This company is a scammmmm!
I have made one order with them to try their food out, suddenly one day out of no where they decided to charge me$170 without asking me, guess what they didn’t even bother ask how my dog likes the food. Wow when i try to log on my account on their website there was no where possible to delete my account cancel subscription or cancel order! I can not believe it’s 2022 already there’s still a company that ask you to email them for any of the features mentioned above! Now i feel been scammed by them, credit card theft if I must say. Now I true hope I can get my money back from them or maybe should I share this story with face book group and see if there are any other victims out there

TERRIBLE. DON'T BUY FROM THEM
Okay, so firstly, my dog ate the food no worries. But the service, care and honesty of the company is shocking. Orders were not the full weight they were supposed to be, came in wrong package sizing, they refused to correct the mistake or give a full refund for their error. In the end my emails left unanswered when I tried to make them accountable for their incompetence.

Dinner Bowl is a hit in this household!
Meal time is easy now, and Bonnie likes all the recipes (although her fave is the lamb). I especially loved the SMS so I know exactly when the delivery is coming. It allows you to track the driver's ETA. Super impressed.

Poor service
Problems from first order, my trial box turned up 3 days after i was billed for my second box (no trial) my second box turned up with 6 dinners missing, took 2 hrs to resolve on chat...my dog was vomiting after this food, had a vet trip (RAW dinner bowls) food has alot of fat content in it. There is no phone number only chat or email... actual delivery was fine. customer service poor and give incorrect information. I thought this would be easy and convenient, but all the time I wasted on chat makes it extremely inconvenient. hard to cancel, have to tell them repeatedly cancel my subscription before they actually do it... make sure u get it in email as proof it's done

Canceling due to extremely unreliable delivery service
Our dogs really like the food. Other than that one time I found a foreign object embedded in a biscuit, I never had a complaint about the food and we've been a customer since November 2021.
However, the delivery is just way too unreliable. There have been three times where the delivery not only did not make it in time, it was so delayed that we had to have a back-up food for our dogs.
We've been only getting them delivered twice a month and something always happened to at least one of the deliveries. This has now become unacceptable and we'v...
Read moree decided to cancel the subscription and move to another company. We understand that being understaffed due to covid is a major issue, but it is extremely difficult to justify the price we pay for the food if we always have to another bag of back-up food in our cupboard.Purchased in .

Food is ok, service is sometimes non existent
The food is ok but good luck getting a delivery on time or at all or perhaps get charged extra for no reason. Some staff have been helpful in processing back over charges but if you're food doesn't arrive on the day good luck getting anyone to bother calling you back, 3 days later I just cancelled my subscription and I had budgeted to spend per month with Mad Paws
Food$270
Pet Sitting $400
Waggly Treats 45
But I will be looking for a company that actually provides a little customer service and food for my dog on the day they say they will or at least return a call within 3 days.
Good luck its a lottery with these guys...you might get your food or you may not...but don't bother chasing it up with them if you're in a hurry

Great food. My Dogs love it! Delivery is always on time.
I know this sounds odd, but my dogs are visibly more excited for their food when they see it’s coming from one of the mad paws bags as opposed to other food I have given them in the past.
The food is full of good stuff and the delivery is always on time so I know my boys always have food

My dog loves it
My dog loves his new food. I must say it looks nothing like the lucites on their website and my first 2 deliveries were mucked around. But he loves it and so does his tummy which is really important. Easy to transition him over

Food ok, delivery inconsistent
My dog is very fussy and only likes the chicken flavour. Packaging is not great and difficult to open. The main issue the last 2 months is that their delivery schedule has been completely unreliable (but as a subscription service they are quite happy to keep charging you, whether the delivery happened or not)! I have cancelled my subscription for now. Get it sorted guys.

Good food, when it comes.
Two orders not arrived. It took them a week to finally get back to me about where my order was only to tell me they will send another box as they can’t find it. Once again didn’t arrive. Customer service continues to tell me they are chasing it up but don’t update me until I hassle them again.

Nutritious & puppy loves it!
Very convenient and efficient way to make sure your furbaby get nutritious food. It takes the worry away as this product is healthy and has all the nutrients for their meals. Our pup adapted to the change very quickly and he is really enjoying meals! We like how the subscription can be tailored to your pups needs too. Will definitely keep ordering and try out the other kibble flavours.

I would give zero stars if I could
Food never rocked up because the delivery service they use is incompetent and can’t follow a simple instruction of “call if you can’t find the place”. Two days in a row! Lazy drivers. Wouldn’t bother with this place again.

So simple and loved by my doggo!
My dog absolutely loves the food, and it makes my life sooo much easier. So happy we found it! She didn't have any strong reaction, other than EXCITED. We transitioned from the old food to new slowly over 5 days but she wouldn't eat her old food after that!!

Questions & Answers
There’s no reference to a miniature dachshund in the breed type and my 14 month old 8kg dog currently eats two meals a day, kibble 45g plus sachet 40g each meal. The suggested intake of 150g x 2 given by MadPaws seems far too much. What’s the correct quantity?
hi is the raw complete for puppies? i was thinking of just giving full raw to my puppy.
Is the kibble from this provider been useful in providing our furry friends producing a firm stool and not diarrhoea? My Maddie has a iffy tummy and has constant sloppy poos, even on diet of rice and chicken only

Details
Mad Paws Dinner Bowl states that it provides custom meal plans for your dog, depending on their age, breed, gender and weight. This custom meal plan is likely to be some kind of variation of the three dinner bowl options on the Mad Paws website. The 3 options are chicken, kangaroo and beef, and they all come with vegetables and minced liver.
Points of Praise
- More than one doggy bowl was licked clean, after food was ‘wolfed down’ by happy pups who loved the taste of Mad Paws dog food. This was the case for even fussy dogs.
- Reviewers reported an increase in their dogs’ health - including higher energy levels, shinier coats and less skin irritation. Fewer to zero digestive problems were reported for dogs that used to have tummy upset.
Points to consider
- The price for Mad Paws Dog Bowls will vary, depending on your dog’s custom diet.
- The meals may be slightly thawed when they arrive at your home, but Mad Paws states that as long as the packet is sealed and still cold, it’s still good for your pup to eat.
- A raw food diet is not always suitable for all pups, due to the high bacteria count. This includes puppies or other dogs with weak immune systems. Otherwise, slowly transitioning your dog to raw food is important, to help make the change stick.
When presented with Mad Paws Dog Bowls, plenty of furry friends lick their lips and wag their tails. As a result of this canine contentment Mad Paws has won a 2022 ieatwords Award for best dog food. Reviewers appreciate that their dogs adore the taste, and that the food is nutritious.
