This is strange that my adult dogs (3) and litter of 6 pups, will not touch this. the are on mostly raw chicken drumsticks, but alway eat a bowl of dry also, working dogs 100+ acres. I slowly transitioned so no sickness, tried even sprinkling grated cheeze , olive oil which usually makes them OVER eat dry dog food, but they leave this and watch the crows and birds come eat all i put out,,l, so sad this is the 3rd bag i have tried in a row. something must be wrong with it????? never before with ANY other have this problem.

In switching our puppy from another brand that came with his kit from the shelter, the transition went well with no apparent problems. The price is very good for the ingredients. Might have to look into whether or not this food makes him thirstier, though. We have definitely had a major increase in water intake, but don't want to switch to another brand yet without a vet visit scheduled for next month.

It’s natural and he didn’t get sick from it. No corn. Good price and quality. I was spending over ten a week on small bags, but this is more worth it. He’s only a puppy, so it’s lasting us awhile.

Bought this as an option to rotate flavors of dry food for my 10 month old puppy, Melissa. She ate it pretty well for about 2/3rds of a bag, about average for her. I only buy small bags now because no matter how I store the food, it seems to loose its appeal before she makes it to the end of even 3-4 lb. bags. Not sure if it's due to how they are stored before I purchase or maybe due to the packaging.

The puppy food smells so rancid! It literally gags you! It smelled my entire 2000 sq ft house for hours after opening the bag. I usually buy this same brand and flavor from the store and it NEVER smells like this bag does. I am afraid to feed it to my puppy. I will NEVER buy food from Chewy.com again. Beware!

Recently gifted my mom a dog and I needed some dog food before I gave her the dog. With no hesitation the dog at all the food. At first I thought maybe he’s just hungry but when I caught my dog eating it and not eating her own food. I knew it must be good.

Healthy ingredients

I've been feeding my 6mo English Chocolate Lab this mixed with the Lamb and Rice from the same brand. Her coat is SO shiny! Skin coat and teeth all look beautifully

I've been feeding my 6mo English Chocolate Lab this mixed with the Lamb and Rice from the same brand. Her coat is SO shiny! Skin coat and teeth all look beautifully healthy. She's growing like a weed, and is so smart as it still has everything to promote healthy brain and eyes. Very comparable to purina pro plan, without the high price.
