I know fish is an ingredient and it definitely smells fishy and gives our boy bad breath. I do however like the lower fat content recommended by our vet.
I purchased the VFS Low Fat Formula for our Lab/Hound mix with a pancreatitis, gastritis, and colitis diagnosis with elevated liver enzymes. I really like the formula, especially with Whitefish being the protein as opposed to other brands. He loves the food. My only concern is the Calcium and Phosphorus levels. They are below the required levels, but are higher than other Low Fat Formulas. The representative for Square Pet was awesome with quick replies to any question or concern I had. The reviews are excellent as to the results.
Our dog had a severe case of pancreatitis and I worried I’d never be able to find a low fat food that didn’t contain chicken which causes him loose stool. I found this on Dog Food Advisor and ordered through Chewy as it is not carried in my area. Our boy loves his new food and his stools on this are great! Please distribute in the Midwest! He is back to his old self after close to a month of being sick. Thank you!
My dog loves these. It’s the only treat that doesn’t upset her stomach and now we can’t find them. Please make more!!!!
I have a GSP that has a lot of GI issues and he’s been on this food for 3 months. For reference when he was on other food he had loose stool, lots of dandruff, and losing lots a hair. After 3 months of being on this food everything is so much better all across the board! No more loose stool, no more dandruff, and not losing nearly as much hair! He loves the taste of it as well and we even have the treats! I love the ingredients as well. I’m so happy my local feed store manager recommended this food. This food has helped my dog so much and would recommend anyone to give it a try specially with GI issues. Make sure to give it at least 2 months!
It is too soon to comment on the allergy issues like scratching, however, Mako, my GSD absolutely loves the taste. I could even use it for treats. I need this transition to be a slow one. We are up to 50/50 with the Canadian HP. No vomiting or diarrhea. Another 3 to 4 weeks and she will be 100% on the Skin and Digestive HP and then we will see how it goes. These things take time to do it right.
My 3 Senior Aussies love this food. It settles their tummy quickly and they attack their bowl. I appreciate having these available for any digestive upset or after rotating foods.
Our fox terrier foster with allergies is doing really on this food so far!
Easy to order and my dog loves it.Since he has to be on a hydrolyzed diet I was a little worried he would refuse the food but he eats eagerly, his poops are normal now, no more vomiting or abdominal pain and he feels better than he has in years. Ships fast too.
Great food! Just what my dog needed for her IBD.
Thanks for creating a low-fat food chicken free!
Total game changer for my dog with chronic pancreatitis, who had been on Purina ProPlan Gastro EN. Perfect poops! Just recommended this food to my brother who is a veterinarian.
She is a small dog with renal disease and pill fatigue with side of over moms cooking. That’s how I have kept her phosphorus low. When she stopped eating I bought this and she loves it, plus her energy is much improved! It’s also nice to not have to cook for her everyday.
Excellent product and excellent auto ship experience. Would highly recommend for all pet lovers.
Sarge loves the dry dog food for sensitive stomach and allergies, but absolutely NOT the canned hydrolyzed pork can food.
this food has helped my dog drastically. he was told he only had a couple months left to live due to chronic kidney disease. after being on this food his blood work has gone back to normal and he is thriving. he has lived past the couple months he was given.
This food has certainly helped my dog that used to have pancreatitis all the time!!
Shes been so healthy since we made switch to Square Pet
Our 12 year old Yorkie loves it! She cannot eat chicken but loves fish. This works very well for her sensitive stomach. Molly has been eating this every day now for 2 years. So glad we found it!
My 4 yr old Boxer was diagnosed with pancreatitis in November 2024. He is also allergic to chicken and has a sensitive stomach. The vet prescribed food all had traces of chicken so I had to find a different option. Square Pet Lowfat was highly recommended. We switched and haven’t looked back! GrizzLee absolutely loves this food and for the first time in years he is so excited for meal time! Zero flare ups since diagnosis. We hope to keep it that way!
Both of our picky little dogs are eating this dog did. We are so pleased. We sometimes mix it with their other food. They eat it mixed or plain. We will be ordering on a regular basis. Thank you.
I can't use this product due to a vet required special diet. I'll likely give it to homeless people with dogs
