This food is GREAT. I've used Classic, Basic, and High Stress (all granular products). Cleared up my GSD's allergies, firmed up his stool, made his stool stop stinking-to-high-heaven, stopped his itching, made his coat soft and glossy and stop falling out, etc. And my Ridgebacks are healthy as can be on Abady - nearly 6 years of NO Vet visits for health reasons.

The problems people have described in comments here (people who have actually USED the product) sound like they OVER FED the product and/or switched to Abady directly w/o a transition from their previous food. With the granular product, you only need to feed 1/2 - 2/3 as much as commercial kibbles, but humans have a hard time doing that, so they feed the same amount as what they had been feeding of commercial kibble. As a result, it is too much high quality food and naturally the dogs' systems are going to have a hard time with that (resulting in loose stools, upset stomachs, and as the one person noted, gaining weight). If you discipline YOURSELF and feed the correct amount, it should be fine. But yes, it's difficult to give a 60-lb dog only 3/4 cup of food twice a day! But if they thrive on that amount, then that is the RIGHT amount, regardless of our human "need" to stuff their faces like we stuff our own.

Lastly, I am appalled that people would come on here and "review" a product they have never even tried, simply by reading the ingredients list of one or two of the dozens of products that Abady makes. My Vets "prescribed" all kinds of foods to help my dog's allergies (chicken & rice; lamb & rice; venison & rice; chicken & barley; fish & rice, etc.), and I tried them all, and I tried all kinds of supplements (fish oils, garlic, vitamins, topicals, ingestables, shampoos, etc.), and nothing took care of the problem. But ABADY did. Of course the Vets had never even heard of Abady so it was not one of their recommendations. And you know why they recommended all that other stuff? Because they told me my dog was allergic to BEEF!! My Shepherd thrived on Abady, and he wasn't allergic to beef after all. Yes, Abady is more expensive as a food, but if I had fed Abady from the beginning, I would have saved a few thousand dollars on Vet bills. So when you're evaluating "cost" you have to include the savings you will have on Vet bills when you have a healthy animal.

As an aside, for those people complaining about "chicken beaks and feet"... Do you realize that Wolves, Coyotes, Foxes, and other wild canines eat pretty much EVERYTHING when they kill animals (except feathers), including their "cow anus"? Do you realize that wild canines will often eat the gut cavity of their kill first, including intestines (and contents), organs, etc. Do you realize this is how canines get a complete and balanced diet? So when you're complaining about what goes into various dog foods, just remember that it doesn't have to be palatable to YOU to be APPROPRIATE for a canine. And specifically, regarding Abady, before you complain about "chicken beaks and feet", it might be good if you called the company and asked them whether or not they use those by-products in their foods before you complain about the terminology, which is required labelling for certain by-products, including the valuable organ meats.
