| Chewy's "American Journey" Brand Dog Food Some time ago Chewy quit selling Fromm dog food. The results are the last 26 pound bag of Fromm Beef Fritata I bought elsewhere was $75. With my 3 little ones that'll last a couple, maybe 3, months so it's not like it'll break the bank but it does make me keep my eyes open for a quality dog food at a better price. While I was at Chewy to buy a box of bully sticks and a box of pee pads I noticed this dog food brand that I hadn't recalled seeing before, "American Journey". So I hit the appropriate filters to look over "American Journey's" grain free products. The ingredients seemed pretty similar to what I enjoyed seeing in Fromm products so I took a glance at what the dentist had to say, he likes it. It was a two for one deal at the time so I bought 2 cases of canned limited ingredient lamb and sweet potato as a treat for the pups and two 24 pound bags of American Journey grain free lamb and sweet potato kibble(not the limited ingredient one), with tax, about $40 for two bags! It'll be another month or two before they finish the Fromm Beef Frittata and I open a bag of American Journey for them, so I don't know how that will go yet but I do know they LOVE the canned limited ingredient lamb and sweet potato. I'd love to hear what you think of American Journey Grain Free products whether you've used it yet or not. Here's the link for the kibble I purchased: https://www.chewy.com/american-journ...yABEgLAcPD_BwE Here's the link for the canned I purchased: https://www.chewy.com/american-journ...ient/dp/160888 I know some people hate the dentist but he writes it out so it's easy to understand, here's his review link: https://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-f...free-dog-food/ |

| I would make sure they have vet nutritionists on staff, do feeding trails and see where they get their vitamin and food sources. No mater what the dentists says ingredients themselves are the least important.

| The food source, ingredient sourcing, is a good point. I'll have to figure that out. I suppose I was hoping someone else here already has. |

| Doesn't look so good now. "some of their ingredients are sourced from outside the U.S. Per numerous e-mails to customers found online and a response from Chewy on their site, ingredients are sourced in the United States “depending on availability.” “If sourcing in the U.S. is not available due to any reason, they look at Mexico (Menhaden Fish Meal), China (Choline Chloride and L-Threonine), Chile (Deboned Salmon), Canada (Debon ed [sic] Salmon, Dried Kelp, Fish Oil and Flaxseed), New Zealand (Lamb Meal), Austria [sic – probably Australia] (Lamb Meal), Netherlands (Potato Protein), Germany (Potato Protein), and Switzerland (Vitamin E Supplement).” L-Tryptophan and Taurine appear to come from outside the U.S., too." https://dogfood.guide/american-journey/ |

| China sure does have regulation issues. Scary scary on their lack of regulation and the OTC drugs humans and dogs use whose vitamins or part of their ingredients source from there.

So far no recalls. Most of the comparisons I've seen reference Blue Buffalo. The manufacturer also makes a lot of other brands. | |

| This touches on some numbers of imported Chinese supplements... seems somewhat unavoidable at some point. https://blog.bariatricadvantage.com/...redients-safe/ |
