Pore dog foodMar 12, 2012
By sao
I got a 8 month old weimaraner puppy who was getting puppy chow when I got him. He was a little underweight but I got him puppy chow because that is all he had since he started eating hard foods. I bought a big bag and then found out how bad it was. I was giving him what the bag recommended for his size and breed and he acted like he was starving all the time. Then I took him to the vet and found out he was losing weight. I ended up having to give him extra food. Now I am mixing in soft food so he gets extra stuff missing from Puppy chow. Once this bag is gone I am going to be switching his food. After getting soft food for two weeks he looks so much better. His coat is beautiful and he has more energy.
 McDonald's for Dogs-- Worst Dog Food EverJan 01, 2012
By Jane Tompkins
When I read that this was the fast food McDonald's of dog food, I brushed it off as an over exaggeration. I even saw a whole page, maybe a yahoo answers where a woman said she was giving puppy chow to her dog, and EVERYONE like 12 people WENT IN, and told her it was the worst food any dog could have and to change as soon as possible.... long story short, they were 100% right.
I got a new toy poodle puppy and started him off on this b/c I thought it was what he had been getting before. I promise you within 24-48 hours of him eating this stuff his coat quickly started deteriorating and dulling out, it looked sparser thinner and he looked kinda crazy actually, lol, and his eliminations/poo was dark black and hard as a rock. I could literally see a change in the health look of my dog. After a few days, I ended up buying some Pedigree for puppies (which most closely looked like the sample food he was sent with) and within 24-36 hours he started looking healthier, his coat was whiter, his eliminations/poo looked a lot healthier-- a brownish color and softer.
Puppy Chow is GARBAGE (especially for breed that have long coats of hair). Pedigree is in the exact same price point, but SO much better for your puppy. Until I find my little boy the perfect higher end food to eat he'll get Pedigree Puppy Complete.
Do not ever buy your puppy Purina Puppy Chow. It's the food for puppy millers and strays... just really really really really bad stuff.
 Not badNov 20, 2004
By M. R. A Bohm
My dog either loves this food, or hates it - it depends on the batch. Some of them she won't touch, and others she wolfs down before I can blink an eye. I always buy this food in bulk as it saves heaps of money - and 90% of the time it's good value for money (until you get a bad batch, and have to buy another bag because your dog won't eat it). Overall, 4 star rating.

Awful foodAug 02, 2010
By H. Poirier
I have never tried this product nor will i ever but for those who are looking to purchase or who do, this dog food (i call it food loosely) is a crime to your dogs. its gross. filled with corn fillers and by-products and a whole lot of other nasty things.Do research on your dog food dont go by what comercials tell you, no one said they told the true.in fact most dog foods you see on television are awful.If you love your dog feed as it should be fed. educate yourself. would you feed your children a life diet of junk food full of atificial flavor,colors, and fullers? I'd hope not but thats what this food is. remember you get what you pay for, and paying so little for that amount doesn't make you wonder? Would you buy a $2 stake? no, you'd wonder why it was so cheap... because it crap! Good food requires dogs to eat less because their getting more nutrients from a smaller amount, so their eat less,poop less, and shed less. their skin and coat recieve more nutrients,they have firmer stool, and their overall body is being takin care of. Some better dog foods off of hand:Blue Buffalo,Orijen,Wellness,Nutro,Natural balance,Castor and pollux. these are just a couple of foods of the top of my head that are holistic and natural, but its important to research and shop around and find whats good for your dog. Hope it helps.
