Laughing Dog food — an honest look
Laughing Dog is a UK dog food brand built around grain-free dry recipes and biscuit-style treats, generally positioned as a mid-to-premium everyday option. We do not publish customer star ratings on our own product pages, so here is an honest, independent-minded look at what the range actually is rather than a review score.
What Laughing Dog actually makes
The range centres on grain-free complete dry food, alongside biscuit-style treats sold under names like Brit Bites, in a mix of single and multi-protein recipes. It sits above the most basic budget dry foods but below the top-end premium tier, aimed at owners who want a grain-free option without the highest price point.
Puppy-specific recipes are also part of the range, formulated with the higher energy and nutrient needs of a growing dog in mind rather than simply being a smaller-kibble version of the standard adult food.
Who the range tends to suit
Laughing Dog suits owners specifically looking for a grain-free everyday food at a moderate price, rather than those seeking the very cheapest option or a single ultra-premium brand. It is a reasonable middle ground for a dog with no diagnosed sensitivity who simply does better, or whose owner prefers, a grain-free diet.
As with any brand, whether a specific recipe suits your dog comes down to their individual needs rather than the range's general reputation — introduce any new food gradually and speak to your vet if your dog does not settle on it.
The Brit Bites treats
Alongside the complete dry food, Laughing Dog also makes a range of biscuit-style treats sold as Brit Bites, in flavours such as chicken and pumpkin or country vegetables, generally following the same grain-free approach as the main food range.
These work well as an everyday training or reward treat, though like any treat they should stay a small addition to a dog's diet rather than a replacement for part of a proper meal.
