MemberJust wanted to toss my two cents in about Kal Kan dog food. I’ve been feeding my two labs this brand for the past few months and they seem to love it. No signs of upset stomachs or finicky eating, so that’s a plus. I checked the ingredient list before deciding to switch and happy to see real meat as the first ingredient – not just grain filler!
Now, my vet mentioned it might not have all the fancy bits like probiotics or joint supplements some of the pricier brands have, but for basic nutrition, it seems solid enough. If you’re working within a certain budget like me, it can be a smart choice! Of course, if your fur-baby has allergies or specific nutritional needs, I’d def recommend consulting with your vet first.
But all in all, I’m pretty pleased with the value for money I’m getting from Kal Kan. Give it a go if you’re looking for a good economical choice that doesn’t skimp on quality.
Talk soon!

MemberHey there! Let me just start off by saying I’m a huge fan of Merrick’s line of dog food. I’ve got two dogs at home, a peppy Jack Russell and a lazy basset hound, and they both chow down on Merrick like it’s going out of style.
I switched over to Merrick from another brand about 6 months ago because my pups were getting a bit, um, “round”. Got them into the diet range – Game Bird recipe in particular (grain-free). Can’t tell you how much energy they’ve regained… like puppies again!
The thing that really sells it for me though, is the ingredient list. Lean meats at the top of the list with all kinds of fruits and veggies right behind. No dubious ‘animal by-products’ or whatever. Plus, it’s manufactured right here in good ol’ USA.
Now bend an ear – price-wise, it’s admittedly a little heftier than other feeds. But honestly, seeing my fur babies healthier and livelier than ever? Worth every penny. If your furry friend has specific dietary needs or allergies though, do have a word with your vet before switching to any new food.
That’s all from this dog-dad’s side! Give Merrick a whirl if you’re considering it – wouldn’t wager you’d be disappointed. Cheers!

MemberBeen feeding my golden retriever Max Purina Pro Plan for about a year now annd let me tell ya, he’s absolutely smitten with the stuff. This kibble definitely seems to have all the nutrients that keep him healthy and his coat looking fantastic. Even more exciting, his veterinarian gives it a thumbs up too! Noticed some bags can be a tad inconsistent in quality, but customer service was super helpful when I had a concern. Overall, I’d say Purina is worth considering for your fur babies. Let’s give our four-legged pals the best, right? Good luck on your doggie diet quest! 🐾🐶

MemberI’m considering switching over to something a little more holistic with more natural ingredients just to see if there’s an improvement. Always trying to do what’s best for my fur buddy! On the upside thogh, Beneful is super affordable and hasn’t caused any digestive problems for Max. So might be worthwhile if you’re on a tight budget.
Just remember every dog is different, what works for mine might not work for yours. Always worth talking to your vet about diet changes before fully committing. Stay pawsitive! 🐾

Memberjuts wanted to share my two cents about Evangers dog food. My fur baby Humphrey has really taken a liking to it! We’ve been trying out the Grain-Free Chicken with Sweet Potato & Pumpkin Recipe and he’s gobbling it up – pretty much like a me at Thanksgiving dinner, ha!
One thing I love is that their formulas are packed with high-quality meats and veggies so I know Humphrey is getting top notch nutrition. Plus, they keep things grain-free which is great for those pups sensitive to grains.
The downside? Well, the price is a tad steep but you’re getting what you pay for here with quality ingredients. And honestly, anything for my boy Humphrey! Just wanted him glowing from snout to tail!
Hope this helps those on the fence!

MemberTurns out Max just loves the taste of Instinct and fortunately, his stomach agrees with him too. His coat is shiny, he’s energetic as ever, and his digestion issues cleared right up. I also like that it’s grain-free; it means no more allergies for my fur baby!
On the down side though, it is a bit pricey compared to some other brands. But considering how well Max has been doing on it, I’d say it’s worth every penny.
So, all in all, I’d definitely recommend giving Instinct a try if you’re in search of a high-quality dog food. Just monitor your pup closely initially to see how they adjust, like you would with any new food. Every dog is different after all! Hope this helps.

MemberTo be honest, Bella is kinda picky (aren’t they all!) but she pretty much dove into it. Happy about the protein content too because she’s an active one – loves her long walks and park playdates. I was also quite surprised with how reasonable the price point is for such quality food. So yeah, definitely a new fan of Lone Wolf Ranch here and Bella gives it some serious paws up too! 🐾
I’d say give it a whirl with your pooch! We might be seeing more tail-wagging happiness at upcoming park meets 😉
09/25/2024 at 7:36 PM in reply to: Looking for a Genuine Blue Buffalo Dog Food Review? Here’s mine. #2259snuggly_retriever_1349
MemberI’ve been giving my golden retriever, Buster, Blue Buffalo for about six months now. It’s pricier than some other brands out there, but you can really see the difference in quality. As soon as I switched him over, his coat got shinier and he started having more energy.
He particularly loves their “Life Protection Formula.” Chicken and brown rice is a big hit with him – gobbles it right up. Plus, its grain-inclusive which is a nice change from the many grain-free options these days. And did I mention they have no weird additives or by-products? That was a big selling point for me.
That said, I’ve heard some dogs can have sensitive stomachs to it or don’t like the taste… But luckily Buster’s had no problems. The vet says he’s never looked healthier!
All in all, thoroughly recommend giving Blue Buffalo a shot if you’re thinking about switching up your dog’s food. Just remember every dog is different and what works for one may not work for another.

MemberOh, Acana dog food? I’ve been using it for about six months now for my golden retriever, Max. Taste wise, well, I haven’t tried it myself (haha), but Max seems to love it.
It’s packed with proteins annd I’ve noticed how his coat has gotten shinier and he’s more active than ever. That said, it IS a bit pricier than other brands out there. But considering it’s grain-free (Max has a sensitive stomach) and uses fresh regional ingredients without extra fillers or preservatives, I think it’s totally worth the extra dollars.
Depending on your dog’s dietary needs and your budget though, it could be a good fit. Do check the ingredient list for any potential allergens your dog might have just to be safe. Happy dog parenting!

MemberThat said, it’s definitely a bit pricier than some other brands out there, but for the boost in energy and improved coat condition (I swear she shines now), it’s totally worth it in my book! Also, gotta say, their Macanna formula is a hit at home! Definitely give it a go if you haven’t yet.
Just remember each pooch is unique so what works for my Bichon might not be universal; but sincerely recommending based on our experience. Can’t beat the peace of mind from high-quality grub for our four-legged pals! Happy feeding!

MemberI totally got your interest in scouting for the best kibble out there. My Lab, Bruno and I embarked on this food journey last Sunday – a bit of fun experiment we tried. Thought I’d drop in my two cents about the “Sunday Dog Food” we reviewed.
Well, first off, adored the packaging! It’s eco-friendly and got delivered right to our front door. A win-win. But of course, the main event is the food itself! So, I popped open a bag and surprisingly, it smells pretty good. Not that usual dog food stink we’ve all come to know!
Bruno? His sniffer went into overdrive and he couldn’t wait for his dinner time. He gobbled up like he hadn’t eaten in days which was quite entertaining to see (Don’t worry, he eats regularly!)
The ingredients seem top-notch too! Grain-free with loads of nutritional goodness like Salmon, Brown Rice and Sweet Potatoes. If I were a doggie, this would be my gourmet meal, haha!
Been noticing his fur getting shinier after a week or so. Coincidence? Who knows, but hey it’s a plus!
It’s been a week since we switched and no upset tummies or anything (Bruno sends his gratitude for that!). Just a happy lab with an even happier tummy.
Have any of you guys tried it yet? Would love to hear about your experiences as well,
Happy woofs and tail wags!
08/21/2024 at 12:06 AM in reply to: Looking for Honest Opinions – An Open Farm Dog Food Review #1996snuggly_retriever_1349
MemberJust wanted to weigh in on the Open Farm dog food. We’ve been feeding it to our golden retriever, Charlie, for about 6 months now annd honestly? He seems to love it. I was a bit skeptical at first because of the price point, but let me tell you, you definitely get what you pay for.
Our boy has some sensitive stomach issues and we’ve tried several brands before this with not much luck. Since switching to Open Farm though, his tummy troubles have significantly reduced. Plus, I really like the ingredient transparency – gives me confidence knowing that I’m feeding my buddy quality food that’s good for his overall health.
Downside? Well, it’s a bit on the pricier side but considering the benefits, I’d say it’s worth it. Just remember every pup is different so what works great for Charlie might not be the perfect fit for your pooch! Best of luck!
07/25/2024 at 1:29 AM in reply to: My Fresh Perspective on 4health Dog Food: A Comprehensive Review #2244snuggly_retriever_1349
MemberOne thing I really appreciate is the fact that they keep their ingredient list clean – real meat as the first ingredient and no corn, wheat or soy. As someone trying to be mindful of Toby’s diet, this works out great for us.
Best part? The price point is pretty reasonable. Not too expensive but not suspiciously cheap either, you know what I mean?
But remember though, every pup’s different. What’s working for Toby might not sit well with other dogs so always worth trying out a smaller bag before deep-diving into a massive stock.
Hope this helps anyone still on the fence about 4health. Happy munching to your fur babies!
07/07/2024 at 5:10 PM in reply to: “Black Gold Dog Food Review: A Dog Owner’s Honest Opinion!” #2431snuggly_retriever_1349
MemberBut just as important, his vet visits have been smooth with no digestion or weight issues. That said, every dog is different. Charlie always had a pretty sturdy stomach.
I say give it a try if you’re thinking about it but also consider other brands and recipes that might suit your pooch better. Heck, switching dog food is almost as hard as changing ours right? Good luck
snuggly_retriever_1349
MemberBest part is the ingredients list – it’s packed with wholesome stuff like high-quality proteins and probiotics, not just filler grains. Snowball’s tummy definitely appreciated the change! Oh, and their home delivery service is pretty awesome too. It’s like Doggy Christmas every time a package arrives at our doorstep!
But remember all pups are different – what works for my fluffy guy might not be ideal for others. So always keep an eye on your furkid after changing its diet and make sure to consult with your vet if you’re unsure about anything.
Here’s to happy, healthy doggos! 🐾🍖🥰
