Let customers speak for us
from 200 reviewsQuality ingredients and it actually smell good ! My cat likes this and it has been good for her stomach too . She has a very sensitive stomach and this has actually helped her bowel movements and she has not had any diarrhea since starting this . Just hope the fussy cat continues to like it !
Bailey my puppy loves his food. I am glad to know that Essential Food is made with high quality produce and doesn’t contain the by products of meats.
My dogs do not put on excessive weight since I’ve changed to Essential Living Kibble. They enjoy them and I use them to replace treats for training purposes.I am also happy to know that they get enough of ingredients to have a complete diet. I do see an improved in their coat/ fur.
My dogs really like the food. They are usually very picky with their food.
Food is great. My dog loves it. Highly recommend.
Made the switch to Essential foods because I was concerned with the filler ingredients in the kibbles sold at mass supermarkets. Reading the ingredient used in Essential kibbles makes me feel confident that it will provide my two cats the nutrients and protein that they need. Also my two cats love the taste of the kibbles, even the fussy one!
My fur babies are no longer fussy with this kibbles
First Purchase for my cavapoo puppy. Glad that she is enjoying it. Will continue with it.
This is the first time buying the Essential Nautical Living for my Westie and she enjoys it. Will continue to buy it for her.
My dog loves it, finish every meal
My dog has been really enjoying this kibble! She’s usually quite particular about her food, so I was really happy to see her getting excited for mealtimes and finishing her bowl. I’m also really pleased with the quality and ingredients. It’s definitely become one of the foods I feel comfortable feeding her regularly. Would happily recommend it to other dog parents!
Good
The only kibble my puppy did not get loose stools on
Great kibbles!!
My cat who is a picky ragdoll loves this! He meows all the time for this, before we used this as his main kibble. I’m assured to see the ingredients list is high quality for kibbles. Love it!
