My dog is such a picky eater but LOVES the meals here. The staff have REALLY helped me figure out what's best for her, they took the time and patience to answer all my questions and go through her past food habits to see what she would love the most. The beef and potato meal is her fave. Also The place itself is also so nice and clean my dog is clearly spoiled.

I finally took the plunge after the vet told me (AGAIN) that Marvin needed to lose weight. These folks aren't kidding about the two weeks to change your dog's life. Marvin has already lost some of the weight he needs to lose AND, he really does seem more energetic and happier. I'm happy that I gave them a try and even happier that I feel like I made a positive change in Marvin's life!

I rarely write reviews but I just had to for this food. Our 14-year old, 14 lb (a little overweight) dog was healthy, and we had been giving him Orijen kibble (high end kibble) for most of his life. But every time we had his bloodwork panel done at the vet, his liver ALT levels were slightly raised. Normal ALT liver values are between 12- 118, and his was always 226.Every time. The vet said it wasn't high enough to worry about, but since he's getting older we decided to switch to JFFD. After four months on this food, his liver ALT VALUES WENT FROM 226 TO 86! Our vet was amazed. His eyes no longer weep, the fur on his arms and legs, which had gotten sparse in old age, suddenly started growing long and shiny, and he no longer chews his paws. He went from14 lbs down to 12.5 lbs, which is the perfect weight for him. His energy is through the roof...at 14 years old! I've always liked the idea of fresh food vs kibble, but honestly, I never expected it to have such a huge impact on his overall health. The food itself looks delicious, and even the fish recipe (which we use), doesn't even smell that fishy (or really at all). Wow. Amazing. Try this if you can.

BEHIND OUR RATINGS

Dog Food Ranking Methodology

We take a comprehensive, unbiased approach in everything we do. Here’s a look at how we approach our reviews and rankings:

research icon

First, We Research

First, We Research

Before we even begin reviewing dog food brands, we look at what the science says. We review studies and consult with top veterinarian-nutritionists to find out what’s best for every type of dog. We also identify what dogs with various health conditions and dietary restrictions need most.

Then, We Assess

Then, We Assess

Once we’ve established what different dogs need from their food, we use that information to guide our evaluation of individual brands and product lines. We look at every aspect—from the menu, nutrition and portions to the pricing, promotions and fine print, saving you time and energy.

Next, We Test

Next, We Test

We wouldn’t be in this business if we weren’t loving pet owners ourselves. We want the best for our pups just as much as you do for yours. That’s why we let our dogs do the barking—we let them try the food we review to determine how they like the taste and if the portions are sized correctly.

Finally, We Read Up

Finally, We Read Up

We pore through hundreds of consumer reviews on every dog food brand and plan we evaluate to determine what real customers have to say. We identify common themes—both positive and negative, which may be of interest to dog owners shopping for the best food for their pup.
