My Dog Love This Food!
By Tricia on Dec 1, 2021
My dog has a problem with his gut. He loses protein and can’t keep enough in due to gut problem and diarrhea. Yes, this is for weight maintenance but it’s also very high in protein. His vet prescribed this as part of a wellness plan for his condition and it worked! No more diarrhea and best of all, he loves it. This food actually helped to save his life thanks to the Vet and his wellness plan. I highly recommend this food if your dog needs weight maintenance because they will love the taste. Also, I had a problem with ordering the wrong flavor which was my dumb mistake but Chewy customer service was wonderful and helped turn around a very stressful situation.

Still a work in progress.
By Mell on Dec 23, 2021
This is a new food for her, so she is still having to eat it with her old prescription food. I am sure once we get past the mixing phase, she will like it

Velcro closing
By Adam on Oct 3, 2021
Adam likes the new food. He transitioned over without any problems. To me it's expensive but if it means his life it's worth it. I'm not too keen on the velcro closing. There's no way to keep the air out of the bag and I'm afraid it's going to get stale before he finishes the bag. That's great with my arthritis for closing the bag. Does anyone have any suggestions besides putting it in another container? Thank you for your suggestions in advance. Adam's mom

Metabolic Balance
By OliversMom on Oct 8, 2021
After a snafu with the vet/prescription service, Oliver went onto a non-prescription formula 'weight management' food - which, combined with a lazy person (me!), allowed for the accumulation of many unwanted pounds. Now, at long last, we are phasing the Metabolic Balance back into his diet. We are both looking forward to a reduction of these unwanted pounds. It has performed wonderfully in the past, and although gradual, it truly does help reduce and maintain his weight at a healthy level.
