American Journey Chicken & Sweet Potato Recipe Grain-Free Puppy Dry Dog Food

Researched a lot of different brands for our new Great Pyrenees boy and went with American Journey several months ago. He absolutely loves his food and can't wait for his meal times. He frolicks around like a giant ball of fluff when he's about to get his food. My main reason for this brand was because it has a higher glucosamine/condroitin supplement in it versus other brands (even large breed puppy foods). So, I don't feel the need to substitute a supplement in his food beyond what is present. We will look at this brand for adult food when we make the transition for him.

I have a 90 lb 9 month old lab and a 15 lb 11 week old bloodhound. They both love American Journey and are doing very well on it. My lab is going to be a pretty large dog and I really love this dog food because it’s grain free and really affordable for two large dogs. My labs coat is super shiny and healthy. The vet complimented him on it and I don’t do anything special but I know it’s the dog food. My bloodhound puppy could eat the whole bag if I let her. And it’s really easy on both their stomachs. The bloodhound is a little more sensitive than the lab. But they both have healthy stool, never runny and they never strain to go to the bathroom. Sorry if that’s tmi but I had to buy a bag of beneful I have a 90 lb 9 month old lab and a 15 lb 11 week old bloodhound. They both love American Journey and are doing very well on it.

Overall a great brand, quality products at an affordable price. … more

I wrote a lengthy review on the Adult formula. But thought I would review this formula as well since we have a 9 month old Boxer pup that we switched to American journey about 6 weeks ago also. She is doing wonderfully on this food! She loves it and seems to have zero digestive issue with it. We'll be switching her to the adult formula in a few months!

Our 5 month old, 52 pound GSD is doing very well on American Journey puppy food. He's not growing faster than he should and he's lean. An active, playful, alert, streamlined pup with a thick, beautiful coat who absolutely LIVES to eat is a joy- and the right food plays an integral part of proper growth and health. A happy pup means a happy Mom.

I have a 5 month old Newfoundland that has an apparent sensitive stomach, she's had her food switched 2 times before I started feeding her this. She loves it, it doesn't upset her stomach and she eats it eagerly. I was hesitant at first after reading some bad reviews, but there hasn't been any recalls as far as I know. And every dog is different, I suggest getting a small bag and seeing how your puppy takes to it before buying a full size.

We have 2 DDR German Shepherds. They're 2 years old now. I've always fed them 4.5-5 star foods, as rated by the Dog Food Advisor. I like to give them a variety of flavors, but not all foods have much of a selection. I'm also concerned about the origin of the ingredients. I decided to give American Journey a try. With 4 flavors, I can rotate their foods frequently. The price is about the best I've found for 5 star foods. I switched to AJ 3-4 months ago. First, I noticed no digestive problems while switching. My babies LOVE all 4 flavors of this food, and that's saying quite a bit, because my Isabella is a bit picky.

Their poo has gotten smaller and less frequent. I've noticed less flatulence with both dogs. But, the most amazing thing is their body odor. About 2 weeks ago, I noticed a total lack of doggie odor! I thought it was my imagination, but sure enough, neither dog smells, and trust me, they could use a good bath. It's been one heatwave after another here in WV. My dogs have not had a bath for a year. If you know anything about GSD's, they constantly shed and they totally blow their coats 2x per year. Both have been blowing their coats this month, usually a time when their BO increases. But, not only do they not stink, their ears and feet have no odor. If you didn't see 2 huge German shepherds, and didn't see hair, you'd never know we have dogs. You'd think that all 5 star foods would eliminate doggie odor. They don't. As I said, my dogs have been on the food for 3-4 months now, so if you switch, give it at least 3-4 months for your dog's bodies to cleanse the old ingredients. My dogs have extremely white teeth, their coats are shiny and healthy, and they don't have an ounce of excess weight, which is extra important because of their size and breed. This comes from feeding them excellent foods from the day they came home with us. But, I have to state that the American Journey Lamb, Chicken, Beef, or Salmon, with Sweet potatoes, are unquestionably the best foods that we've ever used. … more

I cant recommend this dog food because my ridgeback cannot tolerate it. I transitioned very little at a time and it just can't compare to instincts raw boost for large breed puppies.it gives her the runs. I believe it's a great dog food but just not for her. I also purchased nutrish and Hill's with the same result.

I have a 4 y/o Aussie names Fionn and a 7 m/o GSDx names Rigby. They both eat American Journey and I feel it is by far the best brand on the market in this price range. My Aussie has allergy issues and they cleared up when we started feeding him this. Rigby eats the puppy chicken version and is growing big and strong, which is especially important because she’s a parvo survivor who wasn’t expected to make it. Thanks Chewy!

I bought this for my new pup who wasn't on a grain free diet before we got him. He had horrible eye drainage when we brought him home, but within days after introducing this food it stopped. I assumed it would decrease due to lack of grains, but the drainage is completely gone! I love that the recipe has higher protein than every other brand I compared it to. It didn't cause any stomach upset while switching which was nice. My only complaint is that the pieces are quite large. I would love to see American Journey make this for small breed/toy puppies.

I am currently on blue Buffalo grain free puppy food but once they are out of that almost I'm going to gradually switch back to sweet potato and chicken I believe this one is I can save money by buying 12lbs verses 10lbs for 24.99 the 12lb is this puppy food. Although I don't have it I'm going to write review.
