Good Product.
By DebsDogDen on Feb 23, 2021
Some of my dogs liked it right away, the others were hesitant. I did not gradually introduce it to them. I changed dramatically, so that is probably the reason some were discouraged from trying it. But, now they are all eating it well. I hope it is as healthy as people have said. My dogs need good nutrition.

Chewy is amazing!
By Mimi on Jan 25, 2021
We love everything about the Auto-shipping- So Easy. We have 6 dogs so this is beyond convenient. We have also ordered everything from equipment to furniture covers to toys and treats. Everything has been of good quality, is as pictured, and if it isn't what you expected returns are easy and painless. All of the associates are helpful, knowledgeable, and always very pleasant.

Been Feeding Nutro For Years, Highly Recommend
By Krista on Jan 14, 2021
I've been feeding my golden retriever Nutro for several years now. After he turned 7, I switched him to the senior recipe. I keep him active. He hikes, camps, and swims often. He's now 8, and has so much energy that people mistake him for a much younger dog. I'm certain that is due at least in part to his diet.

Doesn't seem to be enough fat per serving
By starving on Feb 14, 2021
My dog is never starving like this. I had to feed them dinner much earlier. 3:42 pm they come to me begging for food. This food doesn't have enough to sustain them through the day.

Dog wasn't fond of this food
By Rach on Nov 18, 2020
A review is hard to write for this item and a dog at that. If it were the only food she had been given she might have loved it. My dog as only had Nutro Dry Dog Food; chicken, brown rice and sweet potatoes. When I started giving her the senior formula, which I started her on by mixing the two, she literally picked out the senior pieces and set them aside. Thinking she would like them if it is all she had I left the senior bites until most of the pieces she was used to gone but then she stopped eating. The food might be great for some dogs just not mine.

Worth Every Penny
By Hiya on Nov 14, 2020
I initially purchased this at a huge savings, which was in line with what I'd been paying for mid-quality food. My dog has been eating this for a few months now, and I have to say, it's worth the regular price and I will keep buying it. As someone who has to pick up poop (by hand!) for a 90# dog twice a day on his walks, I can see the difference this food makes in clean up! That alone is worth it. No more squishy half-runny poop to clean up off the sidewalk or grass along the road. His coat is better and he's still pretty perky for an old man of 7. He eats it eagerly, though he still begs for scraps from the dinner table.

Unfortunate expenditure
By Tracy on Nov 18, 2020
I bought this food in my ongoing attempt to provide safe, economical, and appetizing food for my 3 dogs. They will not touch it, no matter how long they have gone without food. I further researched it online and did find some reviews indicating that the food had made some dogs ill. Now, I don’t know what to do with this massive amount of food.

Doggo loves it!

My husky loves it and I love that chicken is first in ingredients, there is no chicken meal and is made in the USA.

Nutrition for Seniors
By Winnie on Oct 27, 2020
The transition to the Nutro for senior dogs went better than I could imagine. I think my dog Winnie likes it more than the other Nutro dry dog food she was getting.The fast delivery and selection is what I like about using Chewy.
