Ketona Chicken Recipe Dry Food for Adult Dogs - Low Carb, High Protein, Grain-Free Dog Food (4.2 lb)

My dog was getting incredibly fat thanks to my child sneaking food, and since moving over to this from regular kibble we have noticed both a healthy amount of weight loss but also an increase in stinky farts (from my dog). Worth the trade off.

I can’t say enough about this dog food. I have read and searched for a true low carb dog food for my 11 year old active Springer Spaniels. After researching extensively over the years for quality dog food, I made the conclusion that I would need to start making my own food to keep my Springer babies healthy. I was reluctant to go this route because of how complicated it can be to provide the essential nutrients for aging dogs. I had followed Daniel Schulof a bit and liked his story. When he created this dog food, I was thrilled. Based on what I had read, I trusted his judgement more than the big companies. Fast forward to 9 months of feeding my dogs Ketona. I will preface this with the fact that my dogs are active. They do 5 to 7 miles a day on leash and running wild change birds on the beach in South Georgia. They both have food sensitivity and started to gain weight. Lots of weight compared to their activity level. Other dog foods were not satisfying their hunger so at times I was over feeding them. Their coats were dull and they were beginning to have fatty lumps all over their bodies. Since the switch, they are back to a normal, fit weight. The fatty lumps have reduced and some have gone away. Their coats are once again soft and shiny. My female was showing signs of weakening back legs. The constant tremors were scaring me. The vet told me I needed to cut back her exercise drastically. I did for a while until I could get her back to a normal weight. Her back legs rarely shake and she is happily chasing her tennis ball again since I switched to this food. This food is a little more expensive but it is cheaper than a raw diet. It is well worth the convenience. I have 11 year old dogs that most people think are 5. I can’t wait for my vet to see them next week. She was not on board with all my food experimentation. Like most vets, she has been trained to recommend food that doesn’t make sense for dogs.

In a rush to get my two Shih Tzu puppies off of the Puppy Chow they came home with, I did a quick look around and found Ketona. Overall I like the brand, food smells much better than low quality stuff, small kibble size is perfect for my pups and poops are less but still more than I expected from a higher quality food. First bag I bought (from another website) seemed fresher than the bag I bought from Amazon. Kibble could be crushed with a spoon or strong fingers unlike the Amazon "rocks". Not saying it's Amazons fault as the expire date was still valid. Value for money? Although this food is of much better quality than most stuff on the market I'm not sure it is the best kibble my money can buy. I'm currently researching a few other brands that have a higher protein content and carbs are just as low as this one but the price is slightly less. If the price point wasn't so high I may have stayed content and never started my quest to find the ultimate kibble but its game on now. Money isn't really an issue but if I'm paying a premium I want the best. I will continue to feed this as I finish my research. At this point I wouldn't hesitate to keep this brand in my pups rotation of higher quality foods especially since there was no need to "transition", they switched over cold turkey without any digestive upset!

My dog loved it, thrived, and improved. She had previously been ailing from non-specific reasons. Within a month she demonstrated significant improvement. I didn't like the price at all. I could buy steak in the market for less price. I alternate her diet with one day kibble and one day either ground beef, roasted chicken, salmon, or ground turkey. I don't know what to think; my dogs likes it with respect to other brands of kibble, but the cost is over the top. I don't think its a good value. I feel gouged.

My dog has been diabetic for 2 years and 11 months. I've tried it all, this stuff is a joke! His blood sugar didn't go down any. I check it twice a day and give 2 shots of insulin. This dog food caused pancreatitis in him twice with it's high fat content 16%. Just buy kibbles and bits mini bites at your local store,and feed it along with boiled chicken breast, you can add a shake of seasoning to it. I feed scrambled egg mostly whites in the morning with a slice of turkey bacon. Vet didn't think he would live a week and it's been nearly 3years. If you have a diabetic animal please, please buy a testing kit, massage there ear fold back a prick, once you find the correct spot on the ear it's easy to test. Blood sugar goes up and down, even eating the same portion at ever meal. Might be the same for 1 week then it goes crazy. You have to test. But I promise this dog food is a waste of money it looks just like trout food that you throw in a pond, even smells like it.
