“No..sorry - I dont think its a good food.”
Written on: 22/04/2013 by Haywardsdave
My staffy has put on a lot of weight with this food. I have a feeling it is high in fat. I have been feeding her Bakers for about a year but she has had some health problems and put on a lot of weight. I decided to try her on low fat Iams and she has really improved after just a few days. Her stools are darker and more solid too. Anyone wanna but 20Kgs of Bakers as I wont feed my dog with it again..!! I think its just too high in fat..!! (read more)

“Very Poor Quality Food”
Written on: 16/04/2013 by copy
I started my 6 mth old puppy on the bakers puppy food a cple of days ago, as my usual brand was not in stock. I won't be using it again, he's been sick and has had terrible diarrhoea ever since! You would think a name as Bakers you would be buying good quality food, but my friend has had the same problem with her older collie dog. (read more)

“Big mistake!”
Written on: 20/02/2013 by gezzathorpe
We have been feeding our border terrier (3.5 years old) on Wagg (not saying it's necessary good) but he has been fine. We recently switched to Bakers for some incomprehensible reason. Almost immediately his stools became yellow and there seemed to be traces of blood in them. He then had two accidents with diarrhea inside the house which he has not done since he was a puppy. We also found excrement or vomit (not sure which) in the garden which was bright red, which we think was blood. We... (read more)

My cocker/king charles cross has suffered weight problems and allergies since he was a puppy. On the advice of the vet I took him off Bakers and used the vets own brand of dry dog food. Nothing else in his diet changed but he lost 4 kgs in 2 months. The McDonalds of the dog world! (read more)

“My dog has always thrived on it - she is now 12 years old”
Written on: 08/02/2013
It's been a great diet for her, used in measured amounts and fed twice per day. Make sure your dog always has plenty of fresh water and don't give too many treats. In addition to regular health checks etc and lots of love and exercise. The negative reviews seem to relate to possible other problems or secondary issues. There is a lot of choice out there and a lot of money to be made, so beware of unproven hypes relating to 'all in one' foods. I am currently comparing for a food that will... (read more)

I put my Border Collie puppy on this when we brought her home. As it's a few years since we had a puppy we thought it was more popular and convenient than tinned meat and mixer nowadays so must be better. How wrong we were. When she had diarrhea from the start and we couldn't get her house trained, we put it down to the move and leaving her mum etc, but when she didn't get any better I started to worry and was going to take her to the vet.

As my puppy had stopped eating his Royal Cannin we purchased some bakers puppy from Tesco and he loved it. After a couple of days we noticed a change in him, terrible wind, having accidents in the house and his temperament started to change. He had started to snap at people when he had his treat bone and he was always hungry even though he was eating more than ever.

just a tip, in composition pedigree is only one step up from bakers. If you want to feed meat, look into natures diet. you get better quality ingredients at a much better price per kilogram

Not surprised to hear that, Bakers is just about the crappiest dog foos available.
Most of the additives in it are unfit for human consumption and banned in many countries and it has a well known history of inducing bad behaviour and hyperctivity in dogs because it contains things like Tartrazine and Sunset yellow, names you may remember from the 1980s when they were linked to similar behaviour in children.
Just google the additives in it, you'll be shocked at what you read, the stuff isn't dog food it's a profitable dumping ground for additives that cannot legally be used in human food anymore.

“Nearly Killed my dog!”
Written on: 27/04/2012
A few months after our dog had been on Bakers, he started to get itchy bleeding skin, sneezing and runny eyes and bleeding out of his rear end. We did not know what was causing it and after a £600 vet bill realised it was his food. He is now on Arden Grange and is happy and healthy.His poo is normal and he does not have bad wind anymore. Bakers gave him anaphalaxis and he was in the vets on a drip for days, I really thought he was going to die. This food should be taken off the market!!! (read more)

“THIS FOOD IS NOT GOOD!”
Written on: 12/04/2012 by SandyLewis20000
I am trained in animal nutrition and would like to share with you what I know about Bakers. The food contains very little protein, 4% meat contact infact. The rest of the food is made up of additives that make your dog hyperactive. The food contains little nutrition and has been known to cause various different illnesses. Please note that there is a reason why this food is so cheap! (read more)

“My dog thrives on it”
Written on: 02/04/2012
Been trying all kinds of food with my little terrier cross and she had upset tummies even with the most expensive, vet approved science plan diets. A friend gives her dog Bakers Complete and when my dog stays with here she had it there. Her tummy did not get upset and so I tried the weight control variety at home. Since she's been eating it, her stools are better, she does not get up in the night 5 times to go out and she loves the food. Ergo... they must be doing something right! (read more)

Just THE worse dog food on the market unfortunately they just have the biggest advertising budget!! Shame on you if you feed your beloved family pet this food!!! It is now the law that dog food manufacturers have to state on their packaging for any bags over 10kg EVERY ingredient. They used to be able to say "EEC permitted colourants and preservatives".

i own a pet shop have have been threatened by makers of bakers with legal action, I have found bakers to be one of the worst dog foods and will not sell it, it is full of e numbers, additives, colours customers tell me there dogs are hyper after eating it and due my personal opinion which I am entitled to, it is pure rubbish - the Mc Donalds of pet food. when my customers change there food to either a half decent dry (not always the most expensive) or a food like forthglade they notice a difference in the dogs behaviour, skin problems and weight because I express this personal opinion when asked by my customers, nestle purina have threatened me with legal action - I say bring it on - prove otherwise and in the meantime i'll go the press.

I respectfully suggest you carefully look at the ingredient list and do a 'google' on all the ingredients listed. Until you do this, like 99% of people, you will not understand what the ingredients actually are. The reason for this is that most pet food manufacturers do not want you to understand what goes into their pet food. Once you understand what goes into to pet food and what animal derivatives' etc are, I very much doubt that you will want to carry on feeding this to your dog.

poor dog... please read the ingredients list, and look up the 'e' numbers on the internet to see what damage they can cause. often the effects may not be seen till the dog is older, skin tumors etc, but by then it can be too late. just because he enjoys it, does not mean its good. most children would enjoy a diet of sweets and burgers, but they should not be given it.

Phoned Pets at Home and mentioned the free samples put into bags at PAH, Gynde Gap Bexhill. They were apologetic and agreed to get in touch with PAH store where it was given out. At least they seemed more understanding than Purina. Purina/Nestle emailed me asking me to ring them with further details and deny all culpability, Great. I will be careful to check all products, if Purina then will boycott, that goes for Bonio and any Nestle products as well.

I am an experienced dog breeder and I know about food and what to give them. I have never ever feed my dogs this and never will, but I know what this food is about and what it has in it. First of all any dog food or cat food you buy from a supermarket e.g. Tesco is rubbish ! The only dog or cat food you should start your dogs off with is either James Wellbeloved or Science Plan. They are the top best foods you can buy, obviously they cost more but the end result is better. James Wellbeloved... (read more)

Bakers is the canine McDonalds! The fancy colours and shapes are designed to appeal to the purchaser - NOT the DOG! The dog doesn't care what it looks like, just how it tastes, and it may well suffer as a result of consuming the colourings and preservatives they put in the stuff.
One highly respected Border Collie rescue centre makes it a condition of letting you have a dog that you undertake NEVER to feed it Bakers Complete! (It's stated in the agreement you sign). Now THAT must mean something!

There are a lot of Border Collie Rescue and working dog rescue centres saying the same, and they should know. This stuff is terrible. If you can, get your dog on a raw diet, though you can't just change overnight, it takes time. Dogs on a raw (BARF) diet rarely have fleas or health problems (unless generic), which just goes to show they don't need fancy colours, shapes or flavourings, as this reviewer quite rightly says.

This dog food is definitely the worst on the market, not only because of it's poor ingredients but because you pay so much for it, it is not just the upfront cost of the food, its the steroid treatments to treat the skin (coincidentally a good quality dog food can cure), money you pay 2/3 of it is used to cover the expensive adverts.

Bakers complete is owned by Purina which is then owned by Mars, a large TNC, they do not care about your dog, they only care for money, look on the back of your Bakers packet and read the ingredients, the first will be meat and animal derivatives (these are not human grade,bone etc) reading on will show that this is only in the 'meaty' chunks (minimum 4% of the flavour) there are 9 different kibbles in bakers, there is next to no protein in the food, the colourings are not for the dogs benefits they are for the humans visual aid do you really think that they are peas and carrots? Please buy a good quality dog food, steer away from anything with derivitives and support local shops.

our dog ate the food nicely and enjoyed it but he chewed his bed up which he never usually did and he was excited after he had ate. It was good that it had a variety but our dog oscar just looked like he was filling out a lot and we were only giving him 3 cups a day. (read more)

That's coz it is rubbish!
I am a nutritionist and you can almost guarantee that when someone comes to me and says they have this problem or that & I ask what they feed it's Bakers. Probably 8 out of 10 times.
For goodness sake stop using it and feed something decent!

I've had no problems using Bakers complete. I think there's a bit of a witch-hunt going on in cyber space to rubbish this product. My 5 year old spaniel has had no undue side effects as some people have mentioned. He didn't become hyper, he didn't 'poop for England'. We have tried a different (premium) brand after people telling us how incredibly bad Bakers was; and I have to say it's not great. On the very expensive food my dog's skin appeared itchy and a little flaky, he was soo... (read more)

My 5 year old spaniel had problems this evening with this. I am quite worried presently, I hope she calms down soon. With a cocker spaniel, she doesn't need to be made hyperactive.

Craglet's Response to Vdubs23's Review
Written on: 25/01/2013
nooooooooo.
worst thing you can feed a dog, I work for a pet food chain and the amount of trouble you can get yourself into feeding this to your dog is unreal.
1, hyper-activity
2, more toilet stops
3, mood changes
4, stomach upsets (loose stools)
5, dry skin ( dog always ichy)
6, fur changing colour (often to an orange or red tint)
7, paw chewing
8, eye & ear infections
This food is basically like feeding children haribo mixed with mars bars, good old fashioned smarties with a tiny lump of beef in for substance.
The food claims to be 26% meat with 4% beef, the 4% beef is correct but the remaining 22% is whatever meat is available at the time, and more often than not, carcass, or offal, giving little or no nutritional value to your dog at all. The remaining of the food is made up a cereals, wheat, sugars and various oils and fats.
Point to take note is that cereals are bulking agents so you have to feed your dog more than you think to give it the nutrition it needs to be healthy, also dogs cannot naturally digest wheat products, meaning that instead of passing through, the wheat absorbs into the body and is the main cause of most of the illnesses above, the beef flavour is the cause of the paw chewing and the colourants is the cause of the fur changing colour.
PS do not change to royal canin, although this is a much better food is still contains wheat and cereals.
Look into Taste of the Wild, Acana, Origen, Collards or James Wellbeloved.
All these foods are wheat and cereal free and will prevent many illnesses in your dogs.
