“THE best kibble ”
Reviewed 30th January 2021
Our 3 year old 53kg male Rhodesian Ridgeback is thriving on Akela Wholeprey, I cannot recommend highly enough. We started him on an expensive Canadian wholeprey product as I wanted a quality feed with no cheap carbohydrate fillers but when I found this British, Suffolk based product and looked into the nutrition and production (I’m trained in medicine and nutrition) I switched immediately. Bo was good on the Canadian product but he is even better on Akela- healthy, happy and for once firmer stools. He has a sensitive digestion but always settled on Akela and loves it. The only thing I add is salmon oil. The company is great to deal with, delivery is prompt and also free for 3 bags at a time. Perfect!

“Sydney the Australian Labradoodle”
Reviewed 30th January 2021
We’d had a labradoodle prior to Sydney arriving during Easter lockdown 2019. Sydney came with a trial pack of Akela small paws dry mix and as he’d been weened on it we continued with the feed

He’s now 12 months old and has thrived on the kibble. The training has been aided by using the dog treats - certainly a winner

He’s now discovered the extra hard beef scalp which we use after a long walk and wash down to calm and settle him

The Akela range is certainly different and we’ve yet to find something which he doesn’t like! We tried loads of the treats on offer because the range is all natural and that’s important to us

Well done Akela ????????

“Akela Original Small Paws Dog Food”
Reviewed 16th January 2021
Great high quality high protein product that is so much better than Canine. Made from real prime cuts of meat or fish rather than carcass. I changed my puppy up as soon as possible after researching various food brands and their ingredients. It’s shocking how much vet approved brands use grain and ash as large amount of fillers in dried food.
Recommended to me by a friend with same breed that has occasional sensitivity and so far it’s been fantastic.
No reactions, no problem with stools etc.
Great customer service and communication and local agent that volunteered to deliver to my garden during lockdown in lashing rain.

“Great Food and Excellent Delivery”
Reviewed 14th January 2021
I feed Akela to one of my rescue dogs Hattie, who has food intolerances and several other allergies.
Hattie, who came from Romania had been starved and was survivng solely on stale bread and bones from the abattoir . This left her gut and immune system in a complete mess. After having a blood test done to establish what she was allergic to I found she was intollerant of most meats apart from Kangaroo, Venison and Wild Game, All of which are not normally fed grain. I also use Digestive Aid Pumpkin Mix which provides fibre to help with her digestion. She has gained weight, her gut health is in pretty good condition.
So it goes without saying that I thoroughly recommend Akela food . I would also praise the swift despatch, delivery and choice of carriers offered . Thank you Akela for being there with a great service before and particularly during the pandemic. A British firm that you can rely on.

“Best quality at the best price”
Reviewed 13th January 2021
Since feeding Akela my labradors ear infections have improved hugely & no where near as severe. We stick to the large paws Salmon & fish feast 80:20 as her main kibble. I use the medium paws duck for my pet sitting & dog walking clients & small salmon kibble for enrichment toys. I also use the Apple Cider Vinegar, fish skin treats and some tins (pumpkin & 70:30) for licki mats and other treat enrichment. Cannot fault the quality or price & love how responsibily sourced all their products are. Thank you for supplying a great service!

“My miniature dachshunds love Akela ❤️”
Reviewed 9th January 2021
We transitioned to Akela when we discovered that one of the pups was reacting badly to chicken and the other one kept getting inflamed ears, which we thought it might be down to grains. We wanted a clean, simple but nutritious food that would work for both pups and it was actually a friend who recommended Akela to us, as she was feeding it to her working Cocker Spaniel with great results. We started with the 80:20 Scottish Salmon, initially fed a bit less than you normally would, as per Akela feeding recommendation. It greatly improved their digestion, stools and coats and the itchy, inflamed ears went away. We then tried the 80:20 Fish Feast and it’s still great; the dogs love it and we’ve seen the same amazing results in their overall health. We also buy the Snax Stix and other meat treats and chews, like the Wolf Fish Skins and Lamb Ears, end they are all loved by our hounds. Recently we’ve added Akela goji berries and cranberries to our order for a boost of antioxidants and the dogs love them as a little daily treat. We are very pleased with the quality of the food, the fast delivery and great service we get from Akela and I always recommend them to other dog owners!

“Extremely satisfied customer”
Reviewed 6th January 2021
The title of the review refers to Hattie, our 2 year old golden retriever. We've fed her Akela since she was a puppy and she's now a healthy, fit and energetic dog. The food contains top quality ingredients - we feed the dry kibble with some wet food mixed in. Hattie also loves sampling the huge variety of rewards and treats available on the website. The delivery service is always very quick and reliable. We wouldn't feed her anything else.

“Beef Scalp Dog Chew”
Reviewed 2nd December 2020
Our Labrador absolutely loved this. She could smell it as soon as the delivery arrived. I only gave her half as it is huge! But it lasted several hours of constant chewing so it definitely lived up to its description of long lasting chew. I’m always sceptical as she’s an eating machine and normally goes through most chews within minutes. This is definitely worth the money and I will buy again. Happy dog, happy owner!

I am hobby breeder with over 13 years experience breeding dogs. We always get great comments from vets as to the condition our puppies are in at 8 weeks old when they have gone off to their new homes and visited the new owners vet. It is nice to see ongoing innovation with the introduction of new products and although the market is becoming crowded Akela more than holds it own.

“Excellent food, terrible packaging ”
Reviewed 19th November 2020
We love Akela, from their dry 80/20 kibble, their natural treats and their frozen raw range. Our dogs look and feel great. We order on a very regular basis as it the only food we would feed our dogs.
One thing that could be changed if they wanted to is the packaging the frozen raw food is delivered in. Inside the delivery box is a large amount of polystyrene rather than recyclable matting. Surrounding the polystyrene is meters upon meters of non recyclable shrink wrap. Then covering the product itself is frozen water filled plastic.
Surely there is a better way? If companies that supply frozen ready meals direct can be more environmentally friendly with their packaging then surely Akela can be too?

““Personalised” Advent Calendar ”
Reviewed 10th November 2020
My dog absolutely loved Akela 80:20 and all the treats, so I thought I would get her the “personalised” advent calendar ready for Christmas. How disappointed was I to find the personalised aspect was a sticker with her name stuck to the OUTSIDE of the packaging. Once I open this, all personalised elements are gone. I ask Akela Wholeprey what is the point of this? I can’t believe you would lower yourselves to this level. Your products are usually outstanding. ????

“Happy puppy”
Reviewed 4th November 2020
I recently bought the trial raw food as my k7 month old puppy began to refuse his kibble (tried 2 different kinds) and I'd heard of Akela as I'd bought their tinned pumpkin to try and sort out his digestive problems.
He absolutely loved this food and so I've gone for half raw and half kibble as he'll eat it in his raw food.
His digestive problem (very sloppy poo) has drastically reduced and his coat is softer already. Both of us are really happy with this product and after trying their trial pack kibble, I'll probably switch to this too for half and half.

“Akela Puppy/Scottish Salmon SMALL PAWS 70g Sample”
Reviewed 18th August 2020
My 5 month old puppy is quite fussy with his food. He has been on the same puppy kibble that the breeder put him on, and I haven't thought to change it yet, but I can see he isn't really enjoying it very much, so I decided to look up a new kibble. Akela comes up as on of the best kibbles available and it looks to be made quite locally to me, so I was keen to give it a go, We received the sample, and I am mixing a small amount of it into my puppy's kibble (so as not to upset his stomach) and immediately, he is more interested in his food and eats it in one sitting (normally he would be back and forth 3 or 4 times to finish it). I will certainly be looking into buying this food full time now. Very pleased!
