Does this food contain rosemary extract/oil?


how big is the kibble?

So glad to be able to buy a small trial size bag to see if our 3 dogs would have a bad reaction to it or if they would even like it - before investing in a large bag of this food. That said, they all liked it, even the cat wanted to try it! No problematic chicken meal/byproduct in it, but it does have egg. None of the dogs had digestive issues or allergic itching from the ingredients. So I will feel better about ordering a full size bag and transitioning them from their other food to this one. I will reserve a higher rating until after they’ve been on it for over a month, in case there’s a hidden issue with product shelf life or digestive issues.

Love it so far.

I switched to this after feeding Diamond Naturals for many years. I had good experience with Diamond Naturals but was concerned with recalls and a few ingredients. I looked at several brands before finally deciding on this for many reasons. I love the fact that it doesn't have corn, wheat, soy, beet pulp, or any bad questionable oils like sunflower, canola, vegetable etc. I also love that I get 30 lbs for $50.00. I think this is the best dog food out there thus far especially for the price point! I currently feed this to 2 Chihuahuas, 1 Pit Bull cross, and 1 Presa Canirao puppy. The morning after switching my Presa puppy expelled a few worms I'm glad they came out instead of causing havoc to my dogs health. I haven't had any of my 4 dogs refuse to eat this food they gobble it all up. I'm excited to see how my dogs health is in a few months of being on this food. I also wanted to say that coconut oil is a natural anti fungal and this will help kill off fungus so if your dog starts scratching on this food it's a good thing.

It's a Miracle as far as we're concerned

For the last couple of years, we've fed Maggie the Border Terrier freshly roasted, skinless, boneless chicken breasts, assorted steamed veggies, organic rice + Balance

For the last couple of years, we've fed Maggie the Border Terrier freshly roasted, skinless, boneless chicken breasts, assorted steamed veggies, organic rice + Balance IT canine (supplement). Maggie still suffered with occasional periods of diarrhea (bloody, sometimes) - in and out, up and down several times some nights, grass-eating, some vomiting - interspersed with a few days when she was feeling great. We have taken her in for exams, bloodwork, stool sample testing several times over the last few years. Results are always negative - no parasites, no serious illness. It was quite a worry for us not knowing what was irritating her gut. Started her on Health Extension Lamb & Brown Rice with a sprinkle of Stella & Chewy's Marie's Magical Dinner Freeze-Dried Raw Dust Grass-Fed Beef Dog Food Topper. She scarfs it down! Stools are normal (!) - better than they have been for months. She's full of beans, too. Very playful, eyes bright and clear. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the improved digestion continues - I have confidence that it will. I also have a lot more time on my hands because I'm not cooking up special meals for her. Oh ! Must share that Chewy's 24/7 Help Chat representative is the person that recommended these brands for us to try. I had never heard of them before. Super grateful!

My poor German Shepherd rescue had so many skin problems. He had round lesion like marks on his belly so I stopped his Kirkland dry kibble thinking his stomach was probably compromised. I was right! As soon as I got him off wheat and soy products (including biscuits) the lesions went away and the incessant itching has nearly ceased. I am still working on that issue. Think its a topical (grass) allergy, But this kibble - oh my! both my dogs sincerely love it; it has excellent, well-sourced ingredients; and is a really great value , IOW I am not paying for their advertising. PLEASE try this and their non - allergy foods (ewhich I first tried and is also great) if your dog or cat is compromised. You won't be sorry! They also have a grain kibble if you have no allergy problems... you can trust them, it is a GREAT BRAND! Made in the USA too! and says so - unlike many where you don't know where they come from...think about it! Then buy Health Extensions brand food. I did and will never go back to another.

My Millie seems to absolutely love this food. I've always raised my dogs on to eat until they're full and leave some for breakfast the next day. I had used a different product for decades. My cousin gave a bunch of different dog foods she bought. Her dog has allergies. Out of them this was Millie's favorite. It does cost me a bit more. But totally worth it. She doesn't eat as much to fill up. A bag will last me close to 3 months compared to her old food which I was buying monthly. Her coat us beautiful she's full of energy. Her weight is actually up a couple of lbs more.

Switched blends

I feel good about this dog food for my 2 younger dogs . One is a high energy Vizsla 11 months and the other is a mixed /Border collie 20 months. I've had them on the Buffalo and Whitefish blend but decided to switch to this blend . I am concerned about the ongoing health concerns with proteins from beans. And these two don't seem to have any wheat allergies . I really wanted to stay with this brand , therefore the switch . Beans are like the 12th item listed in ingredients . Transition has gone well .

I’ve tried several dog foods over the years between having dogs with allergies & also gradually becoming pickier about what I feed. After learning a lot of the scary things about pet food manufacturing I was really surprised to find the ingredient list in Health Extension is really decent for a kibble! Love the fact that they use better grains in the grain-inclusive formulas & impressive ingredients like Co-Q10, Colostrum & Turmeric which I’ve never seen in a food. My senior Boxer mix dog is doing well on this, getting fed 1 cup of food, 1 cup homemade Bone Broth, 2 Co-Q10 capsules, 1 Pet Naturals of Vermont multivitamin, 1 Zesty Paws Cognitive chew, 1 spoonful Flora4 Sprout Seed powder, 1/4 scoop K9 Power Superfuel, 3/4 tsp Four Leaf Rover SeaSafe Liquid and 2 table spoons of Chlorophyll liquid at both feedings. My family’s Scotties have now been switched to the Duck formula after having tried Diamond Naturals and Taste of the Wild & my friend switched her 2 year old Goldendoodle to the Lamb & Rice with really nice results. This will definitely be my personal top go-to brand and recommendation for someone who can’t afford to feed dehydrated or raw foods but still wants to feed as healthy as they can. Hopefully the price doesn’t go up anymore though. $54 with auto ship is my budget limit.

Health Extension Lamb and Brown Rice works wonders. We adopted a white boxer who had stomach issues (vomiting and loose stool), he also had skin issues. We tried several Top Named Brands, (one recommended by the shelter) each time with no help with his issues. Finally our local pet shop (non-chain store) recommended Health Extension Lamb and Brown Rice. In a short amount of time his stomach and skin issues were corrected. Our dog is doing great on this food. When we moved I couldn't get the food locally. Then I found CHEWY.com carried it. It's so easy to order and it arrives right away (even with New Years Holiday). Thank you CHEWY.com.......
