Posted on 8th February 2020 Consider Trading Standards....
My dog has been on Wainwrights for approx 2 years, and has never had problem.
Four weeks ago, he began to suffer from diarrhoea. I assumed he’d picked something up and took him to the vets. Ten days of rice, egg, cooked chicken and antibiotics seemed to sort him out - so I very slowly reintroduced the kibble (turkey and rice) ...and within two days he was back to square one.
I’ve returned the bag to Pets at Home today, who to do them justice were good and refunded with no quibble.
A note of caution though. My dog trainer tells me a lot of dogs are coming down with tummy bugs at the minute (wet, warm winter is harbouring bugs - as well as lots of mud). But, I still feel that it’s no coincidence that his tummy flared again when the kibble was reintroduced (I reintroduced him to his wet food after this and his stools were normal).
So, I’ve lodged a complaint with PaH, kept back a sample from the bag and if I don’t hear within 10 days, will consider contacting Trading Standards (will also point them towards reviews here). Advise others to do the same. We might all be wrong, but if the stuffs not tested we’ll never know!
