After trying a few different high quality products for our two pit bulls this is the Only one that produced firm stool. They seem to enjoy it and the fact that it fits our vegetarian life style is perfect ! I wish it was a little cheaper but only the best for our babies!

No coaxing my 3 dogs to eat this, they really liked it. This food made scooping poop a breeze, not a whole lot there.
A blend of rich duck and wholesome potatoes, combined with the nutrition of oats, flax seed and quinoa grains, does more than tempt dogs with a delicious medley of flavors. This balanced Pinnacle formulation also meets the comprehensive dietary needs of adult dogs as well as puppies. Multiple sources of high-quality protein plus complex carbohydrates support a healthy body and energetic lifestyle. And ingredients such as canola oil help assure an ample supply of toxin-cleansing antioxidants and the fatty acids so vital to a healthy skin and coat.

My Cocker Spaniel puppy had horrible gas from the puppy chow I was originally feeding. After some research I decided to try this limited ingredient food. No more gas! And he really loves it. Thanks Pinnacle! The only thing I'd feel even better about would be the inclusion of organic ingredients in this holistic product.
It sounds like an entrée at a fine restaurant, fresh trout and delicious sweet potatoes. But these are also a fine and delicious source of nutrition and that makes Pinnacle an excellent choice for active puppies and adult dogs. Good nutrition is about variety, and the variety of protein sources in Pinnacle —the trout, the potatoes, plus oatmeal and the organic grain quinoa— means all essential amino acids are here. It also means that complex carbohydrates, essential for energy, come from a variety of sources as well.

We could not be happier with this Pinnacle Holistic food! We didn't realize our yellow lab had a sensitive stomach until we switched him to this food and immediately noticed the absence of nightly dog farts. We hadn't given any thought to the fact that his food was causing the gas issue but now that the problem is solved, we wish we had realized it sooner!

This gets a 1 rating from my dogs. They wouldn't touch it. I took the whole bag to our local shelter. This food was HIGHLY recommended to me by other users so it isn't the food. For some reason though it didn't appeal to even one of my dogs.

ORIJEN Senior - Biologically Appropriate for All Breeds
As dogs age, their bodies become less efficient at metabolizing the proteins that are vital to maintaining lean muscle mass and overall wellness. In addition to increased dietary protein, senior dogs typically require fewer calories than younger dogs, and fewer carbohydrates help improve insulin resistance.
ORIJEN SENIOR has a Metabolizable Energy (ME) of 3750 kcal/kg or 395 kcal per 250ml cup (105g). Calories are distributed to promote peak physical conditioning with 40% from protein, 25% from fruit & vegetables and 35% from fat.
She ( Onyx, my older German Shepherd ) wouldn't hardly eat it and she kept the runs. I moved her back to the Orijen Puppy Food and she is doing ok now.
2. Darla on 7/8/2009, said:
my dog had been eating senior Canidae. I switched hopeing that it would help and itching problem, but it didn't. It's a very high quality food and buying from k9cuisine was very, very easy - fast, free shipping - so I probably will return as a customer. Thank you.
3. Yvonne on 6/16/2009, said:
I have a small yorkie, this food is too large and hard. She doesnt chew well. She will swallow it whole but doesnt seem like a good thing to do. Otherwise she likes flavor.
4. Jelinda on 6/4/2009, said:
Their senior formula has changed! My bag ordered 5/09 shows a different formula on the bag. 40% protein, 15% min. fat less kcals than before, 20% carbohydrates now. It smells very fishy (more fish near the top of the ingredient list now) and my dogs' poops are smelly and dark; my dogs are having gas since starting this bag. I have fed Orijen Senior for over 1 year, but we are leaving. I emailed the company to ask about the formula change, and other than an automated reply, nothing. We're leaving Orijen.
5. Susan on 5/18/2009, said:
I wanted to switch my dogs to a better food. They love the taste of this one.
It may not have enough fiber for one of my dogs-she was on prescription diet food. She loves this food but has gained a few pounds. I will be trying this for a while and see how she does.
The smell of Grammy’s house and her famous chicken pot pie is an unforgettable comfort, plus she doesn’t care if you watch Nick at Night all day. Our family loves dogs, and we’ve been sharing this gift with dogs around the world for a little while now and the votes are in – Grammy For President. She’s our number one seller because the woman can flat out cook, not to mention she took first prize in needle pointing at our local fair. This meal is sure to make your dog beg to move to Grammy’s, even if they have to eat their vegetables and massage her corns! Wash this dish down with some fresh peanut butter cookies and a cold pint of milk (not Skim but old school Vitamin D). Grammy sends her best!

It’s time to celebrate. Your family and dogs have gathered around the table for one of your world famous cookouts (minus the burnt wieners and too yellow potato salad). Your prized beef and favorite side dishes are ready to be feasted upon. In Texas, we love beef as much as Americans love apple pie. So saddle up, put your bib, chaps on (whatever works for you), some extra deodorant because this dish is gonna make your dog sweat and let’s pop some fireworks. By the way who cares if it’s in the middle of winter (however, this would not be a good idea if your city has an ordinance against them. If so, maybe you can go out to Cousin Earl’s in the country or heck, move to flippin’ Texas) Muchos Gracias from the Merrick’s.

The wilderness - it’s the call of the wild, the return to simplicity and oh by the way, stuff that tastes pretty darn good. These bold flavors come together and provide an X-rated excursion for your canine friend. So whether your idea of backpacking in the outdoors is your commute to work in your urban jungle or trekking the Lewis and Clark trail, this dish does not discriminate. Now, you better pack a night stick, a fresh glow stick and some freeze dried ice cream for this trip because its basically gonna send you to the moon. So ditch the skinny half caff latte and let’s go full throttle and howl at the moon like you want to get arrested. The Merrick’s say send some postcards (mugshots are cool too)!

I switched my 4 year old female boxer from EVO when she started putting on too much weight from the high protein/fat content. The Before Grain gives her the same high quality nutrition with a slightly lower fat content. She's dropped 5 lbs and is now her normal healthy weight. This has made our daily 4 mile runs much more enjoyable for her. She loves both the salmon and buffalo flavors.

My dogs have allergies and they love this food. They eat it right up...and I don't need to bribe them by putting other stuff in their dishes.

This is a great product. It is healthy for my dog and easy for me when in a hurry. Normally I feed a raw diet but sometimes I just cant cook for my dog so this is a great alternative and purchasing it from you online is convenient and makes it a better value.

Our dog has allergies to grains so this is a great product for her. Along with a probiotic to sort out her digestive track she is now looking fantastic - her coat shines, her muscle tone is improving and she has more energy. I would highly recommend this product for ANY dog.

It's very difficult to find a no-grain, fairly low protein dog food that the dogs will like but it looks like I found one. Thanks.

I used to have to "trick" my dog to eat his meal and many times I failed. With this new food, he has not missed a meal!

I wish my four dogs would eat this food as I know it's a better than average one - but they won't.
3. Cynthia on 6/21/2009, said:
Great nutrition....leaves soft stools though. Dogs like it.
4. Yvonne on 6/16/2009, said:
I have a small yorkie, she likes this food and the size is small. She doesnt chew real well so this food works better than some of the others for her. Overall the change from her other food to is going well. No upset tummies.
5. Adrian on 12/15/2008, said:
The kibbles are small so my medium-sized dog doesn't do much chewing. Taste-wise she seems to like it.
It's not easy to find a grain-free, reduced fat kibble!
