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.

We have a VERY spoiled, picky 2.5 year old, 60 lb. Catahoula that gets part kibble & part people food (meat/fish/sweet potatoes). Have to coax him (first with tidbits on his own fork...yes, spoiled) to eat any of his food. Tried LOTS of brands and before only one he would eat with minimal coaxing was Rachel Ray Nutrish. Although 5 lb Wag more expensive per lb., the 30 lb. bag runs about $1/lb less than Rachel Ray. Plus Wag Salmon & Lentil had about 10% more protein. When Wag arrived held out a handful. NO coaxing needed. Then, quickly gobbled down second handful and tried to get into the bag. Normally, keep his food bag on the floor. Had to put the Wag Salmon up high enough (almost 5') that he couldn't stand on his hind legs and reach the bag. Definitely, will be buying more of this. Great job, Amazon.

We are a bag in and no adverse reactions. I have a 10 year old boxer with a very sensitive stomach so I was really worried about switching him. I compared all of the ingredients of Wag to what I was feeding and the comparison held up, plus, Wag doesn't have a couple of questionable ingredients that the other food had (that affects kidney function). After the initial change over, the boxer has not had any stomach issues or excess gas, which was a problem with other foods.
I have 4 dogs and we are 4 for 4 for them liking this. When the bag arrived I opened it and one of the dogs actually started eating straight out of the bag, he has never done that with the other food we were feeding.
To everyone who is saying it is pricey, I am wondering what food you were feeding. A good food isn't cheap, and Wag saves me $30 per bag over what I was feeding and I feel confident feeding Wag to my fur kids. I did the research, I did the comparisons, and I am happy with Wag.

Wow, my dog loves Wag Dry Dog food. Only bad thing - it cost so much more than the Hills Science Diet.
No, price per bag or per pound is not higher. It's just that now my dog eats more of it, so we go through more of it, and I have to buy more of it. Try the salmon. (Not you, have your dog try the salmon.)

Out 5 1/2 month old 35 lb American Pitbull Terrier (Bully) Remington loves this dog food. He would eat an entire bag if we let him. His stools were soft and a little mushy when we were feeding him another high rated dog food brand. They are now firm. He's gaining weight at the rate of 1 1/2 lbs a week.

Our dogs have been using Noutrish for more than a year and like it but I tried Wag. We cook for the two dogs for their main meal and leave kibble out for other food. They love Wag, They ate it all up and they even seem more lively. They are older dogs (13 & 14) in a breed that lives 14 or 15 years and were slowing down. I would recommend this for anyone with medium or small dogs.

My mini poodles love this new food. We discovered they are sensitive to potatoes and sweet potatoes as well as grains. It is hard to find a potato free and grain free dog food that is also free of beef, lamb and other red meat varieties, but includes the fermented pro-biotics. One has been very sensitive to the point of a dull thin coat but now she eats great, her coat is thick and healthy. We picked the puppy recipe because it is chicken based and small kibble while being formulated for puppies AND adults. They can eat Wag's larger kibble recipes, but my sensitive one of the two can't tolerate an all turkey recipe.

The reviews were good, the ingredients list looked good and it was cheaper than blue buffalo, so I decided to give it a try. This is the first dry food that my dog has really liked. Usually she gets some wet food because if there's only kibble she may go a day without eating because she wants to hold out for something good. I've tried a bunch of different foods and it's always been the same. This is the first time in a long time that she's started eating before i could get the wet food added. It wasn't a fluke either, she keeps doing it. I hope you guys start making wet food. If I could find something as good as the I And Love And You grain-free stews for cheaper that would be amazing.

More important than quick shipping, and value...quality, safety and trust always come first. So on those points alone, WAG is a winner. Now, if only our 4 "kids" dig the flavor, we're all in. From the first breakfast, all 4 ate every morsel with gusto. The oldest boy is picky to a fault. We ALWAYS have to thoroughly mix in a spoonful of wet food or
he'll walk away from it. I tried this WAG right out of the bag and he scarfed it all down.
So Read the ingredients and you'll be impressed. This is good stuff! I'm completely sold on WAG.

So far, so good - our 50 pound lab/chow mix is enjoying(!) the turkey and we'll move on to the salmon next week. Previously, he's been on Rachel Ray's Nutrish (turkey/venison mix). Wag is a little higher in protein!
