Whites dogfood

mr socco

Anyone tried whites dogfood? Been hearing good things about it and ingredients seem very good indeed. Trying to find something more natural/holistic as my JRT can't stomach the main brands. Was thinking of Burns but seems a little pricey.:D

Groom!

I am thinking of trying it on my 4 also. It reads well on their website but I would like to hear if anyone here uses it and thinks it's good!

I think it's about €39/€41 for 15kg bag including delivery if you order 2 bags. Not bad at all.

using this food for about a yr now and would not use anything else. coats are brilliant, stomachs are great. its free delivery on 15kgs bags, theres no need to order 2, unless of course you need 2. their senior/lite food is absolutely brilliant. i had tried everythingh to make my girl and nothing worked till i tried this. now on the lamb/rice and all my dogs love it.

I have my two on it, and I think it's great. I can't say it's given them a shiney coat because they're wire-haired, but their poos are great, and they have bags of energy. I've found the customer service top-notch too.

speaking of White dog food.....

what ever happened to white dog pooh ?

boxerly

My vet said its very similar to Arden Grange

mymo

I have tried the Lamb and rice with my two and it went down well, they'd still be on it if the place I was getting it still stocked it.
Looking at ordering direct now, they'll send a sample if you ask, I got a sample of the sensitive one and the little dog wasn't keen, but think it was the size of the kibble, its quite big.
One of my dogs has tried most of the better foods but doesn't do well on any except the Royal canin, whites is quite a bit cheaper(almost half the price) but quality is good.

You mean actual white coloured dog poo? When dogs eat too much bone their poo turns white so maybe less people are feeding bones!

Iv been using whites since the start of the summer and I'm happy with it and would recommend it! Poos good, energy good and the coat as good as a wire coat can be.

Been using whites on my dogs. Find it great & was mentioned customer service is great. I got a sample but my dogs werent keen, so I asked the lady on phone if she could send a different one & she sent me samples of the full range. My dogs coats are great, not had any problems with poos & they seem to eat less.

My Lab-Boxer started feeding Whites a few months back after he became a bit picky with other brands. Started him on the Chicken & Rice which went down well but for a change I then tried him on the Lamb & Rice which he devoured. I will be leaving him on the Lamd & Rice for now. The customer service is excellent and with the 15kg bag at €39 including free and fast delivery (2 days max after placing order to my address in Meath.

Highly re-commended

never heard of white dog food , all doe i would reccomend looking at the ingredients such as , whats the first listed ingreadent in the ingredents list . also does it actually say lamb or chicke in the ingredents , and not animal derivitives or by products , and if it actually has more then 4% of meat contant.the law states that dog food manafacutres only have to put in 4% meat contant in to dry dog food so thats all they put in.if its higer then 4% and stated that its actually meat contant in the bag it seems ok again as log as its not full of ceriels and wheats and all other types of fillers , sorry bout the bad spelling im a bit dyslex or how ever you spell it . oh sorry by the way im a pet certifed nutrionist

mymo

For anyone who wants to know, the ingredients look good, wheat free, food in the bag smells nice (for dog food) and my two both liked it and it agreed with both.

What's the best dog food on the market in your opinion?

mymo

@ Mark1310
Whats on the website is whats on the bag, and the food has been around a few years, although I only tried it recently.

ifyou have been working in the pet food industry for 10 yrs and never heard of them i dont know where you have been. whites has been in uk for a good few yrs and been over here awhile now as well. i have been using them for over a yr now and would not use anything else. they dont advertise, they want to keep the costs down, they prefer been recommended by ppl that use the food. i have gave my dogs, u named it ive bought it and can honestly say my dogs have never done as well on any food. even my dog with a bad tummy, my overweight dog(well she was) and my fussy dog all love whites.

I tried to get a sample, as my dog's a fussy eater - I sent an email and they called me back - had a nice chat, then.. nothing,, sent another email but they never replied, so I'm afraid I can't comment on the quality of the food...

who were you talking to? the man or woman? i find their customer service to be 1st class, even to the point that they gave me a 2kg bag of senior/lite free. my girl was just off her target weight and i didnt want to fork out on a big bag, free delivery but have to pay for smaller bags. when i explained this to her she said "give me a few days". next day a bag came by courier, thinking it was sent by mistake i rang straight back up, it happens she sent it as a gesture of good will, never charged a penny. when my girl hit her weight i was also sent samples of all their range to see which my girl liked best. cant fault them at all

It was a man I spoke to - I'd say I just fell through the cracks - it was after a similar thread on here, and I'd say a lot of people got in touch for a sample, as the feedback on the food was very good... might give them one more try, as the chap I spoke to was very pleasant, and seemed to be a dog lover himself...

toadfly

I was going to try Whites but ended up getting Luath 30kg for €80 at the pet expo so once that runs out in the new year think I will try Whites. Should I buy a small bag first to make sure it agrees with them or try the 15kg? Dont know where I can get a small bag locally as it probably costs a lot for delivery of a small bag.

Cliona99

It's €3.50 for delivery of a small bag.

littlebug

My dog is on whites light & sensitive after having a lot of tummy trouble on previous food. We've had no bother at all on this.
I can't comment on customer service/ delivery etc as I get it in a local pet shop. I don't think they do small bags of the light/ sensitive.

yeah if you can try and speak to the lady, she is the one that gets things done. the man usually leaves messages for her. i did speak to him once gave him my card details for payments, a couple of days later it still wasnt takin of my card so i rang up, she did it there and then. think shes boss. if ever i need anything i always wait till shes available. also if bargins are to be got she again is the one

Sorry for intruding, but as some of you seem to buy whites can you tell me what that reward thing is all about. I bought a bag & got an email with a voucher. Dont want to be completely dumb & ask them bout it.

I agree with what you been saying bout the service, I asked for a sample and they emailed saying that the lamb might be better but sent me what I asked for & the lamb. They were right. Lamb was better. They seem to know there stuff

With the voucher you have two options.

Save up the vouchers and when you have 10 you can redeem for free 15kg bag.

or

Use the voucher to get 10% off the purchase price. Bear in mind when you do this you will not get another voucher as you will not have paid full price.

Hope that helps....

cora2

Thanks for that. Might as well save up. Just entered the competition. That harveys point looks well fancy. Knowing me though, couldn't win if i the only person who entered!!

gerbio

Its only 8 vouchers you need to get for your free bag, so if you work out the maths your better saving them

must give this dog food a try when the royal canine runs out

They are based in Craughwell.
The Dog Company in Bushy Park (Woodstock) stocks Whites, too. Maybe that's an option.

the pet shop in Tuam also stock it, and I think Bubbles and Barks in Bearna does too.

mr socco

I ordered for the first time on Wed night and it was delivered this morning. Delighted with the customer service so far - they have been very helpful

mark1310

its all about how the foods are made and the quailty of ingredints used to make it. all teses foods are all cooked at really high temptures which kill all the good bactrias in them.

mark1310

Dont get me wrong , when you read the details about the food on there web site it does semm pretty good . im not knocking this brand as i know notting about it but i would also be looking at how its cooked and produced
