JWB only gives the % of the top 3 ingredients, Wainwrights gives the % of ALL the ingredients. I assume that's what they mean?

Look at JWB they don't show percentage of many of the ingredients, they just state what they are, that's all i meant by it

I would point you to the PFMA site which clearly states the labelling requriements, anything under a certain percentage does not have to be declared! O

Same is true for food designed for humans too, they are not hiding anything, and in any case they are not stating ANY of the quanities exactly, just giving a "minimum", personally I would be interested in maximums in all brands!

What i meant by delivery not being practicable (perhaps not right word to use) is that if we were not in there is nowhere to leave the food & no near neighbours to take it in.

Having a quick comparison between the foods is that the one thing that sprang out to me was WW mention potato protein, perhaps they use potato as a bulking agent? Although i dont tbink they use it as a bulker? If so perhaps this is what Harvey is missing

The other thing perhaps is that Harvey was on the chicken WW whereas at present he is on the JWB Lamb altho i wouldn't have thought it would have made the difference it has

Someone mentioned Fish4dogs - how does it compare to WW & JWB?
