Is this food suitable for large dogs?

Yes. It is labeled for adult dogs of all breed sizes, including large breeds. Large dogs will go through an 8 lb bag quickly, so a bigger bag makes more sense.

Does it contain grain?

Yes. It includes corn, wheat and soy. It is not grain-free, so it is not the right choice for a dog with a confirmed grain allergy.

How does it compare with Purina Pro Plan?

Pro Plan is the step-up line, with formulas built around specific needs such as sensitive skin or performance. SmartBlend is the simpler everyday option with lamb first and a lower place on the shelf.

Is it good for senior dogs?

It is formulated for adult maintenance, not senior or puppy growth. Older dogs may do better on a senior formula with different calorie and joint support levels.

How should I switch my dog onto it?

Transition over about a week, mixing increasing amounts of the new food into the old. This lowers the chance of loose stools, which some owners report when switching quickly.

Does it help with joint health?

It contains natural sources of glucosamine, which supports joint health. It is not a treatment for arthritis, so dogs with joint disease need a vet's advice.

What reviewers say

4.7 / 530,860 ratings

Owners rate this food very highly, with most praising how readily dogs eat it and how their coats and digestion improve. Complaints are fewer but consistent: some dogs pick out the tender pieces, and a minority report loose stools or itching after switching.

What people mention

PalatabilityPraisedOwners say even fussy dogs finish the bowl, largely because of the tender meaty pieces.
Coat and skinPraisedMany report a shinier coat and less scratching after a few weeks on the food.
DigestionMixedMost owners see firmer stools, but some report gas or loose stools during the transition.
Kibble mixCriticisedSome dogs eat the soft morsels and leave the crunchy kibble, which owners find wasteful.
IngredientsMixedOwners like lamb as the first ingredient but note the corn, wheat and soy.
