American Journey Dog Food

[aweitzm1]

Has anyone tried Chewy.com's dog food brand "American Journey"? Right now they have a deal on their canned food as buy 1 get 1 free and it is priced under $20 for a case of 12 12 oz pack.

I was thinking of ordering it but have never heard of the food before. Bella has gotten so picky with eating that she will only eat wet food and it is getting expensive. Therefore anytime I find a deal I am interested in getting it.

Was wondering other's thoughts on it. Dog Food Adviser gives it 4.5 stars but I know that is not always the most reliable website.

I definitely would not use it based on how the dentist ranks it!

I have not heard of it either.

One further comment. You might save money on the dog food but could end up with some major vet bills. Be very careful.


Good luck!

American Journey is in our rotation of food that we use, grain free limited ingredient lamb and sweet potato canned is used here for treats and all the various flavors/meats grain free sweet potato dry is our main feed. We've been using it for what seems like two years. Take note that BOGO is a one time deal, I think limited to one case canned or at the most just the one order.

I'm not 100% sure but maybe 90% sure that it's manufactured at the same sub packer as Merricks, packaging colors and ingredients all seem similar/close enough(I may have even verified that at one time but can't recall 100% right now) flip a coin, maybe yes, maybe no.

What I read about it a couple years ago was good, I liked their ingredient list back then, I liked their nutritional profile and YES... I liked their price for what seemed to be a premium mix of food for a middle of the road price. My dogs love it, solid poops, no transitional anything when I move between wet, dry or the various flavors. When a grain free dry Merricks popped up on a BOGO at chewy I grabbed that and there again was no transitional anything poop or feeding wise going on or off Merricks from/to American Journey.

I think bottom line I could pay the same price at the grocery store or petco and receive a far far far inferior feed than the limited ingredient or grain free products of American Journey from chewy.
