Earthborn Holistic Unrefined Smoked Salmon with Ancient Grains & Superfoods Dry Dog Food

I have a french bulldog with CHRONIC yeast. I've tried raw food, wet food, all kinds of dry food and nothing worked. We've spent so much money trying things only for them to not help or make her allergies/yeast 10x worse. I'm not saying that this is a cure all because she still has yeast but I've noticed her paws are much less creamy, she's not scratching or itching or rubbing her face as much, her coat has gotten so much softer, her poops use to be super huge and runny and light brown but now they're darker and way more firmer. I'm kicking myself for not trying this brand of food sooner being I've used their skin and coat treats since she was a puppy! Also my dog is incredibly picky she didn't I have a french bulldog with CHRONIC yeast. I've tried raw food, wet food, all kinds of dry food and nothing worked.

So we have a rescue Yorkie mix. Little guy has been through some stuff but happy now. Vet recommended limited ingredient diet with grain. This was recommended. He is eating it and seems to like it. I am asking if we could get a smaller kibble since Buddy is 7lbs. Thank you for this. The vet also said the fish option is less likely to cause allergies. Thanks

My 2 year old mountain cur / pitbull mix suffered from some pretty consistently loose stool and tons of shedding. After being on this food for about a month, his coat is MUCH softer and shinier (I honestly used to think he just had coarser shepherd-like fur but I was clearly wrong...), and his poops are MUCH smaller and solid. That improves my quality of life pretty significantly as the person cleaning up after my dog :) Couldn’t recommend this more. And for dogs who maybe don’t like the super “healthy” smell of this food, a great tip is to put a few tablespoons of bone broth - or warm water tbh - onto the food to heighten the aroma. My dog loves it!

I usually feed Victor HiPro plus, Wellness complete health and Merrick classic. Occasionally Earthborn Venture Alaskan pollock. With the grain free warning, I like to keep them on all grain inclusive or minimum 50% grain inclusive food mixed with the Venture. My dogs eat them just fine. I really really wanted them to like this. They just don’t. They pick out the Victor mixed with it and when I fed them just this, they didn’t eat for a day and a half. It just sat in their bowl. Now I’m stuck with a 25lb bag of it I have to give away, my fault, should’ve bought a smaller bag to try. The only true negative I have is the size of the kibble, it’s fairly large.

Hesitant to buy another flavor to try with them but I might give it a go. Love and trust Earthborn products. … more

My dogs were having the itchies, and I changed everything else - treats, chews, etc. - to no avail. So I decided to try switching from Blue to this, which has fabulous ingredients! Hard to find a quality dry food that has healthy grains in it, but this one meets our needs. They love it and are no longer scratching all the time. Highly recommend!

My list of requirements for dog food for my six-month-old lab/husky mix was pretty long, but after a deep dive to compare several different choices, I landed on this one! I wanted a food that: had fish as the protein source (ideally salmon, per her vet's recommendation, as Olive may have a poultry allergy); was grain-inclusive; met AAFCO nutritional standards for all life stages, including growth of large breed dogs; contained some antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables; contained fermentation products for probiotic benefits; didn't contain peas, potatoes, fillers, etc.; came from a company with a history of no recalls; and sourced the ingredients and packaging materials in relatively sustainable My list of requirements for dog food for my six-month-old lab/husky mix was pretty long, but after a deep dive to compare several different choices, I landed on this one!

There were very few foods out there that fit my criteria, but I was excited to find this one. Olive will eat literally anything with gusto, so I can't say for sure how the taste of this food stacks up. It smells fishy and has a bit darker and slightly more oily appearance than other kibble, I think. The pieces are round and flat; Olive swallows them without even chewing, but I imagine they could be difficult for very little dogs. The velcro seal on the bag is helpful. Olive has gone through one large bag of this food – her coat is shiny and her energy/overall health seem good! … more

My dog loves this food! I have battled allergies with my 1 year old golden retriever for months now. Her eyes constantly watered and were swollen. I saw multiple eye doctors and they all chalked it up to be seasonal allergies. My last hope was to switch foods and heard great results with earthborn. 2 weeks on this feed and her allergies have completely cleared up. I highly recommend! We have 7 golden retrievers and they all love it.

The negative reviews seem to be not at the fault of the food. If you know how the dogfood is made and sold and look at the dates on your bag it should not be stale. The food is new. My dogs have eaten well since birth so they know not to love the "junk food" with no corn no wheat no soy not being in their diet along with no artificial flavors or scent. When this product came out the switch was easy and I feel equally as good now about the future of their organ functions and weight as i was with their stomach and skin and coats. Good poops. Less poops. A new foster came into me and it had his smelly soft BMs cleared up in 2 days. He will be shedding less and shiny in 3 weeks.

I have been trying to find the right food for my puppy's delicate stomach. I wanted to love this food but she would not touch it. My puppy is not picky and eats like a pig and I was shocked she would not touch this food. She spits it out every time. I thought maybe the kibble was too large. I broke some in half and she still would not eat and spit it out. I even put some in a bowl mixed with another food and she still spits out this food. I was shocked becuase she is a piggy. Perhaps another flavor would have been better? I'll try another flavor when she is older or an adult. Currently, we are trying another brand.

My 9 month old Pyrenees/Lab pup has been scratching his front elbows. Spoke to vet and they recommended a Salmon based diet to try for starters. I like the sunflower seed oil in this formula to help with skin and coat. I have been doing a very easy transition increasing 1/4 cup intervals roughly every 4 days. So far so good. Firm stools and he loves the food. He has a sensitive stomach which caused him really bad diarrhea before when trying to transition to a Fromm product awhile back. Needless to say I was worried about this transition to Earthborn but he is doing extremely well. Happy dog happy owner!!
