Why is ethylenediamine added to this dog food?

Answer by Mell • Jan 02, 2026
That's a great question because it is also in antifreeze, industrial cleaners, pesticides- and I could go on. Nothing I would want to feed my dog (and I was considering it)

how much fat is in this food

What portion of the total protein in the guaranteed analysis comes from animal protein sources?

Is Dr. Pol dog food dye free?

Dogs love it, but pricey considering bag size

The reviews and comments on it were positive, but it’s still pricey. I know- put a price on your dog’s health and love, right? Well, in this economy , that tends

The reviews and comments on it were positive, but it’s still pricey. I know- put a price on your dog’s health and love, right? Well, in this economy , that tends to explain why so many people put their dogs into shelters- they love them too much to see them suffer when they cannot afford them. Sad but true. I am not that unfortunate luckily. It’s not the best, but ingredients are better than store-bought garbage and probably on par with pet store food but with door front delivery, so I keep buying from here.

We Love Dr. Pol!!

All my babies approve of this. I give them 4 different types of food...Badlands Ranch, Dr Martys, Royal Canin, and now Dr. Pol. The Badlands & Dr. Martys are freeze

All my babies approve of this. I give them 4 different types of food...Badlands Ranch, Dr Martys, Royal Canin, and now Dr. Pol. The Badlands & Dr. Martys are freeze dried, both have amazing ingredients! However, they are very expensive. So I have been looking for a filler food. They love the Royal Canin, however, the first main ingredients are "chicken by product meal, corn". Terrible, especially considering what it costs. So, I have been looking for a replacement and Dr. Pols is the winner! Main ingredients, Salmon, Peas, Sweet Potatoes, Green Lentils, Tapioca, Salmon Oil." My only complaint is the pieces are very hard! My little 14yo toy poodle has a hard time, so I bite them in half for him lol. I know, Im gross. He loves the food though. My year old Bernedoodles also love it!

Tiff loves it. Mix it with Dr. Marty’s food.

After a few weeks and trying to increase Dr. Pol food Tiff developed loose stools. Not sure if it is due to her eating more or if too rich. Playing around with

After a few weeks and trying to increase Dr. Pol food Tiff developed loose stools. Not sure if it is due to her eating more or if too rich. Playing around with % of the two foods mixed. Also, the packaging to open and close is a pain. They either need to put instructions on the outside or discontinue the sealer as it just does not work.

Hooray for solid poops!

Switched to this from purina dog chow which gave my dog the runs really bad. Every poop since the switch has been solid! Plus he’s scratching a lot less. I guess

Switched to this from purina dog chow which gave my dog the runs really bad. Every poop since the switch has been solid! Plus he’s scratching a lot less. I guess where it’s salmon based though the only drawback is it makes him a little more stinky. Not his poops, but the actual dog. Small price to pay for the benefits. Plus it helps that this dog food is $20 or more cheaper than the other high end dog foods that often still contain common allergens.

Super disappointed

Due to Dr. Pol's reputation, I expected my Frenchie to love this food. First off, the smell was nasty in my opinion. Secondly, in spite of a two week transition

Due to Dr. Pol's reputation, I expected my Frenchie to love this food. First off, the smell was nasty in my opinion. Secondly, in spite of a two week transition to this food, my dog could not shake VERY loose stools. Had to return it.

My 3 dogs will not eat this.

If I were to guess the problem keeping my 3 from liking or eating this, I would say it’s the small Very HARD pellets. My 3 prefer a softer chewier kibble.

The limited ingredients with salmon

dogs think it is delicious. I have one dog diagnosed with copper storage disease, so I was glad to see that some of the copper was easily digested, but not happy

dogs think it is delicious. I have one dog diagnosed with copper storage disease, so I was glad to see that some of the copper was easily digested, but not happy with the man made copper sulfate that is stored in the liver. I will keep looking for a dog food with no added man made copper. If not for having a dog with problem, I would give it 5 stars.

great dog food

Dr. Pols dog food is very solid. I noticed today when I picked up the bag that it was so much heavier than the dog food we feed our other dog which seemed puffed

Dr. Pols dog food is very solid. I noticed today when I picked up the bag that it was so much heavier than the dog food we feed our other dog which seemed puffed up and full of air. My dog loves it.

Quality!

Everyone says Best dog food, right? Well, Doctor Pol actually took practical knowledge and made a reasonably priced, limited ingredient kibble and guess what!

Everyone says Best dog food, right? Well, Doctor Pol actually took practical knowledge and made a reasonably priced, limited ingredient kibble and guess what! My super picky, has Allergies Black Russian Terrier (if you know the breed, you know a picky dog) who absolutely loves this kibble! The only thing she liked better was the raw feed which I cannot afford for her! So fab kibble, excellent price, picky dog eats it! Win, win, win! Best of love to your Large or Little fur baby!

Great Surpise

Dr. Pol Salmon Balanced was what my 8 year old Bouvier and my 1 1/2 year old German Shepherd needed. Both are picky eaters, but they do not move until their bowls

Dr. Pol Salmon Balanced was what my 8 year old Bouvier and my 1 1/2 year old German Shepherd needed. Both are picky eaters, but they do not move until their bowls are licked clean. Improved coats, less stool, at a cost effective price point. Great product.
