I've always been told to slowly switch over to a new food for your animals. I would highly recommend you do that with this food. I had run out of our old food so I wasn't able to do that with this food. Both of my dogs I fed this too threw it up the first time eating it. They like it and have no problem eating it. They are eating it now with no problems, just be aware this might happen if you do a cold introduction in your dogs feeding routine.

My dog is about 14lbs, a terrier/dachshund mix. We wanted to try this food to see if we can keep her weight at this level. The bag says it is appropriate for small dogs, but the kibble size is a bit big. She LOVES the taste, though! So yes, I recommend it, but if your dog is super tiny, kibble size might be too big. I hope I can find a smaller size kibble of the same food when I reorder.

Started using this at my Vet's recommendation b/c my dog was overweight and my husband refuses to stop giving her food from his plate. After slowing switching to Fat Dogs she lost the extra weigh making both our vet and my husband happy.

Someone below complained about the name Fat Dog body shaming the dog. Scary. I sure do hope they were kidding. The name Fat Dog is perfect it fits and is actually attracted me to click on it! I sure hope this helps. My little fatty is starting to show some health issues :(

When I went to the pet store to buy my dog her Fat Dogs Natural Balance dog food and once again they were out it was so frustrating! Then I remembered that I get her flea and tick through Chewy so yes I ordered and it was promptly shipped I was happy and so was my dog. Thanks Chewy! P.S. she really likes her food but I don’t think it fills her up like it states, she is a lab and they are never full.Though she has lost 4 pounds and being short and stocky this made a big difference in her stature.!

One of my beagles is plump. I ordered this food for her in hopes she will lose a couple of pounds. Being a senior dog, I want to safeguard her health as well as mobility.

My dog has to lose weight, trying this out just giving him dry. He seems to have more energy already and better poops.

This seems to be a great product. We've used Natural Balance products for years. We were actually directed to use an Eukanuba variation, but it was out of stock without a restock date in view, so we found this option and went with it since its a brand we trust.

Since my dog needs to lose some weight I wish this dog food was not named Fat Dog. I really hate body shaming my sweet girl. It would be better if they change the spelling of Fat to PHAT. Just a thought.

I'm finally seeing some indent on my fat little guy! He doesn't so much look like a furry sausage anymore but still overweight. Not sure what ideal weight for him is but sticking with this until I can feel his ribs without having to poke him. He's still a puppy and came into a house with 2 senior picky eaters and got up to around 35 pounds. Tried the really expensive diet type but really didn't see much difference even after 2 or 3 bags - can't remember which. Good friend with lots of animal training told me "1/3 cup salmon based dry food once a day" but I felt my guy would just eat the house out of hunger. He loves this food - okay, any food - and I use a slow feeder bowl and we're on I'm finally seeing some indent on my fat little guy!

He's a Schnauzer pug mix looking more Schnauzer but with an overbite - adorable!! Knowing potential health issues of both his breeds and overweight dogs, I'm looking to get him to a better weight but want him happy at the same time. I really believe this food is going to get us there. Would recommend for anyone wanting a slow steady weight loss for their fur baby. … more
