expensive but worth it.

This is the prescription-only dog food that I have used for bichon frises. One dog was not eating her normal food, even with the canned version of Purina EN mixed in. I switched to this formula, and although she liked it, she wasn’t finishing her dinner. I actually sat with my vet And recalculated her calories, and a 13.8 pounds, I only need to feed 3/4 of a cup of this food daily. I do add some canned food of the same brand, and I rotate with some tuna fish, boiled chicken or Greek yogurt. 3/4 cup daily, gives my dog all the calories in a nutrient dense food. I have always known about this food, but never committed to it because of price. Now, I’m realizing that the cost per day is not that high, my dogs have almost no vomiting, and they’re getting all the calories and nutrients that they need.

Our Vizsla pup switched to this food when he was 6 or 7 months old and it almost immediately fixed his stools. He loves eating it and his energy growth have been great. That said, he’s perpetually scavenging which we THOUGHT was just being very treat motivated until we realized the bag doesn’t provide explicit feeding guidance for puppies. Poor guy has been getting 1/2 cup too little food for the last month or two! Took off 1 star for this lack of guidance because I have to think many other puppies are put on this food for tummy reasons.

Shadow is a wonderful rescue. Of course they didn’t tell me about her sensitive stomach. The vet suggested this and it corrected the problem sling with cooked chicken and a little sweet potato! Vet didn’t always have it but Chewy does. Thank you, Chewy!

It was the wrong dry food. It could kill my dog. I re-ordered.

Very scary. This could kill my dog, Marley. I would like to return, get a refund, etc. I can't imagine why the veterinarian didn't catch the error. Thank
