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.

Lack of attention to customers and their dogs
---- NOTE AFTER READING CUSTOMER SERVICE ANSWER ----25/08/2025
Your answer shows a clear lack of concern for your customers: "your furry friend should not even notice any difference as they continue to enjoy their favourite food." As I clearly stated, HE DOES. A “slight change” for a dog with a sensitive stomach is a big deal, and you should know that better than anyone else.
I can imagine that this change was just to use cheaper ingredients and will mean for us that we have to take on this nice increase of your prices. it is unacceptable.
I am a subscriber, so your claim that the change was “communicated to our James Wellbeloved subscribers and also highlighted by our retailers” is meaningless. Important changes like this should not be buried in dozens of promotional emails or tucked into a tiny flyer with my order. A recipe change is a serious matter and deserves far more care, consideration, and direct communication with the people who rely on your food for their pets’ health.
------INITIAL REVIEW -------
after 4 years with a subscription on the grain-free small breed dry food, James Welbeloved decided to change their recipe without letting any of their customers, letting some of us, with sensitive stomach and allergies, dealing with dogs having terrible diarrhoea.
It has now been 4 days of diarrhoea for my dog and I feel terrible for him.
I tried to contact the customer service and they were not considerate at all.
I find this situation very bad considering that I went for this brand because of their recipe and they simply decided to change it without letting me an opportunity to let my dog adapt to it.
(And after 4 years with this brand I was not expecting to see a price increase of 17 pounds on the order I make monthly. Also without any communication... That was the last straw, I am done)
I wouldn't recommend the brand for it's lack of communication before making huge changes both on their pricing and most importantly their recipe.

Sneaky change to James Wellbeloved
Why have James Wellbeloved changed ingredients in their dry dog food without notifying customers. Like many dogs, mine is allergic to chicken and now their 'novel protein' foods: duck and fish have had the olive oil replaced with poultry fat - this is a cost cutting exercise which is putting dogs with food sensitivities at risk

Really bad customer service
I have always thought James Wellbeloved dog food was great but I ordered a bag of food recently and had the completely wrong food delivered. No worries, mistakes happen but I then messaged directly to them about the issue asking for the correct food and also on FaceBook but no response and that was over a week ago! Needless to say I won't be buying again and also have been left with no dog food and had to buy a different brand.

I have fed my dogs James Wellbeloved…
I have fed my dogs James Wellbeloved dry dog food for the last few years. However, a couple of months ago I opened a bag of the food and noticed there were insects in the food bag. As I had used the same food for my dogs for a few years I reasoned there may have been a problem during the packing process. However, I recently had another James Wellbeloved bag of dog food delivered and on opening found the same type of insects inside the bag. I will no longer be feeding my dogs this food and will selecting an alternative make of dog food. After Mars who make James Wellbeloved dog food replied after they had done an investigation into my complaint where they state they have recognised areas where cleaning needs have been recognised in production and the resighting of lamps and their reduction of the amount, (therefore accepting responsibility and the need for improvements) they offered me a £20 coupon to purchase other James Wellbeloved products. I declined the offer stating that it cost me £43 for the 15kg bag of food which I had to throw away due to the infestation of insects, and had sent them a photograph of one of the bugs and photos of bar code and other codes at their request meaning I had to take the bag out of my bin on 2 occasions, therfore I told them at least I expected them to recompense me the full cost as compensation. Their final response was to inform me as I had purchase the goods from Amazon and not directly from them they were only able to offer me the £20 voucher. This is disgraceful customer service especially as they recognised improvement measures were required in the production process. I will never purchase any products from this company again.

COMPANY FALLS INTO THEIR MOUTH!!!
Having been a customer of this company for many years, I've realized that it's recently gone completely downhill.
I sent a message, and no one bothered to respond. I wanted to contact a regional representative, but I think they're gone.
When I called the company to take care of basic issues, I was told, "I don't know, there's no other option, I can't transfer anywhere, I can't handle anything because I'm just a customer service representative who can't do anything at all." So I asked why some uneducated person with no knowledge or practical skills was there, probably to irritate customers with his own incompetence. A son with no knowledge of anything is so pathetic, and there are no words to describe what's happened to this company. If this continues, it will be a failure, like so many companies that have forgotten about their customers and their pets.

Absolutely shocking customer service
Absolutely shocking customer service. Ordered food over a week ago for my dog. States it has been dispated Royal Mail 24hr tracked. No update whatsoever and has never arrived. I have contacted James Wellbeloved on numerous occasions via online chat, email and even Instagram. No response and if I do get a response it’s not helpful. DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE!!! I will probably never receive my item or get my money back so avoid at all costs! Absolutely shocking service. Will never use again!

Lousy customer service
I set up a subscription for my dog’s food. Realising it was overdue, I kept checking my account and noticed that the due date kept getting put back. Apparently they have stock issues and don’t know when they will be back in stock (despite the fact I could get the same product from Amazon or Pets at Home!). Why hadn’t I been told this? No point in having a subscription if they don’t deliver on time, don’t know when they will be able to deliver and don’t let you know there is a problem.
UPDATE - 8 Aug:
Contrary to what JW said about having notified subscribers, I only received a notification about this today, several weeks after my subscription was due. And contrary to their assurances that the issues were being fixed and that the item should be back in stock soon, it clearly still isn’t.
Also, they have ignored my request (made in an online chat with their customer so-called services on their website) to cancel my subscription.

Used to be good but not any more.
Our 3 cats all loved the turkey and rice adult dry food but since the recipe changed, not any longer. Everything has gone downhill with James Welbeloved since the website overhaul, with the food never being in stock any more and nothing seems to work like it used to subscription wise. It's almost like it's been taken over by another company with no experience of pet food. Look at the recent reviews, nearly all bad. I've had to find a new sensitive food but it has worked out well as it's cheaper.

Antwoord van James Wellbeloved
The warnings are true!
I have always fed my pets JWB as a trusted brand with great results in both my cats and dogs. However my collie who has had it since a puppy has now reacted very badly to the change in recipe, having terrible diarrhoea for days. I didn’t want to believe the online ‘scare mongers’ but unfortunately all the recent warnings and criticism now appears true in my usually young, fit and non temperamental collie.
Will NOT be using it again. VERY disappointed.

My mum's dog had horrendous itching
My mum's dog had horrendous itching, leading to severe skin conditions and bald patches as a result of this ingredient change. Vet bills came to over £500. All cleared up once they changed the dog food. Do Not Buy.

Absolutely disgusting customer…
Absolutely disgusting customer servise!!!
Horrific customer care, or better said non existent! I have had an issue over 4 weeks ago now with an order I placed, went thought as I’ve got the email confirmation but never shipped or arrived here. Had to reach out to them and from the very beginning there were issues as their lines are an actual joke?!? Nobody ever answers for days on!!!! Left voicemails and sent emails! No response what so ever! I had the unfortunate time to speak with Iris and Frenklin via their online chat where I’ve asked repeatedly to get a call back and I was completely ignored and I was tossed around and pushed aways with generic responses for days in a row by the above two agents. Then I spoke with another agent named Kevin who did his absolute best, issued a refund for my missed order and a discount code for the frustration caused. Refund arrived quite fast only for the money TO BE TAKEN BACK!!!!!!!!!!! with no email, no warning NO COMMUNICATION!!!! I then emailed them again that was on 8/06/25 and guess what no response! A few days after that the bag of dog food that we ordered initially popped in our front door….. again without an email, no communication without me reordering it!
Please avoid this company as they clearly do not care about their customer not in the least!
Utterly shocked!
Update!
They have reached out to me, apologised and offered a refund which I received already.
Not sure if I will be going back to them yet but appreciate the kind apology.

Misleading and unnacceptable
We put our dog on their single source protein food as he has an intolerance to poultry. To bolster profits they have added poultry fat to their single source protein fish food.
This is false advertising and making our dog ill. Completely unacceptable! The front of the packet still states single source protein!

Recipe and brand ruined unfortunately
I've been feeding my kitty James Wellbeloved for over 9 years, and he's always been so happy with it, no issues at all. The look and smell of the food used to be amazing: light in colour, with a slight sheen of oil and a lovely aroma (even to me).
Now it looks dull, dry, and has unpleasant smell. I'm currently trying to stock up on older batches from Amazon just to make a gradual transition to something new. It's such a shame.
Cats like mine have extremely sensitive stomachs, and it took me ages to find something that worked for him. It feels unfair to suddenly change a formula that so many pets rely on.

Antwoord van James Wellbeloved
Not happy…
Having used this brand for the past 10+ years (grain free turkey and veg to be specific) one of my dogs became severely unwell on the new version of the food to the point medication was used
There was no indication that the kibble had changed in recipe or size in advance so now I’m left with 8 bags of food I can’t use for my own dogs
I wouldn’t of been so annoyed had it just been the shape of kibble that had changed (although with 2 large breeds the kibble is too small for mine now as the old version was ideal as they had to chew it)
I emailed over 2 weeks ago with no reply and quite frankly I’m done with this brand and have now found a better alternative

adult dry dog food (15kg lamb)
Their adult dry dog food (15kg lamb flavour) gave my husky BLOODY gastroenteritis even after doing a slow and steady switch from the old food. Avoid this junk like the plague!!!!

Do not understand the basics of good customer service!
I have used this brand for years for my pets. Until they tried to 'make things better'. The website update was a total failure - no message that it was happening - no indication that I had to do something different, just 'your issue'! The last straw was the failure to deliver a subscription. No comment, no message of 'your delivery will be late'. I had to go find out they were having shipment issues. When I challenged them - they told me they didn't "have time to send a message" - yet they had time to update my shipping date every day of the delay. I have gone elsewhere - this brand do not understand customer service!

Antwoord van James Wellbeloved
poor service
My dog really likes the food, unfortunately my subscription orders keep getting cancelled or delayed and I can't rely on the service

Have Siamese cat as a new addition and…
Have Siamese cat as a new addition and came with an introduction card offering a free bag of dry food. They definitely got the request because il receiving emails bot one week later and no sample. Sent two emails for help, no answer. Tried their direct telephone number 10 times and never get through. Just asks me to leave a message. For a company of Mat’s status this is terrible service. How not to run a company.

Upset tummy
Have just purchased a new bag of chicken and rice kibble and after just 2 meals my border collie has very bad diarrhoea have been feeding for 6 years without issue, now I feel I need to change to a different brand, such a shame you felt the need to change recipe

Ingredients change without warning, sick dogs
I buy the big 15kg bags of JWB Lamb & Rice, usually some weeks ahead of needing them, as protection against supply problems. My dogs had been doing well on this food, but the most recent one I opened has caused vomiting and having diarrhoea. Looking at the packaging I see the text has changed from simply "lamb and rice" to "rich in lamb and rice", and the ingredients show a subtle but clearly disruptive change to the ingredients, with no warning on the front of the package advising of this change. The new ingredient is poultry fat. This product is being sold under false pretences; it claims a single protein source (lamb) then includes poultry. I now have over £100 of dog food that I can't risk feeding to my dogs. Not happy at all, and I won't be buying JWB in the future.
