Great food!!!!!

I don’t know why so many bad reviews about not helping with weight loss or dogs not eating this food. I have 3 dogs. A springer spaniel, corgi and a mini Aussie

I don’t know why so many bad reviews about not helping with weight loss or dogs not eating this food. I have 3 dogs. A springer spaniel, corgi and a mini Aussie. All of them love this food, of course they all just love food. Before I started feeding them this food, my springer weighed over 50lbs, she now weighs 44lbs. She looks great, she can breathe better, and she’s much more active. Even my corgi lost 4 lbs on this food. My mini Aussie wasn’t overweight at that time so she didn’t need to lose any. Then Chewy was out of stock for awhile and I had to buy different food. My springer has maintained her weight, but my corgi gained back 2 lbs and now my mini Aussie is a bit overweight. I have tried Orijen and Acana, both fit and trim, plus a few others, and none of them have been as effective at weight loss as this food. We did like Dr. Tim’s, but I’m not sure if it helped with weight management as much. We have always followed feeding guidelines and Heath Extenstion Lite has always been the best at weight loss and weight management.

Our Bag was completely broken open when we received our delivery of CHEWY. We order this product every month. We are usually satisfied with the actual product, but Not THIS DELIVERY...The dog food is now stale and unsatisfactory (and a complete mess!). I am not sure if its a manufacturing issue or Chewy delivery issue. However, we hope someone can help us out with a new bag of fresh food. Thank you!!

Been feeding my 41lb corgi 1.16 cups per day for 3 1/2 months and she hasn't lost an ounce. 1/2cup morning 2/3cup evening which is recommended for a 20lb dog. I have to add pumpkin to keep her stool firm with this food also. She does absolutely love the taste though so I guess I will keep searching for a weight loss food.
