My Picky Doberman Likes This!
By Guffeyland on Jun 1, 2019
My 90 lb., 10 yr old Doberman, Desoto, is very picky about his food. I was feeding him Taste of the Wild or Blue Buffalo grain-free and he would not eat sometimes for 2 days. I changed to Science Diet at my vet's recommendation and Desoto now eats twice a day and his coat is even shiny. He likes the small bites better than the large bites dog foods (maybe he's a chiwauwau inside a Doberman's body). I do wish lamb and rice was available in small bites for Adult 7+ dogs.

Love love Love
By Dehydrated on Apr 17, 2019
My senior chihuahua was getting sluggish and skinny, not really moving or eating anymore. I started getting worried about his weight loss. I changed to this food and he is up ready to eat at each mealtime and his activity level has increased. I had been concerned that he wouldn’t like the flavor but he loves it. Thank you so very much Chewy for helping me find this senior food for my long time fur-baby!

5 dog house
By Sherripie on Apr 26, 2019
Great food. Great service. I started using science diet years ago when one of my dogs became old and tired. Within one month her coat was lustrous and she was full of energy. The price at chewy is fair and the food is delivered in a timely manner. And I don’t have to haul 60 pounds of dog food from the store.

not small enough for a chihuahua
By BuddySadie on Apr 18, 2019
I decided to purchase this to give it a try since it says that it’s for small size and toy size breed but the kibbles are not small enough for my chihuahua. He’s 10 years old and doesn’t have all his teeth. I soak it in some warm water to make the kibbles soft for him but it takes a long time for it to soak. I don’t think I’ll purchase this again.

One of the best!
By Diana on May 31, 2019
Our veterinary clinic sold this exclusively. At the time this company did the most research on their dog/cat foods. We’ve had many dogs and cats through the years and used this brand.

SHE LIKES IT!
By Barb on Apr 1, 2019
I quite possibly have the worlds fussiest dog. But she likes the small bites. I wish I could find somewhere that I could try samples of other foods. It’s too much of a hassle ordering and sending back. The only treat she will eat is Costco’s chicken jerky treats and steak bites. Groomers always try to tempt her, but she’s not having anything else!

Good choice for senior dog
By Petmom58 on Mar 23, 2019
I have an 8 year old Shih-Tzu who is a bit overweight. I switched her over from Ideal Balance because I was concerned about her weight. It's a bit too early to tell if it is helping, it's only been a couple weeks - but she loves the food, has no issue with cleaning her bowl. My 16 year old boy Shih-Tzu also seems to like it which I am very happy about because he is very picky.

Never buying anything else again
By Christina on Mar 24, 2019
Having an almost 40lb bag of dog food sitting at my garage door when I came home is awesome. No lugging it from the shelf and into the cart, to the register, and car. I simply drug the box into the house, opened it, and fed my babies. They love it and went crazy for it. The best part is that they’re tiny so this bag of food will last me at least six months. SCORE!
