!Poor quality with recent recipe swap!
By DS21 on Feb 23, 2021
This is/was the only food that was reasonably priced that my goldendoodle could easily digest and enjoy without having digestive issues. In late fall or early winter the recipe was changed. Chewy notified me of change (I am on autoship) unfortunately the last two bags I have received are full of crumbled food. Unacceptable and unbelievable that Chewy would allow this. Is this because of your merger with PetSmart-- this is poor quality food for the price I pay. My dog also is not a big fan of this recipe change-- PLEASE GO BACK to Original Recipe!!!!!

My 2 big ones & 2 minis LOVE this
By Emelu on Feb 25, 2021
I have an older Vizsla, & 2 yr. old Weimaraner plus currently babysitting an older Chihuahua & a Shih Tzu puppy, and all 4 adore this brand and flavor. I cut it with 1/3 Beneful all natural chicken for puppies. Their vet can’t get over how shiny their coats are, and said she’s never seen cleaner chompers on such a motley crew! I’d highly recommend this to anyone’s fur baby.

All 3 dogs liked it
By JoeH on Feb 4, 2021
I bought this to switch things up a bit for my dogs since they were on the same food for about a year and they were starting to get bored with it. This is slightly cheaper and you get more than the American Journey stuff we were getting. The dogs enjoy it just fine and none of them have gotten sick from it. It's nice to know there's an alternative they like from the same brand. Would recommend.

Best dog food for sensitive dogs!
By AH987 on Dec 31, 2020
I have a 3 year old lab who has had a rash on her tummy since we got her as a 7 week old puppy, vets gave us antibiotic after antibiotic that would clear it up but not keep it away for long. After about 2-3 months it would come back. After doing some googling I decided to try a fish diet food, and it helped immediately!!! Her rash went away after a year of fighting it! She has been happy and healthy on this recipe “salmon, brown rice and vegetables”. I’ve recommended it to everyone I know who has dogs with sensitive skin or other issues and they’ve started using it as well and it’s helped. Stella, my lab, loves the taste! It’s pretty smelly food, so we keep it in a food bin, definitely has that I have a 3 year old lab who has had a rash on her tummy since we got her as a 7 week old puppy, vets gave us antibiotic after antibiotic that would clear it up but not keep it away for long.

High Quality
By EVLEFD on Jan 19, 2021
My now 2.5 y/o Aussie hasn’t had one stomach issue since starting this food. As a puppy he would have an upset tummy on almost every food we tried! As soon as we started on American Journey, his stomach issues resolved. No more vet visits, and he is healthy as can be. His coat is shinier than ever, and he absolutely loves his food. I would recommend this food to anyone! The quality ingredients, and price was a huge selling point for me.

Puppy Love
By Melissa on Jan 21, 2021
My dogs LOVE this food!! I've recently switched to American Journey Salmon because of a suspected allergy in my 3 yr old pit mix. On the previous brand she seemed reluctant to eat, and would suffer digestive issues. Now, she gobbles her food up and will try to go for seconds in my other pups bowl and no digestive issues. Very pleased with my satchel to American Journey.

Stinky Food, Stinky Poop
By Stinky on Feb 10, 2021
Makes my dog's breath, farts, and poop stink worse than I have ever smelled. I bet it's the brand recipe. My dog eats Salmon and Brown Rice with Veggies dog food from two other brands and her orifices do not smell so bad. I bet some other dogs don't get this reaction.

Wonderful recipe for shiny coats!
By evepitu on Jan 22, 2021
Our dogs' coats improved significantly in a few months after starting the salmon variety. Strong bones, good energy, easy in digestion. Lately we've seen more crumbs than before, wondering if handling during transportation can be a factor. Overall, excellent product experience.

Not appetizing
By Samantha on Feb 19, 2021
My dogs would never eat right when I feed them and sometimes would only eat half a bowl a day. I switched them to a different kind and they run to that food right away! Not sure why, but this must not taste too great.

Dogs Loved It
By MomNature on Dec 12, 2020
I've never been totally satisfied with the dry dog food you find at the store. A 14 lb bag is empty real soon and I don't think it is very nutritious, but it is light enough to bring home from the store. Tried Chewy delivery and it was so easy AND we ended up with twice as much food without the heavy lifting. Biggest thing is still the fact that 4 out 4 dogs loved the food. I usually add wet food on top and every dog goes to his appointed corner of the room and chows down.
