Disgusted

Absolutely upset with Chewy ~ they sent me not only two bags of expired puppy food, but expired puppy food by 9 months! My dog now has stomach issues and diarrhea!

Absolutely upset with Chewy ~ they sent me not only two bags of expired puppy food, but expired puppy food by 9 months! My dog now has stomach issues and diarrhea! Chewy do better! This means many of your products must be expired if you ship expired food!

The bag I received was expired by about 2 months. When I told chewy they told me the food was discontinued and that I need to send the food back for a refund. Why I need to send back expired dog food I will never understand. Why it was sent to me in the first place will also remain a mystery.

This is what the breeder recommended for my poodle.

She is now 1 year old, so I'll be switching to a young dog food soon.

BAD GAS & MUSHY #2

I should have read these reviews before purchasing. While my new puppy loved the food, she has had terrible smelly gas and very soft stool. She was going up to 5-6

I should have read these reviews before purchasing. While my new puppy loved the food, she has had terrible smelly gas and very soft stool. She was going up to 5-6 times a day too, and of course accidents in the house were a nightmare. I finally got her a new food this weekend and started the transition right away, I can already tell a difference. No gas so far and stool is more normal/less often. Unfortunately I think this is the result of high protein diet. It was a no go for my pup.

When my senior dog started losing weight her veterinarian suggested puppy food for additional calories. She had lost all interest in her "senior" kibble but enjoys this puppy formula and is eating more now.
