I do not know who posted the wrong info but I believe Rachel&#39;s people.<br />My dog&#39;s coat looks shiny, she does not scratch, and still likes the food.Diannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06660719092102484721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-78772112743129044772011-02-28T20:27:54.188-05:002011-02-28T20:27:54.188-05:00i think nutrish is bad for my dogs . i have 8 dogs.i dont like the 4d stuff and my dogs scratch all the time.so bad it wakes me up in the night.i thought rachael would look after our dogs but i can see she is just like the rest.when i see isiboo i thought she would take care of our dogs.i am glad i read the reviews.shame on you rachel..take pride run your company like your house holdRockyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16144474703375967460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-37353538909841103232011-01-05T23:40:32.110-05:002011-01-05T23:40:32.110-05:00I have been feeding my lab mix Nutrish for the past year. She chewed her feet constantly before and someone suggested I try a new food. Since she has been eating Nutrish, she has had no probelms with allergies at all. We have bought a few different brands throughout the year simply due to the convenience. Every time her allergies started up again. We are back and sticking to it.

I bought Rachael Ray&#39;s food on a whim and they both have gained weight, have firm stool and their coats are have a great shine now. Prior to this switch we had been giving them kirkland brand canned food mixed with rice, steamed veggies and so boiled ground beef. I am happy with the results of the Nutrish food and think I will stick with it for a good long time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-17750950880066510982010-10-18T14:21:39.502-04:002010-10-18T14:21:39.502-04:00My wife and I have 3 retired greyhounds and been using the beef and brown rice for a month now.

It would seem that &quot;natural&quot; and &quot;holistic&quot; are simply marketing tags to get the gullible public to part with more of their dollars for less product. (A 4# bag of Nutro Holistic Dog Food goes for $11+, for example.)<br /><br />Bottom line: There still is no commercially prepared all-natural, healthy dog food. For an idea of proper canine diet, I would recommend reading &quot;Give Your Dog A Bone&quot; by Dr. Ian Billingsley, DVM. It&#39;s a real eye-opener.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-84771727853625487452010-07-02T19:53:39.331-04:002010-07-02T19:53:39.331-04:00I have had puppies that take to RR food better then my high end food. I think its great and would buy it again. The only concern I now have, is where its stated on here that the meat comes from &quot;4D animals&quot; I am surprised nor impressed at that.For the prices the grocery stores sell RR I would expect it to not include 4D animals.I am glad she is producing it for a great cause and compliment her for that but hope in the future she is more picky about the types of meat she uses.Great review and glad to see the truthCarolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-44110014242120859652010-06-23T20:19:41.335-04:002010-06-23T20:19:41.335-04:00This food looks better than most &quot;grocery store&quot; foods. There is a large percentage of dog owners that care a lot about thier dogs but don&#39;t feel that the dog should eat better than the owner. My dog ate up the sample of Nutrish and we are going to try it for him again. Also, according to RR website all of the proceeds from this food go to charity so if Ray is doing it to make money that&#39;s where the money is going. <br /><br />I don&#39;t see anything wrong with Ray producing a dog food that is made to be a superior mass merchandiser quality - there is a niche for it and it does a great job of filling it.Suzannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08800396969313739916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-79499359797427693602010-06-17T02:14:15.088-04:002010-06-17T02:14:15.088-04:00I have a Golden retriever 1 yr. old. I have bought my first bag of Nutrish. My dog ate it with no problem. I have heard that a dog food that is well digested will make a dog have less &quot;Poop&quot; piles in the yard. I have noticed less waste in the yard, perfect form. I plan to cont. to buy for now. Will have to wait and see if any itching or skin problems. I have bought the pure chicken dog foods, it took a while for stools to become formed. Will see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-72520093976468504712010-04-07T10:41:47.885-04:002010-04-07T10:41:47.885-04:00My dog had been having kins trouble and I had put him on Iams and he was doing better-then I saw the Nutrish and it was fairly pricey so I figured it was good too. He liked it but after going through about 40 lbs of it his skin was bad again. This time I switched him to Purina One and I have never seen him have such a glorious coat. He is 5 years old and his coat is softer and shinier than it has EVER been. I highly recommend Purina One.kadacozarhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05014716937839269386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-58573402044797675632010-03-23T02:24:00.563-04:002010-03-23T02:24:00.563-04:00Folks, I don&#39;t know what is in Rachael&#39;s dog food but it is the ONLY dog food I&#39;ve been able to find that my 6 year old mini pinscher will actually eat!!!

This is also an amazing dog food. I am impressed with the quality, and the chicken and veggies one is perfect for my papillion. He is highly allergic to beef, he has convulsions when beef is ingested, and I was happy when I saw no beef whatsoever in the Chicken one.

Not now. They are on Canidae. Given the expense, I was trying to find a quality alternative and assumed that given Rachel's love for dogs she would put her name on a high quality product. I will continue to give up stuff for me to be able to afford high quality food for my dogs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-49850498777485653662009-04-22T02:52:00.000-04:002009-04-22T02:52:00.000-04:00My Sophie will continue to eat Wellness, thank you very much. This review saved us some time, effort and money.<br /><br />I hope this isn't inappropriate. In my Etsy shop I'm donating 100% of the proceeds on certain (clearly marked) listings to the effort to create an off-leash dog park in South Kingstown, RI. It's a wonderful project that's long overdue.

I was excited to hear that RR was making a dog food until I looked at the ingredients. I was very disappointed and very surprised--it is not quality food and I'm surprised she allowed her name on it. It's practically grocery store food. My dog's allergic to corn and no way would I give her this food. I makes me think that RR's doing this just to make more money, as a marketing scheme, and that she wasn't really involved in the production of this line, or if she was, she can't know much about dogs and dog health. Anyhow, I'm sorely disappointed and wouldn't recommend it. I'm surprised the one person here said their dog got healthier on it--maybe b/c it's high in fat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-36001807146228982022009-02-17T15:35:00.000-05:002009-02-17T15:35:00.000-05:00I had my German Shepherd puppy on Wellness food, she had loose stools and was very thin. I tried Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lovers Soul and her situation did not improve- she was underweight and unhealthy-looking. We switched to Rachel Ray, and not only did her loose stools disappear, she gained weight, and when I took her to the vet, his first remark was 'Oh! She looks SO much better!' This food rocks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-56376245656829876262009-01-12T21:33:00.000-05:002009-01-12T21:33:00.000-05:00Thanks for the review!
