ULTIMATE PET NUTRITION Nutra Complete, 100% Freeze Dried Raw Veterinarian Formulated Dog Food with Antioxidants Prebiotics and Amino Acids (1 Pound, Beef)

Nutritious and satisfying
I was searching for a healthy dog food for my nine year old dog who suffers with arthritis. For a while I made her food, but it isvtime consuming and expensive. She really likes this food which I mix with home cooked beef. Although it is a bit pricey for my budget, it saves me in medication costs. She is back running and playing outside, more like her younger self. So far, so good!

Finally!! Five years to find a dog food he’ll eat!
Update: That was March, it’s the end of June, and I just ordered 3 more bags (because I found it at a discounted price) but he is averaging a bag a month and I try and give him only about 1/3 cup 2x a day, or I give him 2/3 in the evening. Never fails, he eats all of it, every time. I tried Katherine Heigl’s Badlands Ranch, Sundays, and Pawstruck all within the next month because of the price point on Nutra Complete, which only (barely) gets me 30 days. (The others cost a lot, but there is quite a bit more volume and weight per bag and would theoretically last longer if he would eat it!)I still supplement the Nutra Complete by keeping the other ones in his regular dry dish, but he will rarely touch it! All those other brands are just sitting there, not even halfway empty. And after the “trial,” I forgot to cancel one of the above, and it was a $78 charge!Bottom line, I know he is getting well-balanced nutrition that won’t trigger cancer or inflammation. He’s lean and mean at a whopping 8#’s, so I have no idea how middle-income retirees with bigger dogs could afford this, but I’m happy to do without Starbucks coffee for my little one. I figure I’m investing in his future healthcare and longevity, so he’s worth it. I’d rather pay now to avoid him having debilitating or chronic health issues in the future, especially with vet visits/services costing more than my own doctor visits! :)**************************************************************************************************************************************I’ve tried expensive, shipped frozen “real food,” basted and baked, several “healthier” (meaning very expensive!) dog food brands, even made my own dog food, but my dog only eats to live.Some days he will flat out refuse to eat. He’s only 8 pounds and he’s super active. (I’ve had to learn to throw with my left arm because this dog does lives to catch a ball and my right arm wears out before he ever does!) Which means he burns calories like crazy. I’ve had to keep him on puppy food for extra calories!Nutra Complete Freeze Dried Raw Food was my last stand, I hated the idea of spending this much money on one pound net weight…but! He loves this. I’m floored.These light brown nuggets are a little smaller than a cube of cheese; some will crush with pressure, but seem to take on a more spongy consistency, similar to a packing peanut, after being opened for several days—it’s humid here.Definitely not a hard, brittle, or crunchy texture. So nice because I didn’t receive half a bag of crushed pellets and dust in the mail.The only thing my dog will eat and eat is freeze-dried liver. If it were healthy enough for him to live on alone, that would be great, but by itself, there isn’t a proper balance of nutrition, so no go. But when he won’t eat for 2 days straight, walking over to his bowl, sniffing and walking away, there were times I considered giving him a bowl of freeze-dried liver just for calorie’s sake!!Never seen anything like it! This dog just doesn’t like to eat food with the exception of pepperoni and croissants. And like that is anything on the healthy side. Even I don’t eat that but every few months or so.I’ve made him ground beef, ground chicken, ground turkey/-with rice and organic vegetables, and after the first feeding, he won’t eat it unless I sprinkle it with grated cheese, just a pinch, and then, nope. He’s killing me Smalls!!He doesn’t like dog food of any kind and only breaks down and eats it when he realizes I’m not going to give in. Until now. And while this is liver too, it contains another organ meat, kelp, and various orange and green vegetables, plus blueberries, which I have a hard time getting him to eat —they contain a lot of phytonutrients and antioxidants. I also like the addition of cranberries because of the d-mannose.He’d eat a whole bowl of Nutra Complete dry if I’d let him, but I like the idea of hydrating it because I put extra water in the bowl. After he eats the food, he drinks all the water, which is great because this dog is half horse. (Or camel!) I worry about him eating and drinking. Especially after we’ve played outside in the Florida heat! And yes, I’ve literally walked the water bowl over to him in his chair just so he’ll drink. My grandkids cause me less worry!! And yes, sadly, I am well trained. 😩Unless I find legitimate information contradicting the health benefits of this particular brand, I’ll be budgeting for this regularly. We’ll see how long a 1# bag lasts…probably won’t be any more expensive than bag after bag of food he refuses to eat.I keep some in his treat jar, and he eats them with gusto.Omgoodness! He heard me handling the bag when I made sure my info was right, and he came running in from outside—how can you resist that face, dirty as it is?! When he’s on his back legs like that, he’s waving his paws up and down begging. Little runt! Stuck his head right in the bag when I wanted to take a picture of the nuggets! Too funny!Yep, it’s a keeper. So easy, I dump it into lukewarm water, let it sit, then he comes right over and eats it, all the leftover water too.(And his poop didn’t go ballistic changing over either, not surprising since he has never had the same dog food for any extended period of time.)So this poor, old lady is more than happy to pay for quality nutrition that isn’t going to cause joint pain and inflammation, doesn’t contain known carcinogens or dyes, and that my dog will actually eat! This stuff is going to pay for itself in restoring my mental health—who would have ever thunk it? A dog that doesn’t like to eat?! Cute little bugger breaking all kinds of norms! Ha ha! That’s my fur baby!

He LOVED it
Like all the other freezer dryer foods I figured my Shorkie would not eat it. I was so surprised to see him woof it down. I added just a small amount of water for the smell, and he loved it. it really does have a freshness feel to it. . Its been 5 days now and I can see a change in his mood and he is having regular and must better poo. Dexter is a small dog and really doesn’t eat a lot and if I keep seeing improvement I may stop adding his kibble if I see the quality is really that good. He’s worth the price, even if its a little more, for his health.

Finicky Maltese… Hey Mikey! He likes it!!!
If this is truly all a dog needs for nutrition, then this is a game changer! My Maltese has been on an appetite increaser since we lost the second of the 3 dogs we had leaving us with just him. We have spent thousands on food and meds. It is always a struggle. We got this today and he went crazy! Begging for more and more but knowing I couldn’t give him too much without a transition, it broke my heart to not just give him all he wanted. I really hope this lasts! I will update after a month or so but for now, I’m a really happy dog mom!

My 2 JR’s absolutely love this. They have shiny coats and no stomach issues. If you want to give your dogs raw meat this is an excellent way to do that. Unfortunately I think this would be too expensive for large dogs.

This is the best and only dry food my chihuahua ever went crazy on.A very picky little dog and did not want to eat dry food.I would give this dry food 100% (tums up).I bought the pork witch is his favoriteOn receiving the bag he eat 1/2 a cup.

My dog LOVES this brand . I add hot water so there is a gravy for her to lick up after and to absorb the kibble so it’s soft to eat . She knows her feeding time and just stands and stares at me till I make dinner . She’s 8lbs YORKIE’s so I only have to give her a little more than 1/4 c twice a day
