Questions & Answers

4 Customer Questions


Is this food baked or extruded? Is it made from American or foreign ingredients? Thanks!

Answer by ChewyMar 02, 2023
All I and Love and You kibble is extruded with the exception of their baked line. This food is made in the USA. The manufacturer's goal is to use the highest-quality ingredients they can get their hands on—so they source from around the world to ensure pets get the very best. The majority of their ingredients are farmed and produced in the USA or Canada. However, they source some ingredients, and essential vitamins and minerals from countries like Australia, Argentina, Thailand, and New Zealand. Their vitamins and minerals are blended in the United States by a U.S. company, and their suppliers undergo many quality checks to ensure safety.

What is the carbohydrate percentage?

Answer by ChewyMay 22, 2024
The carbohydrate content of this formula is 41% on an as-fed basis and 31% on a dry matter basis.

It’s this food ok for large breed puppies?

Answer by ChewyNov 05, 2022
This food is formulated for all breeds.

High quality kibble

I think it's really important to feed our dog's a food grade rather than feed grade diet. This kibble has great ingredients. I would like to see it not have so many

I think it's really important to feed our dog's a food grade rather than feed grade diet. This kibble has great ingredients. I would like to see it not have so many legumes, but most of the high quality cable are replacing grains with legumes unfortunately. Hopefully that will reverse soon. Too many legumes is worse than quality grains.

Fresh and good ingredients

My little girl has a very sensitive stomach, and we found this at a local store to try it out. I found on Chewy so we could get bigger bags to last us throughout

My little girl has a very sensitive stomach, and we found this at a local store to try it out. I found on Chewy so we could get bigger bags to last us throughout the month. Clean product which has been much better for my little girl.

Be EXTREMELY Wary of This Brand

I purchased this brand of food for my picky eater after reading positive reviews here on Chewy, plus my local grocer carried it, so it was very convenient to grab

I purchased this brand of food for my picky eater after reading positive reviews here on Chewy, plus my local grocer carried it, so it was very convenient to grab. While my dog seemed to enjoy the flavor, the kibble itself made him very, very sick. I transitioned him over to this food carefully and appropriately in terms of gradually mixing more in until his stomach had a chance to adjust, but even still, he had horrible intermittent diarrhea and gas for the few months he was eating I and Love and You. I’m talking clear a room out, wake the dead kinda bad gas. I’ve just finished transitioning him over to the Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin & Stomach kibble in the lamb and oatmeal flavor, and we’ve seen huge improvements! Normal stool, no more killer toots, and he loves the flavor. All that to say, this is, in my opinion, FAR from a quality food product and I’d advise exercising caution if considering it for your pups.

My dog seems to mostly like it

I have a picky boy with food sensitivities and he's done pretty well on this one. Sometimes I have to mix wet to get him to eat it, and other times he'll take it

I have a picky boy with food sensitivities and he's done pretty well on this one. Sometimes I have to mix wet to get him to eat it, and other times he'll take it alone. It's expensive for feeding a large dog very active dog(close to 100lbs). He's getting 5 cups a day which soon goes through a 20 pound bag. Otherwise, I'd say it's been a good food for him since it feels like we've tried everything out there. His poops look normal on this one and that's always a good sign he's tolerating a food well.
