Highlighted Reviews

β€” Donna

"My dogs LOVED this dog food. Wish it was still available. Now pro plan is their favorite. They won't eat any other dog food."

β€” Chelsea

"Just saw this is discontinued, the only food my dog cares to eat."

Bottom Line

Dog Chow is a decent food but be aware it lacks consistency, as some reviewers complain about ongoing irregularities. Prominence of positive feedback makes it difficult to pass over but quality declines mean it may not be worth the investment for some. Being discontinued has also been raised by some reviewers and it would be good to know if there is something we can go and put our trust in.
