  • Chris76

    My dog loves the taste and the reviews I read online were about average, plus no known recalls! However, I would not give this to my dog solely, as I prefer a higher grade, quality dog food. Therefore, I mix it with Orijen Regional Red. He loves it blended together.

  • Lillian Damato Miles

    Ok so, listen up, I’ve spent tons of money on the so called the best dog food out there, even Dr. Marty’s! My mixed terrier had this belly rash for several months, thinking it’s her dog food at time, so I gave into the expensive ones, didn’t clear up her belly rash by no means. Bought Purina One because I’ve always bought this brand years ago and never had issues with any of my previous dogs! She’s been on it now for a few months, rash disappeared, even her paw chewing has stopped. I’m sticking to Purina One from now On! Love you Purina don’t fix something that’s not broken!

    I bought a bag for my dogs. 2 out of 4 of my dogs began vomiting and got weak. They lost weight over night and threw up the whole day and part of today. I don’t know if it was a bad batch or what but I won’t ever feed this to my dogs again.
