Haven't used the food yet but it was delivered quickly, packaged really well and I'm sure it is high quality as it was recommended by my breeder. I'll be purchasing more.

New recipe change causing dog sickness
New recipe change causing dog to throw up after every meal.
Unaware of the new recipe change me and my wife were very worried and perplexed why our dog was throwing up food in solid form and undigested 4 days in a row.
Upon checking online it turns out they’ve added chicken fat to the recipe which is causing dogs up and down the country several issues.
After using this company for 6 years I won’t be returning again, I’m also stuck with a £65 bag of dog food that I wouldn’t pass onto anybody for the same issues it’s caused us.
Profits before anything else I suppose!
……
Below I will reply to James Wellbeloved as they’ve contacted me below and I can’t contact after so I will just add here.
I don’t need to seek any medical help for my dog, I swapped her food to a Eukanuba and guess what, no issues since.
So to say you are always trying to put pets priorities first is a bit confusing to me.
I won’t be using you again for any pets I have.

Changed recipe, AVOID
Changed recipe. Dog has been extremely ill with lots of costly vet visits only to find out down to the recipe change. Extremely angry at James Wellbeloved as a life long customer. AVOID. Will never use their food ever again!!!

I’ve beDisappointed Long-Term Customer: Kibble Size Change Has Ruined a Trusted Producten a loyal buyer of James…
I’ve been a loyal buyer of James Wellbeloved Light Fish dry cat food for nearly five years. One of my cats absolutely loved it and thrived on it — until recently. The kibble size has been changed to match the Turkey variant, and unfortunately, this has made the product unusable for us.
The new, larger kibble is too big for my cat to comfortably eat. She either refuses it altogether or vomits shortly after trying. This is heartbreaking given how well she did on the previous formulation. I purchased 4 x 4kg bags, assuming consistency in the product we’ve relied on for years — only to find it’s now unsuitable.
I reached out to customer service hoping for clarity or support, but received a generic response suggesting I adjust feeding guidelines and check the packaging for kibble size updates. The packaging does not indicate any change, and the response felt dismissive at best.
Now I’m left with a significant amount of expensive food that my cats won’t touch, and a sense that James Wellbeloved is indifferent to the concerns of long-standing customers. A simple heads-up on the packaging or website could have prevented this. Very disappointed.

Sadly bought out by Mars
Sadly bought out by Mars!
NOTICE ALL REPLIES TO COMPLAINTS ARE CORPORATE BRUSH OFFS.
Cust Serv, food ingredients, system - all going downhill rapidly. A successful Somerset based company purchased by Mars - & I believe being shut down & moved to???? Also chicken fat now in many recipes to save money. Trust grain free fish won’t be affected as my dog will get seriously sick? Such a shame to buy & then destroy an excellent dog food! Will warn my vet who was recommending to circulate info to all vets.

Apalling customer service
The company sent me an email to say that my parcel of dog food was being returned to them and that I would be getting a refund. No explanation was given for this. I immediately ordered the food from another supplier. However, the parcel from James wellbeloved was then delivered the next day, again with no explanation. I emailed to say that it would need to be returned due to their mistake. I was surprised and annoyed to hear that I would have to pay for the postage which when I checked would be nearly £20. I was left with no choice but to keep the food in storage for future use. On opening the package I found that the food had a very short best before date of just 7 weeks! I would recommend the food but not buying it direct from James Wellbeloved as their customer service and use by dates are appalling.

I have a Vizsla so James Wellbeloved…
I have a Vizsla so James Wellbeloved seemed ideal being Hypoallergenic, however I couldn't stop her gunky ears. I removed Chicken and Beef from her diet (limiting her to just Turkey in the range) and managed to calm the ears down a bit. I have recently changed brands and her ears have cleared up completely.
Not sure what you have put in your food but it does not agree with my pup

Have never had a problem before today…
Have never had a problem with James Wellbeloved..always buy my cats food direct from their website and consider myself a loyal customer. However ordered 3 x48 sachets of wet cat food and paid just over £122......arrived home this evening to a delivery box with only 1 x48 sachets inside. Now have a sleepless night worrying that I am going to lose over £80 which I cannot afford to do. Very disappointed, unhappy, stressed and worried. Will edit this review to more positive if James Wellbeloved can resolve speedily and either supply rest of order or give immediate refund....UPDATE: Spoke to nice man on phone yesterday morning and two remaining boxes arrived this morning so upgraded from 1 star to 3 star....still.abit uncertain about ordering from the company again though.

New recipe causes vomiting
Feeling a bit lost… my cat has chronic colitis and the only food that we had found that didn’t give her diarrhoea symptoms was James Wellbeloved but her last 3 meals she has vomited immediately. She has been eating this for 8 years no problem. Please bring back the old recipe … Darcy will thank you forever! 😿😿

Great company
Great company and website, great service . Sometimes a bit dearer than other websites but I tend to wait for offers , but next day delivery is free.
Had an issue with one order and they sorted it out straight away .
All three of our cats love this food…
All three of our cats love this food and they all seem to be happy and healthy eating it as part of their diet.
We buy the 10kg bags and are disappointed that it is no longer possible to re-seal these large bags to keep the food fresh with the new packaging that James Wellbeloved are using. Please have a rethink on this!

JWB changed the content and packaging…
JWB changed the content and packaging of their Dry Kibble without any notification, my 2 dogs suffered with sickness, diarrhea, went into septic shock, developed pancreatitis,peritonitis and the older dog lost his spleen. Due to the wonderful vets at TVHC they are both home recovering. This product should be removed from sale in my opinion its rubbish. Mars should be ashamed its all about their bottom line

Alert poultry fat now used in all Wellbeloved product…
Really disappointed as I have been using James Wellbeloved dry dog food for many years as I have 2 dogs that have allergies to Gluten and chicken. The Wellbeloved gluten free product did not include chicken fats so were perfect.
However they changed this in March 2025 without notify or publicising this. It was only as a result of my dogs allergies going into overdrive and the distress it was causing them that I started checking everything to work out what was causing it. Wellbeloved now include chicken and poultry fats in ALL their products so they are now no go products for any pets that have chicken or poultry allergies. When I queried this I was advised that it’s only a coating on the products and won’t cause any reaction! Tell my dogs that and I think they will say differently.
Just wanted people to know as they haven’t broadcast this change which is unfair and unkind.

Terrible company to order from direct
Terrible company to order from direct. Recently migrated their systems and lost my order. Have failed to deliver a second time and have been waiting two weeks now with no contact. Very poor service.

Shame on James Wellbeloved
We have a fit and healthy 5yr old spaniel and have fed him James Wellbeloved from 8 weeks old.
We first noticed an issue when they changed their website, didn’t send our order and we had to chase them. They then ran out of stock and we had to get it from Amazon. The response from JW was very poor.
When we eventually did get food from them our dog was really unsettled and unhappy, he was off his food and had a lot of diarrhoea. After 3-4 weeks I became quite concerned, he was losing weight and refusing to eat it. I started looking at the reviews and realised that JW had changed their recipe.
I switched to a different brand, Forthglade and he changed over night, gobbling his food up and producing solid stools. An altogether happier dog.
Shame on JW, shambolic website, poor customer service, change in recipe without informing customers and increasing prices….would definitely not recommend and have told as many dog owners as I can about our terrible experience.

Fish and veg contains poultry fat
I’m not sure why I received a message that James Wellbeloved want my email address and phone number or my review will be taken off line . The review below is my experience.
Basically saying the fish and veg contains poultry fat which when I bought fish kibble it was to avoid poultry.
Review
The fish and veg kibble contains poultry fat . Just bought large bag of fish and veg for a chicken intolerant dog only to find it making her ill as the whole reason for putting her on it was to avoid chicken and they’ve added poultry fat !!
I’m now stuck with a big bag of the stuff.
It appears rather misleading labeling , making the consumer feel it just contains fish and veg

All the recent reviews are true
All the recent reviews are true. The website is just one big glitch for us subscription customers, been going on for most of the year.
I get my subscription of 1x12kg bag of dog food every 7 weeks. I sometimes need to bring that forwards, or delay to a later date. I had no problem doing that before the website maintenance team came in.
This time I needed to delay it a couple weeks, tried on the website. It seemed like it was done, although glitched back to main menu… Tell me, why and HOW a set subscription to one bag of dog food, at roughly at £56 is delivered with 2 bags, and charged roughly £112. This should roll over, I just don’t understand how a subscription is magically doubled. I was fuming, not only could I not afford it, I didn’t have the room to keep the toddler sized bag of food that I’d delayed, never mind an extra bag to store and pay for!!!!!!
I just left it, I couldn’t be bothered, it had left me short but I just thought it will be handy when I don’t have to pay for another one if it’s already paid for, and I’m stocked up until winter. I made no extra orders to my subscription, I just do not understand how this could possibly have happened.
So obviously I no longer needed the next due order. Went on to cancel, website doesn’t work still. Went on to live chat and asked for this to be done for me, iris the human I finally got to, assured me that she’d delayed for another 7 weeks.
I thought, ok but if the next order is delayed, will that automatically delay the rest 7 weeks after the next order gets to my door. I queried this and she again assured me no it will always be your 7 week gap in between orders unless changed. Thinking I don’t want multiple bags turning up at my door again.
Brilliant all sorted.
Go to sleep, wake up- Lo and behold I get an email your order is dispatched. WOW. Not on my watch!!!! Furious.
STRAIGHT ONTO CHAT. CANCEL THIS NOW, YOU CAN SEE MY CHAT HISTORY ONLY YESTERDAY.
food came, demanded a refund. And demanded again another delay as yet again I had another 12kg bag.
3 bags sat in my hallway blocking my stairs, my fire exit.
I thought I’d visit trip advisor to see if it’s just me with the website. Nope. I think I too will be cancelling everything now and changing food if they are dishonest about ingredients changes. Too much hassle I do not need.
I have removed my custom.
I used James Wellbeloved for many years until recently. The products (dog food in my case) are fantastic - great quality and variety. However, the glitches in the system combined with very poor response from customer service means I have removed my custom.
Many times when I had changed or delayed a subscription item, it either didn't arrive or the wrong item came at the wrong time, and sometimes was delivered to the wrong place. Several times, the bag had been damaged in transit and had been taped closed, but was underweight.
Promised loyalty discounts disappeared and I was given flannel as to why this had happened. Several times, my chosen product was not available. Their website was recently updated which seemed to make everything worse.
I gave them many chances but the final straw was finding my preferred JW product much cheaper elsewhere with a BIG retailer.

Ingredients change, dog is very ill/ no transparency
Shocked and disappointed that JWB firstly didn't advise that our subscription delivery was cancelled and we almost ran out of the dog food as well as decreased the percentage of our subscription and the price went up by £17 so there is now no benefit or incentive. And to top it off, our dog has had upset stomach, runny stool and accidents in the house for a week now when the new batch arrived and we were so confused to why. We did some digging and behold , so many others are experiencing this and it's because JWB have changed their ingredients without letting customers know! I can't believe a company like this would not have the courtesy to be transparent and care for their customers/ pet and they should know that dogs have very sensitive stomachs and when introducing to new foods or the slightest change in their diet, it can really mess them up. Because we order subscriptions via your website, we have 5 unopened packets and we can no longer use them! We most certainly want our money back and to return them as it doesn't agree with our dog anymore! Extremely disappointed, we have used you for 4 years and was happy, but to treat your customers like this is very sad.
