Every dog is different, and no feeding decision is ever one-size-fits-all. That's why we gather reviews from real UK households — urban flat dwellers, countryside walkers, retired dogs and young puppies alike. Below are detailed accounts from owners who have fed Wolf of Wilderness for at least three months. Their experience is the best guide to what you might expect yourself.
Reviews at a Glance
Featured Stories
Emma, Bristol — Freya, 4-year-old Cockapoo
"Freya has had an itchy tummy since we got her. We'd tried three different 'sensitive' brands before, and nothing quite worked. Within a month of switching to the salmon dry, the redness under her belly faded and she stopped nibbling her paws. Her coat is softer than it has ever been. The only downside is that she's started dancing in front of the cupboard five minutes before each meal."
Rating: 5/5 — Using Blue River Adult dry food
James, Inverness — Finn, 7-year-old Border Collie
"Finn works on a sheep farm and needs real fuel. Our old kibble was full of wheat, and he'd be starving by mid-morning. The Classic Adult keeps him going all day. I also notice his weight is much more stable now — we were always adjusting portions before. Stools are firmer and there's less gas, which matters when you're in a Land Rover with him all day."
Rating: 5/5 — Using Classic Adult dry food
Priya, London — Bodhi, 11-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
"Bodhi has a sensitive tummy and his teeth aren't what they were. The soft pouches have been a lifesaver. He finishes every meal without fussing, his stools are steady, and he seems to have more energy on our walks. At his last check-up the vet said his weight was ideal and his coat was the best it had been in years."
Rating: 5/5 — Using Soft & Strong pouches
Tom, Manchester — Luna, 10-month-old Labrador
"We switched Luna from the breeder's brand at 4 months. I was worried because puppies can be sensitive, but the puppy recipe settled her within a week. Her growth has been steady — the vet was happy with her joint development at the 9-month check. She now goes mad when she hears the scoop."
Rating: 5/5 — Using Wild Hills Puppy
Sarah, Cardiff — Biscuit, 2-year-old French Bulldog
"Biscuit has had every skin problem in the book. Chicken didn't agree with him. The lamb junior followed by the lamb adult has transformed his coat and calmed the itching. He's also not windy, which anyone with a Frenchie will know is a small miracle."
Rating: 5/5 — Using Green Fields Junior then Adult
David, Edinburgh — Bramble, 13-year-old Rescue Lurcher
"Bramble came to us with terrible teeth and low weight. We mix the duck soft pouches into slightly soaked kibble and he devours it. Over six months he's put on three kilos of healthy weight, his coat has filled out, and even his sleep seems better. At thirteen, that's everything we hoped for."
Rating: 5/5 — Mixed dry and soft feeding
Olivia, Leeds — Marley & Max, 5-year-old Cocker Spaniel brothers
"Two Cockers means twice the food budget, so we were nervous about premium brands. Honestly, the Blue River bag lasts longer than cheaper options because we feed less and they waste nothing. Their ears are cleaner — both used to get yeasty ear infections, and we've had none in eight months."
Rating: 5/5 — Using Blue River Adult
Henry, Brighton — Pebble, 6-month-old Miniature Dachshund
"Our breeder recommended we look at grain-free for Dachshunds because of their long backs and sensitivity to weight gain. Pebble loves the puppy chicken, and she's growing at a slow, steady rate, exactly as we wanted. Her little belly has never been upset."
Rating: 5/5 — Using Wild Hills Puppy
Common Themes in Reviews
- Firmer stools within three weeks — the single most mentioned change
- Shinier coat and less dandruff — usually by the 4–6 week mark
- Fewer ear infections — especially for Cockers, Spaniels and Poodle crosses
- Steady, controlled weight — easier portion management, fewer begging sessions
- More enthusiasm at mealtime — even previously fussy eaters
What Owners Say Could Be Better
We read the less glowing reviews too. The most common notes are:
- The kibble shape suits medium-to-large dogs best — very small breeds sometimes prefer the mini version or a bit of soaking
- Some dogs need a longer 10–14 day transition rather than the standard week
- The premium pricing is higher than supermarket brands (though many note the lower daily quantity evens it out)
Feedback like this shapes how we improve recipes, update packaging, and write guidance like our feeding guide.
