Feeding guides are general recommendations only. The amount of food required by your dog may vary above or below that listed in this feeding guide. It is recommended that your dog be fed 2 - 4 equal portions of the diet per day.
Ensure fresh drinking water is available at all times. Store this product in a cool, dry place.
We recommend at least a 7 day transition before you begin feeding the new food exclusively. Start by mixing 75% of the old diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the old diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the old diet with 75% of the new diet. On the 7th day, you can feed the new food exclusively. This allows your pet’s digestive system to smoothly adapt to the new food.

Can someone else (such as a caretaker or family member) place an order for my pet?
Yes, but we’ll need them to provide us with your full name or the pet’s owner’s name via phone, email or chat after the order is placed, so the clinic can locate your pet’s records when we contact them.

Do prescriptions expire?
Yes. Your vet will tell us when your prescription will expire and how many refills we can send before they’d like you to check back in with them.
Can I set up auto refills?
Yep! Sign up for Autoship and we’ll automatically ship your food for as long as your prescription allows. If you run out of refills, or your prescription expires, we’ll automatically contact your vet for a new approval. If we hit any bumps in the road, we’ll let you know right away.

I cannot say enough about this food!! I tried nearly every vegetarian kind on the market! She has pretty severe allergies and vet put her on vegetarian diet. After tons of money on other foods she refused to eat, I finally went with the pricy but apparently yummy food. She is EXTREMELY finicky. She ate this up!!! On her plate are 2 wet foods she refused to eat. After trying all the wet and dry veggie foods she barely touched, I’m thrilled to find one she eats!!!

My havenese had been plagued with skin problems and tons of dandruff since he was about six months old. Been to three different doctors and tried at least five different foods with various meat ingredients (e.g, lamb, salmon, chicken). This is the only dog food that has helped. Cleared it up by 90% and surprisingly he loves the taste. Never would have thought going vegan would be pleasurable for a dog

Chewy is awesome! We used to get this script food from our vet $$$ where we already spent a literal fortune for like almost 30 dollars more! And I'd have to drive and get it twice a week! Chewy delivers immediately! We stopped ordering our cat food from Natural paws too because of the price difference and convenience as well! I'm literally so glad I found chewy! Rescue moms rejoice! This food specifically is the only diet that has worked for our sever allergy staffy! We have tried everything! We sprinkle pro biotic on top though because I don't believe it has enough nutrients in it and dogs with allergies need gut support! Overall it's been a miracle with Apoquel I recommend an all vegan treat Chewy is awesome!

My dog has very bad digestive issues, and was gravely sick, even on a diet of homemade food, but the vet prescribed him Royal Canin's Gastrointestinal prescription formula, and his illness cleared up for good! It was well worth the cost, since I'd tried everything else. I don't eat animals, or buy things that require an animal to be killed, and I wanted extend that to the dogfood I buy, but obviously the health of my dog was my primary concern. I talked about this food with my vet, and she said that it had an almost identical nutritional profile to the Gastrointestinal formula, so there was a good chance it would work for my guy. We tried it out, and he's never been in better health.

I give him half this dry food and half the canned version twice a day. I'm so pleased that he is finally healthy and that his food doesn't cause harm to other animals! … more

My lab is allergic to chicken so this is the best food her vet found for her and she not only loves it but is so much happier and healthier.

My cocker spaniel is allergic to EVERYTHING. The vet put her on this food and I have seen visible improvement in her skin, eyes and nose. I am so grateful. This food requires an RX and Chewy called my vet and got it done right away...wonderful service! This was a win/win for us. The kibble is fairly large, but my dog loves it and eats it up.

My little dog has IBD and was recently put on this dry food as of 12/1/17. She loves the food and had no issues accepting it or keeping it down. It will be some time before we know if it really helps the situation, but I am hopeful that with her medications she can get her IBD under control. I will keep you posted.
