Blu thinks it's fine!
By Msconservative on Sep 28, 2021
Currently mixing 50/50 with his prior food for a break in period. He likes it and I am seeing no issues. Will start next week with all American journey, but I don't expect any problems.

GREAT FOOD!
By Lbichick3 on Jul 19, 2021
My dog loves this food!! This is one of the few that still passes my Vet's approval! More and more foods are added to the DO NOT feed your dog list! This one is still safe and comes in grain and grain free options!

By 2pupz on Jul 6, 2021

Excellent dog food.
By pamspets on May 3, 2021 top250Contributor
Our 9 month old collie puppy likes this food. We just started her on this when the food she originally had, became difficult to get. My only problem is that this kibble is very small. Much like the American Journey cat food we feed to our feline room mates. They need to make a larger kibble for large puppies.

Two thumbs up!
By Katie on May 6, 2021
Our puppy would get horrible diarrhea and even worse smelling farts from his previous food. I did some research and found this brand which had everything we were looking for. Not only did this stopped the bowel issues but his dandruff is a million times better which is an added bonus.

Great natural puppy food
By RachelM1979 on May 20, 2021
I didn't realize how many dog products have chemicals, and cancer causing ingredients in them. After some research, I switched my puppy over to this food. She loves it will even eat it without anything added into it.
