These guidelines are recommendations only, and should be adjusted based upon your dog's health, body condition, life stage, sex, activity and climatic temperature.
Gradually transition by adding a small amount of American Journey to your dog's current diet, reducing the amount of the current diet and increasing the amount of American Journey for 7-10 days until the transition is complete. For sensitive dogs, we recommend a 10 - 14 day transition.

I like it but----
By Sweetwater on Feb 5, 2021
I had my dogs on nutrish which they liked but I could not get the weight off them so I thought I would try American Journey healthy weight but they don't like it. Im sure now they will lose some weight! The food looks like good quality ingredients so will continue with the full bag and see if they will adjust.

Too much powder
By mkd0511 on Feb 21, 2021
My dogs have been on this brand for a little over year now and like it and have also maintained their weight. The only issue I have is the last 2 bags I bought did have a lot of powder in the bottom of the bag.

Great Experience
By Jabbo on Dec 29, 2020
Our vet recommended that we go with a lower calorie food for our Yellow Lab. She had gained 20 lbs. over a one year period. We were concerned that our dog would not like this food, since she had been given another brand her entire life. She LOVES this new food, and we couldn't be happier with the ease of ordering and the fast delivery!

Not the quality I expected
By Nicole on Jan 3, 2021
I have this brand on auto ship. My dogs love the taste, however, the bag I received on December 7th is mealy and powdery. When the food is scooped out, there is lots of food dust. I am not happy. The bag prior to this was great. Was this bag dropped numerous times? Stored improperly? What happened!?

My picky eater eats it
By Bethany on Feb 19, 2021
I have two cattle dogs and despite lots of exercise 50% of them are overweight. They both like this food and my picky eater eats this better than her last kibble.

Always Yummy
By RiosCandice on Dec 18, 2020
Both of our dogs love anything from American Journey. So when they gained a little “quarantine weight” our vet suggested a reduced calorie diet. We didn’t want to put them through any digestion issues by switching brands so we were happy to see American Journey had an option. They love it, no tummy issues and they’re getting back to their ideal weight.

Lots of Powdered Food In Bags
By NOLADogMom on Nov 28, 2020
We first used the grain free version of Healthy Weight food but decided to switch to the "vegetable & rice". My dogs seem to love it but I noticd the quality of the actual kibble pieces is lacking. I thought one of the bags had been beat up in shipping which caused a bunch of kibble to be broken but that doesn't seem to be the case. Every bag has loads of powdered dog food in it. It's odd. Not sure if I'm going to stick with this formula based solely on this. Other than that my dogs (all 8) who eat this love it.

By Duke on Dec 18, 2020
My dog was super overweight tried Costco brand dog food it didn't work, tried American journey and it is awesome, he has lost so much weight and lost it rather quickly. The vet was concerned did bunch of blood work on him and came back healthy as can be!! And already recommended to friends.

No one likes it
By DrDee on Dec 27, 2020
I had high hopes after reading many of the positive reviews, unfortunately my two schnauzers and one dachshund (who eats everything) won’t eat it. I guess it just tastes bad as they have never refused to eat anything. $40.00 down the drain....
