Review: Tails.com Personalised Puppy Chow

Lexi, our 8-month-old chocolate Labrador puppy, is doing really well but one problem we have experienced with her over the last few weeks has been a lack of interest in her food – very odd for a Labrador! She hasn’t starved as she has been eating but really shows a lack of relish in her food often leaving a good portion behind in her bowl.

We have tried a couple of different foods from well-known brands to local niche companies with nothing really sparking excitement from Lexi so when Tails.com, the personalised dog food company, got in touch to offer us the chance to review their product I was really keen to give it a go!

Signing up couldn’t be easier, just go to their website Tails.com and make an account. Next set up a profile for your pooch by answering a few questions such as breed, age, sex, activity levels, number of treats and health to personalise the food for your dog’s needs.

The system works just like a subscription service with flexibility built in so that you can choose how often you receive deliveries and you are able to pause and cancel very easily. It also makes it easy to change the order if you want to update your dog’s stats or need to add a dietry requirement.

Based on her stats Lexi’s dry food was designed to support her mental abilities and development with omega 3 oils from linseed to support healthy brain and vision development. To strengthen her puppy immune system with selenium, beta carotene and antioxidants as well as support her overall growth and development with high-quality protein, as she grows into an adult.

The kibble size was selected to suit her status as a larger breed, with no additives and to keep her in optimal body condition based on estimated calories burnt through her 1-3 hours of exercise a day and her intake of treats (approximately 8% of her diet).

Lexi’s personalised dry food mix is made up of: chicken 50.2% (including 33.4% from dehydrated chicken), maize, sweet potato, beet pulp, maize gluten feed, maize gluten, potato, brown rice, linseed, yeast, brewer’s yeast, gravy (digest) 0.4%, monocalcium phosphate, seaweed meal, sodium chloride, glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate, yucca schidigera extract

Her personalised feeding plan is made up of 3 level scoops of Lexi’s tailor-made dry food using the Tails.com feeding scoop which makes it super easy to measure out the correct amount of food (450g per day).

I have to mention that I really love the personal touches Tails.com include such as the well presented personal meal plan leaflet which makes it easy to understand the blend and feeding directions. I also really love that they include Lexi’s name on the bags of food, the meal plan and even the scoop.

Most importantly I am glad to report back that Lexi has been wolfing down her special food blend with boosted excitement and never leaves any kibble in her bowl which gives me peace of mind that she’s getting all the nutrition she needs to grow into a healthy and happy adult Labrador.

If you want to try Tails.com’s personalised dog food for yourself (something I recommend!) then use the code STYLISHLONDON for a two weeks free supply with £1 delivery.

Lexi awards the personalised puppy chow from Tails.com a very happy 5 out of 5 stars and I most certainly intend on sticking with it for the foreseeable future.
