My GSD has a picky stomach and this is the only dog food that hasn't made her sick, she inhales it. The rescue I got her from uses it on all the GSD and they average 15 yrs old with this brand.
My GSD likes this food. I do mix it with another brand for a little variety, My only negative is that the kibble is very small.
My dog is pretty finicky and I've started mixing Dr. Gary's with his old food (Just Right is going away and I'm switching to Chewy). Overall good stuff so far and he LOVE's the smaller pieces. I'll see after a few months how his coat holds up and energy. So far so good!
My 2 male German Shepherds were having diarrhea almost constantly for 6 months. We tried alternating their food and eliminating and adding foods back, took trips to the vet, tried Flagyl; we tried everything and the diarrhea kept coming back. I was shopping on the Chewy website and I came across this dry food and decided to try a small bag. They loved this dry kibble from the first taste and they have not had any issues with loose stools since! Perfect poops! They’re both happy as I’m sure their tummy’s are! I pray they never change the formula because it works! Thank you Chewy for carrying this brand!
I no more than opened the bag and my pup was trying to dive in. I’m afraid I’m going to have to get him a bowl to slow his eating with this food as he is eating it like something is going to steal it away from him
Prior to finding Dr. Gary's Best Breed for German Shepherd Dogs, my Chase got diarrhea from other supposed specialized foods. Upon changing him over to this great food, the diarrhea quickly disappeared and his stools became well formed. I mix this with Fresh Pet and feed Chase 3 times a day and he is super enthusiastic about meal times.
Needed to purchase a smaller kibble for my older German Shepherd. This brand is great. She loves it. Thank you.
My dog has had no issues since I began feeding her this food, but the price seems to keep growing higher and higher each month!
have not had enough time to evaluate being that a new dog food if given gradually to my dogs.
Seriously made my German shepherd it so badly. We mixed it with the royal Canine that she’s always been on but it is just too powerful so now I have both her old food and this new stuff mixed together and she can’t eat any of it.
