We adopted our puppy recently and she was on Puppy Chow with her foster. We switched her food to a "high end" food, but she immediately got sick (vomiting, diarrhea, lethargic). We switched her back to Puppy Chow and she was so much better the very next day. She's back to happy puppy self. We recommend!

Would give a 0 star if possible, slowly switched my puppy to this and after being on this food nothing but diarrhea and vomiting. We also found very hard almost like green pieces of cement or rocks in her food… we couldn’t even break the pieces with pliers!

My puppy kept having diarrhea and stayed sick. We went to the vet 3 times and finally figured out it was this food. He changed her food and overnight the diarrhea stopped. Finally after 6 weeks she got relief!!

I feed the puppy chow to my 3 yr rottweiler. She lost weight when I moved her over to dog chow. The puppy chow gives her coat a nice shine.

Purina puppy chow with mothers milk is in me and Molly's opinions the best puppy food you can give and still be at a reasonable price. I've allways fed my puppy this type and it keeps her weight up. She's really a happy little fat puppy eating this food everyday.

We recently gained a new German Shorthair Pointer Puppy, Lauretta Lynn. She absolutely loves this food. Cleans her bowl every time. We are currently mixing with a little warm water until she gets a little bigger in order for her stomach to adjust. Will definitely keep her on this food.
No let downs here!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have been using Puppy Chow for all the dogs that I have had for over 30 years. My Dogue De Bordeaux absolutely loves it. The breeder sent us home with several small bags of the food she used. Started mixing in Puppy Chow a little at a time. no adverse effects. He enjoys it as much as every dog I have ever had.

Our breeder did not recommend our puppy chow we already bought for our new 8 week old puppy “Stevie”. She suggested using her 4 Health as she gave us a small bag. Stevie didn’t eat much at all in 3 days so today we tried the Puppy Chow Tender and Crunchy! She loves it! We will continue your puppy food.

Always used regular puppy chow in the past with no issues. Adopted two new puppies a few months ago, been using the tender and crunchy. Every single bag so far has had baseball sized GREEN CHUNKS with a disgusting odor. Not mold, just chunks of food that didn’t get ground up all the way I guess. Consistent errors like that (along with the smell) is concerning and makes me paranoid that if they aren’t doing quality control checks, making sure the big chunks are removed- what else isn’t getting checked?? Really disappointed after being a loyal Purina customer for over a decade.
