I've been using this brand of dry dog food for many years as I had teacup poodles, when I got my new teacup Morkie, I ordered the same food, and it's been improved! Thankfully, it's a bit smaller, and my little girl, Rocky loves her food! I will always be getting this dog food, really good!

My little girl wasn't eating her dry food Wellness and so I changed it to Nutro which is another top ten puppy food.. I guess my little Lola is just so picky because she smelled it and walked away.. I called Chewy and asked if I can exchange it and was told to donate the unused product of which I did to one of my colleagues at work for his Layla.. I love that Chewy is easy to purchase from and has great customer services they are always so pleasant. I was credited my funds and donated the goods to another puppy.. Priceless!! Love Chewy!!

The other food that I bought 2 bags of 26 pounds each, HoneyBear would not touch it and lost 2 pounds! I put her on this and she gobbles it down, gaining the 2 pounds back plus one other.

Our 4 month old Cavapoo wasn't fond of his Eukanuba food. Made a switch to Nutro and he LOVES it. Added bonus- I've noticed his stools are firmer and less frequent.

I was feeding my small shih-tzu puppy nutrisource, but it was so difficult to find since chewy stopped selling it, and it’s very high in price. My vet recommended nutro puppy and my little girl LOVES it! She also loves the nutro petite eats, and the mini bone soft treats. All of these are easy on her little belly!

Baby likes it better than her old feed. When I tried mixing the two to make the transition easier, she fishes out each piece of the old brand and hides them under the placemat. Can't get a more clear preference than that. It is also a very small kibble which was hard to find for my toy puppy's tiny mouth.

My little dog is doing very well on this food. His coat is shiny and healthy, and it’s gentle on his tummy.
