My 2 Staffordshire Bull Terriers Levi and Flex have been eating Winalot for a good few years now. They have tried many brands but found this one to be a winner with both my dogs.

Winalot can be purchased from any Supermarket and Local shops to pet shops. Most News agents and off licences don’t tend to sell this brand.
**OVER-ALL** My dog’s love it. The texture of meat is soft but not too soft easy to mash down with a fork. But the Meaty Loaf are not so easy to mash, with this type the meat is a bit soft but more towards the hard to tough side, has bent a few forks trying to mash it. Have found that with this make the dog food doesn’t smell to bad, and the Tuna one does have Tuna in it, not just to make it taste of Tuna, which you don’t often find.
Price = Winalot 12 pack for £3.36 - Pedigree 12 pack for £5.08.
Levi and Flex have had Pedigree before, but have found this to bet all other brands. If you are after mulitpacks then you do need a supermarket. Now where I have 2 dogs and the 12 pack has 3 of each, what do I do?
As they will only have the same or one gets the hump as they would end up having a different one each. So to over come this I have to half a tin between them, when it comes to the last few in the pack. What would be a great idea is to sell mulitpacks of the same one, why not have a 6 or 12 pack of say just Tuna?
Over all, I will continue using this brand and make as the dogs love it. Before I forget, keep the dog food in a cool, dry place or once opened, cover with cling film or place in a tub and use with in 24 hours.
I always say I wouldn’t give my dog’s anything I wouldn’t eat. If I won’t eat it nor will they. Would you?
No I haven’t personally tried it, so I’m taking their words for it.
