Earthborn Holistic Venture Alaska Pollock Meal & Pumpkin Limited Ingredient Diet Grain-Free Dry Dog Food

My dog was even occasionally reacting to the prescription Z/D allergy diets. He does NOT have problems with this one!! Pea-free, potato-free, poultry-free, grain/corn-free. He also seems to have more energy eating this food versus the prescription diets. I hope they don’t change it, and just wish they made a wet food with the same formula.

My dogs have good allergies. Mostly 2 grains. I look at ingredients and reviews and then purchase a small bag. When mixed in with their raw meat most of it would get eaten. But on it's on, 3 of them sniffed it and walked away my shepherd Lab. Tried it and walked away after a few bites. But they have had Super high end human grade dog food and won't even try that. Which was good for my wallet in that instance.

I like this food because it is grain-free, yet doesn’t have potatoes, peas or legumes. I tried changing one dog to a grain food due to the controversy but he started itching more so changed him back.

I cannot tell you how many foods we have tried to get to this point. Our Boxer Pit has had severe allergies for about 5 years now. It has gotten so bad at times we thought we might have to put him down. We had him on Apoquel for 2 years and decided to take him off since there's such a high rate of cancer, but once we did he took a downward spiral with infection after infection. He is once again back on Apoquel but the main hero in this story is this food! He has not had ONE breakout since being on it. This has never happened with any other food, even prescription food. As a matter of fact, the prescription food almost landed him in the emergency clinic. This food has no peas! Thank the I cannot tell you how many foods we have tried to get to this point.

His black skin is going away finally (after years), his hair is growing back, no red raw paws, belly or ears, no ear infections, no pimples or hives, no more odor, and no more chewing until he bleeds. He has only minor itching but this is kept down with frequent baths with Malaseb Medicated shampoo (which you can get here on Chewy.com). Our other dog has minor food allergies and is also on this food. He too has made a major transformation. Both of their coats are the shiniest and softest I've ever seen them too. I just can't express how grateful our family is for this food. Please don't ever change it. It has literally saved our dog. Thank you to Chewy for being such a great company to shop with. Your customer service is golden. … more

Seems like a very good food but my Corgi didn't like it at all and wouldn't eat for three days so I had to switch. I would recommend this food for a larger breed that isn't a picky eater. Also, FYI, this food does have a strong fish smell.

I have 4 small dogs. I originally switched because I was looking for a small bite kibble. Two of my dogs (Malti-poo and cream Chihuahua) have always had issues with staining around the face regardless of the high quality foods they were fed. Since I switched to this kibble the staining has disappeared. Couldn't be happier with the product.

I have two little senior pets (13 & 15) both about 5 pounds, who seem to have the “dwindles” as our Vet calls it. Basically, they aren’t interested in much of anything—especially food. I’ve tried to bribe them with homemade dog food, people food and many brands of dry or wet dog food but they lose interest and go back on hunger strike after a day or two. Our Vet suggested finding a strong smelling food to appeal to them, since their sense of smell is diminished. She says odors, more than anything else, will stimulate their appetite. I thought a fishy food would be the best, in that department, but it was difficult to find due to a Chihuahua with grains/pea allergies.

They've each gained a couple ounces (a victory for our household!) and are eating this more readily than anything else in the past year. However, it does smell awful; they eat in the laundry room and it smells awful. It probably wouldn’t be so bad if the kibbles weren’t left out all the time but I always have it available for them to free-feed. This stuff is great for picky eaters but it will stink your house up... you’ve been warned. Yes, the kibbles are a bit large (dime size, I’d say) but I don’t understand the complaints about it. Do people expect their dogs to swallow dry dog food whole? Shouldn’t they have to break it up before swallowing? I think it’s best for their teeth that way, my teeny-tiny dogs don’t have any trouble with it and they’re each missing a few teeth. … more

My shar pei has many problems with food allergies and yeast infection. And this brand of food in just 3 weeks has been amazing and his skin is clearing up and he is not itching like he was can’t wait to see what the next few weeks brings

This is a great whitefish limited ingredient food especially if you're looking to get away from peas, pea flour, lentils, etc. All four of my fur babies love it. The kibble is quite large though (about 5/8", but flat) so if you have small pups you might want to break it up for them.

Originally, i ordered this food based on the 5 star review from dog food advisor.... ive been very pleased with it. My dog NEVER throws up, his poop is consistantly solid and he has no allergy/skin issues ( i know, maybe you think that the vomit/poop thing is TMI, but its NOT. If your dog vomits and or has soft stools, thats an indicator that he/she is eating something unhealthy. That being said, my dog has been very healthy on this 5 star food. The only reason why I am currently switching kibble is because Mojo is a small breed and this kibble is a bit too big for him also, as this kibble has pollack in it, getting a big whiff of this food, when i feed him in the morning, is just too much to Originally, i ordered this food based on the 5 star review from dog food advisor.... ive been very pleased with it.
