Transition Instructions
Gradually transition your pet to any new food over the course of 7-14 days to help avoid the digestive upset that abrupt changes in diet can cause. If your pet tends to be on the sensitive side, it may be best to take a little extra time.
1. Start by feeding your pet a mix of 25% new food and 75% old food for the first few days.
2. Then, increase the amount of new food to about 50% and feed that half-and-half mix for a few days.
3. Proceed to feeding 75% new food/25% old food for the next few days.
4. Complete the transition by feeding just the new food on its own.

Questions & Answers
7 Customer Questions
What is the difference between the Ultra and LID formulas?
Answer by • Jan 29, 2021
The Ultra line is exclusively grain free. They have both grain-free and grain inclusive within the LID line. The Ultra has a superfood blend and a few different carbohydrate options and the LID line is typically one protein and a limited number of carbs (one or two at the most). Also the LID line has more protein choices within the line, Ultra is just chicken.

Answer by • Sep 15, 2022

Approximately how many cups are in the bag?
Answer by • Aug 11, 2019
There will be approximately 4 cups of kibble per pound. The 4 pound bag will have close to 16 cups, the 11 pound bag close to 44 cups and the 24 pound bag close to 96 cups.
I had to switch my dog's food because the one she had been eating was not in stock. This worked out to be a good and acceptable substitute. We're both happy.

Dogs love this stuff
Been feeding this to my two dogs for four years. They have been healthy, in great shape and always in great spirits. I’ve switched there food on them twice when this was hard to come by these last two years and they did not do well. I hope they always continue to make this. They did not do well on the limited ingredient version so if they do I’ll be on the market again for a new brand.

Excellent dog food
When I couldn't get my regular Ultra Holistic dry dog food, I decided this was as close as I would get to my dog's favorite dry dog food. It is, and my dog loves this Ultra Grain free Chicken and I will be buying it in the future.

My dog missed this
Used to feed both my dogs this food. Switched to another Natural Balance food for certain reasons and both dogs were fine with that but after a month or so one of the dogs lost interest. Went back to this particular one and he is fine now.

My dogs like it!
I have a very picky 15 yr old, tiny toy poodle who does not eat kibbles often, as she has very few teeth left, but she does enjoy this brand of food. I also have an 11 yr old chubby Moyen poodle who enjoys it as well. I, unfortunately, ordered the wrong size and Chewy was on it and refunded my money. I needed the small dog bites. This one is kinda big for my tiny girl, but she still enjoys her crunchies!
Love Chewy for the wonderful customer service and nice quick responses!!

My Dog Loves This Food
I have been very skeptical about giving my dog dry dog food made commercially. This brand was recommended by a friend, and my dog loves it! He is now kicking his bowl when he wants some! Rascal! I love that it is grain-free.
