Dr. Gary's Best Breed Holistic Puppy Diet Dry Dog Food

I've fed my 5 month old German Shepherd Dr. Garys Best Breed Puppy food since she was born. This is the food that she was on when we got her at 8 weeks old. She has had diarrhea for months. After multiple vet visits and a clear bill of health, the vet recommended we switch her food. I recently switched her food and the diarrhea is gone. I won't knock the brand, it just wasn't for us. She never really seemed too excited to eat it either. Now that I've switched her food, she scarfs it down at each feeding.

We were using this upon recommendation by our breeder. However she has very loose stool until we got her off of this. And this is what the breeder was giving her.

We have transitioned to this food for over 2 weeks now and our Lab still have loose stools. I wouldn’t recommend this food.

I know this is a wonderful product and my large puppy loves it as he would most food, however the amount needed to keep his bones healthy is a lot.

ive spend so much money in vet checking there poop and nothing once i change food everything change for good

I started off my pup with a different brand of food. I read great reviews about it and loved the ingredients. As any fur mom I wanted the best for my fur baby and I was certain I was making the right choice. Unfortunately my pup didn’t agree. He wasn’t interested in his food... everyday was a challenge just getting him to eat it. He wasn’t growing, his energy level was so low, his hair was patchy and dull. After a ton of stressful research I came across Dr. Gary’s Best Breed. The reviews were great, ingredients even better! Decided to make the switch and give it a try! My pup initiated a growth spurt just a week after switching him over, his hair started growing and theres shine on it I didn I started off my pup with a different brand of food.

Just bought our second 30lb bag and I can’t believe he is still interested in it. His energy has increased and he’s still at an ideal weight. Only mistake was not starting him with Dr. Gary’s Best Breed since I got him. … more

I’m sorry but my puppy doesn’t like this food at all. I don’t know why but she’ll actually push it away.

My puppy wouldn't eat his previous brand food. He eats Dr. Gary's if it has home made bone broth on it. He is doing good on it, no stomach upset. Kind of pricey, but get what you pay for. Time will tell how he does on it, as he is only 11wks old. The veterinarian never heard of it. She couldn't say if was good for my puppy or not. I bought it, because it doesnt have a lot of fillers. The first ingredients are key.

My puppy loves this stuff. She couldn't get enough of it. Really good brand

For a dry dog food this hits the marks that are important too me. I haven't had a puppy in 10 years, it's different than dog food. The ingredients and nutrients are all over the board. I went with this one after breeder sent us home on puppy chow with junk ingredients, so I chose Nutro Ultra with Chewy. Well She had runny stools, and the more I looked at the ingredients there were just too many. I choose Best Breed, because it's manufactured in the US and US ingredients. It's Holistic AND....the calorie count per cup was more than anything else I saw out there. And a passionate Vet made this food with a mission to help pets have better diets to prevent disease. The price is fair in comparison For a dry dog food this hits the marks that are important too me. I haven't had a puppy in 10 years, it's different than dog food.

The price is fair in comparison to Nutro Ultro and some others that I'm sure are good but have more unnecessary ingredient and cost more. I've heard to stay away from foods with white potato and lentils and too much peas. Some of this is okay. Beets I read are very good which this has. Chewy refunded me for Nutro and I bought this. Half way through bag and doing great. She's a black lab pup and I don't see her ribs now. Puppys don't need a lot of fat, they need the right proportion of protein and fat and nutrients and more calories. She's a hunting dog and has lots of energy. This food works for that as it has almost 150 more calories per cup than most others when I compared. I never looked at that before but now I know too. … more
