Customers say

Customers overwhelmingly praise this puppy and nursing mother formula for exceptional palatability, with puppies eagerly consuming it dry, mixed, or as treats. The small kibble size is ideal for toy breeds and tiny teeth. Reviewers consistently report seamless weaning transitions from mother's milk to solid food, with puppies beginning to eat independently as early as three to four weeks. Many highlight visible health improvements including strong bone growth, glossy coats, and high energy levels in puppies, while nursing mothers maintain healthy weight and vitality. Overall, customers express strong long-term loyalty and recommend it enthusiastically.

Samples work!

Mitsuki JapSpitz

I received a sample from your booth at the National Dog Show in Orlando and had 2 recently pregnant females at home. I got them started on the Ht42d right away and switched them to the starter as per instructed at day 42. I noticed that they were satisfied, their coat looked better and the babies felt like they were super active in that belly. As a side note, one of the girls had a wart that literally disappeared over a weeks time, once we got started on this regimen and we had tried quite a few supplements to clear it up prior to pregnancy. Amazing!

I recently bought the Small Starter Mother and Babydog Dry Dog Food for my puppy Rocky, and I couldn’t be happier! The food was super fresh right out of the bag, and Rocky absolutely loves the taste. It’s clear this formula is made with quality ingredients—perfect for puppies and nursing mothers. Highly recommend for anyone looking to give their pup a healthy and delicious start!

My Cavalier King Charles Rose as expecting puppies, I had always fed my puppies their Cavalier puppy chow but this was great to actually find a diet specific to our breeding needs. I love knowing she is getting the very best nutrition.

Petco delivery stinks as bad as customer service

Tess G

I ordered this on the the 4th, it was supposed to be delivered 3 days later. Package still says pending shipment. No one from Petco has reached out, plus they already charged the full amount almost 2 weeks ago. Would not recommend ordering from Petco online again. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE SO FAR. Have tried to call and email in regarding the order and nothing back so far.

No, I do not recommend this product.
