R. Rohn (WV) reveals:
My dogs give this a high-five. I've never tried it, but the list of ingredients is sound and it make their tails wag.

 Yummy - Even for Finicky Dog, August 24 ,2010
DebiDubya (Seattle) suggests that:
I have been feeding this to my Standard Poodle for quite some time. It was recommended by a local dog day care/grooming/training center called Great Dog Shoppe in Seattle. They are VERY specific about which foods they suggest and sell. It must meet certain standards of nutrition or it's no-go. My poodle loves it, but even better, I offered some to my cousin's finicky poodle who "just doesn't eat when she's away from home". She gobbled it right up and asked for more. When I compared the contents of Newman's to her brand (which was suggested by a breeder) there was NO comparison. Newman's Own is far superior. I get it via "subscribe and save" so I never run out, I save over the store price and it's delivered right to my door. What could be easier?

 Don't be fooled,, August 23 ,2010
Dan reveals that:
This food is organic, sure. However, look at the ingredients, top 7 includes chicken meal. Never feed your pet anything with chicken meal or chicken by product. It's a cheap substitute, and really is bad for the dog. I suggest a brand like Evo, Blue Buffalo, ect. No ingredient should be meal or by product.

 Seems to be fairly good for a commercial dog food, September 07 ,2010
Christine Holleyman says:
I don't really have much confidence in any commercial pet food, but the ingredient list for Newmans's seems better than most.

 DON'T BUY THIS FOR ITS GRAIN FREE ATTRIBUTES., September 05 ,2010
Jeff Baird (Wickenburg AZ) says:
OK, for those that think they may be buying a grain free product, DON'T BUY THIS. My yellow lab is bad with any grains and causes her to have asthma attacks (really, really bad attacks). Tried this first time last night and she woke up coughing and wheezing. WTF I thought and sure enough, it has oat bran in it. My stupid dumb ***, I trust Newman's to have a product accurately reflecting the products on the label. Brown rice and chicken aren't oats. I guess my lesson learned is trust no one and read all the labels (actually did before i bought, must have missed it though). I didn't miss it,but Amazon has proven they are wonderful when it comes to taking care of their customers if they feel there was an error or communication problem. I will continue to use Amazon for most of my shopping, given the incredible value of unlimited 2 day shipping for $75/year

 All beef wonderful, September 01 ,2010
Corinne (Carrboro, NC) says:
My pug was having skin problems and after 6 months a vet tech mentioned it might be chicken and corn that is giving her problems. So I began looking for something else that was organic and was pleased to find the beef and liver from Newman's Own. The liver was not her favorite and was a little strong smelling for this vegetarian, but the beef was great. She loves it, I steam some veggies and mix them in, then put a dry food on top and she scarfs it down. I do wish Newman's would put out an organic beef treat and a dry food that does not have chicken and corn but am very happy with the beef.

 Dog Likes It, September 04 ,2010
Yardbird informs us that:
Got this for our recently adopted 3 year old Corgi. We feed him twice a day; once with this food alone and the other time mixing it with a wet food. He gobbles it up, either alone or mixed. Appears to be of decent quality.

 Diarrhea here I come!, July 29 ,2010
Nidia Estrada (USA) thinks:
This food made my 3 dogs very sick. It was the worst dairrhea they have ever had. Both the dry and the can food made them ALL REALLY sick. i am was so upset I spent all that money and could not use the food.

 Healthy and Happy dog, June 03 ,2010
E. Martin (Dallas, TX USA) says that:
I have a collie and always am on the lookout for good quality food for her. I don't mind spending a little more for better products especially since my dog's health and overall happiness is my responsibility, and this all begins with good nutrition. The quality of the dog food seems exceptional. You can see the bits of fruits and vegetables in the mix and the first ingredient is chicken. I was expecting a "meatier" smell, though, but perhaps this is due to a lack of artificial ingredients or additives that other dog food brands put in their mix to be more appealing to the dog.

My dog showed no concern for switching this food with her normal brand (Royal Canine). I switched gradually since my dog has always had a sensitive stomach. She is not a picky eater by any means and gobbles this right up. I have been feeding her straight Castor and Pollux Ultramix for about a month. The only difference I have noticed is that she goes to the bathroom more frequently than she has with other foods. Is this good or bad? I am not sure. Seems healthy to have a functional digestive system, but perhaps the food is not as digestible as I hoped. Her coat looks great and she has not displayed any signs of an upset stomach or flatulence. She seems excited to receive the food and eats it all in a single setting.

I think the food is great because it is natural, healthy and offers really good, quality ingredients. Every bowl is slightly different as well depending on the fruits and vegetables scooped during that one meal. I think this adds subtle variety as opposed to having the exact same meal day after day.

The only drawbacks (if you find them as such) that I have found is that it is very necessary to keep the food stored in an airtight container. It will dry out and fade slightly in color. I don't think it becomes harmful but certainly looks and feels that it is not as good. I keep a large airtight container that has a small flap on the lid for scooping. Any pet store carries them like Petco or PetSmart. The only thing I found a little odd is the size of the kibbles. They are tiny like pebble-sized. I checked to make sure I didn't accidently buy a small bites or small dog variety and it wasn't the case. This is the standard kibble size. My dog doesn't mind or have a problem with the tiny kibbles but she is not getting the benefit of chewing larger pieces such as scraping tarter off her teeth. I simply added bones to the mix that focus on teeth cleaning and it works just fine.
