Lentil Free!

It’s so important to our breeding program that we choose foods that don’t contain lentils but DO contain grains. That’s difficult to find with most of todays offerings. This food is easy for our crew to digest and produces minimal waste. It’s a quality affordable option for our program.

Stella's Essentials Cage-Free Chicken and Ancient Grains Dog Food

a year ago

Our dog is a very picky eater. We have gone through so many brands of food and nothing ever stuck with her. We decided to try this kind of food because it was on sale. Scout (our dog) absolutely loves it! All her life we only fed her once a day in the morning and since starting this food, she begs for a night feeding! We noticed she also has lots of energy for a thirteen year old dog and is very healthy. Now we will buy it whether on sale or not!

Best I have found.

3 years ago

I bought the Cage-free Chicken &Ancient Grains for my wry picky Yorkie named Rosie. Rosie smells first then decides if it is suitable for her. She did a very quick smell and devoured her portion. This is HIGHLY unusual for Rosie as she does not like change. I couldn't be happier with all the products so far. I'm especially thrilled that the fillers are healthy grains. Thank you.

ITCHIES!

6 months ago

I purchased the biggest bag, since the red bags are popular with my crew. Every time, one dog itches like crazy with this particular product! I tested him twice, each episode lasts 4-5 days. The other two dogs are okay, but I can't figure out exactly what could be giving him the itchies. Hopefully you can zero in on what is highly allergic in this particular product. Thank you!

Tolerable!

a year ago

After adopting my 1.5 year old pit mix, I bought this dry food because it had similar ingredients to the food he ate at the shelter. Most days, he tolerates this dry food well and will eat it without any hesitation. But not all days, so I'm considering an alternative that incorporates less grains.
