Nature's Recipe Grain Free Dry Dog Food, Salmon, Sweet Potato & Pumpkin Recipe, 12 lb. Bag

This is quality dog food for my picky eaters. The appearance looks fresh, smells good, and my vet told me it’s great for my dogs health.

The goal is to go grain-free. Dogs don't need grains, they need meat. So, when I found Nature's Recipe the ingredients made sense and figured it's worth a try. And we're on a budget, so I have to be choosy when it comes to spending. We mixed this with their previous kibble for 2 weeks and gradually got to only Nature's Recipe. The dogs have adjusted very well. No upset stomachs to speak of, actually only less bloating. They seem to like the flavor more than the previous kibble. And I think they eat less in volume compared to the grain dog food from before. I'll be buying another bag and might subscribe once we've figured out the proper timing.

This food has been a miracle for our pup who has a sensitive stomach. The quality of ingredients keeps us buying it for our dog. Real salmon is the number one ingredient, providing an excellent source of protein. It is great to know the recipe is grain-free and contains no artificial flavors, preservatives, corn, wheat, or soy. The added sweet potatoes and pumpkin has worked wonders for digestion. It is worth every penny for the improved health and happiness of our fur baby. Highly recommended for any dog owner seeking a high-quality, easily digestible food!

Perfect Balance for Sensitive Stomachs I’ve tried many different kibbles over the years for my dog, and this one has quickly become a favorite. The ingredient list is straightforward—chicken, sweet potato, and pumpkin—and you can tell it’s made to be gentle on digestion. My dog, who can sometimes have a finicky stomach, has had zero issues since starting on this food. In fact, his energy is steady, his coat looks shinier, and his stools are firm and consistent (always a sign of good nutrition in my book). The kibble size is small enough for medium dogs but not so tiny that it feels like filler. The bag reseals well enough to keep things fresh, though I usually transfer to a storage bin anyway. The aroma is mild and not overly “dog food” smelly, which I appreciate in the house. Something to keep in mind: while this is labeled grain-free (which works for my dog), it might not be necessary or ideal for every pup—so always check with your vet if you’re making a big switch. Also, the 12 lb bag goes quicker than you’d think if you have a larger dog, so I’d recommend keeping an eye out for the bigger size if available. Bottom line: A high-quality, grain-free option that keeps my dog healthy, happy, and eager for mealtime.

Choosing the right food for your dog, especially a picky small breed, can be incredibly challenging *and* expensive! I understand the struggle of wanting to provide quality food without breaking the bank, and I've tried countless brands, even making homemade meals, to satisfy my Pomeranian Chihuahua. She consistently preferred the cat's food, which was incredibly frustrating. That's why I was so thrilled to discover Nature's Recipe Grain Free Small Breed Chicken, Sweet Potato, and Pumpkin dog food. Honestly, I had nearly given up! Chicken is the first ingredient, providing essential protein. Sweet potatoes and pumpkin offer excellent fiber for healthy digestion. This is crucial for a dog's overall health...after all, there's a reason for different ingredients in cat kibble and dog kibble! The grain-free formula is perfect for dogs with sensitivities, and it's been gentle on my dog's stomach. The small kibbles are ideal for tiny mouths...and she really is so very tiny. She weighs all of 3 pounds soaking wet, and I'm always amazed at her little mouth. I love to watch her when she barks because her little snout looks like it's ready to drink from a drinking straw – so small pieces are so important. She has no trouble eating these bits. They really make it easy for her to chew and swallow. I appreciate that there are no artificial colors or flavors. Maybe it's a small thing, but she is such an unexpected and delightful part of my life. For someone who never thought I would ever be a dog person, she has really become a part of my soul, and I would do anything I possibly can for her. This is such a simple thing to do, and I'm not sure why all dog food isn't made without artificial flavors and colors. It gives me peace of mind knowing I'm feeding her a wholesome diet. Pickiest Eater Approved! This is the most important thing. I was able to mix this food with my cat's kibble, and my dog ate it! Over time, I was able to reduce the amount of cat food in the mixture, and now she is eating almost entirely this dog food! She is healthier, more energetic, and her breath is so much better. Additionally, it's only slightly more expensive than some other brands. Not *really* expensive like a lot of the designer brands that seem to be so popular right now, but slightly more expensive. It's a little stretch for my tight budget, but not ridiculously so. The quality and the fact that it finally got my picky dog to eat dog food makes it worth every penny. I am saving money on other brands that she would not eat. * **Finding It:** Availability can be an issue in some stores, but thankfully, it's easily accessible online. **Overall Rating: 4.7/5** Nature's Recipe Grain Free Small Breed Chicken, Sweet Potato, and Pumpkin dog food has exceeded my expectations. It's not just a good food; it's a solution for picky eaters like my dog. The quality ingredients, small kibble size, and positive impact on my dog's health make it a must-try for small breed owners. The fact that it finally convinced my dog to eat dog food is nothing short of a miracle!
