It is important to slowly transition your pet from his/her current diet as it takes a few days for the body to adapt to new nutrient levels.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our dogs seemed to love this kibble. It’s a trusted brand and price value follows. I think the ingredients could be better though. Not much vegetables included just all grains and protein.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have three large dogs one German one husky and one pitbull and they all loved it. It didn’t last very long because they eat like animals, but they really enjoyed it and my husky super picky.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As you can see from some of my pictures I have a beautiful Great Dane which they can definitely eat a lot and need a good balanced food. My girl likes dry dog food so this was an extra plus benefit especially being recommended by veterinarians. I like the concept of free dried pieces and it supports joint health which naturally Great Danes need along with vitamins.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our two boys love this dog food. The ingredients seem wholesome but the odious smell coming from our guys is absolutely horrendous. The dog food seems extremely expensive for the smells that come out of these guys! The packaging is nice, but I cannot continue feeding our guys this product due to the smell coming from our doggies!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dogs absolutely loved this food! From the first bite, they couldn’t get enough, and their bowls were spotless within 2 minutes.
I’m impressed with the high-quality ingredients. The deboned chicken and turkey meal provides a great protein boost, while the wholesome grains will help keep their digestion on track. Plus, I have been very concerned about dog food lately, knowing there are no unnecessary fillers or artificial additives gives me comfort.
I’ve noticed a slight difference with my dogs in just a short time. They seem to have shinier coats, more energy, and overall happier and healthier (maybe that is just in my mind). It’s also gentle on their stomachs, which is important since one of my dogs can be a little sensitive.
If you’re looking for a nutritious dog food your pups will love, I can’t recommend this one enough!

Wellness CORE + Wholesome Grains is a high-protein dog food that uses deboned chicken, chicken meal, and turkey meal as its primary protein sources, which are beneficial for large breed dogs requiring muscle support. The inclusion of wholesome grains like oatmeal and barley provides digestible carbohydrates, contributing to balanced energy levels. The recipe is enhanced with additional nutrient-rich ingredients such as peas, flaxseed, and cranberries, which are great for skin, coat, and overall health. It also contains probiotics and prebiotics for digestive health, making it suitable for sensitive stomachs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog loved this dog food! He ate it right away! I love that it has great ingredients. His coat feels and looks better. We noticed he is considerably softer. With his old food, he had stinky gas. He has not stunk up our house since the switch! His nose, mouth and ears look better as this food has done wonders with his allergies. We made the switch for good. The price is higher than our old good but the benefits are worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the ingredients of this dry dog food compared to some competitors. It is on the more expensive size but you get what you pay for. I feel this dog has more of a natural smell than some other dog foods as well. I love the packaging but wish someone would create resealable dog food bags!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tested this brand with one of my foster pups and I was overall impressed. The scent is pretty similar to any other dog food and the packaging was fine. My foster did great on it with no complications!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog absolutely loves this food! I have never seen her eat so much in one sitting, usually she just picks at her food all day! She is no longer begging for food because she’s full from it! Definitely worth your money!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was kinda nervous to try this with my dog because I read many reviews and most said it gave their dogs digestion issues, like diarrhea. But, I slowly incorporated this with his regular kibble, and he absolutely loves it. The only downside that I found so far is that there seems to be a lot of dust at the bottom of the bag. I just kept that separate and add a small portion to the top every time I feed him so he’s still getting it and there is no waste.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog is usually picky about what he eats but loved this dog food. I like the amount of food that comes in the bag for the price. My dogs gobbled this food down. This food is good for my older dog and my puppy. They both really enjoy it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Luna is a super picky eater. But it’s safe to say she LOVES this food! She usually eats a little bit here and there of her old food throughout the day, but when I put this in front of her she ate it all right away! Even skipping the snap peas and cheese I add to her food. I’ll definitely be getting this food again when we run out.

Open this bag that was vacuum sealed to find black bugs, crawling throughout the kibble. Absolutely disgusting unfortunately, my dog had already eaten several bites before I snatched it away from him. When I called, they said that they don’t have control over their product once it leaves the facility and the bugs can borrow into the bags. But this was a vacuum sealed bag, so I don’t see how that’s possible. They also said that the bugs don’t carry parasites, Really? How do you know that that seems like an awfully in statement to make to consumer. These bags are expensive. This is absolutely unacceptable and I hope my dog does not get sick. I will never trust and buy this brand again. Adding in the details in a pic so that others can check their bags.

Our girls (Labs) love this food!!! It’s so good for them! Full of probiotics and prebiotics. Searched every ingredient and they are actually good! In this day and age finding a good baby food that’s affordable is extremely hard!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I cannot say enough good things about this food! My almost 9-year-old Border Collie-Husky mix is one of the pickiest eaters you’ll ever meet. Finding a food he actually enjoys has been a constant struggle—until now. From the moment I opened the bag, he was curious, and when I put it in his bowl, he devoured it without hesitation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great dog food for good ingredients. This does not have as much of the additives and fluffy as other brands do. Also great that the dog seems to enjoys it too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kibble didn’t look like the pictures which was slightly disappointing. The dogs still love it though. Very nice opportunity to try for free! !!

It looked appealing at first to my dog, but there was something about it that just didn’t agree with him. I did what I was supposed to do to transition him but the food gave him lots of gas and diarrhea! He will not eat it after the first couple of times.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like that it’s natural. I have a 15 year old pitbull son and a 5 year old pitbull daughter. I would rather natural for them any day. There was alot of crumbs in it that was the bad part. As far as I know both of my dogs love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had high hopes for this dog food. The ine things I can’t stand, it leaves a “dust” behind when you put it in their dog bowls. It’s messy and leaves behind a film. My dog seemed to love it, flavor wise. They had no adverse reactions. I would purchase this for them if the “dust” problem could be fixed.
