Divide the total per day by the total number of times you feed your dog per day to determine the portion size for each meal. Keep a clean bowl of fresh water available at all times. Every dog is a little different, so optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, size and activity level. Please use the information in the chart as an initial recommendation only and adjust when needed.
Dry and wet food in combination will help increase the level of water in your dog's diet. If feeding with wet food, reduce dry amount by 1/2 cup for every 6 oz of wet food.
When switching your dog's diet, we recommend that it be done gradually over a 5-7 day period.�

Great service
By Alii on Jan 11, 2021
With a busy schedule I was finding it difficult to run out for food for my fur babies, although I’ve only had one auto shipment, it was a great experience. I must say that adding to my auto shipment was extra easy and convenient. I look forward to a long term relationship with chewy!

Great food for picky eater
By nonicknamemom on Dec 20, 2020
My Pyrenees wouldn't eat other foods and the vet had recommended that he have food containing lamb but he wouldn't eat others so I tried this one and he loves it!

great for very active dogs
By peepads on Sep 23, 2020
I have a black lab/Weimaraner mix. It’s very hard for my pup to hold weight because of how hyper/active his breeds are. This helped him hold a healthy weight and he absolutely loves it. My dog also have a very sensitive stomach and can’t handle most dog foods. This one has never given his stomach any issues! He’s was on the puppy formula and now this one for his whole 3 years. Highly recommend.

My dog won't eat this.
By CARL on Jun 16, 2020
I will have to choose another flavor. He started to only eat the freeze dried pieces and now I am mixing it in other food to try to get him to eat it with very little luck.

This is a trusted brand dog food and my dogs love it!

My vet recommended it
By MelMo on Mar 23, 2020
First, I was delighted that CHEWY delivered it so fast. My holistic vet said the first 5 ingredients in a dog food need to be meat. I took my dog off the other dry food ( I also give him a vegetable blend that I make & pieces of chicken). I didn't gradually mix this food into the other dry food. I just went from one to the other & he didn't have any stomach upset from doing so. He has only been on it a couple of week so we'll watch to see if there are any changes in his energy level in a month or so.

My Dogs are OBSESSED!
By TNDogMom on Mar 4, 2020
This is the worst product ever (kidding!). It created insanely hungry and overly excited reactions in my dogs. My Dogs are OBSESSED! I have (2) 90lbs dogs and this dog food is amazing. They love it. I'm afraid if they could get into the container of food, they'd eat the whole bag. They've been on it for 3 days. Today, they ran and played like puppies again. BUY IT, TRY IT.
