Have an 8 month old schnauzer that just loves this food. Mixed with a little water and she has "gravy" to lick out of her bowl :) Will likely continue this beyond the one year mark but increase the amount of food at each meal; she is such a high energy pup and this seems to keep her well nourished.

Had to switch my puppy to blue buffalo he didn’t like this at all never ate it. I thought that was weird because when we bought him that’s what he had been eating but now at home he will only eat the other dogs food which is blue buffalo so we switched. Might be for others just not my dog.

Finally found a kibble my boxer puppy will eat, willingly. I have a senior boxer, on a senior blend. Puppy would eat her food, before puppy food. Switched to same brand, and flavors as senior kibble.

Our adult dog has been on Nutro essentials for her entire life. Our vet recommended the same for our new puppy. She loves it and gobbles it right down 3 times a day. She's growing like a weed...just wish we could slow that part down because she's just the cutest!

My puppy’s coat shines! They love this food. Wish it came in larger bags - can only buy up to a 15 pound bag.

Our adopted puppy came to us on a diet of adult food because the shelter ran out of puppy kibble. Our friends recommend this and he loves it. He's a healthy boy now and his coat is shiny.
