“Buffalo ears 6 pack”
Reviewed 20th June 2020
Our two dogs loved these. They were all the same size and very large, so no one felt hard done by!
Great value for money and of course totally natural.
I would definitely recommend them as healthy tasty treat for your dogs
The dry dog food is also very good, our GSD tends to get quite an upset stomach, but hasn’t had any problems since being on their dry food.

“Salmon dry food”
Reviewed 17th June 2020
We have eight medium - large dogs, some are very fussy eaters. Yesterday evening we had a trial run of the salmon food (before committing to buying a large bag) only one didn’t eat her meal. She had been scared by thunder and not even a digestive biscuit could tempt her to eat. I bought the large paws which is a reassuringly large size for my greyhounds, lurchers and staffy as I have always been worried about a choking hazard with the gobblers amongst them. We are changing from a wet to dry food and so far, so good. Trying the duck this morning so fingers crossed that it goes well!

Reviewed 11th June 2020
I have changed my dogs to this food and they love it, even the cat tries to steal it so may need to try the cat food too!
I also got the veal ears for them to try and they were another hit. I think I have food a new company to purchase my dogs food and treats from. And I can't even fault the price or delivery. 100% all round

“Snax Stix - 100% pure single protein round sticks”
Reviewed 5th June 2020
I am delighted with my box full of 100% pure kangaroo sticks from Akela, (snax stix) at a very reasonable price. I am so glad to have found them, as my dogs have allergies and colitis and we had been relying on another supplier whose sky high prices became unaffordable. I told this supplier we'd found someone with the same product but better price and they insisted they were the only supplier. Not so, the Akela 100% pure meat single protein treats are very high high quality and look almost identical. It's so important that dogs with allergies etc can still have treats and keeping them affordable means more dogs with these special needs can enjoy them. So I am very grateful to Akela for their ethical business model, putting animals and owners first. Thank You!

“Partner couldn't believe the price”
Reviewed 2nd June 2020
We made the switch to Akela this month after we found out some rather unflavourful information about our usual supplier and this brand was one named several times by a dog trainer we follow as being of good quality. I've never seen this particular dog so eager to work for food in his life. Not only is the quality of food absolutely astonishing, but the level of care in their customer service is second to none, the company are very easy to deal with and will always keep you in the loop from the moment your order has been recieved to the second it hits the doorstep. Raw food, traditionally, has a notoriety of being inaffordable for most people, this company however, offer a phenomenal price without ever seeming to sacrifice any quality of ingredients which makes their brand inherently great all around, and when placing my first order; my partner thought I was going to be regularly spending at least £200 on just dog food. It didn't even come to half of that for over twice our usual amount.

“Ask me what to feed your dog? ”
Reviewed 19th May 2020
Review from Marley Roberts (Facebook) Axam102 youtube, so you can see the results. I have two sporting dogs which have a lot of energy but sadly my bitch has a very sensitive tum. I spent months trying out different foods, my vet who is amazing was at his wits end. Eventually I found two that didn't upset her stomach to the point she was pooping gel which was heartbreaking... Akela was recommended by a fellow racer and we haven't looked back since. Both dogs have a nice lean muscle mass and amazing endurance... coats are fantastic... when not all over my stairs (husky crosses and shedding season) They both enjoy the food itself and have small compact stools. The company itself have always been flawless, 99% delivered on time and when not plenty of communication explaining why (covid and people stocking). I always get the feeling that the company cares about the dogs it feeds which speaks volumes about them.

We swapped to Suffolk Duck as we suspected our pup might be sensitive to chicken and she’s really settled onto it brilliantly. She loves it, has nice firm stools and doesn’t seem to pass wind at all. She’s in fabulous condition about we often get compliments about how shiny her coat is.

“Amazing product and service!”
Reviewed 9th May 2020
I came across Akela on a dog food comparison site - I was gutted to learn that other dog foods are so low in nutritional value so I feel much better knowing Akela is packed full of goodness! My vizsla loves the salmon - and it's so handy to go from the small bites to medium bites as your dog matures from a puppy. We also order the fish and potato treats which are the perfect size for puppy training! We treated our girl to one of the deer antlers - at first we thought it was tiny for £7 but they last for ages and she adores eating it/flinging it across the room! Delivery is super fast!

Delivered within 2 days even in pandemic times. Great value for money as it lasts longer because it has no pointless fillers just top quality nutrition. My chow loves it and has never suffered from skin or tummy problems. We take some of his daily rations on our walks - and other dogs enjoy the taste too!

“Food even my husband is tempted by! ”
Reviewed 10th April 2020
I have a 6yof Gsd x Lab who has a very sensitive stomach & suffers badly from arthritis in her front elbows. I've tried her on numerous foods over the years and she was often picky. I started her on Akela 80:20 dry kibble in Nov last year & have been very impressed with it. It also suited Tali. Recently I ordered tins of the wet food to mix in & wow, she adores it! Her bowl is empty & her stomach is settled on it. The wet food smells so good that my husband nearly helped himself to a can of the Angus beef! It's not cheap but the quality is fantastic. The kibble is very competitively priced considering the excellent quality (when buying direct from the company).

“So glad we found you”
Reviewed 29th February 2020
Our Lab has been on Akela for over a year now and we have found it excellent. Real sausage type poo and no funny tummy any more. Found Akela at a local country show and the lady gave us a free sample. Max is very fussy but he took to this immediately. We purchased a 10 Kg bag to try at home and found it was just right for him. Very rarely does he leave even one biscuit now. Very easy to use website and quick efficient delivery. Bit pricey but worth it for the peace of mind. You get what you pay for in this world. Thank you Akela

We use Akela WholePrey wet and dry dog food as recommended by our breeder.   We have an eight month old Havanese puppy and she is thriving on both the wet and dry dog food.   The quality of her coat and her energy levels are testament to the fact she is getting the very best start in life.  We fully intend to feed our Havanese Akela wet and dry food her whole life through.   It is important for us to know we are doing our best and only providing her with the best quality food we can.  We have no hesitation in recommending Akela WholePrey.   We have also contacted Akela WholePrey for feeding advice on several occasions and they have always replied to us both quickly and comprehensively.   It is important for us to know we are on the right track with her feeding regime as she continues to grow and the advice we have been given is invaluable.   Again, we would highly recommend Akela WholePrey for the interest and care they take.

“excellent company to buy from”
Reviewed 24th December 2019
Since starting our chocolate Labrador on the Suffolk duck dry kibble he has enjoyed all his meals. However, he did start with a grumbly tum and the vet advised a half wet and half dry diet. So we bought the tins of meat to go with the kibble and the variety of choice is excellent. We particularly like the pumpkin digestive aid which appears to help if Fynn who is 11 feels off his food - which does not happen very often. The fact that Akela also provide plastic lids for the open tins keeps the contents fresh and the measuring cups help to keep the portions within his weight parameters.

“Desmond's choice ”
Reviewed 11th December 2019
Our English Cocker Spaniel has been enjoying this food since we first started feeding him on it as a result of the breeders recommendation when we first brought him home two years ago as a puppy. We mix the biscuits with various non-rocessed products so he has a varied diet. Ordering has always been easy and delivery prompt. However, on this latest occasion, the courier company delivered to a wrong address. However, Mandie came to the rescue and promptly refunded the additional expense I incurred in having to pick the order up myself and made sure everything was OK. Great customer service, thank you Mandie.

“Best food for my GSD's sensitive digestion”
Reviewed 29th August 2019
We adopted our GSD X lab last year and was on a very cheap brand of food and as a result, his bowel movements were not as they should be. We tried 3 other foods before I was recommended Akela by a friend, I was almost to the point of trying a raw diet... This stuff is magic. I can now pick up poop using only one hand in the bag! It was never firm enough for that previously.
As for the taste, he is half Labrador and therefore eats anything and everything. He is still interested when I use it for treats in walks - I order a bag of Medium paws for this. He is always excited to get his meals.
I was looking for something that had a high meat content and low carb for his sensitive digestion and this fit the bill perfectly. Plenty of protein and has much, much smaller meals than when he was on cheaper food! He is energetic, happy and has a lovely shiny coat, 10/10 would recommend for GSDs, thank you Akela!

“Fantastic dog food”
Reviewed 15th August 2019
Our two rescue collie cross-breeds were terribly under-weight and suffered consistently from very runny stools when we got them. We tried quite a few other brands without success until, after some research, we switched to Akela 80:20 Original, which they’ve been on for the last eight months. And what a difference! They are now at a good healthy weight with glossy coats and all the digestion problems have disappeared. Most importantly, the dogs love it.

I’d also like to highlight the fantastic service I’ve had from the company on the couple of times I contacted them with some minor enquiries about delivery. The response was quick and efficient and on the last occasion particularly, the help given was over and beyond what I could have expected.

I’d whole-heartedly recommend Akela - they produce great products backed up by a great team.

“Great British dog food!”
Reviewed 13th August 2019
Our 16 week old mini Dachshund pup was being fed what we thought was a 'Premium' brand kibble, I stumbled across a dog food nutrition review website to find that in actual fact, it was far from 'premium' as far as nutrition goes. Akela dry 80:20 food scored over 90% so I quickly contacted their customer services department who very kindly sent me a sample pack, my pup loved it from the start! I ordered some more straight away and it was quickly delivered, she's been on it for nearly 2 weeks now, she now eats all her food in one sitting whereas she only used to pick at it, she is thriving, her coat looks amazing and she seems more content after meals. We are so glad we found Akela Wholeprey, a British company doing a very good job indeed! Thankyou.

Reviewed 7th August 2019
We currently have a 14 week old Havanese puppy and are feeding her a mixture of wet and dry Akela food. She loves it and is always so excited at meal times. The quality of the food is excellent and this is borne out by the health of our little Havanese. Her coat is shining and she is putting on weight at a gradual rate. We are happy she is getting an all-round balance in her diet and intend to carry on with Akela for the rest of her life. We were recommended Akela by our Breeder and we would, in turn, recommend Akela to everyone who wants to give their pet the best pure ingredients in their food.

“Top of all Dog Food.”
Reviewed 15th July 2019
I got my Rescue - a small Bichon Frise x Maltese - just before he was 7. He’ll be 11 this year.
He’d been fed on a cheap and nasty tinned dog food with no nutrition whatsoever.
A friend had recommended Akela smlal Paw dried biscuits, but he had quite a few teeth missing when he arrived here os I subsequently plumped for a wet, cooked, tinned food.
Easy to store and a 400 g tin lasts him for five meals of 80g per meal.
He isn’t particularly discerning when it comes to his food - he loves all food, just like his owner - but he positively wolfs this down and I’ve had to buy slow feeder bowls in an effort to stop him eating it so quickly.
He gets so excited at his meal times that he prances around like a ballerina and races me to his feeding mat
