Wagg Senior Complete Dry Dog Food – 15kg By Wagg

PetShop.co.uk’s Summary

A complete diet to help support maintenance and weight control in all healthy senior dogs (aged 7+), but unfortunately does not contain the best recipe as it includes cereals as the main ingredient, along with unnamed sources of meat and animal derivatives as the main meat ingredient, preservatives and colourants. Although, the diet is still popular with our customers because it is very cheap and easy to feed to your pet.

PetShop.co.uk’s Full View

Wagg Senior Complete Dry Dog Food is a complete diet for healthy adult dogs of all breeds, which contains 20% protein. It is made to support joint care in senior dogs by added glucosamine, chondroitin and fish oil. Also supports your aging pet’s immune system by added antioxidant vitamins A, E & C and citrus extracts. The main ingredient is cereals – not very digestible for dogs – diets with a meat main ingredient are much healthier. The next biggest ingredient is ‘meat and animal derivatives’ which means various meats and animal body parts – not the best meat source. The diet contains no artificial colourants or flavours, but does include preservatives. Overall, the diet is complete so has everything your senior dog needs, but some ingredients may not be digestible enough and the diet does not have a recipe as good as other brands.

How does it keep my dog fit and healthy?

Maintenance – The diet is complete so it contains all the nutrients your dog needs for their health.
Skin and Coat – Includes balanced omega 3 and 6 levels and zinc for a healthy coat and skin.
Digestion – Contains 3% fibre and yucca to help improve digestive health.
Immunity – Vitamins A, E & C and citrus extracts in the food help to develop a healthy immune system.
Weight Control – Includes L-carnitine which can help weight control in older, less active dogs.
Joint Care – Added glucosamine, chondroitin and fish oil to help joint health.

And, how do I feed it to my dog?

You can just give the food straight to your pet as it is! However, always follow the feeding guideline to know how much to feed.

So, is it a good food to buy?

This is a complete food to support your dog’s health. The packaging is open about the ingredients, although they are not the as good as those in other dog foods. The feeding method is very easy and the product very cheap!

Would it be agreeable with my dog?

Does your dog have bad breath or teeth?

The food is made into small biscuits called kibble which help to keep the teeth clean and remove tartar when the dog bites and chews it!

Does your dog have a dull or rough coat?

The diet contains omega 6 and 3 which aid skin and coat nourishment.
