I have a couple of large dogs that I fed Dog Chow from puppyhood. This food was recommended by veterinarians who knew that in addition to my own two, I also have a lot of homeless animals in foster care. Therefore, Dog Chow was an excellent solution for us, in terms of price and quality! All my puppies eat with pleasure, no allergies or digestive problems. A large bag of 14 kg costs about 2800 rubles, but it lasts for a month and a half! It is more convenient, faster and more balanced than “natural”, so we made our choice and did not regret it! And my dogs are a Labrador and a stray, both of them eat with pleasure and never turn their noses.

Negative reviews

We switched the dog to this food. After a week, they began to notice that the hair began to fall out. Bald spots appeared. One “beautiful” day we went to the site. We never got there. She fell. She dragged him to the apartment in her arms and called the veterinarian. He gave me an injection and told me to change the food. I do not recommend this dog food. If you have an allergic dog, it will 100% cause allergies and kill the liver.

We had an unexpected situation. I found myself with a dog in an urban village. Our car broke down and we were stuck there for 3 days. The food naturally ran out. I found one store where the options are either Pedigree or Dog Chow. I have a dog with hypersensitive digestion, and I didn’t have the opportunity to cook anything. My dog ​​refused this food. The smell is not pleasant. In the composition, cereals come first, then meat and offal (meat 14%) and processed products. By-products are not listed. In simple words, bread with additives. The daily norm for a small dog is 110-120 grams. The granules are very large, not at all for small breeds. In general, the usual economy class food.
