I've been using Chewey for 7yrs after rescuing my girl Gracie. She was skin and bones! She's pleasantly plump at 70lbs! She has allergies and her vet wanted her on a sensitive skin food he suggested. I went to the pet store to see how much it was and read the ingredients. Well I can't afford $70 for 24 lbs when I can get the same limited ingredients venison and sweet potato grain free for under $60 and have it delivered to my door! Gracie loves it with a little warm water stired in ! She's going on 12 and her fur is so shiny people compliment!

Miracle For Dog with Allergies

The Venison and Sweet Potato food has been a lifesaver for my dog. For years he suffered from itchy skin and ears and constant ear infections from scratching. Our vet told us it was probably an allergy in the food he was eating and also prescribed apoquel for the itch. I tried many different kinds over the years and finally realized he was allergic to both grain and chicken products. The vet said try venison which led me to this food over a year ago. Since eating this food, all of my dog's allergy problems have largely disappeared. His coat is soft and beautiful and he no longer itches unless my toddler gives him a snack he's not supposed to have. I only have to give him the apoquel when this happens (maybe once a month or less) when before he was taking it daily. His ear infections have gone away, his eyes are clearer, and I can tell he is just overall a happier dog. I wish I had discovered this food sooner. My dog is happy to eat it daily.

Solution Food

I tried this food for my dog honestly out of desperation. We were at the point where we just had tried twelve different foods and literally hundreds on dog foods to try to find something that wouldn’t trigger my Frenchton’s food allergies and failed. (She is severely allergic to grain and poultry). I went on Chewy to do some research since I was out of recommended brands. American Journey limited ingredient grain free was being featured for $20. I thought it was worth a try. Even with the regular price I still feel it is worth it and I love that Chewy always has sales. It’s been two years and since then my dog has had no allergic reactions to this food and although her stool can be a little soft at times, there is no issue with diarrhea or other side effects. I am so happy to have found a solution! This food is a good size for her. The last bag had some extra food dust, but since I add a little water to her food it just helped make a little gravy for her. She doesn’t seem to mind it. Unlike other foods where my dog has lost interest in the taste, she does not give me trouble about eating this for every meal. (I can also feed her the salmon version without an allergic reaction if I want to switch it up for her but it can be fishy smelling). I would recommend giving this a try if your dog is allergic to poultry and grain like mine is. You might be pleasantly surprised.

I have a 2.5 year old boxer that has had digestion issues since she was a puppy. We had tried so many different foods and supplements recommended by our vet as well as a dog nutritionist. Hundreds of dollars, multiple vet & nutritionist visits, and a lot of very expensive bags of dog food and supplements later nothing seemed to be working. My fur baby was sluggish and having issues with her coat, you could just tell she wasn’t feeling great. Our next option was to try raw food. While researching raw food diets on a boxer forum I ran across a post about American Journey, specifically the Venison & Sweet Potato. I figured at this point why not try it as I really didn't want to deal with the raw food diet. To my amazement after 3 weeks her stool was normal for the first time in 2 years. She likes the food, she'll even stick her head in the storage bin and eat some out when we are refilling or getting some out to feed her. Her coat is looking great, she has put on 6 pounds, and is finally up to her ideal weight range. She just hit 56 pounds, which is the low end of where my vet wants her weight. All around this food saved my sanity and my fur baby is finally feeling and looking great!

My dog has terrible skin allergies and this food has been great for him! I had him on salmon for a long time, but he gained weight! He can’t tolerate chicken and corn and his coat and skin look great after being on this several months. If your dog has allergies it can be a nightmare, especially living in the south. The vet thinks it’s also environmental but a few months out of the year from about January to April his skin looks fab! He is on this food and also an occasional V-dog bone or proDEN sea kelp dental treat and old mother Hubbard just vegan biscuits. This regiment works for him. My heart goes out to all dog parents with allergic dogs! He is currently running on the treadmill to lose 4 pounds from all that salmon! I always check calories for him now.

I took a chance on buying this ginormous bag of venison and sweet potato dog food because I'm honestly desperate for solutions to a problem I have. The problem is that my cat is allergic to poultry and is on a limited protein venison only diet and there are not many venison only cat treats available on the market. There are freeze-dried and dehydrated venison cat treats but she really prefers a crunchy kibble like treat and I've been desperately trying to find something that would work. I have bought every venison treat on the market and most of them have been dog treats and while some of them have worked okay nothing has been as well received as this dog food kibble. I'm using it as treats for my cat. As such, the bag will probably last me the rest of her lifetime, or will actually probably expire before she eats it all. She absolutely loves them! This is the best thing that I've found so far as a crunchy cat treat for a cat on a venison only diet. While it may not be labeled as such and they can't tell you it's safe to feed to cats, I can guarantee you that it works for this purpose. Cats should eat a balanced cat-specific food, but as treats only, this product works! I'm so happy Chewy makes it!

Great LID Food For Allergy Dogs

I was very nervous switching my dogs (both have severe food allergies) from their other venison flavored LID food. My dogs have had reactions to other LID foods

I was very nervous switching my dogs (both have severe food allergies) from their other venison flavored LID food. My dogs have had reactions to other LID foods in the past. They've been on American Journey Grain Free Venison & Sweet Potato kibble for a week now & they love it & most importantly, aren't having allergic reactions. My dogs, I admit, are not picky eaters - they're pretty easy to please. But I can tell how much they like a food by how fast they eat & if they "clean" the bowl. They're gobbling this up & their bowls are sparkling when they're done. As with any food switch, I transitioned them by adding canned pumpkin while adding this to their usual food but only had enough old food for 3 days - no messy poops, no toots - they adjusted very well. I do throw some warm water & blueberries in so that's fun but I've also given the kibble to them as rewards & they enjoy it on its own. I also like that they're bigger kibbles (think flat ovals or flat circle shapes) than the tiny pebble kibbles of their other brand - these kibbles have a better chance of helping to clean their teeth. A good food! Don't be afraid to switch to this if your dog is on a venison flavor food due to food allergies. The price got my attention as their old food was raising prices a few times each year & that's an awful practice when people are forced to buy LID foods for their dogs. The price of American Journey LID food & the fact that my dogs love this & do well on it, made me decide to permanently add it to my monthly autoship. Way to go, Chewy - thanks for making a GOOD & AFFORDABLE LID dog food!!

I have sensitive tummy/allergy pups. We discovered chicken was a large culprit and you quickly discover chicken, chicken meal or chicken fat is practically in EVERYTHING! We switched to a fish based protein source which worked well for a while until it didn’t which left us searching for another safe food. A novel protein like venison works great! Unfortunately it’s not readily available at a lot of stores, or the brands available are insanely expensive and have a lot of filler and SURPRISE!! They also have some type of chicken in them which defeats the purpose (for us anyway!). Chewy stands behind their products so we were thrilled to see they make a limited ingredient food, with a novel protein that doesn’t include chicken and is affordable. My dogs LOVE it too!

Food is perfect for my pit after dealing with numerous allergies to food we tried just about every venison brand there was out there. We finally found something she loves and doesn’t break the bank. Been on it for about 3 months now and she still enjoys it. Only down fall I’ve noticed is the food has a strong smell out of the bag and makes her breath a little stinky after meal time. Other than that it’s a great food that she seems to be doing wonderful on. Food does have a little more fines at the bottom of the bag than usual and 2 of the 3 bags we’ve gotten so far have had some type of holes or cuts in the bag that I had to duct tape up.
