Great for my Shih Tzu Puppy
By forthefurbaby on Feb 8, 2020 Top 1000 Contributor
Shih Tzus are known for having sensitive tummies. My last Shih Tzu had terrible tummy troubles. His food cost me over a $100 every 3 month (that was buying in bulk). I was a little worried about starting him him on new food after I brought him home. But this was super gentle on his tummy. It didn’t give him any trouble at all. At this rate, I may just keep him on this for the rest of his life. Why risk messing up his stomach when he’s doing so well. It’s just not worth it. This is great, high quality food.

nuggets too small
By Lodeeboy on Feb 19, 2020
I am sure this product is wholesome and nutritious, but the size of the nuggets are too small for my puppy..he chokes on them and has trouble swallowing them. Probably better for small breed.

My dogs like this one
By Elaine on Oct 11, 2019
After changing several times, per recommendations for the Chewy staff, I ordered this brand. They like it. I have a 7 yr old and a puppy and it is great for both. No more buying 2 different kinds of food. The customer service with Chewy is exceptional.

We just tried this for the first time, we've been giving her this food for a few weeks but unfortunately my pup will not eat this Nutro Wholesome Essentials Small Breed Puppy Farm-Raised Chicken food. She goes and smells it and walks away.

Puppy food
By Leena on Nov 3, 2019
My puppy really enjoyed this food. The food was small enough for her to enjoy. She always ate the food right away and it seemed to settle well in her stomach.

My pups love this food. They are very picky and they eat this up as soon as it hits their bowls.

Great puppy food!
By MalteseMom on Aug 8, 2019
I’ve been feeding my senior dog this brand since 2012 so of course when I brought a puppy home this was my go to choice! I gradually switched the puppy over from the food he was previously eating with no trouble at all. I’ve noticed that the puppy eats all of this food where he would nibble and leave the other brand in the bowl all day. Both my dogs love this food and will be Nutro pups for life!

Decent price, good quality. I foster puppy litters and they never have digestive issues with this food.
