Help me sleep thru the night. Not even joking.
May 15, 2018
I switched dogs over to grain free to help control my dog's horrendous gas issues. Super farty in the houzzzzee! We are down to about 1 fart per night now, which leads to a more peaceful sleep for me since I am not waking up in the middle of the night 6 or 7 times to accuse my dogs of trying to gas me.
Kibble is good size, smells fresh and dogs finish the entire portion they are offered.

Just Say NO to Peas!
May 22, 2018
Peas, pea protein, dried plain beet pulp? These are all fillers that provide no nutritional benefit to our mutts. Pea Protein is not considered a beneficial ingredient to be added to dog food. It is a by-product of pea processing and is the pure plant-based protein from Peas. A relatively small amount of Pea Protein can be used to inflate the overall proportion of protein within a dog food formula and is often one of the leading culprits of a technique called ingredient splitting.
Ingredient Splitting – Beware
Ingredient Splitting is a somewhat sinister technique employed many dog food brands including some which are considered high-quality or premium. The idea is as follows. If you split up an ingredient into some sub-ingredients, then those sub-ingredients will appear lower down on the ingredient list.
Consumers have been taught in recent years to pay attention to the top 5 or top 10 ingredients listed on dog food. This technique makes it appear as if less high-quality or nutritious ingredients such as grains, vegetables or plant-byproducts are less abundant. When in reality if all these sub-ingredients were combined they would very likely take a spot near the top of the ingredient list.
The splitting of Pea-Byproducts is one of the most common examples of this technique. Quite often a dog food formula will contain Peas, Pea Protein, and Pea Flour. This technique allows a manufacturer to vastly understate or mislead the consumer on the volume of peas present.

My dogs and I are pleased with this product. My older GSD loves poultry, so I selected the turkey and lentil formula. While I realize that lentils and peas are cheap fillers that provide fiber and carbohydrates, those can also cause weight gain in sedentary dogs. I'm not worried about that. My dogs are active and enjoy hikes with me. What I do like is the 35% minimum crude protein and 15% minimum crude fat.
The kibble is a medium brown hue and a medium size, hard kibble.
Made in the US with US and imported ingredients. I wish Amazon were more transparent with admitting what countries it is sourcing its materials from.

I was feeding my 15 mo old 52 lb, Boxer, Origen Original ($91.00 for 25 lb). According to dogfoodadviser.com, it has 35% protein and earned a 5 star rating. My boxer seemed to like it and was doing well on it. I heard about Amazon's WAG and ordered 2 trial size bags (1 Turkey & 1 Lamb). Dogfoodadviser.com tested it for 34% protein and gave it a 4.5 star rating. My boxer didn't seem to notice the change (I went for the turkey since that's what she was familiar with in the Origen). I can't say she runs for it like it was a bowl full of dried liver treats, but she eats 35 oz per day (1/2 AM, 1/2 PM) and now at 23 mo she weighs 61 lean lbs, has tons of energy and a fantastic coat. Feeding cost is now less than half of what the Origen was and, with Prime, free delivery and 5% - 10% if you set up Subscribe & Save.

I have three dogs (a chihuahua, a heeler/eskimo mix and a german shepherd). I adore them and they get the best food and treats that i can find. We've tried Blue buffalo dog food, Hill's science diet, royal canin in different sizes and flavors. No matter what we tried dogs were never "in love" with their food and german shepherd kept getting gassy. Out of despair we tried purina, bj's brand dog food, petco brand too. No luck. Well finally Wag showed up and our dogs absolutely love it! All three of them eat the same food, making it so much easier to keep up and our german shepherd does not get gas anymore! I don't know what magic this was, but kibbles was the only thing that changed in their diet. Thank you, Amazon! <3

My husband and I switched to this food from another, pricier dog food brand because the ingredients were extremely similar with very little deviation. Our dog has been eating WAG since May 2018 and has never had any problems (no loose stools, etc) and she seems as happy, energetic, and healthy as ever. Her coat is gorgeous, very shiny and healthy, but to be fair she has always had a great coat. She has neither gained nor lost weight on this food and eats it well. The only thing I've noticed is she has some seriously stinky breath, but she has not had an increase in gassiness or any other issues and this is significantly cheaper so I'll deal with the stinky breath!

I have spent countless hours searching through the internet and trying different types of dog food over the past few years for my three dogs. I have tried Blue Buffalo, Merrick & Taste of the Wild. The latter two seemed to be working well for my dogs but the price was getting crazy. I came across Wag and after the transition from the old dog food, my dogs still seem to like it and they are happy and healthy as always. I think Wag has a particularly good price to quality ratio!

As far as I know, my dog lives this. She had been eating blue Buffalo for years and had food allergies and a sensitive stomach. after I received the food, I realized that I really hope my dog likes it because you get a ton of food it's a pretty large amount. Luckily, my dog is excited to eat it, and has healthy Doo doos after. Transitioning her to this food was easy after 2 days. Will be by in again as it is a great food for the ingredients in the price and my dog seems to like it.

I recently switched over to Wag brand since my dog was starting to get picky about his old food, Taste of the Wild. He would leave it some days and I was starting to get worried. I refuse to feed my pup wet food and found out early that he doesn't get along well with blue buffalo so decided to try Wag. He is on is forth bag now and still seems to be enjoying it! From my research it appears to be very good dog food and comparable to the top brands.

I bought this because my vet told me how bad the cheaper dog food I was feeding my dog was for his health. I did a lot of research, and this one was rated as healthy on several sites. The ingredients matched what I was told to look for, and it is less expensive than some of the comparable ones out there. Plus, it comes straight to my door, and I don't have to lug 50 pound bags from the pet store. My dog turned his nose up at it at first, but as I gradually transitioned him to it, now he gulps it down.
