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!)

Gunners first puppy chow
By Betsy on Aug 25, 2020
Our new puppy is enjoying his new food which was recommended by Chewy. I have used Chewy for years with our previous beagle that we sadly lost to illness. So far so good, I also just ordered and received a needed muzzle to help cut down on puppy “nips”! I highly recommend Chewy.

Fergie Approved!
By Meg0129 on Jul 18, 2020
I have a Great Pyrenees/Hound/Lab mix and she absolutely devours this - we are on our third bag! The ingredients are great (no bad fillers) and we have a very happy dog on our hands. Happy that the transition to the adult food will be seamless with similar flavors. My brother recommended this because his Husky loves it, so glad we bough it!

highly recommend!
By Sara on Jun 22, 2020
My 3 month old Australian Shepherd Mix has had digestive issues & most food was giving him diarrhea. However, within a week of switching over to American Journey, we have not had any issues since & it has been a little over a month. He likes it so much that I had to get a maze feeder!

Food change
By Maggie on Aug 7, 2020
I was recently told by my vet that my older dog might be better on puppy food as she’s been losing weight. Bought same brand that I’ve been buying and my dog loves it.
