Diamond Naturals Lamb Meal & Rice Formula Adult Dry Dog Food

I like to save my 5-star or 10-star reviews for things I know for a fact are good. This is one of those products. I met my pup - an 80-lb pointer-lab mix - in March of 2017. After trying a few different options, I started an autoship every 5 weeks with this food. I haven't shut off the autoship since (except for a couple months when I was unemployed and a family member was feeding him). 5 weeks is a bit faster than he eats it, so I have extra every once in a while. I share it with friends and family who need some, and all have given great reviews! It's the same price per pound, even with shipping, as the cheap stuff at my grocery store, but has so much less filler that he only eats about half I like to save my 5-star or 10-star reviews for things I know for a fact are good.

His coat is so healthy, it grows faster than we can sweep it off the floor. Everyone points out how pretty he is. I've already gotten one friend to switch over - she fed her dog the same amount she had been of the cheap stuff, and he gained 10 lbs before she corrected herself! My brother asks to buy my extra boxes off me pretty often, because his dog loves this stuff, but he can't find it at the store (and he's one of those paranoid people that don't want to get autoships). I don't think I'll be switching to another dog food at any point in the foreseeable future. … more

My dogs don't seem to enjoy it any more or less than their normal brand, it is very aromatic though, as a Human the food smells better than most, so its more tolerable to dig deep into the bag, over all I can only give 3 stars since theirs nothing spectacular about this brand, I am happy that yall sell a 40 lb bag, size of the bag is important to me, since I have 3 big dogs. I'll try another flavor of this brand and if the dogs don't seem to care then I'll move on and try another

In the month or so since I switched to this brand, 3 out of 4 dogs have begun shedding excessively and their eyes are not as bright. I can REALLY see a major difference in our collie/heeler mix. His eyes are dull, his coat looks terrible and his energy level seems to have dropped. Our Catahoula/lab mix, a solid 70 pound 11 month old pup is faring better but her coat and eyes have changed. Cannot recommend based on our experience

I tried to be a good mom and switch the dogs food thinking they might want a change after eating the same thing for years. I did it very gradually over the course of several weeks and all went well...until it didn't. Once it got to the new Diamond food being 100% they did not want to eat it....and my dogs love food! I also noticed that their amount of poop has doubled and isn't as solid as it used to be...not happy about that. So back to the old food it is. I tried!

I was using blue buffalo, but the place I went to kept raising prices. I looked on a dog food comparison website and saw this might be a good alternative. Some people complained their dog doesn't like the taste, but mine loves it. I get a bigger bag for less money and my dogs breathe smells better(still not good lol) than when she ate blue buffalo.

I have two dogs - one of them eats everything in sight. Or she did until I gave her this food. I'm hoping I can mix something else with it so I don't have to waste a huge bag of dog food, but definitely not something I can repurchase.

I have always fed my dogs the Sensitive Skin Grain Free formula of Diamond Naturals and my dogs really enjoyed it. I wanted to switch this up to add grains into their diet and could not do anything with chicken or beef due to allergies, so I tried the lamb variety. I mixed the foods for several weeks before changing out. My dogs would eat it when it was mixed, but wouldn't when the other variety was taken out. I guess I am back to researching to find a food with grains they will eat.

...unless i had to--when it's out of stock, i'll get the beef meal & rice or the chicken, but never a different brand. this is the best, highest quality, most reasonably priced food i have found in the 5½ years i have had my wonderful rescue furbaby. she loves diamond naturals, and especially this lamb meal formula. every time i come to the site to make an order, i make it a point to check out other similar foods' nutritionals and every time, i order this. there are foods that cost so much more for a smaller bag, but lack either chelates, prebiotics and/or probiotics--or the great fruits & veggies included in all diamond naturals formulas. so much for "known" brands. diamond naturals are ...unless i had to--when it's out of stock, i'll get the beef meal & rice or the chicken, but never a different brand. this is the best, highest quality, most reasonably priced food i have found in the 5½ years i have had my wonderful rescue furbaby. she loves diamond naturals, and especially this lamb meal formula. every time i come to the site to make an order, i make it a point to check out other similar foods' nutritionals and every time, i order this. there are foods that cost so much more for a smaller bag, but lack either chelates, prebiotics and/or probiotics--or the great fruits & veggies included in all diamond naturals formulas. so much for "known" brands. diamond naturals are a hidden gem!! i will surely cry if this is ever discontinued... … more

I have never seen a food make my dogs so sick. Long story short after much research, I chose this food as a cost efficient option. Our previous food was abruptly discontinued and I was unable to transition as slowly as I should. After 10 days, my one dog with a sensitive stomach has lost too much weight and my lab who never transitions this poorly is still not tolerating this food. Very disappointing.

I switched two of my dogs to this flavor from the chicken and rice blend. I had noticed with the other flavor they were starting to get itchy after being on it for several months. I decided to feed this flavor to see how they would do. As it turns out they really like it, and the itchiness went away. At the moment I am going to continue feeding this brand/flavor as it seems to be a good a food and great for my budget. I should mention that the kibble is much smaller with the lamb and rice. It's like smaller squares and the chicken and rice was larger flat round kibble. However my 20lb and 63lb dog do not mind it the size. They both seem to eat their meals slower now.
