Excellent food for our pup!

This food is a big hit with our Dolly. She liked it so much we are on our second bag and will be switching to this food going forward. Usually she takes her time

This food is a big hit with our Dolly. She liked it so much we are on our second bag and will be switching to this food going forward. Usually she takes her time with dry food but this food she immediately dug into and was asking for more when it was gone! The nuggets have a high quality look to them and a pleasant texture and the freeze dried bits seem to be a favorite. When I opened the bag the food has a pleasant aroma which conjures up the mouth-watering aromas in a kitchen cooking good food; and the price is more than reasonable, in fact it's less expensive than the food we were feeding her with less enthusiasm from her. This is a great find and big win for our dog and our family!

labeling issue

My dog seems to like this product but I am concerned because it advertises as Freeze-Dried but also states on the package that it is kibble. It can't be both

My dog seems to like this product but I am concerned because it advertises as Freeze-Dried but also states on the package that it is kibble. It can't be both. Please clarify or have the supplier clarify. I don't think I want to purchase this product again if it indeed is kibble- over processed dog food. Thank you

My dogs really seem to enjoy this food. The kibbles are smaller, but a good size for a medium-sized dog. They also have a good crunch, which likely has a good side effect of helping to keep teeth clean. There are little bits of freeze-dried chicken mixed with the kibbles.

I received this item as a free trial promo to see how my 10 month old Pittie mix pup would like it. As much food as he can consume when we're not looking, he really liked this food. From the beginning when we got him his stomach has been iffy and picky to what it can tolerate and what destroys it. We give him dry kibble to graze on during the day and then at night we either add more kibble to mix with some wet food for his dinner. He absolutely loved this kibble with the mixed freeze dried chicken. It didn't give him gas at all (definitely a plus because if you have a bully breed, its awful) and it poop (sorry if TMI) was solid! The only down side I saw to this product is the price for a small bag when doing my research after my pup tried (and finished) the bag of food. I have an Amstaff/Pit/Mastiff mix, he's going to be big. A 10.5lb bag at anywhere from $24-36/bag is a little steep for my family. Overall, I truly liked this food for him and he loved it as well. I definitely would recommend.

A really good dog food

I like the fact that the crude fat is low, so if you're weight conscious for your dog or your dog has problems with weight, this is good, my dog has intermittent pancreatitis, and this food works well, she stopped pooping she doesn't vomit. She doesn't vomit. We use a topper on it, but it's small enough for her to chew it because small dogs tend to lose their teeth. And well it's a mix of hard and soft freeze-dried food. It's a good combo and it for a dog like mine. It is very substantial and it's something that she enjoys eating it and the price is very affordable and it has all the nutrition that she needs

The freeze dried morsels

This is the first dog food my Border Collie would eat. She is so finicky I would have to cook her chicken and eggs and rice, etc because she would not eat dog food,

This is the first dog food my Border Collie would eat. She is so finicky I would have to cook her chicken and eggs and rice, etc because she would not eat dog food, but she loves this food and eats every bite. When I brought it in the house she sniffed the bag like there were steaks in the bag and I had to put it on top of the kitchen counter. Thank you Nature’s Recipe for making my life easier!

I was so excited to try this food for my two picky dogs, Patsy and Pepper — and they absolutely loved it. As soon as I put it in their bowls, they ran over and started eating like it was our steak scraps. They’ve been a little picky with food lately, but not with this food. They devoured every last bite as soon as it went in the dish! Here are a few things I really liked: • The food smells fresh, not overly strong or fake. • The kibble size is just right — easy for both of our 50-55 lb dogs to chew. • It has a nice crunchy texture that keeps them interested, and they must love the flavor. It also seems to be sitting well with them. It feels great knowing I’ve found something they both enjoy and that seems to be good for them, too.

I conduct thorough investigations into any food I buy for Yogi. I was excited to find a dry kibble that listed meat as its first ingredient. I really had hoped that this was it. Sadly, I was again disappointed. Yogi refuses to eat it unless I put canned or cooked chicken in it. I assume its because of the chemical order which is quite strong. So, the hunt continues for a decent kibble. Cannot in good conscience recommend this kibble.

Freeze Dried Food

New brand of food for my dog so we used it as a treat on walks and training. He seemed to enjoy the flavor and had no sensitive belly problems from it.
