Dog Food

An occassional nibble of cat food is generally safe, but you should avoid regularly feeding cat food to your dog. Why? Cats are obligate carnivores, so their food is much higher in protein and fat than a dog requires. Regularly eating cat food could lead to an upset tummy, weight gain and pancreatitis in dogs. Dogs need a balanced diet tailored specifically to their canine needs to stay healthy. If your dog has swiped a bowlful, keep an eye on them and contact your vet if they seem out of sorts.

Every dog is unique, so their portion sizes will depend on their age, weight and activity levels. To keep your four-legged friend in peak condition, it’s important not to overfill the bowl. You can find a helpful feeding guide on the back of every James Wellbeloved™ pack or online here. If you’re ever unsure, contact your vet to help you find the perfect balance.

Yes, all James Wellbeloved™ dog food is hypoallergenic! We know how distressing it can be when your dog has a sensitive tummy or itchy skin, which is why our standard recipes exclude common allergens like beef, pork, soya, wheat, eggs and dairy. By using a single source of animal protein and easily digestible ingredients, we help reduce the risk of adverse food reactions. We focus on natural goodness to keep your dog feeling pawfect from the inside out. Always check the ingredient list on the pack to ensure it’s the right fit for your pet.

Most healthy dogs can survive for a few days without food, provided they have plenty of fresh water. However, just because they can doesn’t mean they should. If your dog stops eating for more than 24 hours, it’s time to take action. A loss of appetite can be a sign of underlying health issues, stress or dental pain. For puppies, seniors or dogs with health conditions, missing even one meal can be serious. If your furry friend is turning their nose up at dinner, we recommend a chat with your vet.

A dog's digestion usually takes between 10 and 24 hours, depending on your dog’s size, age and the type of food they eat. Wet food often moves through the system faster than dry kibble. Keeping your dog on a consistent feeding schedule and providing high-quality, digestible ingredients—like those found in our James Wellbeloved™ recipes—helps keep their digestive system healthy.

Kibble is the name for dry dog food shaped into crunchy, bite-sized pieces. It’s a popular choice for pet parents because it’s convenient to store and stays fresh in the bowl. Beyond convenience, the crunchy texture can help support your dog’s dental health by reducing plaque buildup as they chew. Our kibble is packed with natural ingredients and essential nutrients, ensuring your dog gets a complete and balanced meal in every tasty bite. It’s the perfect way to provide all the goodness they need for a healthy life.

Hypoallergenic dog food is specially formulated to be less likely to cause an allergic reaction. At James Wellbeloved™, this means we carefully select our ingredients and avoid common triggers that often upset sensitive dogs, such as wheat gluten, dairy and soya. Instead, we use high-quality, natural ingredients that are gentle on the digestive system.

It’s best to keep dog food for the dogs! Cats have very specific nutritional requirements that dog food simply can’t meet. Crucially, cats need high amounts of taurine, an essential amino acid, as well as specific vitamins like Vitamin A, which aren't found in sufficient quantities in dog food. A cat eating dog food regularly could develop serious heart or vision problems. To keep your feline friend purring and healthy, always provide a complete cat food that is tailored specifically to their unique biology.
