This is part 3 of a 3 part post series. We agreed, with Chewy, to try out the Rachael Ray Nutrish Peak Natural Open Range Recipe with Beef, Venison & Lamb Dry Dog Food for Scooby for 1 month to see how it goes for her and our family. In this 3rd and final post, I will be giving my overall final opinion about our experience with the food.
As I had mentioned in the previous post, since Scooby began eating Rachael Ray, I cant say that Ive noticed any real changes. Its been about 3-3.5 weeks now at this point that shes been on it, but I havent noticed any changes in her. There have been no changes in her skin, fur, stool…etc. Shes always a very active and happy dog, though, so thats a good thing - right?! I mean, no change is better than a bad change; especially when the dog is already healthy. However, the fact that she still eats the food and seems to actually enjoy feeding time with this brand is a plus for us. So while her physical appearance and her behavior hasnt changed, the fact shes eating more normal (than basically relying on stealing table food to avoid her dog food at all costs) says a lot to us.
At this point, I think its fair to say that this is a delicious brand of food in Scoobys eyes as well as a healthy brand for her as well. She has been enjoying feedings and hasnt been turning her nose up to the food. In fact, the only issue I can find is that a couple of my cats like it too so we have to keep an eye out to try to keep them away from it! Strange - cats want the dog food, the dog wants the cat food - I have yet to understand why on this one. Either way, though, at the end of the day, our experience with the Rachael Ray food has been a positive one and is definitely a brand I can see us continuing to use for Scooby.
By the way, if you choose to try this brand food off Chewy.com, be sure to get the subscribe and save option where you can save some money! You can cancel the subscription any time or extend or shorten the delivery dates as often as you need! No hassle at all and their customer service is so friendly! Get on just to chat with them about your pet and they talk to you and make you feel like they truly care about them as well. With the lack of customer service these days this is certainly a heart-felt type thing.
