Sojos Mix-A-Meal Original Recipe Pre-Mix Dehydrated Dog Food

This stuff is very versatile. I rotate adding different kinds of raw proteins to this mix, and have discovered my two Australian Shepherds seem to enjoy having this served in different forms. Straight out of the bag and mixed with warm water or broth or even yogurt (best to wait a few minutes so the flakes absorb liquid and soften up) and the meat of the day, is my voracious female’s favorite. Her housemate is a bit fussier. He prefers the texture of a pudding, so I will plop his serving dry into a spice grinder and reduce it to almost a powder, before stirring in the liquid and meat of the day. Either ground or not, this premix makes it easier to provide your dogs with raw meals, since This stuff is very versatile.

I do believe next time I will order a smaller quantity bag just because of limited storage space, and to rotate with a grain free premix, for variety. … more

Wish we would have known about this sooner. Our furbabies love it! They have been eating this for about 2 weeks now and already we have seen major improvements. More energy, softer and shinier coat, less restlessness when sleeping, and our picky eater loves it! I never realized the right food could make such a major difference. So glad we opted for this!

I have been working on getting away from kibble, my collie was not interested in normal kibble brands and had no problem skipping meals, since using this base with mixers to round out the diet or the complete meal bag i no longer have to worry about my dog skipping meals and hes getting great nutrition to!

I have a SUPER picky eater who has turned his nose up at all kibble, wet foods and most other dehydrated foods we’ve tried. I had been cooking by his food for him for and decided to give this a try in hopes of having a little less expensive/less time consuming option and he’s on board! Scarfs it down every time. 2 thumbs up from the pickiest dog ever born.

I purchased this because I wanted to try a raw diet for my dog. She has been starving herself and refuses to eat nearly any dog food that I've tried. She will eat the ingredients that I mix together, but they don't have the vitamins that she needs. I was trying to do research to buy the right things, but I found this instead. It has all the vitamins already mixed in. The only problem is that it has a strong smell of different herbs that are in it. She doesn't like those. It's convenient, but she will not eat it.

The oats which is most of what's in the bag, don't absorb all the water, leaving it soupy even after 20 minutes with warm water. Its... just ok. If i had time, I could probably do better making oatmeal homemade with veggies and supplements rather then buy this. My dog isn't excited over this base mix and although she eats it, she doesn't "clean her bowl" either. Probably go back to using something else. The bag has a sturdy ziplock so its resealable.

I think it's an excellent product because it incorporates grain, is very reasonably priced and a great meal once the meat is added. I use hamburger or ground turkey, add a couple of scoops of Veg-to-Bowl and fresh fruit. My guy scarfs it up in seconds--he's healthy, happy and it's a great way to phase out kibble. Sure beats chopping veggies and provides all the nutrients he needs. I make up three days in advance and it couldn't be easier.

I've waited two months, to do this review, as I wanted to see how my dog's did on it. First, they seemed to do fine, when I was mixing it with the way I would make their old food...with some rice. Took the rice out, and one of my dog's, who is a young, very healthy mini Aussie, would digest it, way before the next feeding. I kept upping the amount. He's 14 lbs. and I had him up to the 20 lb. amount, and he was still spitting up yellow foam, with an empty stomach, 10 hrs. later...I feed twice a day, 12 hrs. apart. Added rice back in, so I could drop the Sojos amount, to normal, but then instead of one spitting up yellow foam, two started spitting up white foam.

Took me a bit, but we figured out, that as we got to the bottom of the bag, even though, we were shaking it and turning it, there was more and more supplement powder. So they're getting too much and their stomachs aren't settling well with it that strong. The idea is great, but not sure we will be able to buy more of it or not, at this point. I may have to go back to making our own food and adding a supplement pill. Wished this had worked. Made making a homemade food so much easier. … more

I was hoping my dogs would like this mix as they love the Sojos complete Turkey mix. But all 3 of my dogs were completely disinterested.

This is loaded with grains eventho they say it is not, their really is not a single good thing in this for dogs, very disappointed as I have been buying the veggies and fruit mix from Sojos, I haven't even opened the bag. after such a long wait due to the shipping (and I totally understand and expected with covid 19) and to see that the ingredients are so disappointing.
