[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first time I let my puppy try this he ate all of his food and even licked the bowl. She absolutely loves it. It Doesn’t have a strong odor. It’s nicely shaped not too big. The bag was easy to open.

My dog, Lilly, is VERY picky when it comes to food, I have been feeding her the same food since she was born,. I went to the pet store one day to pick up some food and inatvertently picked up regular size kibbles, she usually eats small bites. Well, she wouldn’t eat it. So this time when I went to pick up some food, and they didn’t have the size bag I normally get, the store manager convinced me to get Natural Choice, even after I told him how PICKY Lilly is. I brought it home, and she loves it!! I will continue to buy Natrual Choice from now on. I really like the fact that I know she is getting wholesome ingrediants and it is made here in the USA.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for a newly acquired puppy. I figured he would enjoy it because he eats most everything thing. However, it’s almost as he begs for seconds just as a human would. He finishes his bowl and then looks and acts as though he wants another. I would gladly give it, but don’t want to over feed. Extremely happy with the decision to give this a try. And so is he.

My 4 month old pup was having diahrea issues after being on same food breeder used. We were good for almost 2 months then diahrea started. Did bland diet and after starting back on small amount mixed in diarhea returned. I was impressed with reviews on Nutro lamb and how others had same diahrea issue but how it cleared up after they switched to this dog food. It worked for us too. My dog loves the food. I would recommend this dog food.

We have used only this for a couple of weeks and I will have to say our little black lab loves it. Her coat looks much more shiny. She has all kinds of energy and the best thing was it didn’t make her sick when we switched her over to it. She can’t eat it fast enough. This puppy food is now a must in our house…

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We just got a new puppy after losing our older dog. We thought that we would try another food.(Even tho we have used Nutro for years.) It was more expensive and highly recommended. Our new puppy had a dull coat, and was very itchy. After tring the new food, there was no improvement in his coat. We changed back to Nutro. After 2 or 3 weeks we saw a great improvment in his skin and coat condition. His stools are also alot smaller! We will always trust Nutro. It is a quality food. Will never switch again. We also feed our cat Nutro. He is in great health.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When we brought our puppy home from the “pound adoption center” she could not wait or get enough to eat, we were sure it was that she had shared everything with five other hungry pups. For the past month and a half every morning it’s out the back door to start the morning and then out the garage door to eat breakfast. We’ve fed Nutro from the start and she is growing, looking healthy and ready to play hard throughout the day. “When she’s not sound asleep getting her puppy rest”!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We use this dog food religiously for our Olde English Bulldogge. Beau. As a result, his coat is gorgeous, soft and he is very lean and muscular. Even his breath is good! Not to mention, with the controlled growth, he isn’t putting on a lot of excess weight or growing too fast, just slow and steady. No fillers means no dry skin issues (common with bulldogs) or GI problems.

In December we adopted a 12 month old German Shepherd from a GS Rescue in our state. It was like adopting a child. There were so many criteria to , pass references to get etc.. Finally , we got to pick her up. The lady that runs the rescue told us that all she uses is Nutro Large Breed Puppy. She had 15 German Shepherds at the time and feeds all the dogs Nutro. Our Bella is absolutely beautiful, and has a gorgeous coat. She grew two inches in heigh in the first 2 months we had her. She has so much endurance and energy. She runs in our pasture and I mean RUNS for an hour twice a day. We would never think of changing her food. She is perfect in every way!

I have been feeding Large Breed Puppy food to my Lab for six months now and I am getting complements on his soft and shiny coat all the time. Nutro is one of the only companies out there that can trace ALL their ingredients. Therefore, everything in the bag is made in America. That is one of the reasons why I love Nutro just as much as my puppy does. That, and all the healthy ingredients that make my puppy grow!

We had to wean our puppy early, the dam dried up. We tried a “so-called” premium food and our puppy had terrible diarrhea. It was the chicken base – our dam also has a chicken allergy. We then tried this food with its limited ingredients. An instant success! No more diarrhea and a very healthy puppy.

Switched to this brand, only to find out that it is rarely in stock. Took 2 1/2 hours and 1/3 of a tank of gas to purchase another bag. Now I have to switch brands again. After reviewing the quality of the food’s ingredients on line, it turns out to be a blessing in disguise.

Very please with this puppy food. My German Shepard puppy was having really runny & soft poops before i found this food. I couldn’t figure out what was causing it. Her other food was also a premium NO chicken mix food. Once she was on this food, poops were back to normal really quickly. She loves this food and gets so excited to eat.

For some dogs, I’m sure this is great, but our boxer puppy does not eat it very well. Most of the time she will leave a huge portion unless we add a little warm water. She is 7 months old. Her stools are not formed very well at all and they smell awful. We previously had her on the chicken and oatmeal large breed puppy, and it did the same thing. We have brought her to the vet several times and she is healthy seemingly. I’m not sure what our next move will be. She obviously isn’t a fan. Every dog is different and I’m sure it is great for some, but sadly it isn’t working for us.

We got a German Shepard puppy for Christmas. Seller recommended a more expensive food. Puppy did good, but had to be push to eat. Vet. ok to change brand. After reading about others, decided on this one. Best choice ever made! Puppy eats it without having to push to it. His coat and skin are just lovely and his digestive system is great. #2 doesn’t smell. With other one it did, bad! Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a good deal on dog food and wants to make sure that he/she’s dog grows-up healthy. Vet. approved.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a 13 week old black lab. Originally, we bought another brand of food, but our puppy immediately rejected it. A family friend recommend this food, and he absolutely loves it. He’s at 3+ cups a day right now, and I am sure he would gladly accept more. The ingredients are great and simple. And it appears to be pretty moist for a dry food especially compared to the original food we purchased. We will definitely stick with Nutro!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so excited and pleased with the New Nutro Natural Choice Puppy Large Breed Dry Dog Food Lamb & Brown Rice Recipe Size 30 lbs. I definitely recommend this product to everyone with large breed puppies. This product is all Natural and perfect size bite size pieces that so easy for them to be able to eat with out worrying about them choking on the small pieces of other brands that I have used in past. She is also very picky and don’t like any of the other products that I have previously tried. I can very happily say that I have finally found this amazing product and she now can’t wait to get it. I really love that it is natural lamb with brown rice. I am thrilled to finally find a great product that she loves and that is great for her as well. It has also made her coat so shiny and soft. She gives it four paws up and loves it. So if you are looking for a great dry dog food that your furbaby will actually like and eat you seriously need to get this product and watch how much better it’s eaten by them and you will love how much healthier it is and how much better there coat will be as well. This product is definitely mom and furbaby approved. Definitely going to keep buying this product it truly is incredible.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the Nutro Natural Choice puppy food for large dog breeds. My dog is actually an 18-1/2 month old chocolate lab. I was certainly hoping she would like this food as it is believed that her other food maybe causing her to have allergies. The Vet indicated we might want to try the Lamb/Brown Rice to see if this would resolve – what they believe – are allergies. She shakes her head constantly even after having medicated ear treatment. But, to our surprise, our Sadie girl did not like this food. The first night we mixed it about 1/2 and 1/2 based on the Vets suggestion. We had to coerce her to eat. After another night or two, we tried just giving her this food straight – without mixing – but she totally refused to eat it. We gave her her old food back and she ate it like there was no tomorrow. Since dogs can’t talk, I’m not sure what she didn’t like about it, but she flat refused to eat it.

What we did not know at the time was that she is highly allergic to any product with chicken base in it. It was the natural choice for us to switch to the lamb and rice due to the high quality of the product. She began eating well again and it saved her life. We are so grateful.

We have an outdoorsy family and take the pups with us to run along on fitness runs, hiking and ski trips. It isn’t easy to find large breed puppy food that truly delivers what it promises nutritionally. We tried some other brands and kept running into digestive problems and/or turned up noses. Nutro Large Breed Puppy food solved those problems and is enabling both pups to grow and grow and grow….and most importantly, thrive. Thanks for the great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first had my CaneCorso puppies, I was using Purina Puppy Chow, which i purchased from the grocery store. After the first 2 weeks I learned my lesson, and went to a local pet store to buy in larger quantity. That’s where I met the Nutro Rep. Nutro was a name that I had never heard of before, but he explained the ingredients, and about protien issues with large breed dogs, and how they have joint issues if they grow too quickly. He also pointed out that Nutro would make their feces less foul smelling.
I bought a small (20 lb.) bag t get through about a week to test it out. The dogs loved it! And the rep was correct about less odor. So i stuck with it, and since have used nothing else for any of my dogs.
Nutro Large Breed puppy formula was also recommended when my breeding female was pregnant, in order to supplement vitamins and nutrients that she would need. I used it for her, and she delivered 9 large (1.5 lbs) pups, and the next time 12.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our Belgian Tervuren mix puppy loves this food! We originally had her on the Nutro Max puppy food, but the commissary on base only carries the Natural Large Breed food, so we switched and she has thrived on it (she did great on the Max too–we love Nutro products).
Her coat is shiny and healthy–even our vet has commented on how healthy her coat looks. She’s full of energy and growing just as she needs to (27 pounds at 4 months). Her bowl movements are firm and not excessive, so I know that her body is doing well with this food.
I highly recommend the Nutro products–we will definately keep our fur baby on them, even after she outgrows the puppy formula!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nutro Natural Choice Puppy Large Breed Dry Dog Food is a great choice for your large breed pups. My puppy really likes the Lamb and Brown Rice Recipe. The food did not cause any digestive issues or upset. I like that I know my puppy is getting great quality ingredients with this brand. I would highly recommend it to anyone who has a puppy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never thought my pup would like something that had rice in it. He took to the food quite nicely. It never gave him stomach upset or anything. He is an English bulldog. English bulldogs are notorious for having digestive problems, so we as doggie parents are very particular about his food. He ate all of his serving, and didn’t have any problems. Even the next day, he didn’t have any stomach issues. I love the fact that it is made with actual lamb and brown rice. I’ll definitely be buying this in the future.

After loosing our rescued Buster the Boxer dog to the doggy equivalent of human kidney stones, the Vet recommended Nutro. While other brands carry an enormous amount of fillers (which is ultimately brought an untimely crossing of the rainbow bridge for our beloved Buster) she said that Nutro is equal to a human’s clean eating style. While some of it had to do with Buster not being neutered by his previous owner, the fillers in the other dog foods he had eaten in the past was also a direct contributor to his ailment. Nutro has several different options which contain little to no fillers and I swear by it now. A 40 lb bag lasts me 3 weeks with 3 dogs and is totally worth the price I pay for it! I highly recommend the switch because as per our Vet, the fillers are not easily digestible and have the potential to cause severe damage and distress to a fur baby’s digestive system! I will always use Nutro as my main source of nutrients for my beloveds!

We have a 16 month old Dogue De Bordeaux, who has extreme allergies. We have tried so many limited ingredient, organic, and even a RAW diet with no success. She was underweight, lethargic and had diarrhea and vomiting nearly daily and even got to the point she wouldn’t eat. With recommendations from out vet we found Nutro. She has stopped getting sick, put on much needed weight, and it is so obvious she is thriving from this food. Our vet has suggested we keep her on it until 24 months and then switch to adult formula. Mastiffs, by nature, generally have allergy issues with food and this was truly the answer to our prayers for our poor sickly girl!

We added a puppy to our family this year, and we switched him from the lower grade food he was on to this. By the time the switch was complete, we could already see a difference in his coat and nails. Better yet, there was less waste to pick up since Nutro is so highly digestible. Nutro large breed puppy formula is a real winner, and I’d recommend it to anyone!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After years of feeding our dogs what we thought was quality food, our vet mentioned to us the importance of reading the ingredient labels and the difference in the listed ingredients. We selected nutro for our large breed puppy because of the high quality ingredients that are listed first! They’re not filled with byproducts and low quality ingredients like other name brands that purport to be “high quality.” We realize now the importance of reading labels for our dog, just like to we take the time to read the labels for our own food. Now we pay attention to the ingredients for everything we feed our dog so that she’s eating healthy, quality foods just like us.

I credit her breeding and of course, her diet of Large Breed Natural Choice food. She is our third lab that we have fed exclusively with your brand. It is the BEST!

I find it disappointing to see pictures of ingredients like sweet potato and beets and yet neither ingredient is actually in the food. Unfortunately my puppy is not a fan of this food but the listed ingredients are not the worst I’ve seen in commercial dog food so I would say I have neutral feelings about the product. I had a Dalmatian that lived a full happy life on the lamb and rice food so I chose this food for my GSD as well. She just unfortunately just turns her nose up at it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We recently got a new addition to our family, a golden retriver puppy we named Riley “Pacman” Martin. Riley is just adorable and full of crazy puppy energy but he he is at his most energetic right at meal time. He know that laundry room is where his food dish is and it will patiently sit and wait at his meal times outside the door. But when I open the door, the patient, calm puppy is gone and on comes Riley’s crazy Pacman mode! He usually does about 5 to 6 spin jumps on the way from his food bin in the garage to the point of delivering his food dish to him. (although he does know he has to sit and wait before eating). Then Pacman goes into full mode! I have never seen a dog just love to eat so much and he just loves his Nutro Puppy Lamb and Rice food! About twice a week he also gets one scoop of the Nutro Lamb and Rice Puppy wet food mixed in as well and he goes crazy for it! He is such an avid pacman eater, I just recently purchased a slow feed bowl, so he can slow down and really enjoy his Nutro dinner now . Totally Pacman approved!

After a long time decision we decided to get a pure breed puppy. We got a chocolate lab we named Dexter. It was a rough begining. We knew to feed him dry dog food but he kept breaking out in rashes and our vet was no help. We got a new vet and she told us about nutro lamb and rice. ahhh, that did it! All the other lamb and rice products didnt work, the poor dog would scratch like crazy with other dog foods but Nutro Lamb and Rice fixed that and he loves it. Now our dog is a very healthy and in great shape 95lb dog, ya thats right 95lbs and in shape. So now we decided to get another dog, this time it was a rescue- she is lab and border collie mix we named Daphne. We immediately put her on Nutro puppy food so she could get all the nutrients she needed. She’s now a healthy 50 lbs and in great shape and she now shares the adult brand with Dexter. I could never feed these dogs any thing but your product, these dogs are amazingly strong, they run and swim and hike with us almost daily and with this being said I know , and I mean, I absolutely know, that there getting all the nutrients they need. Its a no brainer. I would also like to thank you for creating such a great product,you really did your research. Give your self a pat on the back, your product is the the real thing. The way i look at it, you just might have saved Dexter’s life where your compiatition couldn’t.

We fed this to our labs and they lived to be 14 and 15 years old. Then when our two twin labs came to join our house, we thought Royal Canine might be better because it was just for labs. No, it wasn’t. Loose stools, vomiting, etc. Finally realized the corn meal in Royal Canine was given them the upset. Switched to Nutro Lamb and Rice and it stopped immediately. Great product and will stay with it.

Since the day I brought my first puppy home, a chocolate lab named Roxanne, Roxy for short, we have not given her anything but Nutro. She absolutely loves it and loves to play with the bag everytime we bring her home a new one! She has had many compliments on how good she looks and how she shines. She has had a bundle of energy and gets all the right nutrients she needs on a daily basis for health from nutro. So far we have been very satisfied with the food, and hope to continue to purchase in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Always been a Nutro fan. I used to work in the pet industries before my current job. This allowed me to see which food was quality and which was just junk. The owners that fed Nutro to their pets always seemed to have nice looking dogs and cats. Their pets had shiny coats, good reflexes and seemed to be happy. From then on I changed my dog food to Nutro. My dogs had more energy, less stool.
I just picked up a new Husky and switched her off of Science Diet (Breeder’s Choice) and started her up on Nutro Large Breed Puppy Lamb Meal & Rice Formula. She is growing healthy and well and her stool is compact and solid. Keep up the good work Nutro. Thanks!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] my wife and i have an english bulldog now she is 8months old. I did a lot of research on the dry foods to try and give her the best and i found Natural Balance Original Ultra Premium to be the best one. Nina (the bulldog) ate the food pretty well for the fist 2months but after that she literaly did not want to eat it anymore she would only smell it have 1 bite and thats it. So i started to wonder what was wrong, so i contact the breeder and he said to use Nutro Natural CHoice adult breed puppy food lamb meal and Rice. So i really gave it some thought and finally decided to go for it. It’s been 3 motnhs now and she TRULY loves it and since then she has a beatiful coat and she eagerly awaits for breakfast and dinner, i feel awesome when she eats she’s 8 months and weighs 45lbs, the vet said she is georguos and in perfect weight.
I would never change this food for anything and i talk to all my friends about it.
Thank you very much, for providing my Nina what she deserves, Truly you guys really care for our family member.

We started her out on another “premium” dog food, but after doing some research, we found out how horrible cornmeal is for your dog, and it was the 3rd ingredient in the other brand. In order to prevent tummy upset, we started her out by feeding half Nutro and half the other brand, and she would get a mouthful, drop it on the floor and pick out the Nutro and leave the other 🙂 We also noticed a HUGE difference in the amount that she has to go outside! It’s so much less now. Can’t tell you how nice that is! Nutro is more expensive, but it’s so worth it to know that you’re feeding your dog a good diet!

We had our puppy on another very high quality dog food, that was almost twice the price and about 20% more protein. As she is an Olde English Bull dog and High protein was recommended to us.
She never had solid stool and was always a bit under weight. On her last puppy shot check up I mentioned it to the vet and he said to slowly change her food. With reading reviews, we chose to go with the Nutro puppy and since the complete change over her stools have been solid and she is putting on a normal amount of weight. Super happy with our choice.

My 20 week old puppy was struggling to gain as much weight as Id like, coming in 5-10 pounds under expected weight for a BMD each vet visit and we had constant issues with vomitting and diahhrea. A lot of money was wasted on everything from thinking our pet got into advantix and got sick, testing fecal samples, and disease screenings which went on for weeks before our pet store stopped carrying the brand we were feeding our dog. After much contemplation and research we chose Nutro and all of our problems resolved in one day. Dog is gaining weight and we have solid droppings. I’d love if we can get growth back on track and break 100 lbs!

My husband and I had our first family pet, a 8 week old pure bred Chocolate Lab. We both had dogs growing up and never experience sensitive stomachs. We had Boomer on Blue Buffalo for a few weeks and he had nonstop diarrhea (waking up several times throughout night). We thought he had a parasite, had him tested several times but no change. Finally our vet recommended a LID but the only one we could find for large breed puppy was this Nutro product so we decided to try. I couldn’t believe how quickly his tummy changed. Not only has he now been on this food for 10 months with ZERO issues, his coat is unbelievably gorgeous and he’s a big strong healthy boy. We get comments all the time about how shiny his coat is. My parents recently welcomed a new lab puppy to the family and they instantly put him on Nutro’s Large Breed Puppy LID food. This stuff is amazing, thank you for making our sweet boy so healthy.

I just LOVE The Natural Choice products. I have 2 Labs, 9yrs old and 7 yrs old. Both have outstanding health and I can really say I believe its because of the healthy diet they receive from you. I am so grateful to have a company I can trust that puts good quality into their product. I actually have a patient who works for your company and I asked her why prices were a little higher than competitors and she explained that the grain is great quality and they do not skimp on the quality of the food. They spend time searching for good products that are healthy. I kinda compare it to a “Kashi” but for dogs. It just goes to show that Nutro helps keep my family happy and healthy. I appreciate all the hard work you guys do for us!! I now have a puppy (mastiff pitbull) mix that has started his diet on the puppy formula. He Loves it. He has to eat on a baking dish to slow him down. I want him to actually taste his food. lol I know it will ensure good health for him. Thank you for your consistancy in putting a a great product.

They can’t wait until I set their dishes down and dive right in the second they can. Their droppings have reduced in sized and are more consistant. Their coats look great! We are sticking with Nutro all the way!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In June we had to put our 11 year old Siberian Husky down due to joint problems and a daignosis of bone cancer. It was a very difficult day to say the least. We even debated ever getting another dog again due to our grief. Then came Wisdom. We found Wisdom from a private breeder. He is a beautiful black and white Husky. As loving dog owners we researched the best dog food formulas in prevention in bone and joint disease and also in skin and coat health. Nutro blew the competition out of the water. On top of, not just the best choice for your dogs health, Wisdom also loves it!! If only I could get my kids to love vegetables while at the same time keeping them healthy the way Wisdom loves his lamb meal and rice formula, that would be something!! Hey Nutro, you ever think about making healthy food for kids? Keep up the committment to keeping our four legged kids healthy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had to transition my white german shepherd puppy from Pedigree since I read that it’s such a horrible food for them, mainly just filler food and no essential nutrients. After doing extensive research on several different types of food out there on the market, I narrowed it down to Nutro Natural Choice and Blue Buffalo, yet when I began doing more research on both of them, I found such negative reviews on Blue Buffalo and how it made other peoples puppies extremely sick and with constant diarrhea. After reading that and my little puppy already getting diarrhea from Pedigree I couldn’t do that to her again. After reading those negative reviews I felt that I may have the same problem with the Nutro food, but I was wrong. I read about the food and read a lot of positive feedback. Sure there are a few negative reviews out there, but a majority of the people LOVE the food, my puppy and I are now one of them 🙂 only thing I wish they had was more of a variety of flavors for us to choose from.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used Natural Choice on our last two dogs so when our son adopted/saved an Anatolian Sheppard Puppy in Afghanistan I thought we should stay with the brand we used on our other dogs. Dog food from the U.S. isn’t available over there so we buy the largest bag of Large Breed Puppy food, fill three flat rate boxes and ship them to him every few weeks. He plans on bringing Bella home with him when he returns next fall and wants to stay with the same brand of dog food that she has been raised on.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My German shepherd puppy has been eating nutro dog food since we got him. He has an allergy to chicken, but the lamb and brown rice have not given him any issues. I prefer the ingredients in this dog food over any other brand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve raised conformation dogs for many years, I’ve always had a hard time finding the perfect food for my puppies. After trying Nutros Large Breed puppy formula I was sold. I’ve never had a puppy that didn’t like this product, they all love it. They have healthy shiny coats. Great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When you invite a new member of your family to live with you for the duration of their life, you feel compelled to feed and nurture your guest to the highest standards. When I was directed to use Nutro Large Breed Puppy food, I was sure that my professional trainer had the background and training to give such advice. WOW!!! The food has exceeded my expectations of what good quality food does for a puppy!! My good friend purchased my puppy’s litter mate and has fed him run of the mill dog food. The difference was in their coats, energy level and the ease of clean up of their waste. I am sold on Nutro’s quality.
Being a responsible pet owner is also ensuring a preventative maintenance program for your pet’s health. The best start in a puppy’s life is serving Nutro’s line of high quality dog formula. My dog is and will always be cared for by Nutro!!

I just got my first puppy a week ago. I bought her the same food her previous owner fed her, which was Billjac puppy food. For almost the entire week I have had her, she would throw up constantly! I was so worried I took her to the vet. They recommended I change her food, and I found the Nutro Limited Ingredient Puppy Food! She has not thrown up once!!! I’m so happy she feels better. I’ll always keep her on your great products. Thank you for making such great food!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our puppy was using another brand of food (puppy chow). During puppy class the instructor challenged everyone to review the first three ingredients of the foods we were feeding our puppies. She advised us to stay away from corn and imatation ingredients. It was astounding how many brands had corn as one of their main ingredients.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We recently tried this large breed lamb and rice formula with our 3 large dogs and they really seem to enjoy it. They normally will not eat the entire bowl of their regular food but we had 3 empty bowls when serving them this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this nutro natural choice puppy large breed dry food. My puppy loved the lamb and brown rice even if he is a picky eater. I like that it is well digested by my puppy and also that his stomach did not have any issues. I definitely recomendable this its amazing and even my picky eater loved it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 8 week old puppy came down with Parvo the day after I brought him home. His test for the virus was a very strong positive and the prognosis was dismal at best. Thankfully, he recovered. When he returned home from the vet I started him on Nutro Large Breed Puppy food. He loved the food and made the transition to it from the prescription issue vet food without issue. Now, 9 months later he is totally healthy and growing just like he should. The vet was floored at how quickly he bounced back to a normal weight and size. The nutrition and quality in nutro was the best thing he could have had to nurse him back to health.
The nutro customer support line is very helpful with any questions.

When we adopted our German Shepard Husky mix he was 8 weeks old and I started feeding him Nature’s Recipe at the recommendation of a family member. He had diarrhea on and off for several weeks so I tried Blue Buffalo and his diarrhea was better but he was still very gassy (and it was bad!!!). I don’t know for sure but the common main ingredient was chicken and I found that almost all large breed puppy food was chicken. When I found this one was lamb I went and got a bag to try it and I couldn’t be happier. He almost never has diarrhea anymore and though he still had gas it is not as often or as unbearable! He is now 1 and has been eating Nutro for about 6 months now and I will definitely keep him on this food as an adult dog.

I just opened a bag of Nutro Large Brred Puppy and according to the Feeding guidlines on the bag I should feed my 80lb, 7mth old Bernese Mtn dog puppy 8 cups of food a day! Then I checked your website and it says to feed him 5 to 6 cups of food a day!! That’s a 2 cup difference! Can someone email to let me know which is correct?!?

My husband and I just got our first puppy, and we chose a Great Dane! As soon as we placed a deposit on her I started my research for her food! I knew that her food was important for proper growth and keeping her healthy. I searched for about 2 months, looking a various brands, heading to different stores, and talking to different Dane owners- as well as large breed owners. After careful consideration we chose Natural Choice Large Breed Puppy Lamb and Rice formula. We brought Audrey home a little over a month ago and she loves her food! Everywhere we go we get compliments on how healthy she looks and how soft her coat is! Our vet was very pleased with the food choice as well. She is a Dane owner, and feeds here Dane the same thing! I would not switch to anything else. The price is also very reasonable!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My very picky eater loved this food. I don’t know if it smells better than others but one sniff and she dug in. Definitely keeps weight on her. The bag lasted a good while. I did not have to constantly over feed her to keep her weight on her.

My 3 month old GSD puppy was on Royal Canine which was giving him a HUGE upset stomach/very loose stools, he also didn’t like it very much. I gradually switched him over to this food and I am so glad I did! He gets excited every time he hears me pouring his food in his bowl, he no longer has loose stools, has a beautiful coat, and is very energetic. i am so glad I made the change, lifetime customer here. Thank you Nutro!
