Switched all three dogs (Westie, Bully and Frenchie) to this food, hoping it would help with allergies (Chicken). After slowly switching them over and after months of feeding, still had loose. They don't get any other treats or people food. Only thing we could think of was the pumpkin ingredient, which is supposed to help with loose stools.

I was excited to try this formula after having availability issues with our previous food. We began a slow transition to ease gastric upset. The first bag arrived mostly powder Chewy made good and sent a new bag free of charge. I did contact natural balance directly, they claim the food was fine & healthy to consume, claiming sometimes it can get crushed. The second bag was no different, 50% powder and worse it was making my dogs ill. After consulting with chewy, we discontinued using natural balance and saw asignificant difference immediately after another transition.

Only changed food because the one that worked well for us discontinued, so we tried this one. Only 3 bags, which were expensive and was very crumby / dusty. The last bag the worst. Not sure if it's the food itself or its being handled terribly, but we are moving to another dry brand.

I have feed the normal lamb and brown rice version of this brand to my pup now for over a year. I loved them because they advertise single protein source. One of my dogs has a chicken allergy so that is very important. My other dog was recommended to be on probiotics so when I found this version I thought it would be perfect to get both my pups on it. Didn't read the ingredients because I trusted this company from their previous advertising. I was so confused when I got it home and read the ingredients. Why does this have chicken meal and chicken fat???

Half Sand!?

First off, Chewy’s customer service was amazing and they worked with me, but both bags of this food came half pulverized! It was like feeding my dogs sand/crumbs

First off, Chewy’s customer service was amazing and they worked with me, but both bags of this food came half pulverized! It was like feeding my dogs sand/crumbs. Great brand, but don’t recommend this ‘flavor’.

Bottom of the barrel

Im thinking the 2 bags i got were from the bottom of the barrel. Every scoop is full of the crumbs that is usually settled at the bottom of the bag.

The bag arrived but it was kibble with a lot (every scoop is partially powder) of "powder" from the kibble.
