Dr. Pol Healthy Balance Chicken Recipe Dry Dog Food

Our lab has the most sensitive stomach, EVER! She vomits for no reason and has been seen by 3 different vets over the years for this problem. We have tried so many different remedies and foods. She's been on Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Stomach for about 2 years and has done well, for the most part, but it can get pricey; especially when feeding 3 dogs. When Dr. Pols food came on the market I started researching it and watching reviews. I finally took the plunge. I wish we had sooner. She gobbles it up and has had no issues with this food. Thank you, Dr. Pol!!!

I knew my dog had an allergy to something when I first rescued him. He was so pitiful. He would scratch and chew 24/7 and was rust colored all over from licking. I was told that he was being given a salmon dog food when I got him but still wasn't sure what the cause was. I started trying different foods. He changed the most dramatically when I switched to Merrick grain free chicken. He was like a whole new dog. Super soft coat, and no more itching and rust colored tears or paws from licking. So was it the grain or the salmon/fish? Then a couple years ago I noticed rust colored tear stains around the eyes and his paws were rust colored AGAIN from licking but fortunately no chewing or I knew my dog had an allergy to something when I first rescued him.

Turns out Merrick "updated" their formula. I can only guess they added more fish meal or oil. Since they didn't add grain. Grain could not be the culprit. I started on the dog food search again to look for a dog food with NO salmon or fish oil/meal. After so many years of looking on and off, Dr. Pol's Balance Chicken is the FIRST one I found. This dog food worked wonders! Not only are the rust colored tear stains and paws finally going away but even on my other dog who never seemed as sensitive to food....I realized that she also no longer has rust colored tears stains and both my dogs hardly have eye boogers or tears. It made me realize that there are probably so many dog intolerant to salmon/fish and most people will never realize it and think it's just normal for their dogs to have rust colored tear stains or paws from licking. I hope they try this this out to check for themselves. … more

I have tried so many different brands over the last 10 years and my boxer has always had soft poop. Most recently he was on Eukanuba boxer, but that is no longer on the market. He always liked the different foods and always ate good. When I saw that Dr. Pol came out with his own food, I was on board! My dog's poop is finally normal. Its darker and harder and easier to pick up.

I was excited about the reviews on Dr. Pols dog food, since my dogs won't eat any dog food. I ordered it, but unfortunately they didn't like it. They tried it first time, they appearred to like it, but when dinner came they wouldn't eat it. I tried several more times to feed them the food but they wouldn't touch it. I still think its a great product for dogs just wish my dogs liked it.

Wow! I am so pleased with the quality of this product. Not only has my dog been having softer, healthier looking stools, but she also loves the taste. Normally we have to mix her food with wet food just to get her to eat it, but now she will eat it just the way it comes. We have struggled for months to find a good dog food that she not only likes, but is good for her. After seeing the vet in February 2020, we were told to take her off of grain-free food, as it's not good for dogs at all. So, after doing many hours of research we found a couple to try, but they did not impress us one bit. 3 dog foods later, and we have finally found a winner! Also, I love that there is supplements added to the Wow! I am so pleased with the quality of this product.

My border collie would have disgusting odor about him. Bathing helped but not for long. Vets gave me special shampoo. Did not do the trick : After 2 months on this dog food ,the idor cleared up. i have never written a review, but I am thrilled with this dogfood! And the dogs love it!

I am always looking for new foods to give my picky eaters. I'm assuming that they probably get tired of the same old foods so I go off on my mission of trying to give them a bit of variety. It gets frustrating at times because they will either turn their heads away from the new kibble or just lick it and leave it. Well, today I opened up the Dr. Pol brand to see if it was a hit or miss. I started off with about 3 pieces of kibble. At first Ashton sniffed it and then licked it and then walked away. About 1 minute later, Ashton returns for more Dr. Pol kibble. I was shocked. I thought he wouldn't eat it because of the smell but I guess I was wrong. Seems like we have a hit! Thank you I am always looking for new foods to give my picky eaters.

Stella has been on Dr Pols chicken formula for only 2 weeks but she loves it. Right size kibble for a 10 lb dog and has a pleasant smell. I love and admire Dr Pol and have watched him for years. Trust any product for animals that he will put his name on.

We have a small Pit (4 1/2 yrs) and a Chihuahua mix (1 1/2 yrs). We are into our third bag of Healthy Chicken. Our dogs have more energy. They feel better and their coats are super shiny. They don't seem to be shedding as much. I am a customer for life.

My dog didn't even want to sniff this product which really surprised me. She can be a picky eater at times but she wasn't even interested in giving it a chance. So ended up giving it to a shelter for dogs, and ordering something else. It looks like a good product so disappointed she didn't approve.
