Transitioning your pet to a new food is easy. Simply start by mixing 25% of the new Only Natural Pet food with 75% of your current food and gradually increase over 10 days. Some pets may transition more quickly while those with sensitive stomachs may require a more gradual change. If you notice loose stool or an upset stomach, this is a sign to make the transition more gradual.

Dogs Love Meat
MaxMeat dog food is inspired by the paleo diet. With 90% meat content, it's a seriously protein-packed food for meat-loving canines. This holistic, whole-prey formula mimics your dog's ancestral diet for a complete and balanced meal, healthy mixer or tasty treat. Ingredients are gently air-dried to retain natural nutrients and maximize their palatability. The result is a jerky-style food that dogs love.
Air-Dried Maximum Nutrition
The gentle air-drying process is an effective way to maintain the nutritional integrity and natural flavor of ingredients. Each wholesome ingredient in MaxMeat is gently heated to 160º Fahrenheit and air-dried until it reaches the perfect tender and meaty texture. This results in a protein-packed, jerky-style food that can be fed as a tasty topper or a complete and balanced meal.

Healthy dog food
By Jane on Feb 4, 2021
My 2 miniature schnauzers are very picky eaters. When the box arrived, they followed me to the kitchen & jumped up & down till I fed them. They love it!! One has severe allergies to food & environment, that she was taking meds for. A friend recommended this food, & I have stopped giving my dog the meds. She is also much calmer & contented. This much improvement in 2weeks!!

All in all, not bad
By Evaa on Jan 9, 2021 Top 500 Contributor
I used this as a meal topper and also as treats for my dog, who has chicken allergies. I liked the all natural ingredients, and also that it included pumpkin, which is great for my pup's sensitive stomach. It comes with a little scooping cup, which is also nice. If I had to feed this as actual dog food, I'd be broke. But as a treat or meal topper, it's actually a pretty good bang for your buck, I'd say. Not many treats come in LBs. My biggest complaint is with 3/4 of the bag left, it was in complete crumbs. This is not unheard of for treats or food, but I thought there would be more, larger sized pieces to play with. All in all, my dog did eat them, and I probably will give it another I used this as a meal topper and also as treats for my dog, who has chicken allergies.

Good Stuff for dogs with allergies
By MMcG on Feb 3, 2021
My dog has some allergies to dust mites etc. and can't handle kibble without getting flare ups. This product didn't give him any issues. I use it along with a raw diet and so far so good!

fussy eater/bowel issue
By Gloria on Nov 16, 2020
My doodle seemed to be pooping allot and having problems holding it all night. My dog is 6 years old and has never had this issue. Took him to the vet and he was healthy. After reading many articles about dog food and ingredients, vets recommending more protein in a dogs diet I decided to try this product. After giving my dog 1/2 Max meat and 1/2 dry food, used Beef and Pumpkin max meat for 10 days, the difference in my dog was amazing. Not one accident in the house, he has more energy, and loves the food.

Great product!
By ILdogmom on Dec 1, 2020
We were first exposed to these during a training session for our dog, these little pieces really got his attention! We continued to use these for training only. A bit expensive for the bag, but it’s lasting us a very long time so I feel it’s a good value. A nice treat for sure!

Mmmmm.......treats!
By Mochi on Jan 11, 2021
My little teddy bear dog LOVES these treats! We put them in his snuffle mat and he hunts them all down. Perfect treats for training as well.

Not for my picky baby
By Boon on Nov 27, 2020
I read all reviews and thought it would make my picky eater "Boon" interested in eating food. What's a waste .. she ate a few pieces then wants nothing to do with it.. It's so expensive for nothing.

Great - but is it worth the cost?
By TatumsHumanMom on Sep 17, 2020
My 85 lbs German Shepherd loves this. I mix it with another food and she seems to enjoy her food. We open-feed so she goes to eat when she is hungry. No real change in her eating frequency but the food seems to last a bit longer (maybe more filling since its freeze dried). If you like this product, and you have time to "cook" your dog a meal, you might want to try their companion food "Wholesome Homemade Red Meat Recipe - dehydrated freshly made stew." Three scoops mixed with a cup of boiling water, let steep for 10 minutes and she LOVES it.

ok product
By FrequentShopper on Dec 3, 2020
Usually our picky pups love this type of food rehydrated in warm water. They aren't fans of this flavor or product. It is a nice size for the money, so I wish they were.

Great for Training Teats!
By PawsDog on Jan 5, 2021
I purchase these as training treats for my dogs and recommend them to my clients for training their dogs as well.
