Ingredients


Who is the Corporate Manufacturer of this food,and are any of the ingredients sourced from China or Australia?

Answer by ChewyNov 24, 2020
Petcurean is the parent company of this brand. When it comes to ingredient sourcing, you can rest assured that the animal source proteins, grains, cereals, fruits and vegetables in the GO! SOLUTIONS, NOW FRESH, and GATHER recipes are sourced from North America (as close to the production facility as possible). The manufacturer's primary suppliers are based in Canada, however, due to some limits on availability, they have some USA based ingredient suppliers. Also, the venison and pasture raised lamb is sourced from New Zealand and Australia.

Our 11-year-old Chihuahua mix rescue is missing the top teeth on one side and the bottom teeth on the other. We struggled to find some hard food for him that was kind to his tummy (and that he would actually eat). He LOVES this kibble, he has no gastro problems at all with it, and his poo has never been better. He gets 3 tbsp a day plus some soft food, and this does the trick. He will gobble and can get a little bit choked on it if we put it all in a bowl. So, we give him a few kibbles at a time while we watch TV until he has his serving. This food is perfect for his sweet little old toothless self. We (and he) are so glad we found it!

Perfect food for little dogs

My 3kg Chihuahua loves this food. The kibble is also TINY which she appreciates, makes it very easy to chew. Not only is it small, but it is also not very dense

My 3kg Chihuahua loves this food. The kibble is also TINY which she appreciates, makes it very easy to chew. Not only is it small, but it is also not very dense which makes it easy to crunch. I've added a photo of the food next to some Zuke's Mini Naturals treats to help show size. Some benefits I like about this food is that the calories are quite a bit lower than most other high quality brands. My dog can eat more of this food without gaining weight. She no longer begs like she did on other foods that she had to eat teeny tiny portions on. I am also a fan of the very low phosphorus and moderate amount of sodium. Good for keeping senior dogs healthy (my dog is 12). Output is great, just one small stool once a day and very easy to pass. That is a huge improvement for my dog as other foods have caused her to bounce between being constipated to having diarrhea.

Our Senior Cairn Loves This Food

We have two Cairn Terriers - one is 3 years old and our Senior guy is 10 years old. Our Senior Cairn is a little overweight. It’s always a concern for us because we don’t want extra weight to affect his joint health as he ages. He always seems hungry so we’ve been looking for a good quality Senior Weight Control dry food that allows us to feed him an amount that satisfies his hunger & helps us control his weight. He has only been on “Now Fresh” brand a short time but we already notice he doesn’t act like he’s “starving” all the time. I was concerned with how small the kibble was - afraid he would just swallow it whole instead of chewing it but he crunches it up just fine. Time will tell if we can also get some weight off him. We know we’re not over-feeding & it’s nice to see him satisfied between feeding instead of hungry all the time! Because of the ingredients & quality we will continue to buy “Fresh Now” brand

I have dachshunds and as they are getting older, they are beginning to have health problems. The vet wanted my furkids on Rx formulas for urinary tract issues and a low-fat for gastro issues. I read the ingredients and felt like my babies deserved better than rendered animal meal (YUCK!) so I started researching for foods. I decided to go with Petcurean for several reasons: 1. NO RENDERED ANIMAL PROTEIN SOURCES! Zero! Zip! Nada! 2. I was able to talk to a real live person who is also a nutritionist as well at Petcurean (Thanks Michelle! You were VERY patient with me and my endless questions!) and finally, the fat content is at 9-10% where the Rx GLF formula was almost 19%!!! (low fat? I think NOT!) My kids are all doing GREAT on this food! They love the taste of it and the cute little small kibbles too! I add green beans at night and feed level measuring cups of the food and they are all losing weight! Their fur is glossy and soft. No one is licking paws and my little mini dachshund is acting like a puppy again! I love the company philosophy at Petcurean and getting it from Chewy is just an added bonus!

Five Stars For Sure

We have a slightly chunky senior teacup Yorkie who would eat 24 hours a day if we let her. She is an emotional support animal for my husband and has become the center of our universe now that we are both older. But she gains weight at the drop of a hat. She'd literally eat herself to death if we let her. So I was looking for a lower calorie, healthier diet for her so she could eat enough to feel full but not gain weight. I read reviews until my eyes bled. She can be a little bit of a picky eater; so when I decided to order this and feed it to her, she turned up her nose at it for about a day. Then she plowed into it and it's by far her favorite food. I think it was more an emotional protest than one of taste because she loves all things chicken or duck. I can feed her the same amounts of this food as I was of the other food and she doesn't gain weight. Yay! It lasts a long time, seems to stay fresh, and travels well, since we fly a lot.....with her in hand. So I highly recommend this product!

This is the second bag I ordered from Chewy but I noticed that the Now brand has changed their packaging and their ingredients are not the same. Left photo is the first bag I ordered a few months ago and the photo on the right is the second bag I received a few weeks ago. The kibbles in this new batch don’t look the same - the color, texture and size of the kibbles are uneven and have small holes as you can see in the photo I took. The actual kibbles don’t look like the picture on the packaging. My dog threw up twice after eating and I had to stop feeding this new batch immediately. I ordered 2 bags of different flavor of orijin brand and my dog has no problem with them so far. I hope Chewy or Now make a note in the description that they have changed their ingredients. I’m definitely returning it and will not order this brand again.

I bought this for my 5 lbs, 13 year old Yorkie, about 2 months ago. I put in quite a few hours of research trying to find a quality senior, small breed food that was also chicken-free and grain-free. Had to be quality food, no: corn, wheat, soy, or by-products. Check. I was afraid she might be developing an allergy so I decided to just stay away from the 2 most common dog food allergies - chicken and grain. Check. She's prone to weight gain since her back legs are weak and she doesn't get around like she used to, so I had to make sure the protein and fat were on the low end for a small breed. Check. It also had to be a small kibble considering her size and tendency to not chew but rather "hoover" her food. Check. She is doing fantastic on this food and she loves it!

I have tried a lot of foods with my little Havanese. He has been biting his legs forever. I’ve tried sprays creams everything I could think of. Now he is getting better. The only way I could get him to eat is to add canned food. I bought both the NOW dry petite and also the canned food. He cannot wait until I get through with my work in the mornings so that I can feed him.

This food is extremely specific and perfect for my little rescue pack. Where else can you find a grain-free, no chicken, weight management formula for older toy breed dogs? We have 5 dogs (3 Yorkies, 1 Maltese, 1 over-weight Chihuahua) of ages ranging from 11 to 6.5 years old with joint issues. The itsy-bitsy kibble size is great for the Yorkies with zero to 3 teeth and everyone loves the taste. Since she started on this, the Chihuahua is now loosing weight at a nice pace. The grain-free, no chicken formula has helped firm up stools - yay! It is very expensive but mixed with some small breed limited-ingredient kibble and canned food helps stretch it out and adds variety. This is superb dog food that helps keep them active and healthy!

We have tried this product before and our dogs loved it, the kibble is smaller than I expected but they enjoyed the food just the same. I like how the bag can be sealed but more than that the dogs really enjoy this food, I feel I am getting a quality food that will improve their health.
