Overall health begins with proper feeding. Earthborn Holistic Primitive Natural can help maintain your dog’s health when combined with exercise, veterinary care, and controlling intake of other food and treats. Use this chart as a guide, adjusting as necessary to maintain optimal weight. Portions will vary according to body condition, age, activity level and environment. When introducing Primitive Natural, mix increasing amounts of Primitive Natural with decreasing amounts of the current food over a 7 - 10 day period. During gestation and lactation, feed 2 to 4 times the portions recommended in the Adult Feeding Guide for the weight of your adult dog. Puppies often begin to eat solid foods at three to four weeks of age and can be fed dry or with warm water (3 parts food to one part water). Offer clean, fresh water at all times. See your veterinarian regularly.
On days 1 & 2 of the change, you should have plenty of your pet�s old food left. Fill the bowl with 3 quarters of the old food, and one quarter of Earthborn Holistic. On days 3 & 4, add in another quarter, so you have half old food, half Earthborn Holistic. On days 5 & 6, mix one quarter old food and 3 quarters Earthborn Holistic Food for Pets. In only 7 days, your pet will be on an all-new diet of Earthborn Holistic Food for Pets!

changed recipe
By willie on Feb 19, 2021
im glad they eliminated the peas in the recipe but so disappointed they added yeast. had no choice either to do a gradual change. so far no digestive issues w my shepherd. have to attribute it to the digestive enzymes i give him. some how would have been nice to get a heads up on the change, altho i have no idea how that would be done. still like the food. fingers crossed he doesn't come up w any issues from the yeast

Changed formula
By 1Mad on Feb 14, 2021
They changed the product! Took us forever to find a food that worked. He was doing well on this until my most recent bag. Now- licking and scratching. How does a company change their product this much, especially dog food that you're supposed to introduce over days? It was like he started a new food only I had no idea until I saw symptoms. Not happy and going with a different brand all together. That said, I love chewy. They have fantastic customer service.

BEWARE Different Ingredients than what I get at the local pet center
By Nikki on Jan 25, 2021
When I received this bag of dog food, I immediately noticed the packaging was dramatically different than the bag(s) I currently have been getting from our local pet center. The picture was different, the fonts were different, etc. Upon further inspection of the ingredients, I noticed that the INGREDIENTS are completely different and my dogs WILL NOT eat it, so now I am stuck with a giant bag of dog food that I have no use for. The picture included with this review is NOT the photo of the dog food that I received so I would have no way of knowing the ingredients would be different.

Great product
By Maureen on Feb 22, 2021
We’ve been giving our dogs Earthborn for several years! Quality product at a decent price! Just switched to this newer flavor and they love it! Chewy is the best, fast delivery and never have to worry about running low with their easy to control auto ship!

Im Done Here
By GinGin on Feb 2, 2021
They changed the ingredients...lowered the protein content and added potatoes, peas and tapioca! If that wasn’t a deal breaker, the bags used to be 28lbs and are now 25lbs, and the price is the same...I was so happy to have found this food line but now I’m back to searching for something healthier...this is junk

Changed ingredients
By Angry on Jan 7, 2021
I was in love with this dog food until they changed the ingredients. "In our Primitive Natural recipe, we removed Peas, Pea Starch, Whitefish Meal and Pea Fiber while adding Sweet Potato, Tapioca, Pumpkin, Pacific Whiting and Dried Yeast." By doing this the protein dropped from 38% to 32%. They cheapened the ingredients on their end but still charge us the same. I specifically wanted a dog food without sweet potatoes. That's why I bought it in the first place. Then they went and screwed that up.

My dogs would not eat it after the new ingredients
By florence on Jan 31, 2021
The size of the dry food and ingredients changed, also this dry food used to be 28lb and the size of each grain become bigger, it is too big for my adult yorkie not to mention to puppies! I believe the ingredients has change as well cause they are not interested eating it ...they used to love the old one, so bad

So Fresh! Wow
By Shelby on Feb 20, 2021
I’m so happy we made the switch to Chewy! We have bought this brand of dog food for a while now but the bag from chewy seemed way more fresh. Like the kibble was glistening and soft!

Trustworthy Food
By Alvin on Jan 1, 2021 Top 1000 Contributor
I have used Earthborn Holistic Primitive for more than 4 years, although when they changed the formula a couple of years ago it took a while to get my dogs to like again. I used to love to open a new bag and watch them go crazy (with the old formula), unfortunately they haven’t been interested when I do now. It’s peas peas peas. They do eat it with a topper.
