Best Dry Dog Food
-
Expensive but worth it
I have a dog with cancer so she needs high protein low grain food. I do half kibble and half fresh raw. Works for her
-
Dogs really like it
Seems like very good quality feed. Also even though more expensive you actually feed the dog less - the food is more calorie dense. Thus the price issue goes away because the food lasts longer.
-
Tasty
Must be tasty as my dog enjoys it. Switched to Orijen to see if it helps with his itchy skin. Too early to tell...

Merrick Beef Stew & Chicken Pot Pie Wet Dog Food
Both dogs love this. It got it mainly for Oliver and I only feed it to them once in a while for a treat with their dry food since it is more expensive than others they eat.
-
My dog loves it
My dog is very picky, which this purchase I can alternate the chicken and beef flavors. So far, he is happily eating them.
-
Merrick dry dog food
My dog Oliver is loving this new food. It’s been easy integrating with his current food to transition to this food exclusively because he’s such a picky eater.

Great Quality Food at a Reasonable Price
We have been buying Taste of the Wild for years. This is the highest quality food at the most reasonable price,

Pup loves it
My 8 month old Labradoodle loves eating this food . I switched him from Lifes Abundance puppy food for the simple fact that the biggiest bag was 17lbs and I found myself always ordering food from its only retailer in Fla. Taste of the wild seems to be a good quality food and shipping from Chewy is easy. Dog had no stomach issues switching over vet said he's healthy and doing well. Will keep him on this brand and food for some time to come
-
Healthy
It’s hard to find a god dry food for dogs that is actually good for them. I love this brand and my puppy love it’s too.
Best Dog Food For Sensitive Stomachs
-
My picky dog loves this
I've been using this food for a little over a month now and have noticed significant changes in my dog. She's a picky eater, usually would not finish her food in one sitting or would need a topper. With this food, she chows down. Topper or not. She loves it so much, she even tries to get "extra" from my other dog's food bowl and she's never tried that before. Both of my dog's coats look and feel much healthier too. 100% recommend this food for your pups.
-
Great for sensitive tummies
My dog had giardia as a puppy, as well as a number of other stomach and GI issues. Our vet recommended this food, and it has saved our sanity. Our dog is almost 2 and hardly has bad stool, and this formula helped him through all of the rough stomach and health issues we have had. Will always recommend to other sensitive tummy dog parents
-
Order complete and delivered as scheduled.
On the other hand, I continue to receive special advertisements along with a discount code. I have NEVER been able to use the code. It has always been rejected. I now just toss them in the trash.
Best Raw Dog Food

Lola has 2 a day and loves them. We add veggies to her diet.
She doesn't ever seem to get tired of this - wakes me up every morning at 5 to get her first patty. It used to be 6 am but she can't seem to get used to the new time!
-
Stella & Chewy's Chicken Dinner Patties
Of all the Stella & Chewy products I have bought this puppy, this is her favorite. Sometimes I break it in half, and other times I just give her the whole piece. She runs away to eat it.
-
A great part of healthy meal.
My dog loves these! They are easy to prepare with some fresh veggies on the side, like broccoli or sweet potatoes.
Best Dog Food for Senior Dogs
-
Easy to order. Dog loves the food!
Very easy to order. Our dog loves the food! Good for his digestive system. We mix it in in his regular food.
Best Dog Food for Small Dogs
-
Good price and he likes the small bites
Normally he needs some meat on his dry food before he will eat it, but not with the small bites
-
delivered as promised from order several. months back
We need to cut the frequency back as we need half as much Hill's Science diet. We need to go add another month between deliveries.
-
Great deal
Got this through Chewy’s deal online and when I’m feeding free dogs, I need a break here and there so thank you
Best Dog Food for Large Dog Breeds
-
Yummy stuff!
Diesel weights in excited anticipation for every cup of his American Journey! However, It’s a good thing it comes in a waterproof bag because FedEx doesn’t bother to put it in a bag during a rain storm and the box was soggy and falling apart.
-
The best kibble on the market
We have a 1 year old GSP and this is the only food she will eat. We have purchased 4 other big name expensive food. This is it the go to food!
-
Working with sensitive stomach
Our GSD, as with most GSD's, has gastrointestinal issues. She's getting along with this food well. I slowly changed her from the previous brand to this and she's doing great.

My dogs LOVE Honest Kitchen!
I have fed Honest Kitchen for over 20 years! My Rottweilers and my Frenchies! I have shown dogs for 40 years and I am a stickler on coat and condition and proper nutrition for my dogs. Honest kitchen fits the bill!! .

Works wonders!
I have a 15 year old Sheltie and a 7 year old Chihuahua. This food has worked wonders for both of them! Because the older Sheltie started having trouble eating dried food I switched them from Blue Buffalo dry food to Fresh Pet. Fresh Pet was quite expensive and inconvenient due to having to keep refrigerated and short expiration dates. Sheltie has always had issues with anxiety and occasional stomach upset. For the last year she was having undesirable stool texture. Because of her age, she also has arthritis and mobility issues. Because of all of this, I tried all sorts of expensive medications to keep her comfortable. After having...
Best Organic Dog Food

Dogs love it
Our dogs love this food. We mix it with the Organix chicken and oatmeal. The dogs always eat, and they digest this very well. Highly recommended.
-
Great
I have a very picky eater. She loves this food. My only wish is that it was a little softer. Good ingredients
-
Very impressed
I am very impressed by this dog food. It is both organic and non gmo which is high on my priority for food for my 2 Boston Terriers. And both eat it heartedly. Please keep making this Organix!

The ease of shopping and availability of the priduct

-
Dogs love it
It's Pedigree, of course they like it. The best thing is the customer service from Chewy.. I'll forever be a loyal customer. They've been so kind
-
Pedigree Dry Dog Food
I have always been happy with Pedigree dry dog food. In the past I have ordered both the chicken and the beef and have never been disapointed with the product.
Best Limited Ingredient Dog Food
-
No Feathers
My puppy and senior Australian Shepherds developed sensitivity to chicken and turkey, thus they needed a "no feathers" diet. (Avoid anything that has feather.) I found it is extremely hard to find a senior or a puppy food that does not contain some part of a chicken or other fowl. I've had the two dogs on Nutro Limited Ingredient Diet Sensitive Support with Real Salmon & Lentils Grain-Free Adult Dry Dog Food for about 3 months now without any negative reactions. The pup is now 14 months old and the senior 14 yrs.
-
Great food
This was out of stock for over a year and my dogs definitely missed it. I’m glad it’s back and hope they will make other clean limited ingredient foods
-
Nutro limited ingredient grain free dog food
My dog has allergies mainly to beef, poultry and grains, so this food is perfect for him and he really likes it. Sometimes I put a little canned salmon or tuna for variety.
Best High Protein Dog Food
-
Great food
We have used this from day one with our 7 year old mini Aussie. It was recommended to us through the chewy chat.
-
Buster's fave!
My Buster is 13. He has arthritis, and other aging issues. He has returned to being the happiest dog on the planet after switching to this grain-free food. He is active again. Runs around like he's a young pup again. His joints are so happy.
-
Max continues to enjoy this food!
The quality of the ingredients gives me peace of mind, knowing that Max is getting the nutrition he needs. The blend of real meat and vegetables is grain-free, which he enjoys. Plus, I appreciate that there are no artificial additives or fillers. It’s a relief to find a dog food that satisfies his appetite and supports his overall health. Since switching to this brand, I’ve noticed he has more energy and a shinier coat. I’ll keep buying it!
Best Fresh Dog Food
-
Dog loves it and he is picky
We tried several different canned food brands and he was not excited about any of them. But this brand he is waiting for it and excited and leaves nothing in his bowl. Toby is a rescue from an overcrowded shelter. We love him soooo much. Adopt don’t shop
