Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul Dry Dog Food for Adult Dog, 35 Pound Bag

I spent a great deal of time researching premium dog foods on the internet and at my local Natural Pet Foods store when I finally came to realize what a subpar product that Science Diet has been producing and calling themsleves a "premium" product. Once I learned what constitutes a quality kibble, i.e. meat and meat based products, no corn fillers, chelated minerals, all natural products - I could go on and on. Based on the quality of ingredients, the high ratings given by a number of respected dog food reviews and forums, and its price point, I decided to give Chicken Soup For The Dog Lover's Soul a try. I did a slow changeover with my 7 year old chocolate lab in order to use up the balance of the old food. After now several months on the new Chicken Soup food, I feel comfortable in stating that this is probably the best dog food kibble you can buy for the money. My lab loves it - her poops are firm and effortless - her coat has a sheen and luster that we never saw with the...Read more

We all know we can't afford Innova or Orijen, which is one of the best foods you can possibly feed your dog. A lot of people buy Iams, myself included, for our dogs. Then there are the people who continue to buy Beneful and Old Roy and Pedigree and don't realize that you are basically buying corn, which your dog cannot digest and will essentially poop out! So you are just throwing your money into fertilizing your yard! LOL Dogfoodanalysis.com has a great rating system and reviews all dog foods and rates them with stars. 6 being the highest. To put this into perspective, Iams is a 1 star dog food, based off of its ingredients. This food, Chicken soup for the Soul is a 4 star food. Blue Buffalo is also a 4 star food, but costs twice as much! Iams sells at Walmart for $17.88 for an 18 pound bag so .99 a pound. I would typically feed my dog 2 1/2 cups of Iams. This food, as of the time of this review is $39.99 for 35 pounds,so $1.14 a pound. And I would only give my dog 2 cups. Think...Read more

I started buying this brand of food when my dog had a litter of puppies (I bought the puppy-lover's bag). I loved that it has wholesome ingredients, and that "meat" is the first ingredient on the list. Look through the bags of dog foods at your grocer and you'll see that meat isn't first or second, and then when you find it you'll find it only contains "meat by-products." My pets have had a healthy coat & firm stools eating this brand of dog food, and you can't beat the price. The added chelated minerals and natural preservatives create a holistic pet food. I will continue to feed this to my dogs and recommend it to my friends as well.
