It was 2 months past best by date sent it back was told I was going to receive a bag of the same food that was not expired and I never received anything. So I spent money on expired dog food that i had to send back just to go to a store to buy a bag of food to feed to my dogs.

Mixed thoughts

3 of my dogs did well on this. One of my dogs got loose stools and upset stomach. So I ended up going back to my previous dog food.

I've been buying next level direct from the company through a subscription for over a year now. I switch up her food to keep her from getting bored without any stomach issues. I get the normally active , ocean catch and this one heroes salute. She loves all 3. And I feel like they've helped with some of her scratching from the Purina we used to feed her. Im only buying it from chewy because their subscription price is approximately 5 dollars cheaper each month

The food is bad

The food smells completely rancid. I have four dogs, not one of them will eat this food. I have tried everything, they refuse to eat it

Dog Approved!

I wanted to wait a while to review this one since I switched my dogs diet for it. The verdict? We love it! My dog is absolutely OBSESSED with this food. No hesitation

I wanted to wait a while to review this one since I switched my dogs diet for it. The verdict? We love it! My dog is absolutely OBSESSED with this food. No hesitation at mealtime, she practically prances waiting to be fed. She transitioned to this food very easily and has had zero stomach upset. Poops are healthy. Overall it appears to be a quality product!

Excellent Dry Food Option

One of my dogs is a little difficult when it comes to eating and I am always trying different add-ons to entice her but she is getting more finicky as she gets older

One of my dogs is a little difficult when it comes to eating and I am always trying different add-ons to entice her but she is getting more finicky as she gets older. She's been eating the same food all her life so maybe it was time for an upgrade. Next Level Super Premium caught my eye because of the American flag and you can immediately tell it is made from quality ingredients. It is packed with proteins and vitamins that are much better for my dogs than cheaper dry foods. The ingredients are sourced from known suppliers and made in Texas. Also, even though it appears to be for larger breeds, Raven had no trouble with the size of the kibble and actually empties her bowl every time now. My big girl loves it too. If your dog turn his/her nose up at dry food, give this one a try.

Picky eater loves it!

This food is for high performance dogs - which mine really are not. I have two greyhounds on this who run around the large yard and go on long walks, but they aren't

This food is for high performance dogs - which mine really are not. I have two greyhounds on this who run around the large yard and go on long walks, but they aren't "performance" animals for sure! I am transitioning them onto this food. First pass, my female greyhound, who reclines to eat, normally is a real pain in the morning and won't eat breakfast at all or it will take her hours to get around to it, (which causes her to be closed up in the kitchen for hours). I gave her this and SHE ATE IT RIGHT AWAY!! Hopefully it's not a fluke! I'll know more tomorrow! My boy will eat just about anything. I mix this with wet food and add a bit of water.

Nutritious food with all the right supplements

I started one of my Labradors on this product and cannot give a full review as we are still mixing his old food and new food, but I can say he loves it. He licks

I started one of my Labradors on this product and cannot give a full review as we are still mixing his old food and new food, but I can say he loves it. He licks his bowl clean after every meal. I chose this for him because he had a lot of gas with his old food and I needed a quality food that still contained glucosamine to try. I was worried the food might or my dog might smell fishy but the food has no fishy odor. I am excited for the gluten free and the prebiotics to help his digestive tract. He has not had any gassy episodes since starting this food so I am hopeful this will be our new food. If so, I will switch my other Labrador to this food as well!
