My 6 month old Westie was prescribed one month ago Omega 3 & 6 fatty acid Supplements due to her dry coat. After searching & researching all available dry puppy food I came across this product. I wanted to order it but worried about running out & waiting for deliveries. Thankfully this product is now available at Target. I ran out last week and bought the smaller bag to see if she'd like it. Yum--she dove right in and ate it all!! I read about all the ingredients and can't wait to see how she'll look in a month or two. Needless to saw I won't have to buy the supplements any longer. This puppy formula contains everything she needs!! |

I have a 10 month old Westie that just would not eat well. I found the Drs. puppy food formula, checking for by-products and the like that bother Westie skin, and I decided to try it. My little guy LOVES IT and it is not a concern as to what he is eating or how much he is not eating. My puppy has done so well on this product, I have also started my 8 year old Westie on the adult version. Both of my Westies are doing great. Thank you for your product of love. |

The breeder of Murphy, our American mastiff, recommended another brand for him to eat exclussively until he was two years old to ensure proper growth. He never really liked the food, always had a lot of gas, and had a dull and brittle coat. In May 2006, we adopted Annie, an epileptic German Shepherd mix, whose requirements are quite strict. While searching for the ultra-premium dog food, I came across Drs. Foster & Smith. I ordered two bags in addition to canned food. They absolutely LOVE it and gobble every bite. Their coats are 100% improved! Our mastiff, whose coat was very dry, dull, and brittle now has the most silky, soft, pliable, shiny coat he's ever had (and we've had him since he was eight weeks old -- he's now 20 months)! We've since changed the diet of our three cats to the cat food! I HIGHLY recommend Drs. Foster & Smith food! We will definitely be life-long customers! |

I own and operate Shady Elm's Shih Tzu, and had been searching for a quality food to feed my adults and puppies. I heard about Drs. foster & Smith foods and decided to try them. I noticed the ingredients were wonderful, and my dogs love the food and have thrived on it. I just raised my first litter on the food and they are fat and healthy puppies. Thank You! |

Our two sheltie pups - Bert and Ernie - absolutely LOVE this food! We had been feeding another brand, but neither of the dogs seemed very enthusiastic about it, and didn't always finish their food. We'd heard about Drs. Foster & Smith foods, and decided to give the puppy food a try. After a few days mixing the food in with their other food, Bert and Ernie became very interested in dinner time. Now that they're eating Drs. Foster & Smith puppy food exclusively, they don't even let my wife set their bowls down before they start eating. I've purchased two bags to be sure we don't run out of our pups' favorite food! |

Our Rat Terrier puppy loves this food. We switched him over from the food the breeder was using. We mixed to help him adjust. Even after mixing, he would eat Drs. Foster & Smith food first and the other food after. His coat is amazing... very shiny. I definitely recommend this food. |

This food had done remarkable things for my giant Schnauzer puppy, who previously had soft stools and irritable bowels due to the high gluten content found in so many other dog foods on the market. After only 2 days of being on Foster & Smith Puppy Food, she showed signs of a turnaround, and has not only been a much easier dog to be around--but no doubt feels a whole lot better!! |

I am a small breeder of toy poodles and love the bite sizes on this puppy food. The pups really enjoy the taste, along with my Dams who eat it while expecting. |

I have a VERY picky Westie eater. She wouldn't eat her dry dog food unless wet food was mixed in, and I still found her licking the wet food OFF the dry! I ordered your Adult Chicken Food and was Happily suprised she LOVED it! Now she will eat her dry food and I don't need to add soft! Thanks Foster and Smith for a GREAT product! |

My black lab puppy (5 mo.) has been eating this food for 2 months now and has the smoothest, shiniest coat I've ever seen. We get compliments on his coat all the time. I plan to feed him the puppy food at least for the first year if not longer (since he's a large breed). The breeder suggested puppy chow and I looked at the ingredients and promptly went to the Foster Smith website. I feed my older lab the adult food and she loves it. She too has a beautiful coat. |

My dog used to have a low appetite. I was so worried about it. No matter what I do, she does not eat. Until I added "Drs. Foster & Smith Dry Puppy Food Formula' into her diet. Now she eats a lot. It makes me so happy to see my dog is eating meals regularly. |

I have a 9 week old Jack Russell mix. I got him when he was 8 weeks old, and wanted a high quality food for him. I have used Drs. Foster and Smith food in the past, but opted to use Nutro holistic puppy food, as I could purchase it at the pet store. Well, he ate it, somewhat, leaving about 1/2 each feeding. So I purchased the Fosters and Smith Puppy Food, and he went crazy! No more coaxing him to eat just a little bit more. I learned my lesson, I'll stick with Drs. Foster and Smith! |
