Can I switch between the American Journey Active Life Recipes?
American Journey Active Life Formulas are designed that that you can change up the flavor between Beef, Chicken, Salmon and Lamb depending on the preference of your dog.

Excellent food/ our dogs LOVE IT!
By Boxermom on Apr 6, 2021
We had our Boxers on Iams for several years. It was getting difficult to find and after reading the ingredients on Iams and American Journey we knew for our dogs nutritional health we needed to switch. We did the partial Iams and small parts AJ to start , as we added more AJ they began leaving the Iams in their bowels so we switched them over to American Journey 100% including limited ingredient canned food mixed in for extra meat and moisture for their skin and fur. We have had ZERO incidents of vomiting as they did on Iams , smaller stools , means less we have to pick up and no severe gas issues as they had on Iams and we have even noticed they no longer have “dog breath” which they had very We had our Boxers on Iams for several years.

Best thing about AJ is that my three different life stage dogs can all eat the same food, HUGE money saver!! Also my mother’s Maltese had been on a no eating binge since my father passed away suddenly we tried everything and then I gave him some AJ All life stages and he couldn’t eat it fast enough!! Happy to say he is still eating the kibble and this makes my mom and us very happy! Thank you Chewy for making a superior product. … more

Not so great after the "new look"
By Jared on Mar 16, 2021
We have used American Journey for a few years without incident. For whatever reason, after the bag changed, I noticed that the ingredients changed slightly as well. For whatever reason, my dog has had really bad gas since the change. Not sure if it's coincidental, specific to the bag we got or unrelated. We switched to another food without incident

Excellent all around
By Danielle on Jan 4, 2021
My dad trains competition and police K-9s and he likes to get super expensive, high quality dog foods. When I first got my dog as a puppy my sophomore year of college I followed his advice, but my college budget could not keep up with the $50+ bags of dog food. I did extensive research to find a budget friendly high quality brand of dog food and discovered American Journey. My dog has been on American Journey for over 2 years. I absolutely love this brand. The ingredients are amazing compared to other brands I've seen and the price is perfect. My only concern is the food recommendation is pretty high.

Hound dog loves it
By copper on Feb 28, 2021
I have a black and tan coonhound and she absolutely loves this dog food! I waited 4 months before I wrote a review just incase anything odd happened, but nothing has. She is very happy and very healthy!

so. much. poop.
By than on Mar 11, 2021
My dog absolutely LOVES the food. But going from purina pro plan to this, her poop amount has increased double and maybe even more. Her poop is really large too. Maybe a lot of fillers?

Awesome Food!
By KodaBear on Jan 12, 2021
We started this food last year when my dog was 12. We originally bought the chicken flavor. I noticed that my dog would start itching her ears and her tear ducts would be runny after she'd eat. I changed her food to the lamb formula and those issues stopped. My dog is 13 now and she still loves the food. This food is a good price for a healthier diet.

Mine love it!
By Randi on Jan 27, 2021
My 3 y/o heeler decided he didn’t want his old food anymore, so we made the transition to this one. He loved it! We ultimately ended up switching to another food because he got bored with it again, but that’s just how he is lol. It got here super fast, too

Doesn't like salmon, trying chicken
By Vics on Mar 14, 2021
My rescue doesn't like, trying the chicken and same brand. I believe in Chewy brands. Plus salmon is overused now days.

My picky baby loves it!!!
By Elizabeth on Dec 4, 2020
My GSD was very picky and would only eat her science diet if I put wet food on top. She eats this with no need for wet food. She enjoys it and actually finishes her bowl!! I’ve done a lot of research on different foods and I’m so happy I got away from science diet. I am so confident in the ingredients in American Journey and can trust what I’m giving my fur baby. GREAT QUALITY, GREAT PRICE! Thank you chewy!!!
