking for a budget-friendly way to give your dog a taste of different flavours?

Their Variety Bundles offer significant savings compared to buying individual bags. Choose the Large Bundle with 4 x 6kg bags or the Small Bundle with 4 x 2.5kg bags to save money and keep your dog happy.

That's about it, save for the fact that when looking into the daily or monthly cost, be aware that Wild Pet Food is one of the most nutritionally dense dog foods on the UK market. As a result, you will be feeding smaller portions than other dry foods.

Our Verdict
