Questions & Answers

I noticed there is garlic powder amongst the ingredients: Wouldn't this be harmful for my dog?

Answer by ChewyApr 21, 2020
When used in small amounts, garlic can help support the immune system and liver. It helps the cardiovascular system prevent blood clots, and reduces cholesterol/fat build up in the blood and heart. It also aides in the fight against bacterial, viral, and fungal infections, and increases the rate of killing off parasites. Garlic also helps increase the palatability of products.

The ingredients

My dog likes the taste. I wish it was more affordable because my three large Great Danes like it also.

We made a right choice

Our German shepherd likes this dry food. She is so picky, but she eats this. It means a lot for us.

Great quality

Great ingredients that my dogs love. It is tough because it goes quickly in my house hold and it is very expensive. But you get what you pay for. My dogs

Huge difference in coat!

My German shepherd is 7 and I have been feeding him pretty much anything decent from the grocery store pet selection. I have had continual problems with his coat

My German shepherd is 7 and I have been feeding him pretty much anything decent from the grocery store pet selection. I have had continual problems with his coat being dull and extra shedding. Since switching to this dog food I’ve seen such an improvement in his fur!

Only food my dog can eat.

Somewhere after Covid dog food began to make my sweet German shepherd sick. Suspect. We found this brand and haven’t looked back. High quality and healthy.

Bought for my GSD bc it has everything my girl needs, but she doesn’t like the taste. Plus she’s sensitive to what she eats, she needs grain free limited ingredient
