Chewy’s packaging department really needs improved. I have a CASE of canned Glycoblance and a 7 pound bag of dry Glycobalance on monthly auto-ship. EVERY time and I DO mean EVERY single shipment is damaged. I have informed Chewy several times and they have sent me nee orders but after the first couple times of reimbursing me new cases they tell me we cant send any more new cases that they can only “REQUEST” extra packaging but its not guaranteed. Well it should be! Its not my fault they dont package it well and their FedEx delivery service is horrible. I pay A LOT of hard earned money for your product for you not to care about the shape of it when it arrives.

Great for med-large breed w/diabetes

My dog absolutely loves this dog food. We had tried so many other dog brands prior to this and she wouldn’t eat it. This she barely breathes when chowing down on

My dog absolutely loves this dog food. We had tried so many other dog brands prior to this and she wouldn’t eat it. This she barely breathes when chowing down on it and burps afterwards smh. Despite its expensive price, and knowing she needs it, I know she at least likes it at each meal. Just wish they had coupons from time to time.

Our Dogs like this food

Both of our dogs (even the one that's not diabetic) dive right in and gobble up these kibbles. That's saying alot because they're picky eaters.

It’s tough when you have a pet with medical issues, but it really helps when they like what they need to eat. Our dog loves this kibble and we can even use it as a treat without the worry of affecting his insulin.

Really does seem to help my diabetic dog

I was given some cans of the Glycobalance wet food to try and I noticed a reduction in urination and drinking. I saw several reviews from others with diabetic dogs

I was given some cans of the Glycobalance wet food to try and I noticed a reduction in urination and drinking. I saw several reviews from others with diabetic dogs commenting the same thing. He's been eating the Hill's Science W/D and I decided maybe it's time for a switch. I got the ok from the vet to switch to this. He likes the taste (I don't think there's anything he won't eat) and I like the small size kibble. The wet food is much more expensive, so I'm doing the dry, which is still pricey, but so far his appetite between meals is much more stable, and he seems to go longer in the day without having to pee or drink as much, even less pooping. I'm hoping these signs indicate stable blood sugar levels much improved than with the previous food
