20 Best Ground Beef For Dogs (2023 Updated)

I spent years as senior editor of some of the most widely read dog magazines in the world, but when I got a new puppy recently I turned to one of the veterinary world’s most respected nutritional experts for advice on what to feed.

Nutrition options and scientific knowledge constantly change so I appreciated getting a recommendation from someone who keeps up on the latest options. She wholeheartedly recommended Fromm Heartland Gold for Puppies.

But the proof is in how my puppy has thrived during this critical growth stage. He is the picture of health. The only reason I am not giving it five stars is that my puppy is a super picky eater so I often have to add toppers and mixers to get him to finish his bowl.

I suppose it is true for dogs as well as people that wholesome food doesn’t always taste best.

I have a purchased this brand and flavor of food for my rescued Bassett Hound for over a year now. He loves the food and can’t wait to eat every meal. He has sensitive skin and I tried several brand before discovering I and Love and You brand.

He has no negative skin reactions or allergies to this food. This is a well made premium food that you should confidently serve to your pet. I’m so thankful for this company and for the high quality foods and products they produce.

I wholeheartedly endorse this food.

It can be to find a high quality, non prescription , tasty and affordable dry kibble for our diabetic pups. I AND LOVE AND YOU NUDE SIMPLY SEA GRAIN FREE fits the bill! It has one of the lowest total carbs count out there.

Here’s how to determine total carb count in dog food. 1. Add up the percentages of protein, fat, moisture, and ash recorded in the guaranteed analysis. 2. Subtract that amount from 100. 3. That is the percentage of carbohydrates present in the dog food.

One small issue though: the amount of ash isn’t usually listed in the Guaranteed Analysis. However, this amount usually ranges from 5%-8%. Thanks CHEWY for offering great healthy choices for our diabetic fur babies.

Best kibble on the market! Our dog has an allergy to something in commercial made dog food. Usually within 3 days of a commercial dog food he would have a seizure. Once we found you I was FINALLY able to quit making dog food and purchase something more convenient and less time consuming.

He has been eating this for 3 years with out a seizure! We have converted so many friends and family into being believers. Most see an improvement in coat as they don’t have an allergy.

I have only one Labradoodle now 9 years young !!! He doesn’t complain and he is very healthy and hardly ever sick. No joint problems whatsoever. I’ve been feeding Duck ala veg ever since6 months old he weighs 85 pounds and eats on demand and is not overweight and he gets around great.

I had a Goldendoodle that was 14 she ate it 8 years had plenty of vim and vigor!!! I feed the from treats also my dogs never got tired of their food. I recommended it to everyone I know or talk to it is a great product and my dogs thrive on it!!! I can’t say enough great stuff about their products and pet flow great prices and services I will always stay a Petflow customer for as long as they keep selling this Brand.

Return customers please read carefully. You are now paying the same amount for a. 26 lb bag that has always been 30 lbs! 5 lb bag now 4 lbs! Customers being significantly shorted! If you have always bought the 30lb bag you’ve just been shorted $15 in dog food! Fromm’s always more expensive and now they’re significantly decreasing bag size! Such bad deceptive business.

Bye bye Fromm’s. There’s many other good dog food out there and I would never do business with such a deceptive company.

We have been trying to get our incredibly stubborn dachshund excited about food for 2 years. and these mixers have finally done it!! Our dog would much rather sleep until 2PM than eat breakfast, which usually results in him getting sick from having an empty stomach.

We have tried many kinds of food and we have tried many mixers and toppings. We were running low on options and needed to get our poor pup to eat. I went out on a limb and purchased all available flavors (chicken, beef, mussel, pumpkin, and cod) and we let him pick one (he boops the chosen bag with his nose) to crush up and mix in his food.

He has so far chosen the chicken, pumpkin, and cod for his food but he has tried and loved all of them! Tonight he licked his bowl clean, then went and stood by his food and mixer station whining for more.

It is the first time we have EVER seen him beg for food and it is a very good feeling. Thank you, thank you, thank you Instinct.

My dog Enzo love these. I crumble them and add them to his kibble. The main reason for this review is to applaud Chewy’s service. There have been multiple occasions over the past couple of years where I made an error and Chewy wither refunded me or sent the correct product and gave me the opportunity to donate products to local shelters.

I helped run 2 different Cat Rescues and I know what it means to get products donated. And the company empowers their customer service personnel to do this. No waiting on hold for a supervisor approval, or “we’ll get back to you in a few days.

” It is almost always an immediate resolution. This is the primary reason I will remain a loyal Chewy customer. And their pricing is competitive with other stores, vendors, etc. So, thank you Chewy for having well trained, customer focused and friendly associates.

My XL cat who loves all food obviously loves this. it is a blessing and a curse to have a cat who eats basically anything you give her, including pill pockets with meds in it. But she is XL because of it (as cat fur flies over my keyboard).

Cleopatra Rose, our long-haired calico beauty with a pink nose and prissy ‘tude who ONLY LIKES Fancy Feast pate or Fancy Feast speciality varieties even likes it. I crush with my fingers and sprinkle over the soft food for both kitties.

Sometimes even with the FF I feel they get bored of the same stuff over and over again. This is an added topper that gets the appetite going even for the picky Cleo Rose! P. S. the Instinct topper for skin and coat was a huge winner for picky Cleo Rose too.

Her fur was luxurious!!! https://www. chewy. com/instinct-freeze-dried-raw-boost/dp/187506?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=f&utm_content=Instinct&utm_term=&gclid=CjwKCAjwr56IBhAvEiwA1fuqGhyWj6BGGay9cMXjpTLavfZdYSfkjGg62NRiLK-EmqTMg_bQWCb-vRoCxgIQAvD_BwE.

I bought one of every kind of treat that was available on the site to see what my dogs liked and didn’t like. So far, they love every package I have opened! The interesting thing is that none of the treats or the Bully Sticks have any odor.

If you have smelled other Bully Sticks, you know how important this is! You can tell that all of the products are really fresh and they are packaged so nicely. The plastic zip bags that they come in actually work perfectly time and time again and the material used is really thick and hearty.

That is a nice change from most treats sold by others. I can’t say enough about how good they must taste. Our GoldenDoodle Litter of puppies are easy to train with the training size treats and they all sit at attention and look up to see what they are getting next! It is such a bonus to be able to put a handful of any of your treats in my pocket and not have them leave a stain in the pocket.

The treats are super clean, no odor, no staining and your fingers are clean after you handle them! So many things to love about these treats! I also love the fact that everything is natural and only one ingredient is used!.

We LOVE these treats. Continuing with the “nite-nite” gizzard review, these and the Hearty Bites are number 2 in our nightly routine. After turkey gizzards are completely enjoyed for putting away their toys, it’s a dash outside to tend to final business then patiently waiting at the back door with backsides wagging for the Beef Heart and Hearty Bites treats while I lock up then off to their beds and treat 3 before the lights go out.

Their final trip outside every night used to take a long, long time with all they had to smell and inspect, but they love the treats waiting for them inside so much that they’ve replaced the routine smell and inspect with a quiet, but fierce warning howl of their presence to any night creatures as they hurry back inside.

They are hysterical. I tried to substitute a left over treat from pre-Campfire days, but they both dropped the treat and went right back outside — and stayed. The quality of Campfire treats is well above any others and worth every cent.

On top of that, I so appreciate the attention and care with which they carry out their business. Thank you for taking time to let me know my pups matter.

I was looking for a low fat jerky treat made in the USA for my 8 year old rescue. She really loves jerky but unfortunately they are typically high in fat. She was having some pancreas issues and high fat treats are a no go.

I wanted a safe option for her but could only find low fat jerky made in china which I refuse to do. Came across the campfire treats website and decided to give this mom and pop shop a try. I was a little concerned when I got the treats because they are crunchy.

My girl loves chewy treats so I didn’t think she would eat these. She really loves them and I can feel good knowing they are made in the USA with no ingredients that will hurt her. Give them a try. I bet your dog will love them.

My dogs love all things Pupperonis, but I need to be careful on a choking hazard with one of my Dachshunds, and the sticks can get hard pretty quickly if you’re not careful about maintaining as little air in the bag as possible.

And sometimes, they just come hard; not to mention that they used to be really big and fat and those were nice and “juicy,” but then they started making them thinner and thinner—at first being inconsistent and a gamble on which you’d get—now it seems they’re consistentlytoo thin and hard.

So, I’m done with them. But these rounds have less skin and more soft “meat,” therefore, easier to crumble into safe to swallow treats. And my baby is happy!! But, Chewy, when prices are raising 10% in less than a month, pretty soon we’re all gonna be priced out of buying these joys for our babies!.

I received these free in exchange for a review. My elderly dog has become very picky in her old age. She’s not picky about these though. These Pup-Peroni Rounds have a very strong smell which makes them even more appetizing to her.

She loves them and I love to spoil to her with all the treats she wants on her old age. Definitely recommend. They’re also super soft which is easier for her eat.

I have a 7 year old Jack Russell Terrier that first started on Orijen Original when I took him off puppy food at around the age of 1. I fed him Orijen for several years and it worked well for him. He is very muscular and athletic and his coat is always very dense and healthy-looking.

Our vet always comments on what perfect shape Ike is in. A couple years ago I started hearing about a condition called canine dilated cardiomyopathy and a possible connection to grain-free foods. Wanting to take no chances I switched Ike to a couple different foods containing grains.

Now, Ike loves anything and wolfs any food put in front of him but the problem was cleaning up after him during potty time. I tried different grain-inclusive foods and with all of them his stools were looser and messier and harder to clean up.

I recently read more about the DCM and the FDA investigation and found that a determination was made that DCM could not be linked to grain-free foods. I switched back to Orijen a couple weeks ago and the problem disappeared.

Ike’s poops are firm again and he is much easier to clean up after. It may sound like a crazy reason to recommend a dog food but when you are picking up tootsie rolls instead of messy soft-serve three times a day it makes a big difference! Ike and I both love Orijen Original and recommend it.

I made a huge mistake with my dogs about a year ago, which is that I left them with a friend whom I trusted to watch them until we could get our house closed. It was ridiculous to try to live with all five in an apartment and it was less than a month.

They all came back to me skinny and covered with lice and fleas. We put them in an expensive kennel and while we got the infestations cleaned up, we could not get weight put back on them. They barely ate any food presented to them.

We had previously lived on a ranch, and I was feeding a different premium brand. They would not eat this brand once we got everyone back together in the new home in Arkansas, not sure if it was a different formula down here or what the issue was.

They went for days without anyone touching their food. The vet tested them a lot of things, including worms. We could not find any health problems besides the obvious, they were underweight and not eating.

Now I have a master’s degree in psychology, maybe I default to looking at behavioral reasons, but I do believe that animals have emotions too. I think that living in three different homes and being away from mom and dad induced some problems in them.

There is also a huge heat and humidity difference between Colorado and the new home in Arkansas. Enter Orijen. I was so distraught about my pets refusing to eat that I went to Petco and bought a bag of several seemingly good dog foods.

I filled five bowls and sat and waited. I know that is against recommendations for switching dog foods, but what could I do? The Orijen Regional Red bowl was emptied immediately. All of the other bowls, include Orijen Original and Tundra, sat untouched.

I did this for almost a week. Every single dog hand-picked this food. They would rather lick the empty bowl that had Regional Red in it than eat a full bowl of the other brands offered. That sealed it for me.

I still occasionally try to mix it up, but they really are not interested in alternative proteins. Here are a few pictures of Roper, he was the thinnest and most affected. He is so glossy, healthy, active and smart! This to me is a sign of good health, if my horses and dogs are shiny, I am a happy mom.

Since I am allergic to fish, I wish there was a brand available without fish, but I can live with that. It is expensive but aren’t our babies worth it?.

I have been feeding Regional Red for nearly two years now to our three dogs. Our oldest is a 17 yo Fox Terrier mix and has had cancer for three years. Initially we opted for surgery, having been told it’s an extremely aggressive cancer and surgery would only give us about six months before the cancer grew back and killed her.

The cancer came back as predicted, but our little senior citizen has been living with it since 2019 (it’s 2022) and even though the tumor is HUGE and inoperable, she acts like a happy camper every day.

We chalk it up to quality food. — Our second oldest is a 10 yo, 8 pound Maltese rescue with terrible allergies and skin problems. She undergoes special treatment and also eats RR. She was an adult and nearly dead when we got her, and was so filthy it was hard to tell what kind of dog she is, what with the dirt, blood, and staining.

She’s now as white as snow and never has eye or mouth stains. Again, quality food. She still battles allergies and I’m convinced that had we gotten her as a puppy, she would have far better health. — Our third is a Morkey who is extremely healthy and has never had a bad day.

They all love the RR and after decades of having dogs, I will never switch food brands again.

I bought this product about 2 month’s ago. My Pit Bull has ridiculous allergies! I did the allergy test at the vet and they assumed it was her food as all lab results came back with no issues. I was basically told to try a new food and wait 2wks, and to keep doing that until we find a winner.

I just started making her food myself, but that’s extremely time consuming! I came across this brand at my local Petco marked 1/2 off due to the package change! I purchased it, and she LOVED it! She’s never excited for dog food, and ate the minimum necessary to survive (lol, seemed that way to me).

I noticed a change after about a week! Her patches started to fill in (she used to have to wear a shirt because her skin condition was SO BAD!). I returned to purchase the food at the full retail, and I can honestly say after one month her coat is FULL and SHINY!!! Totally worth the price and I won’t feed her anything else! Yes, I’ve tried all the expensive big name brands and none worked! I’m so happy I stopped at that Petco 2 months ago!! My Queen is excited to get her food now, and the healthy skin is the ultimate payoff!!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture, but I honestly didn’t think it would work :(.

She no longer licks her paws like a crazy dog either!.

A year ago, we received an AKC registered 6 week old chocolate lab puppy. As time pasted buy and she was getting a little bigger. She kept getting ear infections one right after the other. I was constantly taking her to the vet, getting medication and the price kept adding up.

After really getting exhausted from all the steps in getting her ear cleared I decided to do a lot of research on where the yeast infections are cause by or from. Upon all my research I read that if dog food has a lot of Carbs it can cause yeast infections in dog’s ears and to also stay away from tapioca which is also a carb.

Long story short. I came across Acana Puppy. I started my girl on Acana in October 2021 in hopes this would help reduce her yeast infections in her ear. Yesterday I had to take her for her regular check up.

The vet told me that she didn’t have not one speck of an ear infections. She was good to go and she was health as a horse. I was sooooo happy to hear the good news. She isn’t suffering anymore. Thank you so much for making such an amazing product.

I know also have my beagle on Meadowland. I will forever be loyal to Acana dog food products. Thank you so very much for making wonderful products.

I ordered these treats after seeing an instagram ad (from account ’whataboutbunny’)- it showed the treats & the woman described them as ‘soft and chewy’, which they appeared to be. unfortunately, the delivery left them at the bottom of our driveway, which is not allowed, because it is not visible from our house- there was no snow or ice preventing proper delivery, but there was freezing temperatures, & all of the ‘soft and chewy’ treats were dried out, hard & crumbly- not what i was expecting.

I would expect any food delivery service to be instructed to deliver to the door, and not to throw the box onto an unmelted lump of snow, in view of the road, but not the home- just seems crucial for food delivery.

On the other hand, my picky pup seemed to like these- i wonder if she would have liked the others as well, had they not been so dried out and brittle….

Our dog was on an HA diet with intestinal issues that turned out to be a cancerous mass. Luckily the surgeon removed all of it. But we needed a change of food that was easy on her and healthy. A friend told me about Open Farm.

I called and talked to your veterinarian nutritionist who suggested harvest chicken and ancient grains and boy was it an easy transition. She loves it and is doing well. Thanks for the great products.

There are several flavors. Maxx & Dutch love them all! I added the Taste of Italy bowls to their dry food as a treat/supplement. Looks like human food but is much healthier! It has moist and recognizable ingredients.

REAL CHICKEN, HAM, PASTA & GREEN PEAS! High in Protein! I like that they contain Grain-Free,100% NON-GMO ingredients. They contain No by products, artificial flavors, preservatives or fillers. They do contain ingredients that support healthy weight, coat, joints & bones.

They help boost strong immune systems, without trying to give my boys multiple pills GREAT PRICE!.

Not only do I love this pet food, but my pup has never loved any food more! Previously, I was purchasing her kibble at Costco or Sam’s Club and decided to switch to this when I heard about it on Instagram.

I am shocked at the differences I have noticed in my pup. Lily now eats all her food as it is served and gets so excited when she hears that first scoop hit the bowl. She seems happier, her tummy feels better, and overall she has been noticeably better since changing to this brand.

I love supporting local, small businesses and am impressed with everything about this company. I would highly recommend upgrading your pet’s food!.

I have been feeding this to my 13 year old mix breed for about 4 months now. The change has been remarkable! He has always had a gluten intolerance and often had vomiting and colitis even while on grain free food.

Since starting this food his bathroom habits are normal and has had no vomiting. His coat is extra soft and his energy level is that of a puppy. Literally teaching an old dog new tricks because all he wants to do is play, play and play some more.

Truly an incredible change! Thank you so very much!.

I will always buy this food, I stumbled onto it by accident and my dog has had it since he was 2 months old. He’s almost two years. His coat looks awesome and so soft 24/7. People always ask me how his cost is so shined and teeth so white, simply put, it’s the food.

Well worth the money, and my favorite, ITS AMERICAN MADE!!!! Photos are a couple attestments to how awesome it is for his coat. Hope this help sone who are looking for a good food. Oh P. S. it’s tummy friendly also!!!.

CAPT. JACK is 13 years old this May 2022 and it’s always been hard to find him a food that he likes to eat and I have made his “dog food” for the past 2 years. Capt. Jack is a 9 lb Jackchi and he’s always eaten a few bites of what I eat.

Capt. Jack really thinks he’s a person so to find him a dog food that is acceptable was impossible until I found Cesar Filets in gravy. The slices of meat with the vegetables in gravy look and smell like a real stew and he finishes 1 or sometimes 1 1/2 every single day.

I accidentally was shipped a box of pate and he even ate that! and I’m shocked because he never would eat any other brand pate. Caesars is soft enough for his older teeth. Dry and crunchy food is not easy for him any more.

(NOTE: Little Alpo square treats are soft enough when run under a little water to soften them up. ) I wish I found Caesar fillets even sooner.

My 2 Pitbulls seem to enjoy this food. The one, my problem child, with skin issues, and allergies, along with hypothyroidism, and seizures, has had major improvements to his skin with this food. Many of the places with hair loss, have completely been restored! The only downfall, for me personally is that my boys, about age 11, seem to enjoy the food a little too much and over eat! Mainly, my problem child, although this could be due to other medical issues, and or the fact that they have always been allowed to eat freely.

When switching to this food, I just assumed free feeding wouldn’t be any different from other foods they have tried. But I think maybe the high protein in the food might just be a little too much compared to thier activity level.

The ingredients are of good quality. I like that is grain free, no artificial flavors or preservatives, no chicken by-product, the ingredients are what lead me to select this brand the first place. The weight gain is the only reason for my 4 star rating.

But other then that this food has been great and ive seen improvement. I wish it was available more often at my local tractor supply store.

Our 2. 5 yr old German Shepherd is extremely picky, always had to mix wet food in but he’ll eat this dry and it has helped his skin alot! Even the inside of his ears use to be red/pink, not anymore. He’d chew at his paws and his belly was red.

All better now. German Shepherds seem to have extremely sensitive skin (we’ve owned 2 others, it was a learning experience) and allergies to grains, especially corn and almost every dog food has corn.

Like I said he loves the taste and it’s great for his skin. He did still have some thick scales on his back but we put Vetrinary Formula clinical care spray on it and I rubbed/scratched it into his skin I haven’t heard him digging or scratching at all since.

Seems very comfortable. Of course obviously the best flea and tick meds last week. He’s extremely happy, full of energy. I know the food is expensive but it is worth it!.

My black lab mix has food intolerances. Can’t eat any grains not even rice without severe digestive issues. This dry food has the lowest pea products ingredients of any grain free I have read. The regular breed food has a higher pea products %.

Pea products have been linked as you all probably know to cardiac problems. I had a Doxie which had such. To decrease the % of pea protein that my dog is ingesting I add canned food to her meal. She likes the taste of the wilderness grill canned food so she will eat the dry food when I add wet food.

Very picky eater! This food also has a lower fat content than many other brands. Too much fat can lead to pancreatitis. My corgie had pancreatitis so for her I add 50% of her food with lower fat home cooked food.

Thus lowering her overall fat content! God bless, Laurie.

I’m Moe, a nine year old golden retriever. I recently learned I have an allergy to grains. I also have sensitive skin. The Dr. recommended this other food and treats, after telling the servants, I mean hoomans, who feed me I have food allergies, he actually wanted me to eat treats and food with grains in them! I don’t know why doctors think hoomans are stupid.

My hoomans said NO WAY to the treats and food he suggested, he even tried citing a customer reported action as an actual study to vilify my new regular food to have them buy food with grain in it! We animals know what is happening, and we tell you by scratching, rubbing, and pulling out our hair! If a Dr.

(they think that all other hoomans are dumb) says for us to eat something that makes us itch, and we stop scratching and rubbing with a different food, well, I know I like the food that doesn’t make me feel bad, and tastes like real meat, (cause it’s really meat) and we animals know when we feel better, and our hoomans know too.

If you are like me, tell your servants, I mean hoomans, to look at all the data, talk to doctors that work in food science, get a second opinion. And find out if your Dr. is getting paid for suggesting or prescribing certain foods, remember, doctors make money by having our hoomans take us into office a lot.

Some doctors don’t do that. And they call US dumb animals! I don’t scratch or pull at my muzzle anymore from food and treats. I am still treating my skin issues, but, my new food and treats give me more energy, a better coat, less itching, better tummy, and I’m more active and alert than I’ve been for a bit.

I’m a super healthy Goldie now, and my blood work proves it. Even my slight arthritis is getting better. Even though the food is a bit more expensive than my old ones, the hoomans save money by less Dr bills, and I actually eat less because I get more nutrition out of my food and treats! Five paws up from me! Also Kitty on kitty version for over 15 years and kitty’s Dr says she has great blood work and less hairball, I dunno what those are cuz dogs don’t have those, why would Dr say that this food subject to FDA study when that not true, it was a customer reported action and it shows no previous medical proof, we talked to dietician- you do it too! Food meets guidelines for USA or can’t be sold, Dr getting info from conglomerate pet food company, why not be scientific? Drs are science people right? Hoomans strange.

One of my hoomans used to work with doctors and they use this food with additional carnivore diet for kitties. Kitties live long time, even with issues! Kitties on this food (kitty version) live for average 15 and 19 years olds! I’m nine, and I feels like a puppy again, I drags hoomans around the house and haz no tummy issues, I working on other skin issues, but I look better and Iz feels better! You call Natural Balance- talk to the dietitian there, talk to other Drs too! Why one Dr say great food for allergies and another try to put on food with grain and say this food bad??? Hoomans strange, do what best for you all doggy out there! But, don’t get news from social media, get from real study, do more than twenty minutes of research if you really care about us.

If not willing to put in time, maybe you should re think having dog. We not furniture, we loving, needing animals that haz souls too! Feed good food, take good care of us. You get unconditional love, loyalty and devotion from us, why not return it? And yes, I loves dis foodz.

We got our puppy in March 2022. Started on the food and it was great, puppy transitioned off of her old food nicely, and had no digestive issues. The next bag we bought was a different shaped kibble – went from Cheerios shape to small round kibble.

Not a huge deal, because the ingredients were the same, but for our large puppy these smaller kibble pieces weren’t ideal as she could just inhale her food. The next bag we purchased was again new. The shape was even smaller, now a disc shape, and MUCH lighter yellow.

Since I wasn’t anticipating a change to the food again, I didn’t have any of the last bag of food left to mix with the new formula. Our puppy did NOT react well to this change (runny stool, light yellow, etc).

I reached out directly to the manufacturer to ask (they actually have a pretty easy to navigate chat feature on their website) as it was pretty concerning that I never got a single bag of food that was the same.

The person was pretty rude and not understanding/empathetic, but did let me know that they switched the formula from sunflower to canola oil due to sourcing issues and it’s “more shelf stable” All that to say, we ended up having to waste a 30 lb bag of food (no longer in the original bag so couldn’t return or donate) and now switched to Blue Buffalo and have had 0 issues since.

I tried this for my 7 year old male blue Doberman Pincher, he has skin sensitivities. I used to feed him Orijin Tundra grain free diet and he thrived but with the recent information about taurine deficiencies I’ve struggled to fix him a good quality dog food that is healthy.

Before this I tried Dr. Tim’s dog food. Then feeding raw but I felt like I was lost and I was concerned he wasn’t getting all the nutrients that he needed to be balanced. This was recommended to me by a pet “nutritionist” and I have to say I’m definitely unimpressed.

I gave it 8 weeks and have to say his coat looks horrible, overall he didn’t like it and I had to supplement it with broth. The quality of the kibble just isn’t there. You can tell it’s just not fresh.

Ingredients mediocre. I’m going to be trying the Zignature Lamb select cuts dog formula next. I’ve read many reviews and I love their ingredients. If you can spend the extra $30ish I would just do it.

If you are concerned I definitely recommend first talking with a vet, secondly reading reviews and information from sites that are not promoting any products. Follow me on my journey to find the best kibble! Please note that I also feed with kibble broth, fresh veggies, and either fresh goat or lamb meat.

Mixing raw is not for every pet or pet parent.

My pug has been eating both the Grain Free Small Breed Recipe – Chicken and Turkey and the Beef/Pork for over 2 years without issues – he loved it. However, I just purchased the “New” version last week of both – new packaging and new formula.

After 2 meals, I had to rush him to the emergency vet due to a severe allergic reaction- skin bright red, muzzle/face very swollen, hives. The next day, he started vomiting everything he tried to eat or drink.

It has take 5 days of extensive medication around the clock to get this under control. I am not sure what has changed or has been added to the “New Improved” formula but this is not an option for my pug any more.

New is definitely not always better. I am now out the cost of two 12 pound bags of food, the cost of an emergency vet bill, follow up vet visits and meds.

My King Charles Cavalier ate this food for about 4 years no problems. The bag I bought in January has much smaller kibble than the bags I bought in June. My dog began vomiting, was lethargic, had diarrhea, wouldn’t drink water, stopped playing, and was seeking comfort a lot.

Had to go to emergency vet. Has severe gastroenteritis now. Needs a special GI diet and an ultrasound. After diet of rice & hamburger, we reintroduced this food and she became ill again. Will not buy again or recommend to anyone.

I tested this food with my 5 dogs – three 150 pound livestock dogs, a golden retriever and an 8 pound shih tzu. They have all taken to it quite well. One of my livestock boys always had a sensitive digestive system and for five years I’ve had to treat him for diarrhea and he always had a messy bum.

This is the first food that cleared up that condition. He has not had any diarrhea or messy bum since switching to this food 3 months ago. I’ve tried different foods, including prescription vet food, but nothing worked until giving him Red Barn’s Grain Free Land.

I’m shocked and so pleased with the results. Due to all the controversy regarding grain free, I do supplement with a taurine powder. If your dog has bowel problems, you might give this food a try.

my 10 month old norwegian elkhound loves the beef cheek rolls. She could chew them all day , so I have to hide it off & on during the day. She likes the grain-free sky recipe food. I also want to thank you for letting me know that this recipe is better for her at her age.

I had originally ordered the grain-free land recipe, which you did inform me I should use when she is 12 months old due to some ingredient which is not in the puppy one. I also like the 5 -four lb. paks, as I am 76 years of age which makes it easier for me to handle one bag at a time.

I will definitely continue ordering from your company. Thank you for your dedication to keeping our pets safe while staying healthy. Grandma Coyle.

It seems to be a good food and my dogs eat it happily. They are not fussy eaters, though. I am now feeding to just my young female as I continue to assess the new food. My only noticeable issue with the food is that it produces large stools.

I have actually reduced her meal amounts and still the stools are much larger (but firm) than on the Victor Beef and Brown Rice formula. So, my thought is there is more filler in the Red Barn product.

I am not sure that the value is there to continue to feed your product on a regular basis. Victor, 40# runs $35. 00. RB 22# is $52. 00 discounted online. I think I will try the air dried as a topper instead of continuing the kibble.

George LOVES this brand of food! And there’s no hidden chicken or beef in the cans if they’re the ones you’re buying. George’s favorite, I think, is the Turkey & Pumpkin Pate. Fromm’s has a great selection of food too and I’m glad that PetFlow carries them all.

I was able to buy a variety of cases. enough that he won’t get bored with the same flavor everyday. No discount was available for this brand, but I’m still happy that I bought them. I would highly recommend Fromm dog food.

especially if your dog has allergies to certain meats.

I wanted a better protein source and high quality food, grain free, limited ingredient canned food for my 3 dogs and this is excellent in every way. They love it, I love the pop top convenience. This product is so nutritionally complete my dogs barely touch the kibble I keep out for snacking between meals.

And, because it’s nutritionally satisfying they don’t need to eat as much to compensate for wasteful fillers, like other products, so the higher cost is actually better on my budget.

The first time we heard about Fromm was from the adoption agency where we adopted our dog in 2019. They praised Fromm as being one of the top brands in the industry. Not the cheapest, but among the healthier and more nutritious foods.

Our dog loves it! We’ve given her a variety of wet foods since we’ve adopted her, and Fromm seems to be her favorite. She’s a hound and has a sensitive stomach, so for some time we had to keep her on special gastrointestinal food by Royal Canin, but once she got through that stage she happily switched back to Fromm.

We’re happy with the product and feel confident that our dog is getting the tasty nutritious meal that she deserves.
