Questions & Answers

Does this food meet the AAFCO standards?

Answer by ChewySep 23, 2020
Best Breed Senior Dog Diet is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance.

What is the size of this dog food? Small or large pieces?

Answer by ChewyAug 16, 2019
This kibble is approximately the size of a pencil eraser.

Does this formula have probiotics in it?

Answer by ChewyFeb 07, 2018
This formula does not contain probiotics.

What ingredients compose "chicken meal" ? Thank you!

Answer by ChewyOct 06, 2020
Chicken meal is derived from cooking the flesh and organ meat of chickens. This process extracts the water, leaving a concentrated, highly-digestible source of protein and fat. Best Breed only uses low-ash chicken meal. Low-ash chicken meal is the highest quality chicken meal available and does not contain feathers, beaks, and other worthless by-product parts often found in commercial “premium” brands. Chicken Meal is a nutritious meat protein that is critical in providing quality sources of essential amino and fatty acids, vitamins and minerals required for muscle development and energy.

My dog is olderand her teeth aren't the best. This kibble is very hard. She likes it very much. I add waste to it the night before and let it soften. She seems to have more energy and is jumping more. Her poo is consistently firm.

My dog has done so well on this brand of kibble. She is the healthiest that she has ever been. I switched from the All Breed formula to Senior for calorie and age reasons and have had extremely good results. I highly recommend this brand.

I've bought this food for years for our aging black lab. Must have received a bad bag in our autoship because she puked her food up multiple times. She looked miserable. Cold turkey stopped giving her Dr Gary's and the puking stopped immediately. Threw that entire bag away, sent back my unopened auto ship bag, and started making her food myself. Should have started this years ago!

My picky dog loves this. And after a month on it, she has already lost some weight.

I searched high and low for a food for my Sheltie girl who is slightly overweight at age 11 and has had her gallbladder out, so I have to be mindful of what she eats. This food fit the bill and best of all, she loves it. Her weight is improving too!

Price and ease of ordering.

Unfortunately, my pet passed away right after I received it. I wish I used Chewy sooner!

We’ve been using this food for a couple years for all 3 of our dogs and for some reason none of them liked this batch. I don’t know if the company changed something in the recipe , but it’s really been a struggle to get them to eat this, this time.

My dog Doug is very overweight so I put him on this. But I had to coat it in canned dog food to get him to eat it, which is nothing new, so it actually defeats the purpose of buying low calorie food for him. I switched to a different flavor a grain free version of the same brand to try. He still won’t eat it, but my other dog loves it.
