2 New Natural Wet Dog Foods

[Danni n Betty]

Anyone heard anything about these 2 new complete wet foods?

Natures Harvest
http://www.toppetshop.co.uk/hiddenspiderfiles/natureharvest.htm

Got a load of free samples of this a few weeks ago. Betty loves it!
Pretty much the same as Nature Diet....but it PEELS!!! open, so easily!!! No more stabbing with a knife!

The other one is James Wellbeloved pouches.
Cant find anything on google, but picked a couple up from Pets At Home yesterday.
It says its a complete food, or can be used as a topper for the kibble.
For every pouch, you take away 40g of kibble.
Reckon you'd go through quite alot of pouches if you just fed it alone.
Havent tried it yet (well Betty hasnt) will let you know the verdict tomorrow!

I use the Nature's Harvest one, I now buy it instead of NatureDiet or Nature's Menu as I prefer the packaging. The dogs love it. I wouldn't use JWB but that's for ethical reasons.

I have only just seen the Nature's Harvest at PAH last saturday. 

Stocks of the NatureDiet were very low and we were thinking of getting a few to try but as I hadn't heard of them thought I would wait until I had heard some feedback.

Nicola - apart from the packaging are there any main differences between ND and NH?  Maddie won't eat anything other than wet food and I feed her half a packet of ND in the morning and the other half at night.

We've used the natures harvest and Charlie loved it. Know what you mean about the ND packaging!

What is wrong with JWB food?

If I remember correctly they are owned by Pedigree ( but maybe wrong) but I know their parent company do a lot of animal testing

No, looking at the ingredients the meat content etc. was the same and having done a bit of digging it's good quality too. Mine only get it once a week or so but they really like it.

Yes, they are owned by the evil empire of Pedigree Masterfoods which is why I won't use them.

Ahhhhhhhh that explains it then.  I usually stock up with Nature Diet for Melody once every 2-3 weeks but PAH in Inverness only had 4 packs of it in when I went last week, I went back on Sunday and there were 9 left.  They must be phasing them out in favour of the Natures Harvest.  Looks like I'll have to buy that next time I'm there.

I did ask the PAH staff whether they were stopping stocking Nature Diet but they said they weren't but had had problems with deliveries.  When pushed one of the girls said she thought it was due to 'foot and mouth'.

Do they only sell natures harvest at PAH?  How much does it cost and how many grammes per pack please?

I'm just off the phone from NatureDiet as I tried to get the puppy blend yesterday to find PAH were having supply problems yet again, and according to naturediet it has been down to the foot and mouth - shortage of meat supplies at first and now its down to having the food certificated as being cleared.

Supplies over here in N.Ireland particularly affected, but then we have been seeing a lot of empty shelves in the supermarkets due to the restrictions. I too have bought the Nature harvest after being assured that its not produced by any of the companies I wish to avoid buying from and so far Billy has taken to it very well with no adverse effects to either end


Jessnjimmy iirc is a 400gr pack and cost me here in NI 74p


Just to prove that one really does need to get some sleep, I havent got Natures Harvest, Im feeding PAH own brand Wainrights so those prices and pack size are for that and not Natures harvest

[jessnjimmy]

Thanks Caroline, might try and get some for my two

[CarolineL]

Natures Harvest is also 74p per pack and 300g

Our supplier says Naturediet is having production problems again - I bought four cases.

My two liked the JWB wet food, we got samples in work, but the packs are tiny, so they won't be getting it. Mine are both on naturediet.
