    My dog really enjoyed this food. We had to transition her over gradually, of course, but we got a big enough sample bag through Chick Advisor's Product Review Club that we could transition over and still have enough left to give her full bowls of Nutrience.

    At first, I think she was a little "iffy" about trying a new food, but after about a week, she was chowing down on the Nutrience the same way she was with her old kibble.

    Maybe it's TMI, but if you have a dog, you know this is important... I also noticed a change in her stool. It was more solid than with her previous kibble and she also seemed to be less itchy (she gets dry skin in the winter and scratches relentlessly). Overall? Very good experience.

    This dog food is really great quality and I would highly recommend this to pet owners with dogs that have larger sizes breeds or breeds that require more protein in their diet. My dog loves it for sure and he usually doesn't like eating dry good alone. But unfortunately it did not work well with his digestive system as it left him very gassy because of the high protein content. We had to put him back with his old food which has less protein than this one. Every dog is different and trying out different brands of food really helps to identify which dog food is right for your dog.

    i was really surprised with the ingredients in this dog food, real food no by products. my dog seemed to enjoy it while she was eating it, she didn't refused to eat it which is good. i love how the bag looked i found it very interesting and bright. sadly, my dog passed away about 1 week into trying this food so i didn't get to see the full benefits of the product. but from what i did see i would recommend trying it.

    My dog with crazy for the taste of the beef formula. The only thing is, it made her sick. I mixed less than 25% into her food- maybe 10%. That night she fell sick and her ears started scratching too. It's most likely an allergic reaction. Since I received this product for free, thanks to ChickAdvisor I actually gave up the dog food to a friend who I told to join ChickAdvisor. She's having a much better experience with her dogs.

    I was given the opportunity to try out Nutrience Grain Free Fraiser Valley Dog Food for free. I have a 9lb, 5 year old Chihuhua Boston Terrier Cross. He's a fit old man, and he loves his kibble. He is very pickey when it comes to what kibble you give him. The moment I brought this package home, he was all over it. He sat right beside the bag and wanted it opened asap. I was fortunate that he was just about out of his regular kibble, that the transition to this one was easy.

    I love that it is grain free. I find that the regular kibble you can get made my dogs coat shed. He doesn't have much hair to begin with, so when he sheds you really notice it. With Nutrience there was no shedding. He had such energy as if he was a pup again.

    I wish the kibble came bigger so it can help with cleaning the teeth while they eat, but that's ok.

    My dog is a super happy guy, who loves his food. I think we have a new favorite, and will continue to buy it for him.

    My dog is currently on Blue Buffalo senior dry food but I am slowly working this into his diet. I researched extensively the ingredients and found Nutrience a much better food. No grains, more protein which is what dogs are meant to eat anyways. Hoping that once he is totally switched over, his dry winter skin will get better due to more protein. I will review again in a few weeks but looking forward to positive results.

    My only concern is the price. It is considerably more money than what his normal food costs and due to being part of this horrible recession, it makes it difficult to buy.

    - The review is based on Nutrience Subzero Canadian Pacific formula.
    -My dog, Bishop absolutely loved the taste as soon as I gave him a sample to try. Although he loved the taste, he struggled to eat the kibble (was a bit smaller than what he is used to).
    - After about a week, Bishop's fur became noticeably shinier and less flaky. He also exhibited much more energy and playfulness! He looked forward to eating his food, and always wanted more after he was done!
    -Nutrience Subzero Canadian Pacific has all around premium ingredients and zero additives. The first ingredient is salmon which is amazing to me! Because of the nutrient content, Nutrience Subzero is definitely worth the price!

    I received this product as a free sample for my dog to try. Our dog has been gluten and grain free for years and it has been hard to find foods that she likes. She really liked this food but it is more expensive than the food that we have been buying her lately which she eats and enjoys. If the price was a bit lower I would switch her to this brand permanently.

    We had the opportunity to test out this new product for the past 2 weeks and have been very happy with it! Firstly, this product is Grain-Free - the first 13 ingredients are meat and then chock full of vegetables! I was incredibly pleased to see that this wasn't full of filler and my girl was eating better than I was!!

    We started off by adding small amounts of the new food to her existing brand, in order to ease the transition and avoid any upset stomach. Since she already suffers from sensitive tummy issues, that's always a concern, but we didn't have any issues with this, despite/because of the high protein and fibre content, things were A-ok on that front. She also chose to meticulously pick out all the tiny "new" kibble first, since it obviously smelled appealing and was probably seen as a treat.

    One thing I did notice was that her coat was noticeably softer. It's been said that gluten can definitely have a negative affect on human hair and skin so I was not surprised to see this as a side effect of the new food. Three visitors to the house also mentioned she was "so soft". I consider her short coat to be typically bristly so it was nice that others noticed it too!

    It's always hard to tell if food ever changes her energy levels, as being a boxer, she always has the go-go-go characteristics of a puppy, but there were no negative changes to her demeanor so that's always a plus!

    My only qualms about this product is obviously the price. At $31.00/ 2.27 kg bag, if we were to purchase the same size bag that we do of her current food (13.60 kgs) it would cost us almost $200/mth!!! That's three times the amount currently being spent. While I do realize that you're obviously paying more for quality ingredients, that's quite the jump to consider.

    Overall, we were really impressed with this product and Finley LOVED IT!!! I would not hesitate to recommend this product to anyone looking to make the move to a Grain-Free dog food!
    *While we were provided this product free to test and review, all thoughts and opinions are my own and I was not compensated in any manner for a positive review.

    So i normally feed all of my pets Acana because i am super picky about what they eat. Upon seeing this chickadvisor campaign i immediately went to check out this food ( no sense signing up if i wouldnt feed it to my pets). Now im going to be very honest here and in the past Nutrience was not a brand i would touch with a 10 foot pool. It was on the same level and Nutro and Iams and that is so loaded with garbage i just wouldnt go there. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Nutrience has come so far in the animal world. My pets loved the food and i happily fed it to them. I have 6 dogs, 5 Chihuahua and 1 German Shepherd... every single one loved it and no one had any adverse reactions to it. Way to go Nutrience THIS is something we can feel good about feeding our pets. A+
