He's crazy about these treats. I, however, was not crazy about the shipping charge for putting this tiny bag of treats in a large box. It could easily have come in an envelope with a bit of cardboard around it for protection.

I was very happy to try these new treats as they were made in the US, but my 3 littles dogs, who eat anything especially when poultry is involved, didn't think much of these. These were not excited about the smell (neither was I, it's not appetizing, at all) and finally ate them just because they are protective of their food. Anyway, big deception and I gave the rest of the treats to a shelter.

I have been battling cat vomit for the last couple of years. I have tried many foods (Iams, Newman's Own, HALO Spot, etc.). My cats would either not eat it or would vomit several times a week.

This stuff is amazing. My cats are not only NOT vomiting, but they are eating less, drinking less and are much happier and more energetic.

Before this food, one of my cats had chronic diarrhea. Since they started eating this (3 weeks ago), his stool has firmed up to some extent (not where I'd like it, but better).

I found myself in a long period of unemployment and had to try to reduce expenses. I'd been feeding my cats premium cat foods but decided this was an area I could possibly reduce expenses but still feed a good quality cat food. After doing extensive research online, I decided to give Evolve Maintenance Formula with Chicken Dry Cat Food a try. I've been extremely pleased and the cats took to it immediately. One thing I've noticed after two months of feeding Evolve is that their coats are extremely shiney and soft, something the costlier cat foods had not produced. I haven't noticed the side effects of soft stool that other's have mentioned. I'm pleased with the results and would recommend Evolve based on high quality at a reasonable cost.

My female cat, Mistique, was having problems with blood in her stool. I tried adding canned food to her diet, which helped, but didn't solve the problem completely and was expensive and making her fat to give it to her everyday. I did some research on the internet before giving in and taking her to the vet and found out that this can be caused by harsh grains like corn in the pet food. I switched her and my other cat to this food and the problem went a way. Both of my cats are more energetic now and their fur is super soft. My male cat is more behaved, probably due to having steady protein in his system rather than corn which turns to sugar giving him a sugar hi. Also my cats used to go for the dog's food because it smelled better and we had a hard time keeping them out of it. Now my cats snub the dog food and enjoy only their cat food. I love the price compared to most natural cat foods it's a real good deal.

A note about switching pet food: don't expect your cat to immediately go for the new food without transitioning. You have to slowly introduce the new food mixed with the old. Reduce the amount of old food each week until there is nothing left but the new food.

Update: My cats have been on the new food for 2 months and have stopped having hairballs completely. They continue to have very good health from it.

Update: My cats have been on this food for 8 months now. One of the perks has been needing less cat litter. Because there's less junk in their food there's less waste and less scooping. 1 large box of cat litter now lasts me a month for both cats.

and my stray, Jolson, I took in last November I really wanted foods I could IDENTIFY, know & approve what the ingredients were in. For tinned he liked the Wellness right off the bat!

For dry they are really pricey and I saw this EVOLVE bag at walmart ingredients sounded Good went online looking for reviews & found Cat Food Reviews.com. It sounded pretty good. Yes No food is perfect but overall it seemed a popular choice.

So I went back and picked it up; 15lb for $20 (the other walmart by me it was $24). Mixed it with his Purina for the next 5 days and as I kept increasing it he kept eating less!.........JUST PICKING OUT THE PURINA!!

Gave some to my friend to try with her cat NO GO!

and the neighbors 2 outdoor cats are always over mooching! for the last 8 years~! They were the reason I stocked cat supplies we always had Dogs! Same response 1 -2 bites of the kibble and NO THANKYOU!! and left!

He does like the Premium Edge Healthy Weight I found++

I am very familiar with different types of cat foods and what constitutes quality. I saw this and thought I would give it a try based on the ingredients list vs. the price.

I have two male cats roughly seven years of age. They are both a little portly-one more so over the other.

I am aware that Friskies is basically crack for the kittehs, and other lower brand kitty foods as well compare to a bowl of Doritos. So with that in mind assuming this cat food has lower calories with better ingredients I have given it a go hoping that it will help with their weight and help my wallet compared to the brands sold exclusively at pet stores.

Day one: Both cats wandered over to their food bowls. They both smelled the new food. They both walked away.

Day two: I have seen neither cat eat and they are both crying as if someone has pulled a limb off one of them. Neither wants to eat this food. Both cats will not stop with their incessant crying. Both sit in front of their food bowls that are clearly full and fresh-and untouched. Both cats continue to cry. I wonder how long they plan on striking. I think like humans they will eat no matter what, and maybe this is an adjustment period compared to say a human switching from potato chips to carrots. They will eventually force themselves to eat it. Does it taste and smell that bad? I think they are thinking to themselves, "what is this @#$% in the food bowl?" Must I submit the kittehs to torture like this? I have attempted to add a little water and heat the food with only negative results thinking this may bring out an aroma that was not there previously.

Day Three: The fatter one looks lethargic and just lays there. I have seen neither cat eat. Possibly they have been eating at night, but there has only been significant changes in their water levels as I have been replacing it a lot. The dry food remains untouched. I do believe they are living off water at this point. By the evening hours I give in and feed the kittehs some canned cat food. The canned food is attacked as if it is the only food left on the entire planet.

I feel as though I have wasted my money. I must go back to giving the kittehs the other food, regardless of cost. They simply will not eat-whatever this is. I debated donating the food to an animal shelter, but then at the risk of torturing yet another innocent victim I have decided it belongs in the trash.

I'm a breeder of Champion Bird Dogs. Our Dogs have been winning on national stages in the field and in the ring for over a decade. We have tried almost every form of canine nutrition available. We have done more research than I care to admit, and I have concluded that the Diamond Naturals Brand of Dog (and Cat) Food is the best value in the market today. This company does not sponsor us, or anyone else. They don't have a breeder program or advertise like all the other brands do, they just make great food and keep the cost as low as they can.

I feed almost the entire line of Products offered by this Brand Diamond Naturals Dry Food for Puppy, Large Breed Lamb and Rice Formula, 40 Pound Bag , Diamond Naturals Dry Food for Adult Dogs, Chicken and Rice Formula, 40 Pound Bag and Diamond Naturals Dry Food for Senior Dogs 8+, Chicken and Rice Formula, 35 Pound Bag. This food will keep your Dog fit and trim, healthy and keep their coat looking as it should. I highly recommend it.

If you're reading this, then you obviously care about your Dog. Buy this food, follow the recommended feeding instructions and enjoy your best friend for a long long time. God Bless

We rescued a female boxer who came with severe digestion problems. No matter what she ate loose stools. Not diarrhea, but loose stools. We tried plain boiled chicken, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, you name it all of the all natural, not rich to her system foods. Removing grains. Nothing worked. Took her to the vet periodically as a couple of months went by without improvement. Put her on a medicated food that was SUPER EXPENSIVE. It seemed to work. So I did some research and read more dog food labels than I knew what to do with and compared the HIGH COST vet food label to Diamond Naturals Senior. She is approximately 3 years old and not a senior by any means, but the combination of ingredients and the percentages are a perfect fit for her large breed size and her digestion. Her stool is beautiful and I never thought I'd get so excited to see firm stool. Needless to say, we won't be changing her diet ever. My younger boxer male is on the Diamond Naturals Lamb & Rice and doing very well. Highly recommend the brand for both the quality and the value can't beat it!

Diamond is made by a supplier of numerous brand-name products, so I generally trust their ability to produce quality food for my pets. Yes, there have been recalls in the past of Diamond products sold under other labels, but that's true for many manufacturers, if not all, of food and other products. I'm going to buy one brand or another, so buying Diamond label saves money over another company label, and I'm able to buy this product at local farm and ranch supply stores at about $15-20 less than Amazon's price. Even if you can't get this product at your local stores, it's worth ordering from Amazon if free shipping, as this product is formulated very well, especially for my senior dogs.

This is very good dog food and the dog loves it. It is worth any price that you can get it for. This dog food is based on protein and is much better, for any dog, than other dog foods are. Amazon ships fast and they are very fair. We got the dog food within 5 days, which surprised us a lot. Buy only Diamond for your dog and you will be as pleased as the dog is.

My dog's skin was dry and itchy so I wanted to get a better dog food that wasn't quite as expensive. I read where the corn based dog foods could cause allergies and dry skin. I found this one that was on the top dog food list but not as expensive as the others. Both my dogs like it. I've had it for about a month and my dog isn't itching as much, her skin doesn't have the dry flakes and her hair is shinier.

My dog enjoys chewing on the this toy; it also makes her treats last much longer as she works to get them out of the different nooks and crannies you can wedge them into. She normally gulps down her treats so quickly that I don't think she even has a chance to taste them. The wishbone makes her work harder and extends the time the treats last.

Our lab is 1 year old, and he chews through stuffed animals within seconds. The only toys he can have now are the regular Kong, the Squirrel, and antlers. I came across this at Petco, picked it up at an inflated price, and Eli (our pup), hasn't put it down since I got it almost a week ago. It quickly became his favorite toy. It also keeps him busy for long periods of time, as it's very interactive. I put treats in it, and it keeps him busy. Then, when all the treats are gone, he still loves to chew on it. It's held up for him, (not a lot of things do). Although a bit phallic-looking, I highly recommend.

We bought the small dispensing toy and its great but it is too tough for a small dog. Our dog is now 7 lbs and she can't still take stuff out of the center unless is something really soft, that would brake after a while.. Other than that its great to keep the dog busy for a while.

Received the wishbone in a timely fashion and was excited to try it with our 6mo old lab. I froze a piece of string cheese in it for increased difficulty. He was quite determined and chewed the ends off. He is a large dog and an aggressive chewer. I do not recommend this if your dog likes to chew. I was expecting true KONG rubber, the wishbone is not.

After feeding my dogs what I THOUGHT was a "Premium Brand" food: (Iams Healthy Natural), and paying for that as well, I stumbled upon this website: / and found out how it was actually rated. Much to my sadness, the Iams premium food that I had been paying so much for, was not only one of the WORST foods for my dogs, it was also probably contributing to the downfall of my older dogs health. She was slow and sluggish, and just didn't want to participate. At first, I thought that she was just old, and then I read about what I was feeding her, and her younger sibling. I was Horrified. Think of the movie "Super Size Me" -30 days and nothing but McD's for every meal) Now compare this "movie diet" to a Dogs Diet. If that horrible Fast Food, did that much damage to the director, in a very short amount of time, then just imagine what is a constant diet of poor grade dog food, doing to our furry family members?

That was when I figured out that, I was even paying more for the Iams as well! The Iams has a 17.5 pound bag for $21.87that comes to $43.74 for 35 pounds! Premium Edge? Only $39.99 for a 35 pound bag, and, I don't have to go to a fancy food store either! Thanks to Amazon, it gets delivered for free, by my UPS guy, (he isn't too happy about it, but I remember this, at Christmas time, and really hot days when cold water and a snack is much needed).

Now, if you could actually SEE the difference in my dogs coat, her disposition and energy! Oh my goodness! It changed so much that, I even went so far as to order a book, on how to bake their doggie treats as well! From now on, they get nothing but REAL FOOD. My dogs are like my children, and I would NEVER feed my kids, all of that horrible junk that some of those other foods are made from. In EVERY commercial, they (the dog food companies) spend millions to, lead you to believe that, you are buying the BEST but in reality some of the supermarket brands, are actually BETTER than the Iams food. I'm just upset that I was spending premium money on sub par food.

My advice: look up the brands on that website, look it over, and purchase the BEST food that YOU can afford, for YOUR dogs my shelties don't eat much (some people can't afford premium food but at least get what you CAN afford, by the crude breakdown) For Us,,, this works out to be a win win situation I don't have to go to the store my dogs are eating PHENOMENAL food, and they show it. All for the same price, (if not actually less) than the Iams Healthy Naturals.

I never thought that I would actually SEE the difference in my dogs, just from the food that they are being fed! All it took was, four weeks for my Older dog, to turn back the clock, and start acting like a younger dog my other one that is only four he was already acting like a pup, but at least I know now that, what he is eating, won't start aging him prematurely. I could not be happier, nor can I say enough about this incredible brand of food Just look for "Premium Edge" (in ANY flavor).

UPDATE: after finding out that this brand has had recalls from its plants for things like unsanitary machines, and fungus I switched foods ASAP for the safety of my Pup. I now use Nature's Variety Prairie Dry Dog Food, Chicken Meal & Brown Rice Medley, 30-Pound Bagit is reasonably priced, and I cannot find ANY recalls on the brand my dog loves it very much check out the reviews on the Natures Valley you won't be sorry!

I don't think there is a better quality low fat weight management dog food out there, My 11 year old Rottweiler/Lab was diagnosed with pancreatitis so he requires a low fat diet of 10% or lower fat. This is hard to find in any dry dog food but Premium Edge Weight Management II (not I) fills the bill with 8/10% fat. The ingredients in this food are really good. I have asked my dog and he likes it and gobbles it down but he doesn't love it. The only problem that I have is the kibble itself. It seems to look very dry and there is a small amount kibble crushed into powder on the bottom of the bag. All-in-all I still don't think the quality and price can be beaten.

When we adopted our cat, she had spent 9 months in a cage at the humane society. She was scrawny, cranky, and not happy. We went to an all natural pet store, and the woman suggested this type of food. At that store, we paid nearly $30 for a small bag that lasted maybe a month or two.

But, this food was like a miricle! Our cat perked up, started playing, was curious and happy. Her coat was shining. She was like a new cat.

Something else awesome? Her poop doesn't smell nearly as bad as it did with regular, crap-filled food.

This stuff is amazing. Why only 4 stars, then? The price. This is one of the best prices I've found for this type of cat food, but the brand itself is very expensive. But, our cat is part of our family, it's worth it.

We have a household of 6 cats and they all love this dry food. The ingredients are wonderful and you tell the quality of the food because it does not contain fillers such as cornmeal which is used in the cheaper brands. In cat food, you often get what you pay for and although you may feel a bit woof sticker shock with the price of an 111 lb bag .... It is worth it. You save money on the other end when you buy a food without fillers ... Less feces in the litter box and a lot less odor. Our cats have coats that are silky soft and they lave this food.

I've been a Wellness dray cat food fan for 6 years and they a love it. This formula has been popular with all 6 cats.

Thumbs up!

My cat had been vomiting every morning for years and we blamed it on separation anxiety. We called an animal behaviorist and our vet recommended that we put her on kitty zoloft. We tried this cat food instead and immediately the vomiting stopped, she stopped coughing up hairballs, and she finally started having regular bowel movements. Her hair is shiny and she has put on a healthy amount of weight. She is no longer anxious and seems so much happier! We are so grateful!

I've been switching my cats over to healthier food and it's been a struggle. They love Purina Indoor Formula but any dry food other than that? They refuse to eat. After trying a few different 'healthy' brands, I've settled on this one.

It's a pebbled hard food that's probably really tough on an older cat's teeth, so fair warning. It's also smelly as heck. It smells a bit like wheaty cardboard and is the same color. My cats turned their noses up to this for DAYS and I worried that they wouldn't eat it. Now they eat it, albeit reluctantly. It's the cat equivalent of broccoli or brussel sprouts. It's good for them, but they're not enjoying it.

I've been giving them the Indoor Health recipe for about a month now, and they eat it, but very slowly and pickily. I supplement their diet with Wellness Core canned food (which they love), and will stick with this a bit longer. It does make a difference in their coats. I have one cat that has dry skin and her coat has been a lot healthier and with no dry skin flakes, so that's a success. Hairballs have gone down to almost nothing, too.

I just wish they enjoyed it more!

After all of the pet food scares a few years ago, I switched to Wellness, which at the time, was a smaller producer of pet food. I was attracted to the all-natural ingredient list. But what really mattered was the safety of my cats and this brand had been the subject of any recalls that I was aware of. Luckily, my cats love it.

It is more expensive than grocery store brands or even the premium versions of the name brands, but it is worth it to me.

I also think that a diet of Wellness all-natural ingredients has made and ocntinues to make my cats feel, look, and act younger than their ages. Your mileage may vary, but I gladly pay for Wellness quality.

So, I have a beagle. She's a perfectly lovely little dog, but can be quite hyper at times. Ok, more than hyper, she can be crazy. Particularly when the rest of the family comes in in the afternoons. She jumps all over them, runs in circles around the house, and takes a good hour or so to return to non-frenzy state. I gave her one of these little calming treats today and voila, no jumping, no running. She was still her normal happy self and has been playing as normal, she just isn't wound quite so tightly after having the treat. She accepted the treat willingly without me having to hide it in anything. (But if I am to be completely honest, she is not the most discriminating eater, so make of that what you will.)

Bought these for my 3 year old, 90lb chocolate lab (field breed, not english breed... aka the super crazy labs). Had to leave her unattended in a friend's house while we went out to a soccer game, and have used them SPARINGLY when we visit friends and she needs to be mellow for a few hours (despite walking her, playing fetch and dog parks, she will still jump around and get into everything).

When she eats them, she tends to be very mellow and more likely to nap than whine, bounce around, or otherwise get into everything. I would give this 5 stars, but I really dislike the idea of medicating a dog for its natural behavior/energy/curiosity on a regular basis. She is a lab they have a ton of energy naturally. Also beware the energy spike when these wear off. Your dog will want extra attention/exercise when these wear off.

But if you need a mellow dog in a pinch (leaving them unattended in a strange place, visiting dog-shy relatives or friends, these will work. Just follow the directions on the bag and don't give them too much.

For the last two months, we've shared our house with a now 17-month old Weimaraner rescue. Like all adolescent Weims, he is sneaky, stubborn, exuberant and...sensitive. Like many rescues, he is still working through the effects of what came in the three homes he lived with before ours, including three months in multiple dog foster homes. So. sometimes even after lots of exercise, patient training session and 24/7 tenderness, his edginess remains. These calming chews work very well for us.

When we give one of these after his evening meal, he becomes much less agitated. As a result, we can watch a movie without constant interruptions, and the cat can enter the room without the dog springing into full speed action. I don't think there's any placebo effect since the "patient" is a dog(or maybe we're just more relaxed after he takes it in anticipation of its calming effects)...and it calms him down.

Bottom line: after taking this, we enjoy calming experience for *every* member of the house.

Our small 12 year old Jack Russell/Rat Terrier mix gets dog really excited every time we take the 3 hour trip to our vacation home. She starts stressing while we pack the car like she knows where we are going and she doesn't want to be left behind. We go about once a month and she pants almost the entire way, driving me crazy. We have given her these to her 3 times and each time about 10 minutes later she is calm and then goes to sleep for most of the trip. It's great! She is not doped up and likes the taste very much. I highly recommend these.

SEE UPDATES BELOW!!!

This is one of four calming products from Pet Naturals with the same dosage ratio of key ingredients per ten pounds of pet weight: only the size of the soft chew varies in three and the fourth is a liquid. ALL WORK BEAUTIFULLY on our four pets and better than the compounded (& expensive) drug amytryptalline (sp?) prescribed by our vet. The liquid may have a convenience advantage, especially for pets whose weight falls in between the listed weight categories. The liquid is more expensive, however, and would have to sell for about $14 to equal the serving cost of the larger chews. Most economical is the product for medium-to-large dogs ($6-$7 for 21 chews) but requires slicing the chews into smaller bits (completely doable, by the way) for pets under about 40 pounds to get portion sizes to match the manufacturer's recommended dosage. I surmise that the manufacturer's recommendation is based on the worst-case scenario (sensitive pet and acute stressful situation). For less taxing situations/pets it would be entirely reasonable to begin with a milder dose (say half or even a fourth) and work up to an effective level. We have four 10-pound pets, two of which have aggression issues: one out of jealousy and the other defensiveness; the third is skittish and over-excitable; the fourth (the mom-cat) is generally cool but gets a little frayed by the others' behaviors. I slice the larger chews into about 20 bits and add a bit to each of the two protagonists' three daily meals. This gives me about 7 dosage-days per cat per chew rather than 4 days at the recommended level.

SPECIAL NOTE ON DOSAGES: See my review of either RENAFOOD or RENAL ESSENTIALS for more information on the RELIABILITY (including label dosages) of supplement products.

This smaller dosage regimen seems to work just fine for these behavior issues for these pets. I may try reducing the dosage even further after the two antagonists have achieved a noticeable attitude adjustment. The product does seem to work better on the jealous/aggressive pet better than on the defensive one. I had noticed this same phenomenon with my DIY herb mixtures (chamomile, peppermint, fennel, ginger, etc.). They seemed to have more effect on the pet with genetic/developmental aggression than on the one with learned/protectionist aggression. The Pet Naturals formula, however, works noticeably better on both pets than my homemade concoctions ever did (Well, just as good and it tastes worlds better, say the pets). ONE NEGATIVE: The liquid is 3.8 oz not 4 oz. as advertised. Small but unnecessary discrepancy. MORE POSITIVES: the pets LOVE the product; it is non-addictive; and (naturally!) natural. The only time it is not effective in calming the pets is after they get a good whiff of the stuff and before you can give it to them. During this interval, THEY GO ABSOLUTELY NUTS. And STAY NUTS until the aroma (and product) is out of range of their senses. IRONIC, huh!! According to the people at Pet Naturals the product has no dependency issues and the ingredients are completely "natural". The colostrum is the bovine variety and said to be hormone free. I did not ask (I did not WANT to know) how they harvested this natural colostrum. Also per Pet Naturals, the calming effect takes about 30 minutes to engage and lasts about 4-6 hours. Again, I suspect this is based on the more intense end of the stress/anxiety spectrum. In our case, the "bits" of reduced dosage last from meal to meal, which is at least 8 hours (and sometimes a little longer--I know, the pets think we are irresponsible too!). We have only had one bad fight since starting the regimen about two weeks ago and it was CAUSED BY the product!! (retraction later). We were comparing products with the pets in the same room (same bed!) and our jealous one got a whiff. She got very excited and persisted in pursuing the aroma thru the closed containers. This apparently broke the calming power of her meal "bits" and within a half hour she ambushed her favorite target sibling viciously (well, it sounded vicious). So WE were the CAUSE of this attack, NOT the Pet Naturals. Had we given our keen-sensed one another small "bit" (and put the stuff away quicker) she probably would have settled back down and resumed her repose. CUSTOMER SERVICE at Pet Naturals deserves accolades as well. I spoke to two reps there (one actually in sales) and both were just EXCELLENT; probably the best customer service experience I have had that I can remember (should I mention my memory loss problem?). They actually sounded like they were enjoying helping and they actually did with their knowledge of the product and with actual experience in using the product. For instance, they knew the "user satisfaction" level that the product designers shoot for: namely a minimum of 80% and that their products typically achieve a 90% user (pet) acceptance level. In our case, it is 100% (& possibly 110%). I am also testing the liquid formula as a flavor enhancer for appetite-challenged pets. So far the aroma of the calming liquid (and the "bits") is easily lost when mixed with food (even dry nibbles) or water or chilled. I generally feed our pets dry nibblers floating on about an ounce of water. One of our pets has renal failure and the accompanying diminished appetite. Adding the "bits" or liquid drops to her food does not seem to improve her appetite level. I would have expected a dramatic effect based on how appealing the products are to our pets if fed to them out of hand. I am not through with the "enhancer" experiments yet, so I may add to this review later if I have something new to report. I am also testing other calming alternatives, one in particular from VETS*BEST, and will compare the products when I write a review on this other brand. There are still other brands of calmers out there but, having found some that work for us (and at an affordable serving-cost), I do not plan to check these others out. So if anyone could extend the product comparisons by bringing in others they have used in side-by-side trials with Pet Naturals or Vets*Best it would be immensely helpful to future seekers of pet (and human) calm.

UPDATES: 1) This review was last updated on January 18, 2012 and JANUARY 2, 2013, to add a note on a NEW (and EVEN BETTER VALUE) PN product and a few details. 2) The promised review of VETS*BEST TRAVEL CALM is now available. 2)I finally found some flavor enhancers that are effective and summarized the results of my search in a review of CAT-MAN-DOO BONITO SPRINKLES. 3) I recently discovered a FIFTH PN CALM product that represents the BEST VALUE to date: CALM XL for dogs over 75 pounds. Currently it has about 3-times the amount (8 oz) of the package for medium-to-large dogs at about twice the price. And, like the other "dog-bone" shaped PN products, it can be sliced or ground for matching the serving size to the size and needs of the pet.

My dog is fine with the chicken and lamb, but didn't like the salmon (which I thought he'd love). Got this one on a whim. Definitely a winner he doesn't QUITE gobble it up like it's a special treat, but it close.
