Dogs like it when combined with meat. Not sure about the large amount of oats in the mix. Would prefer more veggies. I combine with boiled rice

This post is about my positive experience with a new dog food that I tried called Dr. Harvey's Miracle Dog Food Pre- mix Health Food.

My husband and I adopted another rescue greyhound in late January and he was nothing but skin and bones. He broke his ankle on the track and was retired. You may not know this but racing dogs are fed raw meat. Of course when he went to the rescue group he was switched to a dry kibble food which I could tell was not agreeing with him due to his terrible gas, upset stomach at least 3 times a week and loose stools. I know, TMI! So I wanted to put him on a high quality, high protein, good fat, and low carb diet which is very expensive as carbs and meat by-products (road kill, and all other parts of slaughtered animal other than meat, skin, or organs, such as beaks, feet). Gross right? I tried at least 5 different very expensive dry kibble with no luck. He didn't gain weight , he continued to have upset stomachs, and horrible gas! He is 3 years old.

In the meantime, my 11 year greyhound was recommended to be put on a prescription diet for kidney care where she needs no more than 14% protein, high Omèga-3 and low phosphorus. Well, I put her on that but of course she wouldn't eat it. And did I mention that I always put either wet dog food or toppers to entice both of them to eat their food. However what ended up happening was that my senior dog wanted the young one's food and vice versa defeating the purpose of trying to get them in the best health possible.

I then heard from a vet online on how to slow cook protein such as beef, chicken, turkey, pork , or eggs with green beans, sweet potatoes, rice, peas with some fish added about twice a week, for their daily meal. This worked for about 2 weeks but it was very time consuming trying to feed two 75 pound dogs. I would have 2 crockpots going at once. The vet said if you slow cooked the food for 20-24 hours, then they could eat the chicken bones because they would just crumble apart but of course, I didn't trust that and I would find some leg bones and thigh bones which were still hard and splintery so I would have to mush through every thing which was very time consuming. But the worst part was that my young one continued to have upset stomachs and horrible gas and I wasn't sure if this was best for my senior dog's kidney issues.

So back online I went and found a vet nutritionist who has been selling a dehydrated, human grade dog food for over 20 years that you add hot water to rehydrate and add the amount of protein and oil your dog needs. In the pictures below you can see a list of the ingredients. This way I am able to control the amount of protein that my senior dog needs daily, 8-10 oz, and a good omega-3. I was using canned sardines but at 1.99 a can, which would be a little under half the amount of protein she needs, that was getting a little expensive. My young greyhound gets 20-22 oz of protein a day along with some olive oil. I accomplish this by baking 4-5 chicken leg quarters per day which yields me about 2 lbs of protein per day. I recently switched to marine phytoplankton which is plant based pure omega-3 which is grown or farmed in ocean water so it's a sustainable supply. You only need a fourth of a teaspoon per day per dog (powder form) mixed in their food.

This dog food has truly been a miracle food source for them. They both attack their food like they haven't eaten for days. They eat twice a day. My young greyhound has not had a stomachache since starting this food, no gas, no licking of his fur or paws and he seems to feel so good. My senior dog is getting the right nutritional balance for kidney issues and absolutely loves her food. She still plays with her squeaky toys every night after eating. They also do zoomies in the back yard every day to get their 3 minute exercise routine done.

If you have dogs with particular nutritional needs or you just want your fur baby to eat a great quality food, I highly recommend this food, and no, I am not being paid for this review. It's been a 6 month struggle to find a good dog food that works for both of them. Arlo and Kibbles give it 5 stars!

My dogs love this I have a very picky eater and he gobbled it up

Alfredo picked all the chicken out first and Piggy did the same when she realized what Alfredo was doing. I assume she was thinking, "why would anyone ruin 2lbs of chicken like this?" But something happened in those 15 seconds between smelling and inhaling just the protein. I'd bet just enough of the mix had made it onto their palettes for them to develop the flavor profile and determine Dr Harvey was onto something. Because, Alfredo asked for a scoop of the mix and then another, and another. Piggys curiosity got run over by her feelings of fear as they exited her body as she took her first bites of just mix. She knew that her and her best friend and partner for life had just had what Alcoholics refer to as, a moment of clarity. There was no such thing as dog food anymore. This was fuel. Fuel for their little canine engines that before this were just putt-putt-putting along. Now all 8 cylinders were pumping fuel/air mixture into the spark that would combust and push those cam shafts with fire and fury like they've never felt before. They just haven't been the same since. The chanting starts off like a slow whisper around 430pm, by 6 its a thundering roar that can be heard for miles to let the world know it is dinner time. And nothing will quiet these 2 beasts but chicken or steak with an EVOO dressing complimenting Dr Harvey's Miracle Dog Food Pre-Mix...CANINE HEALTH. Today, on our walk they met a Bully in the neighborhood who was clearly unaltered and unleashed....he tried sniffing Piggys backside and Alfred promptly introduced him to what humans call, Humble Pie. I think maybe Alfred learned telepathy from Spock on Star Trek while I was at work one day because with one non aggressive snot rocket from his wrinkled snout it was as if Alfo gave him to the count of 3, like I do to them when they wont stop wrestling each other at 2am on the bed I am sleeping in, the neighborhood example of GED over diploma apologized and fist bumped Alfie before turning and scampering back into his backyard. As we continued, Piggy said we should bring that young boy some Dr Harvey's so he can experience life without feeling inadequate for the first time in his life. She is an angel. Tomorrow they want to check out some coordinates they believe could be the location of the lost city of Atlantis based on some dreams Piggle had while napping. I'll have to get a boat, but who cares?. Thanks, Dr Harvey.

We have a 10 year old Viszla that we adopted last year. He was a little overweight and on dry dog food. We switched him to this and his weight is perfect now. His coat is so shiny and he has the energy of a young adult. Plus he absolutely loves this food! He will come find me when it's time to eat. When it comes to feeding, I follow the directions on the amount of ingredients, but I don't feed it raw. I add extra water and cook it to an oatmeal consistency. He whines the whole time I cook it. He just can't wait to eat it. We wait till it cools enough to feed him, and refrigerate the rest. I also split the serving into 3 instead of 2. It's more than enough for him. I highly recommend this food.
