It's dog parents who ultimately decide if their four-legged family member is flourishing from their Forthglade food, and so we are delighted to have been awarded 'Best Wet Food' for five years in a row by 'Your Dog' parents. We're passionate about nourishing the relationship between pooches and their people and we believe that starts with a nutritious diet. Since 1971, we've been championing natural dinners for dogs, free from any junk or fillers.
So what does natural mean?
Natural is not just a buzzword — it’s a legal definition. It means that the ingredients must be derived from animals, plants, microorganisms, or minerals to which nothing can be added. The processing of the ingredients should make them suitable for pet food, while maintaining its natural composition. Natural foods contain no artificial colourings, flavours, and preservatives, and have not undergone chemical processing. At Forthglade, only high quality ingredients are used to maximise the natural benefits of the ingredients to help the health and well-being of your dog.
Their long track record, combined with the fact their award-winning wet meals are made at their own factory in the heart of Devon, allows customers to rest easy, knowing their recipes are high quality, contain 75% protein, and are bursting with goodness.
Sharing the joy of mealtimes
New ‘British Classics’ range is the latest addition to an award-winning complete, grain-free wet meals. Featuring British family favourite recipes, such as, ‘Lamb Shepherd’s Pie’ and ‘Chicken Family Lunch’, lovingly reimagined for the four-legged family members to join in with the special moment when everyone comes together over a hearty meal.
Forthglade understand the importance of quality ingredients for the health and well-being of dogs. That’s why the ‘British Classics’ recipes are made with 75% British proteins, including beef, lamb, chicken, and turkey. Sourced and crafted in the UK, the meals reflect the commitment to supporting local producers and providing pets with high-quality, nutritious food. To ensure each recipe is balanced and full of natural goodness, included within is a selection of premium fruits and vegetables, such as, pumpkin, green beans, broccoli, parsnips, and cranberries.
"Each recipe is made with natural ingredients with ingredients clearly labelled on the packaging, nothing hidden and nothing artificial is added. I have even been around the Forthglade headquarters and seen first-hand how the food is made with such care and attention to every detail, from the sourcing of raw ingredients to the detailed formulation of each recipe that I feel absolutely confident I can put my trust in their food.”
Media vet and Forthglade ambassador, Dr James Greenwood
Wet food
You'll also find a full range of natural, complete recipes which are hypoallergenic and contain up to 75% protein (salmon, sardine, lamb, duck, beef, or turkey) with added vitamins and minerals to support your dog's health. Plus, there’s a lifestage range, providing tailored nutrition to support your dogs needs as they age. For example, the senior recipe has lighter protein, at 60% of the recipe, and higher levels of chondroitin and glucosamine to help joint health, while the puppy recipes contain salmon oil to support brain development. The three life stages are puppy (up to 1 year), adult (1 — 7 years), and senior (7+ years).
For those who prefer to tailor mealtimes, the ‘Just’ range of complementary recipes, containing 90% beef, duck, or chicken, are perfect as a tasty topper to mix with a high quality dry food.
Natural dry food
The premium range of natural dry dog food is grain-free, hypoallergenic and bursting with goodness. It’s made using natural ingredients along with added vitamins, minerals, and botanicals.
The innovative Cold Pressed range for good gut health uses a cold pressing technique, meaning they take lots of scrumptious ingredients and – to keep in the nutrients – do as little to them as possible before they’re wolfed down by your canine companion. Each bite-sized piece of this grain free complete dry dog food retains as much natural flavour and goodness as possible. Suitable for all life stages and with added fruit and salmon oil to ensure your four-legged friend has all the essential nutrients they need. Available in chicken, turkey, duck, salmon and small dog (turkey) recipes.
Designed to enhance everyday vitality, the new Lightly Baked range includes 50% single source protein (lamb, chicken, or turkey). Tasty, natural ingredients are lightly baked to seal in the goodness and create nutritionally balanced natural dry dog food for adult dogs (1 year+) in bite-sized pellets. The dry dog kibble does not need to be mixed with anything else, but if you prefer to mix up mealtimes anyway, it’s the perfect companion to the complete wet food ranges.
