Help me sleep thru the night. Not even joking.
May 15, 2018
I switched dogs over to grain free to help control my dog's horrendous gas issues. Super farty in the houzzzzee! We are down to about 1 fart per night now, which leads to a more peaceful sleep for me since I am not waking up in the middle of the night 6 or 7 times to accuse my dogs of trying to gas me.
Kibble is good size, smells fresh and dogs finish the entire portion they are offered.

Just Say NO to Peas!
May 22, 2018
Peas, pea protein, dried plain beet pulp? These are all fillers that provide no nutritional benefit to our mutts. Pea Protein is not considered a beneficial ingredient to be added to dog food. It is a by-product of pea processing and is the pure plant-based protein from Peas. A relatively small amount of Pea Protein can be used to inflate the overall proportion of protein within a dog food formula and is often one of the leading culprits of a technique called ingredient splitting.
Ingredient Splitting – Beware
Ingredient Splitting is a somewhat sinister technique employed many dog food brands including some which are considered high-quality or premium. The idea is as follows. If you split up an ingredient into some sub-ingredients, then those sub-ingredients will appear lower down on the ingredient list.
Consumers have been taught in recent years to pay attention to the top 5 or top 10 ingredients listed on dog food. This technique makes it appear as if less high-quality or nutritious ingredients such as grains, vegetables or plant-byproducts are less abundant. When in reality if all these sub-ingredients were combined they would very likely take a spot near the top of the ingredient list.
The splitting of Pea-Byproducts is one of the most common examples of this technique. Quite often a dog food formula will contain Peas, Pea Protein, and Pea Flour. This technique allows a manufacturer to vastly understate or mislead the consumer on the volume of peas present.

This is a 'no' from me. I gave this food a try because it seemed to have good ingredients at a good price. However, WAG did not really work for us. My dog liked it well enough (he'll devour anything and has to eat from a 'slow bowl'), but his stools became loose and voluminous -- not exactly what one is looking for. After a couple of weeks (I purchased the large bag), I decided to switch back to Solid Gold grain-free and my dog's stools went back to normal within a day.
Edited to add: Amazon contacted me and refunded the full purchase price (unprompted). Great customer service.

Our dogs have been using Noutrish for more than a year and like it but I tried Wag. We cook for the two dogs for their main meal and leave kibble out for other food. They love Wag, They ate it all up and they even seem more lively. They are older dogs (13 & 14) in a breed that lives 14 or 15 years and were slowing down. I would recommend this for anyone with medium or small dogs.

The food seems as good as the Royal Canin we've been giving them. They don't seem to have any issues digesting it, and their poop is no different. We'll stick with it as long as Amazon keeps the price competitive.

My dog is very important to me. Not only is he my best friend but he is also a service dog. When he's not having a good day I'm not going to be having a good day either!
I recently tried "Wag", Beef and Lentil with Wild Boar. I had been pleased with his food but I did want to see what Amazon was doing and I wanted to watch what a higher protein food did for my dog's energy. And it did a LOT! First, my dog is always very laid back and I need him to be this way because of his work for me but I disliked how long days made him seem tired. Well, with just a cup of Wag a day he seemed more energetic and comfortable. He does like some wet food to awaken his palate and he used to attempt to convince me that he needed more of the wet food but now he's very willing to check out his kibble first!
The reason I did not give this product a full 5 starts is, like others also observed, this kibble can be very crumbly. My dog didn't seem to mind and he ate the crumbs but there was another brand I used to use that eventually only came as crumbs. I'm sincerely hoping Amazon will figure out this issue. All our dogs deserve the best!

My dog loves these kibbles more than any others I have purchased in quite a while...that said, big problem! the 2nd bag that i purchased is at least 25% crumbs and dust. The 1st bag was fine. This 2nd bag has to be run thru a colander to remove the dust and cumbs. I give 5 stars to the first bag.

When I opened the bag is was mostly powder. The food was crushed. Returned it

My dog liked it just fine. It came with bugs though. I bought 2 different flavors and put them both in the sealed storage container I have for the dogs food. I open the container and bugs were all over and burrowing through pieces of food.
I would never buy it again. I’ve ordered other brand dog food from Amazon and never had that happen.

My mini poodles love this new food. We discovered they are sensitive to potatoes and sweet potatoes as well as grains. It is hard to find a potato free and grain free dog food that is also free of beef, lamb and other red meat varieties, but includes the fermented pro-biotics. One has been very sensitive to the point of a dull thin coat but now she eats great, her coat is thick and healthy. We picked the puppy recipe because it is chicken based and small kibble while being formulated for puppies AND adults. They can eat Wag's larger kibble recipes, but my sensitive one of the two can't tolerate an all turkey recipe.

Recently it has come to light that an FDA investigation reported a possible link between certain dog diets and the deadly heart disease called dilated cardiomyopathy, also known as DCM. Typical ingredients like kangaroo, duck, buffalo, salmon, lamb, bison, venison, lentils, peas, fava beans, tapioca, barley, or chickpeas as major ingredients. These are ingredients dog owners want to avoid if they're listed in the first five ingredients in a dog food. This dog food (Turkey & Lentil) includes lentils and peas as the third and fourth major ingredients.

Few weeks ago, when I saw that Amazon advertised their own brand of no grain dog food, I decided to give it a try. While my dog seems to like the taste of this dog food, it usually takes some "tricking" like adding some gravy or soup for him to start eating; and my dog usually doesn't need any encouragement to eat, he eats just about everything.
What concerns me the most, is amount of his stool and how loose it is; it's almost like he is getting the runs, but not as watery. I kind of expect some adjustment, when I switch dog food on him, but I was surprise that after 2+ weeks, it's still the same. I still got half bag of this food left, but switched him back to his previous dog food 3 days ago (Call of the Wild Pacific Stream), and his stool is back to normal already. I have no idea what is in this dog food, but I guess I will just have to dump the half bag we got left, since I can't return it for refund.
