This is a great food for a puppy. The small size is good when the puppy is young and just starting on solid food. As my puppy is getting older the bite size works well as a training treat. I loved the 4.5 pound bag with the Velcro closure just wish the 15.5 pound bag had the same closure. This is also approved food by our very picky cat who love to eat it..LOL

My puppy is not food motivated at all but she will eat Science Diet. I can even use it as training treats too she likes it that much. I like that it comes in small bites, even other normal sized puppy food was too big for her when I brought her home at 5 pounds and she wouldn't eat

The price I get from Chewy is fantastic and the delivery time is awesome!!! I also have gotten treats and I get all my male wraps from them... they are really great!! No hassles at all.... love, love, love them!!

My jack Russell puppy started to have diarrhea, after almost three weeks on beneful puppy chow. His breeder had him on PurinaOne, but we didn’t think the switch would be too bad since it’s the same brand. Sadly, he started to have some serious diarrhea, he was still eating and drinking but just had runny poop. Took him to the vet just to double check that he was okay, and she recommended this. This is his first day on it, but he seems to love it! Will update later on his belly issues if I can, but it’s an easy to digest formula and it’s premium quality. I can’t imagine it won’t work for him, here’s to hoping, and here’s to better nights sleep for him and me both.

I have two Beagle-Daschund mixes. One boy one girl. The boy gobbles this stuff up. The girl doesn’t like it so much. She is very picky though. The food is very stinky, but what dog food isn’t? I love that it comes in small bites, as it is easier for my pups to digest (because sometimes I think the boy swallows this stuff whole).

I recently got an Australian Shepherd puppy who was still feeding from her mom. Whenever I brought her home, she didn't eat much for a few days which had worried me (I had even soaked the previous food in warm milk). Once I went to the vet for her first visit, I informed him that she isn't eating like she should. He gave me a free 2lb. bag of this food for her to try, and she absolutely loves it! She started eating it right away even without softening with milk! She now eats like a pig and is gaining some weight! Will be purchasing a larger bag very soon!
