My dogs had to adjust to the fish, but they love this food. They all smack their lips and wags their tails in excitement every meal. My oldest Goldendoodle was gaining weight from the other food we had him on. My females had allergies. All dogs are doing great now!

Great food, No longer affordable

My dog adores this food, I've had him on it since he was a puppy and it does wonders for his coat but the price has quietly doubled over the last year

I do appreciate that items are out of stock at times, however as a result, I was forced to purchase smaller bags of the same item for a "greater cost". (I was running out of food for my dog) I think I should be compensated for that or at least charged at a similar price point? In addition, there was really no ETA which was concerning since this is my Labrador's main food source. I am otherwise happy with Chewy.
