My pup loves it
By mitchiethekid on Feb 5, 2021
We've tried a few different foods with our goldendoodle (Diamond Naturals Lamb and Rice, along with both the salmon and chicken foods from American Journey), and she ate them just fine as long as we topped with a little bone broth or freeze-dried topper. This Nutro Ultra is the first food that she will eat all by itself--she even likes it enough that we can use the kibble as a training reward. (When we tried that with the other kibbles, she would sniff it and then turn her head.) We are very happy with this food!

Solid poop and shiny coat.... and more!
By RottieMom on Jan 30, 2021
Game Changer for our Rottie puppy. Switched from Royal Canin Rott puppy food about 2 months ago. At 5 months he never really had solid poop! Maybe be had a more sensitive tummy. After about a week on the Ultra everything is better. Solid poop, good energy, shiny coat. He is not a picky puppy but does love this food. Wish there were a bigger bag for large bread dogs. Other than that it’s the perfect food for our pup!

Excellent Food
By Nikki on Jan 31, 2021
I switched my puppy to this from Pro Plan Puppy, and he is doing so much better on it! He had terrible gas with the Pro Plan (I’m not a fan of their reformulations, I’ve always fed pro plan to my puppies), and that cleared up immediately after we made the switch! Highly recommend!

He likes this food better than treats!
By Katie on Jan 17, 2021
I’m not even kidding when I say my 9 week old golden devours this stuff. He prefers this to any treats we give him and even when i let him try peanut butter or chicken broth he preferred his food! Very happy with this product and will definitely continue to order it and the adult food when the time comes :)

By shreyas on Jan 19, 2021
The food is not tasty for my dog he doesn’t like it . I have to add treats for him to eat. Also he lost weight after starting this food. (Switched from diamond puppy food) and it went bad in a few days even when stored in a air tight container

Amazing help
By Psmom on Jan 17, 2021
The product is great. My dog loves to eat this food and I have recommended this food to other people I know with dogs. I searched several days for some top rated food for a quickly growing large breed and your product came up several times

He loves it
By perfect2020 on Dec 11, 2020
We started feeding our baby this food with the addition of other proteins and oh my goodness what a huge difference, he's fi ally eating the full amount for his size, we had him on Nutro large breed puppy with just the normal chicken and rice, but the addition of the other meats has really been a game changer!

Such a difference!!
By Carli on Dec 7, 2020
Switched my 11mo Rottweiler puppy to this food from Iams and he absolutely loves it!! He wasn’t ever finishing his food before and had occasional tummy issues, but he eats his meals so quickly now and he’s had no problems with it at all! We use this along with Nutro’s puppy wet food as a topper.

Makes my dogs gassy
By Pmmcginnis on Jan 24, 2021
Our dogs loved the dog food and no issues with them not eating it, but all 3 of our dogs have had terribly stinky gas. We will be switching g back to the other food.

Good Quality
By CarlaM on Oct 10, 2020
Our 16 week old 50 lb Great Dane puppy has been on Nutro Ultra Large Breed Puppy for a few weeks now. He seems to enjoy it, but we noticed 2 important differences with this food vs the Purina One Pro Plan that he was on before: 1). He poops less - the “volume” of poop is less than before even though he’s getting bigger. 2) He eats until he’s satisfied, but seems to get satisfied with a slightly smaller volume of food. He doesn’t seem like he’s always famished & even leaves a little food sometimes and comes back later. He Is bright and playful and is still getting taller and gaining weight at an impressive and hopefully healthy rate. We appreciate having less “fertilizer” to deal with and love Our 16 week old 50 lb Great Dane puppy has been on Nutro Ultra Large Breed Puppy for a few weeks now.
