Stella & Chewy's Wild Red Raw Coated Kibble Wholesome Grains Red Meat Recipe Dry Dog Food, 3.5-lb bag

I have searched tirelessly over the last few years to find an actual dog food that Mia would eat and was starting to think it wasn't ever going to happen. Once I got my first Stella & Chewy's product at a local pet store I thought there may be a bit of hope left, as Mia eagerly devoured it - if I hadn't seen it with Mt own eyes I honestly don't think I would have believed it had someone else told me! I was psyched and proceeded to buy more online. Mia has loved the various flavors if meal toppers & dinner patties that I've bought, but apparently something in these items is dangerous and/or just doesn't agree with her though she LOVES it, sadly. In 4 years it's never happened until starting this food that Mia was severely straining when 'doing her business' to the point that it was like rock solid, she was yelping trying to poo, there was blood in her bum that I could see, and this resulted in 2 different emergency vet appointments that costed me hundreds of dollars. Vet basically told me it was due to the food and she has colitis. Told me to stop it all and put her on a wet prescription food which she's not a fan of...surprise surprise. Also had to go on an antibiotic, prebiotic, etc. These past couple of weeks have been incredibly trying for both Mia and Mias mom. I could go further into detail, but I can't imagine many people want to hear about it. All in all, I have to say positives about the food but also obvious negatives. The best thing was how eagerly Mia ate the food. I thought it sounded very healthy with all of the information on the packaging until the vet told me about marketing and how things are worded certain ways and not always 100% accurate/truthful, which is incredibly upsetting that any company in the dog food industry wouldn't be transparent and actually care about the lives of the furbabies...some of us love our babies more than anything else in this world, and I'd go to the end of earth to do what's best for my pups - the least people can do is be honest. Sorry. Anyways, some other negatives would be how expensive the products are in general. Thankfully Mia is small - I can't imagine how expensive it would be for a large dog. The biggest negative is the health concerns and amount of money I had to spend out of pocket in vet bills. I had initially fed it dry and then switched to rehydrating it before giving it to her, and the problem still persisted. If the medical problems hadn't happened once I started feeding this brand to her, I wouldn't have much negative to share. I don't know if this is a common experience or not, but I'd encourage you to use caution.
