very poor ingredients one ingredient is found in anti freeze. lots of sugar salt and additives if you want a hyper unconditioned dog then this is for you . this is one of the worse dog foods available.

I am not a reviewer by any means, but this is different. I'd been feeding my JRT this for a good few years and on reflection he never gained weight, never settled or really relaxed around the house (even tho he is 7), Whinged a lot generally about anything, paid lots of attention to his ears and moults he loads. Even tho he is walked twice a day and has loads of toys and things etc I thought there might have been a touch or boredom going on until one night after dinner he started to slink around (if you have a JRT you'll know what I mean!) and lick himself raw. Several vet bills later and no cure in sight i saw something on tv that implied 'you are what you eat'. Accidentally I googled Bakers Complete ... eeeeek !! Cutting a long story short, following the worst bout of nighttime runs i have ever had to clear up I changed his diet to chicken and brown rice with carrots and peas (yep, he was eating better than me!) for 10 days or so while i properly researched dog food brands and types. Gradually I began to replace his chicken and rice with James Wellbeloved kibble. I now have a totally different JRT. The transformation is stunning. Calm and relaxed, fun, mischievous and less windy ! The Bakers Complete label is scary - its full of implications and double talk. If im honest I was definatley sucked in by the advertising campaign. In my opinion .. Bakers Complete - No, just dont, for the sake of your dog ! If I didnt have to give a star on here i wouldnt be. If there was a skull and crossbones id be using that !

I think this says it all. At the time of writing I believe there are 13 Es in their Bakers Complete dog food. If this incorrect, then that is an awful lot of Es Ten of these Es have apparently been flagged as causes of concern at different levels. Additives and Preservatives: Bakers Complete contains 13 E numbers. To put this into perspective, the oft maligned McDonalds hamburger contains 7 E numbers. In Bakers Complete these are used for a variety of purposes, such as colourings and preservatives, and this list includes: Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA) - E320 Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT) - E321 Propyl Gallate - E310 Citric Acid - E330 Potassium Sorbate -, E202 Propan -1,2-diol - E490 Iron Oxide - E172 Indigo Carmine - E132 Tartrazine - E102 Sunset Yellow - E110 Quinoline Yellow - E104 Titanium Dioxide - E171 Carbon Black - E153 At the time of writing I believe the ten below are still used in the preparation of Bakers Complete. E320 - has been found to be tumour-producing when fed to rats. In human studies it has been linked with urticaria, angioedema and asthma. E321 - banned for use in food in Japan, Romania, Sweden, and Australia. The US has barred it from being used in infant foods. So bad McDonalds have voluntarily eliminated it from their products. E310 - Banned from children's foods in the US because it is thought to cause the blood disorder methemoglobinemia E172 - Banned in Germany E132 - Can cause skin sensitivity, a rash similar to nettle rash, itching, nausea, high blood pressure and breathing problems. One of the colours that the Hyperactive Children's Support Group recommends be eliminated from the diet of children. Banned in Norway. E102 - TARTRAZINE - A trial on 76 children diagnosed as hyperactive, showed that tartrazine provoked abnormal behaviour patterns in 79% of them E110 - Sunset Yellow has been found to damage kidneys and adrenals when fed to laboratory rats. It has also been found to be carcinogenic when fed to animals E104 - One of the colours that the Hyperactive Children's Support Group recommends be eliminated from the diet of children. Banned in Australia, Japan, Norway and the United States. E171 - Banned in Germany E153 - Banned as a food additive in the United States of America. Suspected as a carcinogenic agent.

Brought this for my 8 week old puppy. He became very ill with terrible diarrhea. At first we thought he was ill so took him to vets. He checked him over and asked abut feeding. When we told him we used Bakers Puppy he frowned and described it as Macdonalds for dogs and to stop using it. When I returned the products we had that we had not opened the pet store said he exact same thing along with Wagg and Pedigree that they regularly get complaints about making dogs ill. I asked why they sold it and they said it was a big seller as it was cheap but it was cheap because it was all oil and wheat bulk, which irritates many dogs stomachs. Have swapped to quality Eukanuba product and with in 2 days he was fine. So be warned this is cheap for a reason it has rubbish in it and could end up with a trip to the vets or worse for your beloved puppy.

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.

I have 4 Staffies all very well behaved we've always fed the dogs on dry food out local pet shop wasnt open so we just had to get any thing that was available of which was bakers complete as soon as they had eaten this they was all over the place jumping every where very badly behaved at First I thought it was a funny five minuets but this hyperactiveness lasted well over 2 hours I'm never buying this product again I do not recommend it

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 have just starved him for a day then reverted to Wagg and already he has produced normal looking stools. There must be a link!! We think that we will now feed him on unprocessed foods ... it seems to be a minefield with processed dog food.

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!

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. Then I came across the reviews from others on the web and changed her to pedigree chum tinned food and mixer. What a difference. The change was almost instant, within 24 hours she was perfectly fine and house trained within 2 days. I would never recommend Bakers complete puppy food to anyone.

i had to give a star, i would have prefered not to have but there you go!! this food is terrible, the worst an absolute discrace and should NOT be allowed to be sold to dog owners!!!!!! What bakers do (along with selected other brands) should be illegal, and people who understand how bad bakers is and still buy should have their dogs took off of them!! Eg, You've got a child, would you feed it A,a nice chicken breast with pasta, some salad followed by a glass of fresh fruit juice ..... or B, a teaspoon of chicken, 4 or 5 peas topped with haribo, crushed mars bars, some good old fashioned smarties & some fats. its obvious really so why would you want to but your dog a version a B? when all then need is natural meats and some brown carbs? This product causes many long term illnesses, such as eye and ear problems, skin irritation and reduced natural skin oils, bad breath, hyperactivity, stomach upsets, amongst many other things! If you've got a dog feed it what it needs....meat there are plenty of really good foods out there at similar cost to bakers. if you love your dog feed it properly, my dog almost died due to bakers, and im not just saying this, he experienced many of the problems above and we had many allergy tests done on him and they were all linked to his food!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
