Good dog food
By Kat84 on Feb 19, 2021
If this product has not changed just the packaging from when I have my 13 years old when she was a puppy. I feel like I need to switch to this brand again my new lab/pit mix I adopted from the shelter she seems breaking out in hives to Purina One Large puppy food. Like I said I'd this just like the one my 13 year old lab (passes away) loved I know this won't upset my new puppies skin or stomach. I'll update this review if I see a difference in a week.

Great for my Great Dane
By jess on Dec 25, 2020
Wowwwww i’m actually amazed at this puppy food! I had been searching and searching for the perfect large breed puppy food specifically for a Great Dane. This is it! Seriously. He’s 3 months and 2 weeks or so and pretty smart, but today he tried to take a huge mouthful out of the container i put the food in. Which he hasn’t done since he was a baby baby. If you have a great dane and have been on every site looking at the best food for them, get them this. Seriously the way my dog goes through 2 scoops of this food makes me think how could any dog not like this food. He was originally on science diet and loved that too but not like he loves this stuff.

My pup LOVES, LOVES, LOVES this food!
By Choncho on Jan 5, 2021
There's never been a meal where his bowl isn't licked squeaky clean! His breath, body odor, energy level and stool have all improved on this food. He likes it so much we even use it for training treats!

Great food and great price
By Lisa on Jan 7, 2021
I switched to feeding my dogs Nutro recently and find it on Chewy for a great price, especially with auto-shipping. My dog loves the food and gets very excited when her Chewy box arrives.

Finally Fixed
By FuzzRokk on Sep 22, 2020
I have a 5 month old Lab puppy, she has had digestion/loose stool issues since I have had her. She was fine with the breeder and when she first came home on the previous Purina Pro Plan formula. But they changed it, changed how the bag looks and added Probiotics. I they are "supposed" to be good for digestion. Tell that to my puppy, cause the new Pro Plan formula was not working for her. After going through multiple brands, from Diamond Natural, Hills, Pro Pac, Blue, etc. I finally found a food that fixed her digestion. It was Sportmix Wholesomes Large Breed Chicken & Rice. Problem is, I found out it was not an all life stage food. Just adult. The only quality puppy food I found that works is I have a 5 month old Lab puppy, she has had digestion/loose stool issues since I have had her.

Problem is, I found out it was not an all life stage food. Just adult. The only quality puppy food I found that works is this right here. Just FYI, I also tried the Nutro chicken rice & sweet potato version. Thought it also was great for digestion, my puppy just did not like it and I had to mix in a little wet food to get her to eat in. This Lamb Nutro version fixes both issues, the digestion and she likes it. So if you tried the chicken Nutro and your dog did not eat it. Try this like I did, and I do not regret it. Outstanding food. … more
