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.
Who is American Journey? Where is it manufactured?
American Journey is currently available at Chewy.com and PetSmart. American Journey Active Life recipes are manufactured in California following strict quality standards and FDA regulations.
What is Active Life?
The American Journey Active Life Formula is a well-rounded, balanced diet crafted with real, deboned animal protein as the first ingredient plus nutrient-rich vegetables like sweet potatoes and carrots. Every bite delivers a precise blend of nutrients and antioxidants to support a healthy immune system and overall well-being, and balanced omegas to support a healthy skin and coat. There’s also natural fiber from wholesome, easy-to-digest grains like brown rice and barley. Plus, there is never any wheat, corn, soy or artificial ingredients.
Why did the packaging change?
American Journey formulas have always provided complete and balanced nutrition to help support your dog’s health and wellbeing. We updated the packaging to highlight the benefits of the formula and to provide emphasis on what makes our products special and a great option for your dog.
What are the benefits of having as chicken as the first ingredient?
Chicken is an excellent source of protein and essential amino acids to support healthy muscles. Chicken along with the other ingredients in this diet provides complete and balanced nutrition for your dog’s active life.
How long will the food last after I open the bag?
Once opened, dry dog food typically lasts 6-8 weeks. For extended freshness, you can place the dry food in an airtight storage container.
What are the main differences between the regular and the senior American Journey Brown Rice formulas?
American Journey Senior diets are formulated with antioxidants to support normal brain health in aging dogs. They also contain natural sources of Glucosamine and Chondroitin to support hip and joint health and overall mobility. With omega fatty acids to support a healthy skin and coat and Vitamin A to support vision health your senior dog will have the nutrients they need to live a normal healthy life. This diet is ideal for dogs 7 years or older who may need a diet that focuses on the specific nutrients needs of senior dogs. Please remember to consult your Vet if you have questions regarding the specific needs of your dog.
Can I switch between the American Journey Active Life Recipes?
American Journey Active Life Formulas are designed that that you can change up the flavor between Beef, Chicken, Salmon and Lamb depending on the preference of your dog. However, if you plan on transitioning to a new American Journey kibble flavor, we still recommend mixing the food gradually for 7-10 days until the transition is complete. For sensitive dogs, we recommend a 10-14-day transition.
Where are the ingredients sourced?
American Journey sources from reputable suppliers in the US and worldwide, dependent upon availability. For example, the chicken, beef, and turkey proteins are sourced from the USA, the lamb comes from New Zealand and Australia and the salmon is sourced from the Americas.
Does this diet provide all the essential vitamins and minerals?
All American Journey Active Life Formulas provide precise levels of vitamins, minerals and other trace nutrients to support a healthy active life.
Does this diet provide antioxidants?
Yes, all American Journey Active Life Formulas provide antioxidants such as Vitamin E and Selenium to support a healthy immune system and overall wellbeing.
How many cups are in a bag?
There are approximately 18 cups in the 4-lb bag, 64 cups in the 12-lb bag, and 127 cups in the 28-lb bag. The Large Breed formula has approximately 130 cups in the 28-lb bag.
What is the size of the kibble?
The kibble size measures 12 x 5mm for standard formulas, a little larger than the size of a green pea.

AmericanJourneySenior
By LillysMom on Aug 12, 2020
Lilly seems to really like it; no problems transitioning. At the point, I say this is a winner! I just wished it came in a smaller bag!!! Please consider producing the senior variety in 14 or 15 pound bag. With 1 dog this bag will last a while, and hoping it remains fresh til the end.

PRICE vs NUTRITION WINNER
By rescuemom on Jul 8, 2020
During these times of COVID19, I'm finding I have to get the best price I can but I don't want to feed my girls junk. Income is lower, prices are higher. I love my girls, one almost 11 yrs. old, the other is 17, and I want to feed them the best that I can afford. This seems to be it. They love it almost as much as I love them!

Finally found THE ONE!!
By KatTM6987 on Apr 26, 2020
I have a 13 1/2 y/o pittie, who has never had any health issues until about a year ago when she started to have frequent digestive issues (diahrrea). X-rays, Ultrasound, bloodwork, etc showed nothing life-threatening, just things to "keep an eye on", age-related issues. In the meantime, went the boiled chix/steamed rice diet route and a week of antibiotics and all got better. As soon as I started reintroducing her regular food back into her diet, the whole cycle repeated. (Something to note is that the food I had been feeding her was a Senior Formula, "Easy To Digest") Back to the chix/rice for another 2-3 weeks then tried another Senior Formula, "Easy To Digest" food with the I have a 13 1/2 y/o pittie, who has never had any health issues until about a year ago when she started to have frequent digestive issues (diahrrea).

Happy doggie, happy momma! I highly recommend! … more

Picky Eaters

Trying something new for my elderly princesses. They seem to like it but not as well as the other brand. I like the ingredients & price.

Why ask me?
By SSCamaro369 on Jun 12, 2020
I'll give it 4 stars as my dog seems to like it. Either that or shes just hungry. Maybe if Chewy.com asked her to review it she might give 5 stars. I don't know. I'm not the one eating it.

Smells bad
By Michelle on Apr 18, 2020
My dog will not eat this food. By the way it smells, I can't say I blame him. I've tried adding warm chicken broth. I've tried mixing in things like cooked eggs or green beans. He absolutely will not eat it. Very unusual for him because my shepherd/husky mix will eat anything. :(

Great results.
By Micosgranny on Mar 4, 2020
I have a 15 year old whippet mix that was beginning to act her age. She had become very inactive and had problems moving. After just one bag she became active again, chasing squirrels up a tree and running through the yard. She's back to climbing the stairs and furniture again without problem. I will continue buying American Journey Senior recipe for the rest of her life. It's worth a couple dollars more a month to know it's helping her feel better.
