Pumpkin perfect!

I was pleasantly surprised when we received this food. I can smell the pumpkin in it and didn’t expect our pup to like even give it the time of day but she loved

I was pleasantly surprised when we received this food. I can smell the pumpkin in it and didn’t expect our pup to like even give it the time of day but she loved it! We only feed high quality food to our girl and while this does contain chicken and turkey meal, it is NOT by product meal, it’s high quality. I love that the food is cooked in the USA and chicken is the main ingredient. The food is disc shaped which is nice because it doesn’t roll if the bowl is accidentally spilled. It has both prebiotics and probiotics for digestions, as well as vitamins and minerals to support bones, teeth, joints, heart, skin and coat. I love the unique blend and health support of this food and our baby thinks it’s delicious.

We used to always feed Natural Balance Synergy, but when that was discontinued, I had a hard time finding a food my picky eater would eat. He always sniffs a new food and then turns up his nose. I took one handful out of the bag and offered to him, and he started eating it right away with real interest. I particularly like the 6 health benefits and the fact it has grains and a probiotic. The only improvement would be to have it in a resealable bag for the smaller sizes.

Truly Balanced Dog Food

When it comes to my 17-lbs Shih Tzu, I’m always looking for kibbles that have balanced nutritions AND not gain-free. In short, I just want to play as safe as I could

When it comes to my 17-lbs Shih Tzu, I’m always looking for kibbles that have balanced nutritions AND not gain-free. In short, I just want to play as safe as I could. This food hits all the marks and my boy love its taste from the get go. My only two minor reservations are: 1) the kibble size is learning towards the bigger side, so if you have a tiny tiny dog, maybe it’s too big. My Shih Tzu can eat it with no problem. 2) the big is not self-closing like most other dog food. Just wish companies could use self-closing bags.

I bought this because my Australian Shepard Brutus just quit eating his regular food. This is actually the second time. His hair is dull and he has diarrhea every few months. I actually meant to purchase the Salmon and Rice version and must have picked the chicken and rice by mistake. But Brutus loves it. I bought some Natural Balance Salmon and Rice canned food as a topper which he really likes and will most likely purchase it in the dry as well. All in all I feel this is a quality food, reasonably priced. The big plus is he has no diarrhea!

I received this product to use as a supplement when my dogs food is low. They get Blue Buffalo chicken and rice as their main food, but I got this to mix in for the health benefits. Both dogs (15+senior and 2yr old) enjoy eating it mixed in with their regular. I have not given by itself as to not cause digestive issues. I would definitely purchase again!

Both of my dogs are pretty picky eaters but this is a food they both enjoy! I used to need to add toppers or anything to try and get them to eat, they both willingly eat this food plain. My shihtzu (as picky as they can be) generally eats this food plain with me having to add toppers occasionally (which is so rare for him!). Love the ingredients in this food and my dogs do too.

We recently moved and needed to switch our 5yr old mix to a new food. After a lot of research, we decided this was close in main ingredients and a step up in quality for her. The transition was super easy and she had no issues.

I was looking for a food that my large dogs (3 @ 140 lbs) would not eat as much and still feel satisfied. I heard about Fat Dog and tried that with success and then found this, same manufacturer. The dogs are eating less compared to Science Diet Light, and they seem to like it. So a good alternative.
