Diamond Naturals Light Formula Dry Dog Food

I feel so blessed to have found this food. It is extremely hard to find a diet food that works and isn't chicken based. This is both! Zach and Ziva, two of my 4 German Shepherds needed to lose some weight and on this food, they both have. They love the taste and I don't have to worry about peas, legumes or potatoes in this food. The ingredients are wonderful. One reviewer said her dog didn't lose any weight and she was feeding the amount on the bag. I kept cutting back the amount until they lost weight. Every dog's metabolism is different just like people. Mine get a cup of dry kibble in the morning and a cup at night with a half cup of wet food mixed in at night.

I have a 4 year old picky, sensitive stomach german shepherd! We went to the vet and found out 144lbs was a little too thick and we needed to change some things. Chewys actually helped me find this food! I needed non chicken, lamb preferably, and something low calorie and something not $70 a bag. My dog LOVES this food. I've had issues finding things he will eat and anytime the bowl is down he chows it right down. We've been on it for about a month and with increased exercise and going back to doggie daycare he looks like hes shedding lbs. I'm yet to weigh him. 10/10 recommend this food. Kane loves it, doesnt have diarrhea and always finishes off his bowl!

PROS: Affordable, no artificial colors or flavors, lamb meal is first ingredient, low fat & lower than average protein make it a good option for my dog that suffers from acid reflux CONS: High grain content. When moistened, it swells up much larger than a grain-free kibble I have, and the high fiber content is indicative of a high amount of plant matter SUMMARY: If your dog doesn't appear to have grain allergies or sensitivities, this is a solid choice for kibble. It's more affordable than most healthy options, and while it contains plenty of grains, it leaves out the artificial junk many affordable kibbles contain.

This formula said "same look, new formula" they only removed the peas so I'm wondering why the kibble is now larger? Both of my frenchies are eating this light formula and now have soft/mushy stool after eating the new switch. I'm hoping this will correct itself because I don't want peas in their food but can't figure out why just removing peas would cause that issue. I also love that this formula has DL-methionine in it as well because that helps with urinary issues! Pic is of kibble from old formula vs new formula, it's bigger now.

I looked through many reviews before deciding to purchase this. My dog can’t eat fatty foods. But, once I ordered I started reading more reviews, and decided against feeding this. I went with American Journey and my two puppies and my older gal all love it.

I havent used this long enough to say anything about weight loss, but she loves the food. It does have less calories than her old food, so I have high hopes.

As my Lab is not getting enough exercise this winter, I chose this food among other high quality light foods for him. He eats it right up (again a LAB) and I hope he loses some winter weight!!!

I want to start off by saying this product is not going to help your dog drop pounds significantly overnight. However, if used appropriately with exercise, you could see weight loss. Our pup was weighing in quite hefty at 122 pounds, which is enormous for a goldendoodle (half retriever, half poodle). Our boy is big, not just weight, but all over. The vet would like to see him around 100lbs but no smaller than 90lbs. We worked with the vet, made sure all his labs were fine: thyroid was great, allergies are under control, overall good health except a few extra pounds. Decided that a combination of a lighter food formula and more exercise would be beneficial. I took the nutritional info to the I want to start off by saying this product is not going to help your dog drop pounds significantly overnight.

The weight hasn't fallen off of our pup drastically, but he has lost a good 10 pounds over the course of about 7 months. Which is exactly what we've been wanting. I do want to tell you that our pup is NOT a picky eater! He will eat just about any flavor food and eats this well. It keeps him satisfied. We also feed for the weight we want him to be, not the weight he currently is. Hope this review helps you decide if this could help your pup! … more

The dog likes it so I like it and it's a bit less expensive than what I was feeding him.

I bought this as my English cream golden was packing on the pounds. Only time will tell if she loses weight. This food has low fat, high fiber, has glucosamine and taurine, and is 50% of the price of other non grain dog foods. My dog licks the dish clean every time she gets this. I will add a review in a few months of feeding her this as to whether or not the pounds come off with a little more exercise.
