Review: High-quality food for a reasonable price - Quality dog food has become outrageously expensive over the last few years. I feel the zignature brand is THE best deal for a high-quality food. We've tried every flavor of the Zssential dry dog food and they like them all, with the multi-protein appearing to be their favorite. Unlike most dry foods, this food has multiple sources of meat as the first ingredients- turkey, salmon, duck, and lamb. This is a grain-free, chicken-free, corn-free, wheat-free, potato-free, soy-free, and gluten-free food so it's great for dogs with food allergies, skin issues, or sensitivities. It is extremely difficult to find dog food completely free of chicken products. My vet advised us not to feed our dogs grain-free food since it can cause cardiomyopathy and other issues so we add some brown rice to the food. We also add a small amount of the trout wet food to the mix once in awhile and they love that. We've tried all the wet food flavors as a lot well and the trout seems to be their favorite. We often switch between flavors since they become bored of having just 1 flavor of food and this is a great food for that, it doesn't give them diarrhea or stomach issues when switching meats. This food is also made in the USA so I feel safer giving it to my pups. The food can be used for dogs in every stage from pregnancy to puppy to adult. We have 2 huskies and 1 Staffordshire terrier-mix, all 3 are picky eaters but they like this food a lot. Highly recommend the Zignature brand.
Review: Great brand, top quality, fair bang for buck! - I like this brand a lot its mostly usa ingredients and mostly healthy, all there recipes have good ingredients. I got the Zzsentials bc it has 4 diff meats, 3 of which are in the top 6 ingredients. For around $3.50/lb you won't easily find a better quality to price deal. Online this brand is always 4.5-5 star an for good reason. My dog loves and I like the fact that I can give her lturkey, lamb and duck in the same kibble. The smell is proper. No fillers or cheaper junk in this brand. My only knock is the kibble is very tiny but they mention its for smaller dogs on the bag. I prefer the pellet size(dime size). But for those with small dogs this is easier to eat/digest. Solid A for quality and seller is a solid A-, rating. I'd suggest this brand to anyone. Thanks.
