Description
What are Feedwell Maintenance Dog Nuts?
For over 50 years and through three generations we have been feeding Dogs quality dog food. Jimmy Clegg, the founder of the Feedwell brand, had a simple desire to create a family of products that delivered high quality nutrition at affordable prices to all types of dogs. This is still what we do today.
Feedwell Maintenance is a dry, natural kibble formulated as a complete dog food. It’s tailored particularly for dogs that are less active, overweight, or elderly—basically, dogs requiring a lower-energy, lower-performance diet

Testomonials:
We are hugely proud of the success many of our customers have had with their dogs over the years. The time and work that each of the handlers put into their sport and their dogs is huge and we are only too pleased to highlight their success. We take great pride in knowing that all of this success has been achieved whilst feeding one of our products. Each and every one a great advertisement for Feedwell.
As a family we have been using Feedwell products for 3 generations. Over the years we have had numerous field trial and retriever championship winners. In 2015 John Senior won top retriever and is qualified for the 2016 IGL championship in England. Both men are qualified for the IKC retriever championship. Feedwell Sport keeps our dogs going brilliantly from early in the morning to late in the day. Testament to the quality of the food.

“My current top dog is Breed Record holder Irish, UK & International Champion Rocksham Kimweri , AKA ‘Paddy’ (pictured) Paddy is a Multi Best in Show & Group Winning Champion and is the Rhodesian Ridgeback Breed Record holder for Championship wins in Ireland For nearly 30 years Feedwell has kept my dogs in fantastic condition and helped contribute to my success over the years.

When we first got Rosie (formerly Luna) she was a tiny 8kg and in terrible health, she had practically given up on life. With a serious amount of love and a great food in Feedwell, over a number of months Rosie came back to life and is now a happy healthy 20kg dog as you can see. We wouldn’t be without her and it is just upsetting that she was ever in that condition in the first place. I couldn’t recommend Feedwell enough, we use it for many of our rescue dogs day in day out. A superb feed.

“I have been involved with dogs for more than 50 years and more recently have discovered the sport of IPO which includes Tracking, Obedience and Protection phases. Our current female German Shepherd has developed into a truly magnificent specimen and is training for her IPO1 having already achieved her BH. We believe that the drive and condition borne by all our Dogs is thanks to the high quality content of Feedwell that allows our dogs to perform at optimal level.”

My dogs have won the IKC Spaniel Championships twice, 3rd twice and 4th three times. I have also had two 2nds in the British Championships. Feedwell has been delivering for me and my dogs for years and will continue to be my food of choice.

For over thirty years I have been breeding and training border collies for working the farm and competing in sheepdog trials. I have gained an excellent reputation both locally and further afield. My aim is ‘to produce good quality dogs’ and this has proven to be the case in recent years.
Dogs that I have bred and trained have represented Ireland at International level on six occasions and have been consistently placed in national competitions. One of my top dogs, Beau, was voted top breeding dog in the British Isles in Working Sheepdog News 2004.
I have fed Feedwell for over 15 years, Maintenance and Sport for my adult dogs and Feedwell Puppy when rearing our pups. It is a quality feed that has been helping my dogs consistently perform in the Field for years and would highly recommend it.
