Wet Dog Food of the Year

Independent pet retailers have once again recognised Forthglade’s enduring appeal, naming its grain-free wet food range the Wet Dog Food of the Year Award for a sixth successive year

Forthglade comments:

Winning Wet Dog Food of the Year Award for the sixth year running, voted for by independent pet retailers, is an incredible achievement and one we are really excited about. Awards are always special, but this one means a great deal because it comes directly from the people who know the category inside out: independent retailers who speak to pet owners every day, understand what dogs need, and see first-hand which products customers return to time and time again.

For us, this award is a powerful endorsement of the quality, trust and consistency behind our wet dog food range. To win once is fantastic; to be recognised for six consecutive years shows that our recipes continue to deliver for dogs, their owners and the retailers who recommend them.

Our grain-free wet food range has been created to make mealtimes simple, nourishing and enjoyable for dogs at every life stage. Made with natural ingredients, added vitamins and minerals, each recipe is designed to support a balanced, healthy lifestyle while giving dogs a dinner they genuinely love. With recipes suitable for puppies, adults and seniors aged 7+, there is a meal for every dog, whether owners are looking for everyday complete nutrition, variety at mealtimes or something gentle on sensitive tummies.

Our wet recipes are high in quality protein, with at least 75% protein in every wet food recipe, excluding our lighter senior recipes at 60%. They are also free from fillers, artificial colours, flavours and preservatives, giving pet parents confidence that they are choosing food they can trust. The recipes are hypoallergenic and gentle on dogs’ tummies, which is an important consideration for many customers looking for natural, nutritious meals that suit their dog’s needs.

The variety within the range is another key strength. Popular recipes include chicken, lamb, duck, turkey, salmon and sardines, alongside our much-loved British Classics range. This breadth helps independent retailers offer something for all dogs and customer preferences, from familiar favourites to exciting recipe options that encourage repeat purchase and mealtime rotation.

We believe pet food should be simple to understand, made with ingredients owners recognise, and created with dogs’ health and happiness at its heart. Our wet food range brings those values to life in convenient, appetising recipes that retailers can recommend with confidence.

Independent retailers are central to our success. We value their expertise, their strong relationships with customers, and the role they play in helping pet owners find products that genuinely suit each dog. Being voted for by them makes this award especially meaningful.
