Review Icon hugz4all4 reviewed Merrick in Dog Food Brands:
Update from my previous post. My dogs did love this food and I still consider it a high quality product, however after them being on it for 2 plus months they no longer "gobble" it up like they did and it has caused an odd red staining around thier eyes, mouths, feet, and rear end. I had to stop it and have since switched to a new food. I would still recommend Merricks, not every food agrees with every dog.

Review Icon Khaki reviewed Merrick in Dog Food Brands:
great canned food, especially the wing-a ling, another great attribute about the food, is that the cans are not lined with BPA , that is the truth, the canning co. that the Merrick's use don't have BPA lined cans, and to make sure the M. co. had the food within the cans tested, and they found no BPA in the foods.

does anyone else see what I see? corn, rice flour, beet pulp are all cheap fillers. I see nothing here that would make me want to switch my dog to this from her Innova. Normally I don't review foods my dogs haven't tried but I really don't see anything worthwhile here

Review Icon jaspersmom1 reviewed Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance in Dog Food Brands:



Well....after years of using this food for my dog, I am greatly disappointed in what Natural Balance has done to their Limited Ingredient Diets. First, they changed the Potato and Duck. I said, OK, I can still feed him the Venison formula and the Fish formula. They just did the same thing to the Venison formula that they did to the Duck one...took out the Venison meal!!!!!! So it is now 3/4 carb and 1/4 meat, basically. It's a only a matter of time before they change the Fish formula too, I suppose.It is hard enough to find grain free exotic protein dog foods for dogs with major allergies. I am on a limited budget so buying dehydrated foods, while very healthy, all the time will break me. Why do dog food companies have to change and cheapen their ingredients like this?
At least I know I can order the Great Life Grain/Potato free formulas online, but it's more expensive than Natural Balance. I will have to cut corners in other aspects of my life because I refuse to deny my dog healthy dog food, even on a fixed income. Shame on you Natural Balance for ruining a good thing!




Last update 5/14/08-Yet again, this food has surpassed my expectations!! I am on the second month of feeding my dog the Sweet Potato and Venison Dry Formula and so far, so great! To boost the protein levels he is also eating the Wellness 95% Venison Canned food as a topper. Allergies are still diminished, coat is wonderful, and no digestive issues. I do add supplements to his meal which might also help. He gets fish oil capsules, Immune Blend, and a Green Blend all made by the same fabulous company called B Naturals. I don't mean to plug another product as well, but I think the amazing food and the fantastic supplements together have made my dog very healthy and happy. Another home run by Natural Balance.


Update 3/06/08-I have had my English Springer Spaniel, Jasper on the Sweet Potato and Fish Dry formula along with the Fish and Sweet Potato Canned Food for about 3 months and the results are amazing!!! He did fantastic on the Potato and Duck and is doing just as great on the Fish. He went to the vet for his physical last week and the whole office was stunned at how well he looks. His coat is flawless and shinier than when he was a puppy. They said he looks the best he ever has and that he looks like he is a young dog. He is going to be 10 this month and is in perfect health. I credit alot of this this wonderful food. It has made him look and feel younger than ever!! I can't believe that a dog with so many allergies and sensitivities has come out of it better than I thought he would. This food has been a miracle!!


Even though this food has had some recalls, the Potato and Duck Dry and the Duck and Potato Canned food is the ONLY food that my dog does amazing on. He has loads of food allergies and sensitivities, and this food is the only one that agrees with his skin and ears, doesn't bother his stomach, makes his breath great, and keeps his eyes from running. I have tried many other premium brands, but always go back to this one for my guy. For my dog, this food is a keeper!!

Review Icon Dean1 reviewed Beneful in Dog Food Brands:
We started feeding our dog Beneful (Also came from Walmart) about a month ago. She has not been well ever since. her appetite is now almost non-existant, she has lost lots of weight, her third eye is showing, red eyes in general, today started vomiting yellow fluid( not clear but solid colored).

Of course we are very worried but all the other reviews have helped me to deal with this accordingly. It sounds like Beneful is the culprit. We cant afford expensive vet bills, and from what i read, i'm not sure it would really help.

Please pray for our "Emily". thanks.

Review Icon Luciaflorida reviewed Orijen in Dog Food Brands:
Our dog Spartacus (boxer) had a lot of health issues related to his bread, genetically, (gum,teeth and mostly skin) the latest was his body carried 4 bacterias and was 6 months under treatment (antibiotics) and healing creams. We fed him Solid Gold "Barking at the moon" and cooked food (yes I cooked for him rice,fish,chicken,vegi) as told by the holistic doctor.
The discovery of this Orijen food (the 6 fishes) 3 months ago changed his life and ours. No more rashes on his body, no scratching until bleeding. His all "personality" is much better(he feeels better), he is more a sweetheart than can anybody expects from a dog. I know that is the food and I recommend it a lot. The first time I gave him he actually showed me the box to give him more. And I gave up the cooking which is a less of a job for me. We love our dog and love this food which gave him back to us. Recommend it , recommended a lot.

Review Icon FranksWildYears reviewed Greyhound in Dog Breeds:
There is a person in my nieghbourhood who rehabilitates racing dogs and adopts them out (for a profit, I'm sure) as family pets when they are ready. The put a lot of work into them and I see them often in the parks where I walk my dogs. By the time they are ready for adoption they seem very well mannered and the person says they make affectionate, loyal pets and are reasonably easy to train. They look about as cuddly as a baby giraffe.

Review Icon milkmama reviewed California Natural in Dog Food Brands:
My review is for the canned salmon and sweet potato. My puppy LOVES it and is doing very well with it. She's low on her innova puppy dry and I'm seriously considering switching her to this line she likes it so much. I will have to compare at the pet store today before I do, though. Appropriate review will follow if I do.

Has anyone noticed that a great deal of the negative ratings for this food are from people that only posted the one time and disappeared? Also do you people understand that not every food will work for every dog? That doesn't make it a horrible food. As to the foreign objects in the food, why haven't they recalled anything? I work in a pet store and I've never had a customer tell me any stories about this food that relate to anything like that. If there's really a problem contact the company and return it for heavens sake! I love this website but boy there are some cockeyed people out there!

Review Icon milkmama reviewed Halo Spot's Stew for Dogs in Dog Food Brands:
My dogs loved all the canned flavors. No problems from it at all. This company stands out in quality and you can't beat their informative website and if you sign up for the newsletter they send coupons regularly! I was going to try the dry puppy, but last time I went to petco they were out so I stuck with what my baby's been on(innova puppy). But I would have no problem trying it in the future. I also used the multivitamin supplement for my older dogs and they didn't mind the taste mixed into their food. It's got a consistancy like gravy and seemed to work well. Excellent product line in my opinion!

Review Icon milkmama reviewed Eagle Pack in Dog Food Brands:
I am giving this a neutral rating for now because I haven't actually tried it on my dogs. However I work in a pet store in jax, fl and sell tons of the holistic line, haven't ever had someone come back and complain about it. The ingredients aren't the best nor the worst out there. I do agree I'm tired of the price increases like many other posters. We also get samples from the supplier just like all the other brands we carry like wellness, canidae, solid gold, etc. These are FREE samples they send with our regular orders, no "cuts". It's ridiculous to assume that we get money for handing out samples. In my store we ask as many questions as possible about each dog before handing a sample to customers based on the info. So your dog got sick from it? Sorry that happened but how can you blame the store for that? No one can predict how their dog will react on a different food. So it wasn't for your dog, move on and learn better english for pete's sake! I can barely read your post, it certainly doesn't make you sound very intelligent.
