Wildology Dog Food Review 2024: What Makes This Brand Special?

“What is a Superlife for a pet?” This is the question that Wildology asks every time it crafts a pet food recipe, because a healthy pet is a pet that can do everything it wants to do — like playing, fetching, climbing, and running.

And only a recipe filled with complete nutrition and wholesome ingredients (yep, all the good stuff) can help pets do that. This is where Wildology comes in.

To get to know more about this relatively new brand, let’s focus our Wildology dog food review on how this line of food products can help your pet, what is in each food, and if it’s something that will be good for your dog.

There are very few reviews available for their products, so it would be hard to make a detailed pro and con list. However, we’ve compiled the ones we’ve found to help you in your decision on whether it’s the right dog food for your pup or not. 

About The Dog and Cat Food Brand

There is limited information about Wildology food brand on its website. What we do know is that it is owned by Midco Distributing LLC and its products are made by known manufacturers Diamond Pet Foods, the same company that produces Taste of the Wild and Diamond. 

As of the moment, you can only buy Wildology foods from select pet food stores because most of the large pet food websites do not yet stock these.

7. Hike [Chicken & Brown Rice]

First 5 Ingredients: Chicken, Chicken Broth, Whole Grain Brown Rice, Carrots, Egg

Guaranteed analysis:

Dogs who go wild over chicken will find their match in this wet dog food recipe called Hike. The formulation is made with a single animal protein source and nutritious grains for a delicious meal that’s right for small to large breed dogs of all ages. 

The protein is quite high in this diet. It’s supposed to get your pups ready to hike all day long with its energy-packed formulation. 

There are no reviewers yet for this canned food, although its dry dog food counterpart is highly received by customers who praised the recipe for its quality ingredients. One buyer also said that her mastiffs seem more energetic when fed this scrumptious meal.

8. Wiggle [Chicken & Oatmeal For Small Breeds]

First 5 Ingredients: Chicken, Chicken Broth, Oatmeal, Pearled Barley, Dried Yeast

Guaranteed analysis:

Wiggle is a savory chicken and oatmeal recipe designed to satisfy the high energy needs of a small breed dog of any age.

Small breed dogs, surprisingly, use up a lot of energy faster than their large breed counterparts due to their unique metabolism. Wiggle provides this through its protein-dense, one-animal-protein-source makeup.

Aside from its high protein formulation, they thoughtfully added glucosamine into the mixture to keep the joints of small pooches, particularly little senior dogs, healthy and flexible. The supplement can alleviate joint pains and keep your older small dog, if you have one,  more mobile.

We’ve only managed to get one review for this canned dog food so far. It’s a 5-star out of 5, by the way, from a pet owner whose Shih Tzu is a picky eater with IBS.

According to the buyer, this formulation works well with her dog’s sensitive digestion and is the only one of a few food brands that her pooch will touch.

9. Delight [Chicken & Oatmeal For Seniors]

First 5 Ingredients: Chicken, Chicken Broth, Oatmeal, Pearled Barley, Guar Gum

Guaranteed analysis:

Delight is another chicken and oatmeal recipe by Wildology™, specifically designed for senior dogs of any breed size.

Dogs aged 7 years and older have unique nutritional needs for overall health and nourishment. This recipe provides adequate protein for older muscles but has lower calorie and fiber content.

This is because older pets tend to be less active, burning fewer calories and storing more as fat. Lower fiber content may also help in better absorption of essential nutrients.

We haven't found any customer reviews for the Delight recipe, whether canned or dry. Our assessment is based on the formulation, and it seems to be a solid choice.

It features a single protein source (ideal for sensitive dogs), an excellent fat source (salmon oil), and includes all the desirable ingredients for dog food.

How Does Wildology Help Your Pooch? 

Made with simple and natural ingredients, Wildology pet foods keep all of the junk out while filling your pet’s bowl with all the good stuff.

The brand is known for developing a patent-pending blend of superfoods and probiotics called the Superlife PRO that focuses on whole body health and holistic canine nutrition. 

According to the brand, Superlife PRO is a key ingredient in a pet’s overall wellness. The probiotics in the mixture maintain a healthy balance between good and bad bacteria in the gut.

Combined with known superfoods like kale, blueberries, and pumpkin, Superlife PRO should give your pet the boost he needs to live a full and happy life. 

If you’re looking for grain free food, Wildology is not for you. All of their products contain healthy grains that provide the carbohydrate needs of your pet. However, if you are looking for legume free dog foods, then this brand is perfect for your pup.

Recall History

There has been no recall yet for the Wildology brand, but its manufacturer, Diamond Pet Foods, has had a few ones in the past although the most recent one was several years ago (2013). 

The Good and Bad

Pros:

• Meat-first and grain-based daily diet
• Uses Superlife Pro
• Always includes a probiotic blend
• Guaranteed levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in all recipes
• Responsibly-sourced and sustainably-sourced ingredients

Cons:

• Some recipes contain canola oil
• Not transparent about ingredient sources

Do we recommend this brand? Yes, for us, it is a good dog food brand. It has mostly healthy ingredients, and we approve of the meat-first makeup of the dog food formulations.

All of its dog food recipes contain guaranteed live probiotics, which means that they recognize the importance of a healthy gut to a dog’s overall wellness. 

The brand relies much on the use of grains for its formulations. If it’s not a grain free diet you’re looking for, their products would be a healthy alternative to your dog’s current food. 

There are no problematic ingredients like carrageenan, artificial colors or flavorings, and so on unlike other dog food brands. However, they do use canola oil in some of its recipes, though canola isn’t really considered harmful.

The main disadvantage with canola oil is that if it’s not declared as organic, then it most probably has gone through a whole lot of processing. 

The only issue we really have with this brand is that its sources for ingredients are not listed on its site. More transparency would have been better regarding its sourcing process and recipes.

We also wish the brand could make its products more widely available, especially in large online stores, so that it would be easier to gather reviews from fellow pet parents about the foods’ effect on their doggos.
