This is dog the food I will stick to from now on! I have researched over the years, as a dog breeder for 7 of those years, and now as the 'mother' of 2 Brussels Griffons, for the very best affordable dog food. This food not only compares to but is BETTER than the most high priced foods out there! The puppy size kibbles are smaller than the adult dog size kibbles. That is VERY NICE for small breeds! The nutritional value of this food is most definitely superior to others. With a high quality food you do not have to transition your dog over slowly. You only need to do that if you are going to a low quality food. I am 100% delighted with this American Journey Puppy Active Life Chicken and Rice!
Our puppy seems to love the flavor and is doing well on it.
My puppy loves this product also. Chewy always has great products, and I will not buy my dog or cat products from anywhere else. When my older dog (BOOO) passed away I spoke with a Michael, he was so kind and not only did I get a refund on my products, due to the fact I has ordered the products two days before she passed away. Chewy knows how to take care of their customers!!!!!!
My golden doodle loves this food and I love that it’s made with healthy ingredients. Great food puppies. My breeder recommended it and I’m glad she did since I wasn’t sure what to choose
I liked the little bites of food, my dogs are a little over 1 so they don't need the little food but it would work for a puppy. My dogs are used to chicken protein food however this food seems to make their poop soft, too soft! I am not going to recommend this food but I don't think it is the worst one on the market
One will eat just about anything....other a bit of a food snob. Add a little extra and she's eating!
Pros: Pup loves the taste Great price Good ingredients Cons: My pup’s poop has increased by 50%. They are massive in the volume it is insane, also a lot more moist. Plus, they smell! I am not sure if anyone has encountered this issue. Not for those using puppy pads, especially a large breed puppy!
We have two Cavapoos and they do not like this food. They could be terribly hungry and they walk away from it. I purchased the large bag after reading the reviews. I started a slow introduction and noticed that they would spit out the American Journey kibble but I thought it was normal. Now that I’ve ran out of my initial purchase, I feed them only this and they won’t touch it. Sadly I wasted $$ and need to get some of the old food back on their bowl.
Before getting my puppy I looked at several puppy foods before this AJ puppy showed up. With the ingredients and other reviews, I thought I would give it a try. I am pleased. My puppy loves it, is healthy, and growing well. His coat is very shiny. My vet is happy with the overall health of my boy. Started at 4-5months. American pitbull terrier.
We tried this brand after using Blue Buffalo and our dog will not touch it. He just walks away.
