Is it better to get 1 chicken and 1 pork and mix them than the chicken & pork meal formula?


Are any ingredients soured from CHINA

This food, chicken and pork meal version, was highly recommended by my local pet store when my dogs usual brand was out of stock. I was very hesitant as my dog will starve rather than eat something that does not appeal to her. She immediately ate the bowl of Inception. The first time I offered it to her. Dry food is used to supplement the frozen subscription fresh meals that I buy for her. Due to her enthusiasm, I will not go back to her former dry food and continue with Inception.

Nicer low cost food

My pet liked it and I bought this kibble to use as a travel food when fresh cooked food isn't possible. It's still rendered meal, so not as healthy or safe, but

My pet liked it and I bought this kibble to use as a travel food when fresh cooked food isn't possible. It's still rendered meal, so not as healthy or safe, but tight times call for tight measures.

I've had my German Shepherd on this food for about a year now, and she seems to love the taste of it. I love that it's keeping her healthy; her coat is shiny, soft & plush. Maintains her muscle mass, strength, & stamina. Has not had a single health issue since switching to this food.

Thankful that Chewy carries this dog food

We moved from one state to another and went on the Manufacturer's website to see where we could buy this food (our dog's regular food for years) at a brick & mortar

We moved from one state to another and went on the Manufacturer's website to see where we could buy this food (our dog's regular food for years) at a brick & mortar store near our new location. We tried both places listed and neither of them actually had the food. We tried Chewy and they had it! We now will probably order on Autoship to ensure that her food will be there in plenty of time before the current bag is empty.
