“Excellent food ”
Reviewed 23rd March 2024
I also wean my litters on Akela puppy, gradually increasing to the medium paws. I have wonderful chunky puppies with beautiful coats. Their poo is a good consistency. My adult dogs love Akela. Less mess to pick up . They look great on it.

We have 3 poodle mixes and they thrive on this. They love the small paws chicken and their poos are always well formed. So impressed with the ingredients and glad it is a UK company.
Thank you Akela!

We have been buying Akela wholeprey products for a number of years and have always been very happy. When we did have a rare incident with a damaged parcel (courier's fault), Akela went above and beyond putting it right for us. Wonderful company.

“Dogs love it!”
Reviewed 11th August 2022
One of my dogs had been ill due to a chicken intolerance and so I’d searched for a suitable good quality grain and chicken free food and found small paws duck dry food from Akela. My dogs have never been keen on dry food but they all really enjoy this so it must be tasty. The pieces are very small, the smallest dry food I’ve ever seen and are suitable for the tiniest of dogs but they also do bigger sized kibble so all breeds are catered for.
I’ve also bought the wet food tins and they love that, there’s a good selection of flavours all with a large percentage of meat with fruit, vegetables, botanicals and broth completing the ingredients. Much to my surprise their favourite is the fish feast even though they’ve always ignored previous fishy foods.
Website is easy to use and delivery was super quick.
I’ll just add that since switching to Akela my previously poorly boy with little appetite is now a happy and much healthier dog so I suspect as well as removing chicken from his diet he’s benefitting from a higher quality dog food. I couldn’t be happier!

“You can teach an old dog new tricks!”
Reviewed 4th August 2022
I recently inherited a 9 yr old toy poodle from a friend whose wife has M S and he’d been diagnosed with a terminal illness and wanted to know she would be looked after. Her diet consisted of chicken chews called ,”Munchies”. She ate them as and when it pleased her. Her poo was an awful runny ,mucus ,mustard colour consistency so I knew I had to change her diet. I tried cooked chicken,fish,sausage and even raw food but she just stuck her little nose in the air and looked for the chews. While out walking one day( she’d never been out for walks either so sits down after about 10 mins and wants carried, like a true princess),I met a fellow walker who told me about Akela, so I went online and placed an order for mixed samples. Perfect size for her little mouth and the few teeth she has left. Was a battle of wills for a few days then but I held out and now she eats every piece of kibble in her dish .Her poo is normal ,her breath is better and she and I are very happy ,well almost lol. A healthy, well balanced kibble that I would recommend every fussy pet owner to try. Thank you Akela!

“Healthy dog food and delicious healthy treats”
Reviewed 30th July 2022
I've been feeding my dog Akela since she was 6 months old and she loves it. I've started buying her treats from them too as she put on weight after spaying and their treats are natural. She loves the Snax Stixs in all flavours and the buffalo ears which keep her busy for a while.

“brilliantly healthy and my dog agrees”
Reviewed 21st June 2022
Switched to Akela straight after puppy food. Puppy food always left him with a slightly soggy stool, within a day of going on akela his bowels had firmed up, his eyes were shining, his coat was glossy. Now his coat is super shiny, he's got great muscle tone, and he loves Akela so much, that I use it as treats on a walk. I'm constantly recommending Akela to others. Without doubt the best dog food I've every given to any dogs I've had before. And very surprisingly, doesn't break the bank! I'd pay double for this quality of food for my best friend.

“Great dog food”
Reviewed 15th June 2022
My 7 year old Miniature Schnauzer had gone off her food after her sibling died. She would only eat human food and became overweight as a result. I started her on Akela and she loves it. Over 3 months she has lost 2.5kg and is back to her ideal weight. Also she eats her meal right up, whereas before she used to graze. Her coat is lovely and she is more energetic. Definitely a happier dog now.

“Wet food”
Reviewed 29th May 2022
We have a beautiful 8 year old staffordshire bull terrier with loads of environmental allergies. I was recommended to give this tinned food a try and scrap her kibble diet.
Shes been on this food for just over two months, and cleans her bowl every time we put her food down . Summer has never done this before, so lovely to see she is enjoying her food. ????
Was given some helpful advise when I telephoned in prior ordering . Introduced the kangaroo, then the wild game, both flavours she loves. Also purchased the kangaroo strips as her healthy snack.

“Loved by our Patterjack”
Reviewed 27th May 2022
We started by getting the sample packs and actually used them as treats instead of the main meal as we had her on James Wellbeloved, which she liked. But towards the end of that bag, she started wanting the Akela more than the JW. So we've now ordered the 5 bag bundle to double-check which variety she likes best. Although buying in bulk is much less expensive, the smaller bags also have a really great closure rather than a normal Ziploc and it keeps them all fresh and easy to open/close. We'll stick with Akela for sure because, as well as excellent food, the customer service is top notch.

“Healthy food”
Reviewed 11th March 2022
Our Manchester Terrier has skin allergies that are often triggered by processed food and our Cairn Terrier has a sensitive digestive system which resulted in frequent bouts of Colitis. Our dog trainer suggested we put them both on Akela kibble. They enjoy any of the varieties especially when thrown around the garden which stops the tendency to eat fast and the ‘hunt’ gives the an occupation for half an hour.
The change in the Cairn was quite marked. He immediately lost the lethargy that had troubled us and no more Colitis.
The service from Whole Prey has been excellent with the deliveries arriving within two days of placing an order.
We seldom make recommendations but we would with this product and company.

We were put onto this dog food by the breeder of our dog. I am pleased to say that he is now 5 years old and we have never had a single issue of upset stomach or any other digestive disorder which we have encountered with previous brands. The food suits our dog and they never play around with the mixture or add new things which can play havoc with a dogs digestive system. I would recommend this food to anyone.

“Hoorah. Wet dog food back in stock”
Reviewed 13th November 2021
My dog is a large rescue lurcher. He is young and a high energy pet. This means he needs quite a lot of food each day( in the early days three meals a day). I feed him on a mixture of kibble and wet food. This makes giving him high quality food affordable as good quality ingredients naturally costs more than a food full of cheap grains and water.
His tummy loves the fish feast kibble( so many foods didn’t suit) and I love how nutritious it is for him.
He doesn’t love the wet food he ADORES it and is so happy it is back in stock. Whilst it has been out of stock he has tried so many other brands and none compare. It smells good and you can see the solid goodness as soon as you open the tin. He particularly likes the beef and the kangaroo and comes to tell me how good they are after he has emptied his bowl.
The delivery is always efficient and is good value.

Reviewed 31st October 2021
We have two Australian Labradoodles and have an Akela Customer since 2019. Our dogs were weaned on Akela Dry Food along with Akela Wet Food and they simply love it. One has Salmon dry along with Duck
and Turkey wet tinned, the other Chicken dry along with Wild Game wet tinned. Both dry and wet foods are of an excellent quality and of a price I would expect to pay for our dogs to be healthy and happy.
The service of this company matches the quality of the products - excellent communication, speed of delivery and always on hand for any questions you may have.
This company value your custom and you feel part of an extended family. We wouldn't go anywhere else.

“Best dog food I have ever used.”
Reviewed 9th September 2021
I have been using this food for over 5 years now & my dogs love it just as much now as the first time they ate it. It has good quality ingredients, based on a dogs natural diet in the wild. No cereals, grains or fillers to bulk it out so very little waste. My dogs stools are perfect, they are in good heath & I have recommended this food to so many people, none of whom have switched back once they have used it.
