We are happy using this food for our greyhound
February 8, 2016
We are happy using this food for our greyhound. He has solid poops. It has been difficult to find food which agrees with him. We happened to get three versions of this food, so I took a picture which compares sizes. The large breed is disc shaped while the regular adult and little bytes are ball shaped.

Our Dane doesn’t like it like she used to. New batch possibly? New glossy bag??
February 28, 2018
Been feeding our “puppy” Great Dane the adult lamb and rice for nearly 7 months and she’s LOVED every bite of it! Then it was the non-glossy bag that we were receiving. A couple months back we thought we’d try the chicken and brown rice since she’s going through 2 bags a month, it was save us a chunk of money. Well she didn’t like it nearly as much as the lamb so after one bag of chicken we ordered lamb again and eased her back into it. Well this new bag of lamb had a glossy finish to the bag where the old one was definitely not, it was more of a brown paper bag like material. We’re not sure if the pellets are different shaped either but these are more flat and round like the size of nickels maybe. Seemed like the old bad of lamb had a more overall round shape to the pellets. I checked the date on the bag and it’s definitely good for another year almost. It seems like people had a lot of issues back in may of 2017. But now our Dane is not nearly as interested in her food and will hardly eat half of what she used to eat in a day. Has even puked a couple times recently. We’ve loved using Nutro in the past but since we switched to chicken then back to Lamb, we’re having problems. The new glossy bag has us wondering if something was switched or maybe we got a bad batch. We have a new shipment coming next week so I’ll update this review if things get better, worse, or the same. Hope this helps anyone else in the same shoes. And for the record we’ve been using adult large breed lamb and rice.

Kodiak takes Cosequin DS (3) and (2) Tumeric per day. He's about 100 lbs. He also eats Nutro Limited Ingredient Lamb and Rice.
Not exactly sure how old he is but he plays with puppies and younger dogs. Bounds up and down the stairs. Shiny coat. No tummy upset.

I just adopted a Weimaraner (Porter)whose previous owner had been feeding this food. He has a sensitive stomach and, I've discovered that ,if he sneaks any of the canned food that my other dogs eat, or table scraps, he tends to throw up. I subscribe to an independent pet food site that rates dog food and sends notices when a particular food is recalled. They gave this food very high ratings. Porter's coat is silky smooth( unlike the coat of our other Weim, which is coarser.) I don't ,honestly, if the difference is because of the different foods they eat but Porter loves it and is beautiful and energetic. The food is not cheap but IMO, it's well worth the price! (Now, if he'd just eat the Nutro dog food and stop trying to eat my sofa and bed pillows! 😁)

This is the ONLY dog food my Golden Retriever can digest without issues and has a gorgeous coat. We've tried just about every other brand as well as several different Nutro products. We are very happy with the product but I can't give it five stars because the price has consistently increased over the past several months and for one who LOVES their dog and is on a pension, increasing pet expenses is a real issue and signing up for the dog food "subscription" is not an option because my dog doesn't consume an entire bag per month.

We switched to Nutro a couple months ago starting with the Salmon and Chicken. Our dog gets bored with the same flavor all the time so I try to keep the same brand if possible but switch up the types a bit. For some reason the Lamb massively disagreed with her (4yo yellow lab). She started throwing up thick yellow bile within a day or 2 of starting the lamb food. I don't think theres anything wrong with the food, we switched her back to chicken and everything cleared right up. I'm guessing she's allergic or sensitive to something in the food. We personally wont by the Lamb again but Nutro as a brand we like and will continue to use.

Moved to the new formula, adjusted slowly and as many others have stated, my dog does not digest it as well. His stool is extremely soft and he really does not like it as much. By chance I found a bag of the old formula and I switched back immediately, which should cause problems, but it did not and my dog's BM was firm immediately. Now that bag has run out (old brown colored bag). So I contacted Nutro, who told me it was probably because of the sweet potato which was not in the first bag. I asked if they had plans to return to the old formula and they said they did not. Now, I have to look for an alternative to Nutro. Any ideas?

Love this food for my dog and receive it monthly; however, this month the bag was ripped inside delivery box and quite a bit of food ended up all over inside box...hope this doesn't take away from the freshness of the food as I don't know how long it had been opened. Will continue to order but wanted to make this review.

We have a 90lb large breed hound mix who has been eating neutro almost his entire life. The product is always consistent, his coat is shiny and healthy, he doesn’t have any problems with skin sensitivity and has great energy! He eats about 3.5-4 cups per day, has maintained a healthy weight and the bag lasts us a little over a month. We have this on subscription and it’s so convienient to have the dog food show up at the door every month!
