The best food!
By TiberiusMom on Feb 6, 2021
Our pittie had struggled with skin issues, severe allergies, and had a persistent ear infection. After steroid shots, rounds of antibiotics, and months of trying supplements and conditioners our vet recommend this food. Within 2 weeks of switching our baby was shedding less, his red hot spots were gone, his ear cleared up, and his coat was absolutely gorgeous. We will never use anything else.

Allergy Dog
By AmyB on Jan 17, 2021
Vet recommended for our 6 year old Golden Retriever who has allergies to dog food that uses processed chicken in the ingredients, which is a lot them. We have been able to get her off Apoquel which is a huge step. And we are ultimately paying less to maintain our dog even though this food is pricier than others. Glad to have found this food!

Did exactly as described and my dog loves the taste!
By Taylor on Jan 1, 2021
We got this for our 3 year old Great Dane who has a very sensitive tummy. He was eating a food that later got recalled, so we needed to switch. We’ve had to try 3-4 other foods (also duck protein) that just couldn’t settle with him. We finally tried this one after a vet recommendation and it is fantastic. From day 1, this food never bothered him and he couldn’t wait to eat it. He loves the taste! The price is worth it and I definitely recommend!

Hill’s Science Diet D/D
By NonnaB on Jan 18, 2021
Our veterinary clinic no longer sells the prescription dog food that our 6 yr old Lakeland terrier eats. Chewy quickly coordinated approval from our vet and shipped the dog food within 2 days.

Good, but expensive
By JohnS on Jan 7, 2021
Our dog likes this food and she has to have it due to alergies, but it is expensive, hence the reason for 4 stars instead of 5.

My sheltie no longer needs Apoquel after starting this food!
By threedogfam on Aug 13, 2020
Our vet put one of our shelties on this food, after being in the hospital with pancreatitis and acute kidney failure. Let me tell you, we tried all three flavors dry and wet. This dry, duck flavor is the only one he will eat and he loves it. We didn't try this food for his skin issues, but he has been able to stop taking his Apoquel medication! He used to get terrible hot spots that would require antibiotics, but not since starting this food! Super happy with this purchase!
