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.

Crafted for Tiny Explorers
Even the smallest dogs are always ready for the biggest adventures. These recipes are crafted with increased levels of protein and fat to meet the higher energy needs of your small breed dog. Bring them the nutrition they need to keep exploring, wherever adventure leads next.
Always Real Protein First
American Journey Active Life recipes always start with protein. That means real, deboned salmon or chicken to provide dogs the delicious protein they crave, with the essential amino acids they need for lean muscles and everyday energy.
SALMON - Source of omega-3 fatty acids like DHA and EPA.
CHICKEN - Lean source of essential minerals and B vitamins like niacin.
Nutrient-Packed Ingredients
Every ingredient is carefully selected for its nutritional value, including antioxidant-rich vegetables and whole grains. You won’t find any poultry by-product meals, corn, wheat, soy or artificial preservatives on this list.
SWEET POTATOES
A healthy source of beta-carotene and other naturally occurring vitamins and minerals.
CARROTS & PEAS
Rich in plant phytonutrients, beta-carotene and natural fibers to benefit digestion.
FLAXSEED & FISH OIL
Provide omega fatty acids to help maintain a healthy skin & coat.
BROWN RICE
A whole-grain, hearty source of complex carbohydrates for clean, sustained energy.
Designed for Smaller Bites
These kibble bits are specially designed for the smaller teeth and jaws of small-breed dogs. The bite-sized pieces are easier to chew and the crunchy texture works to scrub tartar as dogs eat to help support dental health.
Adventure-Ready Nutrition

Sustained Energy - Provides increased levels of protein and fat for everyday energy.
Skin & Coat Health - Balanced omegas to help maintain a radiant skin and coat.

So far so good.
By Tov996 on Dec 1, 2020
My dogs have been on Purina Pro plan and loved it. I’m not sure if they changed the recipe but my dogs would not eat it. I went to PetSmart and the salesperson recommended their brand of dog food and dogs just turned their nose up. I opened the box from Chewy and tails started wagging and my dogs started eating and looking for more food.

Great food for my Chihuahua
By Bellababyboom on Aug 4, 2020
I’ve got a 6 year old Chihuahua and he always tries to eat from the same bowl as my 85-lb Rhodesian. She loves American Journey and this is great food - he doesn’t need to be jealous and the kibble is his size. #ChewyTeamRated

Dogs are loving this!
By Frankie on Aug 2, 2020
My dog really loves this food. Normally they'll eat any dog food, but when they smelled this one they just went crazy for it! I like seeing them happy about food vs eating because they know it's that time. #chewyteamrated
