American Journey Limited Ingredient Grain-Free Venison & Sweet Potato Recipe Dry Dog Food

We have four dogs and of those four our youngest, Riley has allergies. We feed our dogs grain free Members Mark from Sam's and our dogs love it. When we rescued Riley last year and he started eating it we noticed his eyes running and started having what I call "goop" in his eyes (yellow mucus). His nose would start running and he would cough. It was really bad when he had the chicken and not as bad when he had the salmon. So when I found American Journey and seen that they had a limited ingredient selection I was excited. So I started with the Salmon since I knew he didn't have as much of a problem with the Member's Mark brand. Guess what, no goop and no runny nose! He loved it too.

So, then we got the turkey and the goop along with the runny nose was back. So, I'm thinking one thing he's allergic to is poultry. So, that's why we haven't gotten the duck because I'm afraid that he will have the same reaction he did with the turkey, but we've been rotating the lamb and salmon. We just finished his first bag of the Venison and he loved it! So we will be adding the venison into the rotation as well! … more

We were feeding blue wilderness grain free red meat dry kibble to our Maltese and 6 yr old German Shepherd. The shepherd, possibly through a common genetic immunocompromised disease in GS's appears to have colitis with fistulas, (& easily gets staph infections sinice staph is everywhere, unfortunately)but very sadly, developed perianal fistulas which are a serious disease which there is no known cure, but sometimes remission. One of the many things you must do is switch to a novel protein diet meaning a protein theyve not had before, and find out what they're allergic to( fleas, pollen, stuff in grass, household dust mites, certain foods, perfumes, detergent, and on and on).

So besides spending the last six weeks on multiple meds, and baths three times a week, we changed to American Journey Venison & sweet potato dry kibble. They switched in just under a week, but what surprised me is they are happily taking the dry kibble as treats! This just doesn't happen here! It's way too soon to tell if this diet will help her, but we are impressed! We cook ground venison as a topper, but even when we skip the cooked meat, they still Gobble it up! That's one less thing I've got to worry about! Thx AJ and chewy! God bless, I do wish you only had one carb in there, though. Maybe lose the chick peas? … more

Unfortunately, my two dogs both turned their nose up at this dog food. They are very picky eaters and finding a food has proven very difficult. I’m desperate to find something they will eat and I was hoping this was the food because of the good reviews, but not for my two spoiled fur babies. I’m sure this is a very good food, and the only reason I gave it a low star is because my two will not touch it.

Every once and awhile my chiweenie hacks up yellow foamy stomach acid and on this food he no longer gets tummy aches. This may sound silly but I can tell when he loves a food because he rolls on the pieces before he eats them. My beagle likes this food so much i wonder if he really tastes it. He cries for this food if I'm a little late for his feedings and I've never had him drool for feedings but while scooping into his bowl drool pours out of his mouth with this food. I'm Impressed and my boys are happy!

Thought I'd give Am. Journey a try as it was very comparable ingredient-wise to what my two golden doodles had been successfully eating for 9 yrs. Mixed the two brands together initially so they could adjust. However, when I went solely to Am. Journey, my dogs refused to eat it. Seems they would rather starve! When I insisted and they ate some by my hand feeding, they both became ill! I CAN NOT recommend this brand. Sorry. Am back to their tried and true previous brand.

I bought this food last week for my Canine Companions for Independence assistance dog. It more economical version of the limited ingredient venison food that she was eating before. I just started transitioning her slowly last week, but it is going well! I definitely recommend trying it!

Jane loves it and I love the ingredients! I’m glad i received an email advertising for it. Jane gobbles it up at feeding time. I’ve been trying to find a food that doesn’t have citric acid in it because they think critic acid may lead to bloat which is something I’m paranoid about.

This dog food is great...my dogs are doing well on it and seem to enjoy it...the issue I am having is there is a lot of powder in the food...it is similar to the bottom of the bag when you get the powder...but this is throughout the entire bag

A difffernt brand caused an allergic reaction, e.g. red splotches on my dog’s neck and patchy hair loss, and their price spike was hard to digest. Ever since I switched to American Journey, the allergies have cleared up. Also welcomed, this price is more reasonable and my dog loves the taste!

Researched ingredients & many brands and found that this had great ingredients. Many better than the really expensive brands. Dont let the lower price fool you. This is a quality product. My one dog liked this option. Unfortunately, just opened the bag & soon thereafter, my dog got sick (dont believe it was the food). My amazing buddy had to be put down before I could use more than a scoop or two of food. Not sure what to do with it. Likely donate it to a shelter to hopefully help nourish other pets.
