Great for our bulldogs with food allergies
This is the best food we’ve found for our bulldogs with food allergies and sensitive skin and stomachs. They’ve been on it for years. Our last bully was on TOTW but we later realized he was allergic to the sweet potatoes in it, which is a common allergy for the breed. Please do some research on grain free diets before ruling it out due to others stating it causes cardio myopathy. The FDA quietly walked this back after another study was done showing no link between the two. Think about the bias that this organization has in just about everything it does. Direct ties to the pharmaceutical industry and this study was encouraged by veterinarians with financial ties to large grain-in dog food companies that make billions a year pumping our dogs with corn and meat byproducts of unknown origin. Let’s not forget that these same veterinarians profit from disease and sickness in our pets. It’s no mistake that the follow up alert showing this study has no merit was not widely publicized. The goal of misinformation was already achieved and is now parroted by every other veterinarian and dog owner who had a dog diagnosed with this disease and happened to be on a grain free diet at the same time. This food has the some of the most clean, healthy, and clearly labeled without confusion ingredients out there. If I ate just these ingredients every day I’d be shredded. I would feed my dogs this any day over the overpriced, cheap ingredient, junk packed kibble produced by many of the top name grain-in companies out there.

Good quality
My dog is a picky eater and actually likes this food. He struggles with a chicken allergy so it’s nice to find a food that works for him.

Good ingredients!
We have a yellow lab with severe allergies. So far he loves the food and we like how the ingredients are pretty clean for the most part. We tried Open Farm but had to switch back to this one because it was more affordable and the ingredients are very similar.

Perfect for dogs with a sensitive stomach
The only food that really works for my dog. She likes the turkey and whitefish ones. She is a husky and has a sensitive stomach. We’ve tried other limited ingredient foods, but they still had some kind of chicken in it. This food works perfect and keeps her healthy with no stomach/digestive issues. The only disadvantage is, the only places I can buy it is Amazon, Chewy, and locally the Dog Stop.

Great for dogs with Allergies
This is the ONLY product I can find on the dog-food market with true limited ingredients. Our pup is allergic to practically everything in “normal” or “easy to find” dog foods. Thankful we found this brand, which has worked amazingly well for him. We’ve used the Turkey and the Duck and he likes them both without any adverse allergy effects! The price isn’t the best, but considering the options out there, it’s better than the alternatives (being none).

WARNING!!! DO NOT BUY!!! THIS DOG FOOD CAUSES CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE!!! ***UPDATE***
We have a 6 year old English golden retriever (Cota) and a 4 year old Goldendoodle (Bella). We had been feeding this dog food to both of our dogs since they were puppies. Originally we started feeding this to our English Golden because he has allergies. We tried so many different types of protein – Beef, chicken, salmon, rabbit, etc. and he had issues with all. He could tolerate the kangaroo.When we got our goldendoodle (Bella) she was put on this food from a young age. Within the last week she has become very ill. Not eating or drinking and had a fainting spell. She had an Xray and ultrasound performed at the vet. Her heart is grossly enlarged. She has now been diagnosed with Congestive heart failure. She is only 4! After telling the vet about her diet, lifestyle, etc. our vet had mentioned several studies that have come out with DIRECT links between Zignature dog food and cardiovascular disease in dogs.Bella’s parents and siblings have no history of any heart issues.Bella had no symptoms what so ever leading up until just the last week. Your dog may seem fine, but there may be initial signs that are easy to overlook. If you have been feeding your dog this food for an extended period of time, please have the vet take an Xray of their heart. It will at least be cheap reassurance that your dogs heart is healthy.We do not know at this point how long Bella will live. The Vet said to keep physical activity down and has given use several medications to alleviate strain on the heart pumping (but generally speaking, Congestive Heart Failure is 4 months – 2 years possibly of life left). Bella had always been extremely well cared for. We cared for our dogs as if they were are children, because they are our children.Take care of your babies! These companies are doing immoral things!****UPDATE**** ****************************************************Very sad news. Bella’s condition has dramatically declined over the last couple weeks. Despite being put on several medications to aid in reducing fluid build up from congestive hear failure/ and strengthen her heart, her belly is beginning to swell, she is lethargic and not eating much. For perspective, she was doing agility training because she had boundless energy. The Vet has determined in her current state the most humane thing would be to put her down. So incredibly sad…. The Vet recommended having our Golden Retriever’s heart tested with an echo cardiogram as well since he has also eaten this dog food (Zignature Kangaroo) for his entire life.Cota is a completely different breed of dog, from a strong bloodline with no heart issues. Cota’s heart is showing initial signs of enlargement. Fortunately, they believe his condition can be improved. But the fact is that BOTH of our dogs have heart issues from this food. Our Vet is going to write a report with specifics, as she has now seen this issue with other dogs from the food.DO NOT make the sad mistake we did by feeding your pups this dog food. And if you have been feeding your dogs this food for an extended period of time, get their heart checked out ASAP.

I feed both my small dogs Zignature dry food. I feed them this flavour, Whitefish as well as the Trout and Salmon. I was told the basic formula is the same for all Zignature foods, that it is just the flavour component that is different, so you can switch flavours without the usual “introduction of a new food” hassle. Their poops are small and easy to pick up, and you don’t have to feed them massive volumes because it isn’t filled with useless bulk. I highly recommend the product.

My 2 dogs love this food. It is easy on their stomachs, they had no trouble getting used to it when I first switched. It comes in several flavours- basic formula is the same, so you can switch to a different one without causing upset tummies. It is made from natural ingredients, so it is a healthy alternative for your dog. Also, it is recommended for both puppies and adult dogs, so no need to change their diet as they get older. Best part is- I winter in the US, and I can get it shipped to both countries.

I love Zignature because not only is it very healthy food, it works for my dog who is allergic to a lot of other foods! It is also a tad more affordable than other similar limited ingredient diet formulas.
