switched from wellness brand
By lucky on Feb 25, 2021
My puppy hadn’t been gaining weight. We adopted her at 9 weeks and continued to feed her the same type/ brand of food (Wellness grain free puppy). She became so uninterested in eating that I had to convince her with Primal Raw pellets / stew toppers/ fresh chicken mixed all over her food to make it palatable (I’m assuming). She’s 14.5 weeks now. We just got our bag of American Journey chicken and rice - I opened it and threw some on the ground... this pup just devoured it. She’s excited about it the way she would get about plain ole chicken and rice. I’m very impressed and happy that I don’t have to go through the hassle of adding tons of toppings to her food.

pup lost interest
By scoutsmom on Jan 26, 2021
We really wanted this food to work out. It has great ingredients, it’s affordable and it allows us to support Chewy which is a great company. We transitioned our puppy to this food when he came home with us and he did really well on it. He had good poops and no stomach upset. Towards the end of the first bag, he just lost interest one day. It’s like a switch flipped and he wouldn’t touch it. I opened a fresh bag we had on hand and he wouldn’t touch that either. It’s so strange because I used to be able to use the food in training, in a kong or a snuffle mat and now he won’t touch it. I’m not sure why.

easy on the tummy!
By lindz on Oct 27, 2020
My girl’s been having some tummy trouble and every time I tried to get her back on her old kibble she went back to liquid poop despite any progress she’d made on her bland food diet, even the smallest amount of that kibble mixed in and she was a mess. Ordered this food, haven’t fully moved her over to it but she’s keeping all her progress from the bland food with 1/2 this kibble mixed in! I’m impressed and she seems to think it’s delicious! (However I did get this on buy one get one free and it’s quite a pain to get 56 lbs of dog food from the package room in my building to my front door, wouldn’t have been upset if it had shipped separately!)

Shelter Donation

Great food
By Ldskinner on Dec 11, 2020
My puppies love this brand. They eat it constantly and have been since they were weaned. It helps them grow properly, they never sick from it because it is easy on their tummies and it lasts a while since it keeps them full.

Pups love it
By Crimson on Jan 4, 2021
My two puppies love this food after many failed attempts of trying Purina and Hill's brand food. My maltipoo pup is a super picky eater and will only eat this food.

Big pieces, bag doesn’t reseal, stale
By Pumpkin on Dec 13, 2020
These pieces are too big for my puppy to eat. And about twice the size of other “puppy” food. The bag also doesn’t reseal, so the 28lbs goes stale super fast even in a container. Waste of $.
