ULTIMATE PET NUTRITION Nutra Complete Freeze Dried Raw Dog Food, Veterinarian Formulated with Antioxidants, Prebiotics & Amino Acids (1 Pound, Chicken)

Premium Pork Dog Food
I have a three year old lab mix, and a seven month old Rottweiler. Their coats are thick and beautiful, and they have lots of energy. Ultimate Pet Nutrition is outstanding for their health and well being. No, it’s not cheap, but I want my dogs to have the longest, healthiest lives I can possibly give them. When it comes to nutrition, the old adage applies: ‘Pay now, or pay (a lot) later’. Veterinary bills can be very expensive, and if I feed my dogs commercial dog food, they are much more prone to sickness and allergy conditions, so I choose to feed them only top quality food.

This is a good and healthy product
Our German Shepherd is very particular about what she eats. I bought this product, and she ate the entire bowl. She sees me pull out the bag of food and prepare it and she’s right next to me waiting for her meal. Her dog dish hits the floor and she’s all over it. I’ll keep buying this product as long as it makes my dog happy!

Finally!! Five years to find a dog food he’ll eat!
I’ve tried expensive shipped “real food, basted and baked, several “healthier” (meaning very expensive!) dog food brands, even made my own dog food, but my dog only eats to live.Some days he will flat out refuse to eat. He’s only 8 pounds and he’s super active. (I’ve had to learn to throw with my left arm because this dog does lives to catch a ball and my right arm wears out before he ever does!) Which means he burns calories like crazy. I’ve had to keep him on puppy food for extra calories!Nutra Complete Freeze Dried Raw Food was my last stand, I hated the idea of spending this much money on one pound net weight…but! He loves this. I’m floored.These light brown nuggets are a little smaller than a cube of cheese, some will crush with pressure, but seem to take on a more spongy consistency, similar to a packing peanut, after being opened for several days—it’s humid here.Definitely not a hard, brittle, or crunchy texture. So nice because I didn’t recieve a half a bag of crushed pellets and dust in the mail.The only thing my dog will eat and eat, is freeze dried liver. If it was healthy enough for him to live on alone, that would be great, but by itself, there isn’t a proper balance of nutrition, so no go. But when he won’t eat for 2 days straight, walking over to his bowl, sniffing and walking away, there were times I considered giving him a bowl of freeze dried liver just for calorie’s sake!!Never seen anything like it! This dog just doesn’t like to eat food with the exception of pepperoni and croissants. And like that is anything on the healthy side. Even I don’t eat that but every few months or so.I’ve made him ground beef, ground chicken, ground turkey/-with rice and organic vegetables, and after the first feeding, he won’t eat it unless I sprinkle it with grated cheese, just a pinch and then, nope. He’s killing me Smalls!!He doesn’t like dog food of any kind and only breaks down and eats it when he realizes I’m not going to give in. Until now. And while this is liver too, it contains another organ meat, kelp, and various orange and green vegetables, plus blueberries which I have a hard time getting him to eat —they contain a lot of phytonutrients and anti oxidants. I also like the addition of cranberries because of the d-mannose.He’d eat a whole bowl of Nutra Complete dry if I’d let him, but I like the idea of hydrating it because I put extra water in the bowl. After he eats the food, he drinks all the water, which is great because this dog is half horse. (Or camel!) I worry about him eating and drinking. Especially after we’ve played outside in the Florida heat! And yes, I’ve literally walked the water bowl over to him in his chair just so he’ll drink. My grandkids cause me less worry!! And yes, sadly, I am well trained. 😩Unless I find legitimate information contradicting the health benefits of this particular brand, I’ll be budgeting for this regularly. We’ll see how long a 1# bag lasts…probably won’t be any more expensive than bag after bag of food he refuses to eat.I keep some in his treat jar and he eats them with gusto.Omgoodness! He heard me handling the bag when I made sure my info was right and he came running in from outside—how can you resist that face, dirty as it is?! When he’s on his back legs like that, he’s waving his paws up and down begging. Little runt! Stuck his head right in the bag when I wanted to take a picture of the nuggets! Too funny!Yep, it’s a keeper. So easy, I dump it into Luke warm water, let it sit, then he comes right over and eats it, all the left over water too.(And his poop didn’t go ballistic changing over either, not surprising since he has never had the same dog food for any extended period of time.)So this poor, old, lady is more than happy to pay for quality nutrition that isn’t going to cause joint pain and inflammation, contain known carcinogens or dyes, and that my dog will actually eat! This stuff is going to pay for itself in restoring my mental health—who would have ever thunk it? A dog that doesn’t like to eat?! Cute little bugger breaking all kinds of norms! Ha ha! That’s my fur baby!

Quality seems to vary
My very small senior dog (5 pound Chihuahua mix) is very picky about food. I constantly am on the hunt for something she will eat for more than a couple of weeks. I found this food on Amazon this week and ordered the 5-ounce package of chicken flavor. She absolutely loved it. In fact I don’t know how I could keep her to the three-quarter cup per day that she’s supposed to eat. But being very small with a very small mouth, jaw and teeth she had trouble chewing the cubes as they come even though they’re spongy. So I cut them in half, which wasn’t a big deal to do, and she was fine. She gobbled them down. Since she seems to like it so much, I ordered the 1-pound bag which arrived today. I didn’t want to jump right to the 3-pound because who knows, she could change her mind in a few days and not like it anymore and it’s VERY expensive. The 1-pound bag arrived today and I poured some of it out so I could cut the cubes in half and found the quality varies widely. Many or most of the cubes in the 1 pound bag are smaller and darker in color and harder than the fluffy ones in the 5-ounce bag and they’re hard to cut in half because they shatter into crumbs. Apparently they’re over dried. So right now I’m kind of on the fence whether I’m going to continue buying this product. I’ll go through the 1-pound bag and see if the whole bag is like that in which case I will not buy it anymore. Maybe just some of the ones that happened to be on the top of the bag that I started today are over dried ? Anyway, I’ll update this when I have a little more experience with the product.
