After our vet said Molly needs to go on a diet, we were worried about our girl eating diet food! We are happy to say, she loves the chicken and the beef stew! She has now lost 4 pounds in 2 months! It is so nice to talk to anyone at chewy! They are friendly and helpful. Thanks for making this a nice time for Molly!

Last year I had adopted a chocolate lab retriever from my local shelter. She was a bit overweight Due to my spouse's idea that what he eats the dog should share, well you know the rest. My sweet girl gained even more, in fact a whopping 20 lbs. On the advice of the Vet, we tried 2 different varieties of this food and she loves them both! Hopefully, with some extra restraint and exercise we can see some rewards with this new food. This isn't the old Pate's of yesterday , like day old oatmeal. A great mix of gravy and vegetables and meat of course!

Our small chihuahua mix needed to lose some weight and our Vet recommended this food. We were skeptical but were pleasantly surprised at how much she enjoys it and were happy to find it on your site after moving to another State. Thank you!

First & foremost, there are two kinds of this dog food. If you want the more wet consistency, you want this... STEW CANNED Dog Food! Our dog loves it & at her age, after being diagnosed with cancer, she lost 20% of her body weight. We needed to safely & quickly manage her back to a healthier weight. She DEVOURS this food. You'd think we gave her our chicken dish!

I bought this dog food for two of my little chunky dogs. To my surprise they love it. They've been on it 3 weeks and have already lost a pound. I'm pleased.

Especially love the discount price; only wish you also offered it in the Beef Stew flavor as well. I feed both to my dog - and I rotate the flavors for her. :)

i think she likes the solid more, or maybe it is just to hot or she is just in a mood for some thing different
