No tender pieces
By Jenn on Jul 28, 2020
I bought this food for my 16 y/o pup as I was under the impression that it actually had soft “tender” pieces in it, it does not. I have to add water and wet food for him to be able to eat it. The pieces that look like they should be soft are rather large and crunchy (pictured below).

Authority adult tender bits
By Turk on Jul 13, 2020
I was told this product was supposed to have some soft pieces in it. My dogs are older and not as many teeth so it is somewhat hard to chew. I have had to add water and canned Authority to it to soften it up. After it softens they eat it.

My 3 Shih Tzus love this food!!
By Mommaof3shihtzus on Mar 26, 2020
My fur babies love this food! It took awhile to find the right food. One of my little ones can’t have chicken so it was really limiting what I could give him. Not many dog food companies make beef flavored food. We tried Authority and we have no problems with my little one and the other 2 love it too!! This came nicely boxed and pretty quick too. The price was better on Chewy then at the pet store! I will keep ordering from Chewy from now on!!!

Awesome Food!
By Paki on Apr 15, 2020
I have purchased the Authority before when Brody was a puppy and he LOVES the chicken tender blends so I thought I would try the beef this time! He LOVES it too! I am so glad we finally found a dog food that he will eat!

Dogs do not like
By Carol on Mar 6, 2020
I have used the chicken flavor with success so I got the beef flavor for variety. Our girls are turning their noses up at it. I will go back to the chicken flavor with smaller bites.

Should say not for small breed dogs
By Disappointed on Dec 10, 2019
Not pleased that this item is not for a small breed dog. My little Maltese is not happy with the size of the kibble that even though I mix it with the Authority wet food, he still picks the kernels out the bowl. I now have to go to PetSmart in order to get his size and am stuck with a hugh bag of dog food my little one doesn't like.

Perfectly done
By Hixanator on Aug 9, 2019
Received my order on my door step the very next day!!! I choose this food for our dogs as they have tooth issues and it contains a protectant specifically for caring for teeth. Also, I have gone away from Grain-Free foods at the suggestion of my Vet.

My dog LOVES it
By PeppersParent on Jul 3, 2019
My dog is a VERY picky eater. It takes her hours to finally eat the "Chicken and Rice Formula". But "Beef and Rice" she can't get enough of it! Right when I give her a scoop, she starts eating. Definitely recommend if you have a picky eater like me.
