from Chico, CA on 4/14/2008
I started feeding this food to my terrier puppy (who is now almost 2). He has done wonderful on this food. I recently got a rescue dog who was in poor condition. After a couple months on this food she has picked up weight, coat is shiny, more active, and a good clean bill of health from the Vet.
It may seem exspensive, but I feed my dogs (2 skye terriers) the dry food with a scoop of the EVO canned in the morning and then free feed in the after noon once their breakfast is gone, and the large bag and case of canned food lasts me almost 2 months! For a high quality food, this is the best bang for my buck.
I would recommend and have recommended this product to anyone who is interested in feeding a raw diet but doesn't want to have to mess with the prep.
from Santa Cruz, CA on 4/12/2008
After having a dog with food allergies I decided to get my new Cairn puppy (now 10 mos old) started on a healthy, good diet. This food fits the bill!
from Medley, Miami on 3/16/2008
I love the nutritional benefits it offers my Razz. The only thing is though i have to wet it to make it soft enough for him to eat. It seems to be quit filling as well.
from Rochester, NH on 2/26/2008
I have a 5 year old Shephard/Akita mix, every year we have had to bring her to the vet because of severe skin allergies, last year a friend of mine introduced me to Evo. Though a bit expensive I felt the need to give it a try for my dog's sake. A year later, money got tight we decided to move our dog over to the Nutro dog food, well within just 2 months of her being on the Nutro the allergies have returned and her shedding is excessive, so we are going back to the grain free Evo. I guess you don't really notice the lack of scratching until the scratching has returned.
from Ferndale, WA on 2/1/2008
This is a wonderful all natural dog food. The dogs love it! Their coats are shiny healthy and very little dry skin.
from West Jordan, Utah on 1/21/2008
I feed my lab mix about 3/4 cup in the morning and 1/2 to 3/4 cup at night. Sometimes she doesn't eat till at night...It seems to fill her up better. She also had terrible skin allergies before I started her on the food, I think it was all the corn filler.Since this is mostly protein, she hasn't had the skin problems,her coat is shiny and beautiful...no dandruff. She gets a little gassy, but she was on the other food too, and this is less offensive
from Mountain View, CA on 1/10/2008
I feed this food to my three dogs, a German Shepherd mix, a Boxer, and a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. The shepherd and mountain dog never really enjoyed their old food, usually not finishing it. But after switching, they would quickly and happily eat all their food in one sitting. And it's great because it's good for them too!
from South Elgin, Illinois on 12/17/2007
This dog food really energizes my shelties. Their coats are beautiful from eating this food. I would almost believe that they are smiling whenever it's time for them to eat.
from Austin on 12/17/2007
I have a 2 year old beagle/lab mix and an 8 month aussie shepard and both love this food - they gobble it up in seconds! I love it because it's high in protein and low in carbs ( a must for active dogs) but I'd warn that if your pups don't get much exercise I'd go with a lower protein version -- as they may put on a pound or two. One con -- it causes some serious gas. Both my pups are quite gassy on this food but it doesn't seem to bother them much. We love all of EVO's products - hands down.
from Washington DC on 12/13/2007
Was SOO excited about this food but after two bags my terriers still had loose stools. They loved it but easy to overfeed them because it suggests much smaller quantities and too rich for their digestive systems.
from baton rouge, la on 11/26/2007
I have seen a significant improvement in both my lab's and german shepherd's coats and my shepherd's constant itching and dry skin vanished in less than a month on this food. But most of all, their coats are silky and beautiful. thanks.

I HAVE 5 DOGS WHO HAVE A VARIETY OF NEEDS AND THIS PRODUCT COULD NOT HELP THEM. iT ALSO WAS A BIT SMELLY AND HAD ALLOT OF FINELY CRUSHED UP DRY FOOD THAT WAS LIKE A POWDER AND WAS VERY MESSY. NOT SOMETHING I WANTED TO FEED MY DOGS AS WELL.
from Seattle, Wa on 10/15/2007
Although small kibbles, our larger dachund seems to like it much better than our three chihuahua's. I'm glad to see that it is truly healthy for our pets and I advise all pet owners to try your web site and find the perfect fit for each dog's taste. I am going to try a different choice so that our chihuahuas are as happy with their food as our dachund seems to be. All do love the freeze dried meat however.
from zionsville, IN on 10/5/2007
My dog loves this product.
from Farmington Hills, Michigan on 8/26/2007
We have now used this product for almost a year and my Scarlett is healthy, active, and loves her Evo. We consider this a snack in our house since Scarlett views it as such. Best dry food, with quality ingredients essential for optimum health.
from Los Angeles, CA on 8/15/2007
Great food--healthy ingredients. Suggested for older dog with food sensitivites and diabetes so high protein low carb was critical. Younger dog loves it too!
from baton rouge, la on 8/14/2007
my dogs eat it as soon as i put it down- and their coats are wonderful and healthy. I highly recommend it if your dogs' coats are not shiny and rich looking.
from Houston, Texas on 8/8/2007
Dogs and cats are carnivores.
It boils down to this: either spend money on Innova Evo, or spend money at the vet on a sickly dog. Feeding Innova Evo prevents tooth plaque buildup.
Every vet should recommend this product.
from LAS VEGAS, NV on 8/6/2007
MY DOG NEVER ' LOVED ' HIS FOOD UNTILL INNOVA-EVO.
WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT HE WAS MISSING.FEEDING TIME IS A HAPPY EVENT IN OUR HOUSE.IN THE PAST I WOULD HAVE TO COAX HIM TO EAT AND MAKE A PRODUCTION.NOW HE MAKES THE PRODUCTION AND ASKS TO EAT.DOGS ARE SMART.
from Dallas Texas on 8/5/2007
My dog really loves the Evo food.
Hes a big black Lab,so he does burn off the extra protein.
However ,you still need to reduce the amout you feed,its high protein and rich.
I feed the large bites chicken and turkey,mixed with a little of the canned Evo twice a day.
His coat looks more shiny than before too!
from Weaverville, CA on 7/30/2007
Good, but expensive
from Frederick, MD on 7/18/2007
I started feeding EVO to my 8 yr old German Shepherd who was recently diagnosed with severe allergies. I did some research and discovered that dogs can develop allergies to grains. Since starting her on EVO she has stopped scratching, her once excessive shedding is almost non-existant now and she stopped having to go outside during the night. I add wild salmon oil to her food also and the results are amazing,
from Michigan on 7/18/2007
We feed seven dogz...four of our own and three "grand-dogz". We mainly feed a raw mixture, but suppliment at times with Evo dry and canned. We have a variety of furry critters, young, old, blind, active. They all love the food (especially the more expensive canned food) and we feel at peace knowing we're feeding them the best food we can, other than the food we make ourselves. Thank you for your quality dog food and for keeping our dogz safe with your quality ingredients.
from Linden, California on 7/17/2007
I have used this product on my exotic cats with great success, so when the dog came on board I never even looked elsewhere.
Hartley is active and lives on a ranch, He is beautiful, people are amazed at how wonderful his muscle structure is and his healthy weight.

my dogs love the innova products and this is just one more good deal.
from Nazareth, PA on 6/29/2007
Our dog groomer recommended your all natural product because she suspected our dog was getting chronic ear infections due to a wheat allergy. The Innova Evo dry dog food has done wonders for him! Thanks for making all natural dog food!
from Brownsville, TX on 6/25/2007
I can't give it enough praise!!! We have a boston terrier and she loves it. We supplement it with oatmeal and she still loves it! Her gassiness has diminished, plus she breathes so much better, especially at night. Her allergies have also subsided.
from Long Island, New York on 6/24/2007
Really unbelievable. Fantastic! My Shepard is 8 years old, he has never loved a dog food so much. His body really reacted well to Evo food. For him, no more skin allergies, his coat became gorgegous,he also has more energy. The funny thing is my cat now goes to my dogs food bowl and eats he's food. I think its time to order Evo cat food. Even my cat is telling me this is great. This food was recommened to me by a friend, and I thank her all the time. I tell everyone who has animals to try it and all I've heard is wonderful comments.
Thank you for this amazing product.
from Dallas, Texas on 5/6/2007
I recently stopped feeding my German Shepard raw food due to the time it takes to prepare. I did my research and asked around and the next best thing to her raw diet was Evo. She loves it and has put on some weight. Her coat is shiny and healthy. This is the only food I suggest when anyone is asking about changing their pets food. It's somewhat pricey vs. the grocery store brands but in the long run you actually prevent imbalances within your pet which cause disease. Feeding my dog EVO I am confident that her body will respond and repair itself naturally especially with the high quality of food that her body is processing.Please, if you are considering changing your pet's food I would urge to to try EVO (grain free) !!
from Houston, we no longer have a problem on 4/24/2007
Having five dogs, all with different needs in their feeding regime can be challenging, but Innova has many varieties to choose from which makes my job easier! With one dog needing a weight control feed and another who is very allergic I am able to give them all a high quality food that is best for each of my five four footed kids. I did have one dog who had some gas issues but plain yogurt should help.

from weeki wachee fl on 4/9/2007
Since the pet food recall I have recommended this food to lots of friends and they rave to me how much there dogs love the food.Its american made with only american products and no wheat. My 3 little dogs love it(there lazy) so I have to make sure they don't get extra, My german shepherd is very active and gets the max on the label, if I feed extra he gains weight.They have no skin problems.This is cheaper to use because you use less,(its better food).

from Eldersburg, MD on 4/2/2007
My two beagle mixes love it! It has completely changed thier coats and they are always active. I do agree with the other reviews about the gas, however that might be them eating the innova evo cat food (also recommend)or the fact that they are beagles:) other then that I would recommend this to anyone!!

from Twin Falls, ID on 3/20/2007
Had no trouble switching seven dogs with a variety of needs and tendencies. Noticied immediate improvement in breath quality. Some commentors noted "gas" (although I believe we actually noted an improvement in that area), however, supplementing with some organic yogurt, and that nasty little problem should go away . . .

from New Hampshire on 3/19/2007
We have a Chi puppy and for some reason her blood sugar was very elevated. Our vet recommended that we try this food as it would be similar to the Atkins diet. At first she wasn't sure about and I mixed it with the food she all ready ate. Then she would pick only the Innova pieces out and eat those. After 2 weeks her blood sugar was almost normal again.
I have noticed more gas but like others its only been about a month so it might get better.

This is the dog food everyone should use. It's not a yuppie food. It's not for people. It's the perfect natural food for dogs. It gives dogs what THEY are supposed to eat.
from Phoenix, AZ on 2/27/2007
I just started using Innova RF for my overweight border collie who does agility. I already have seen a difference in his energy level and he appears to be slimming down. He's been on a "diet" for over a year without any weight loss. The vet could find no reason for this, i.e., blood test; thyroid normal. So I researched this product and decided to give it a try. My dog loves it and actually drools when he gets his breakfast and dinner. He has more energy in training classes so should really be great in trials. Thank you for a great product; my dog thanks you too....no more pumpkin or greenbeans mixed in with his food; of which he loves.
from Miami, FL on 2/25/2007
I have two dogs, a 5 yr old bull terrier & 2 yr old mix bread (shepard doby) my little mutt doesn't eat just anything you give her and she eats seconds of EVO dry dog food. I feed them raw meat with the EVO and they are 100% healthy! I would recommend this food to everyone with animals.
from Stuart, Florida on 2/14/2007
Having a high energy dog demands a special food, supplying enough protein and antioxidants for an active life style. I have a Jack Russell Terrier that demands a food that can break down easily and provide many usable nutrients to her system. Innovo seems to fit the bill here- and she goes for the food as if each piece of kibble was a snack.
from Farmington Hills, Michigan on 1/20/2007
I have been feeding my 2 year old Papillon, Scarlett, Spot's Stew and supplementing it with Karma. We were running out of Karma and I was planning to reorder when I found this product. According to the rave reviews and the holistic nature of product, I thought I'd give it a try. It arrived yesterday. I feed her the dry food in the morning after our walk, and she knew when I opened the box this was for her. I placed a small amount in her bowl, and she went up to it, sniffed, and then ate it all. She went into the kitchen, came back out and barked at me for more. Scarlett kept walking up on her hind legs where the bag was sitting wanting more. Now this says alot about a dry food when my picky baby wants it this badly. Glad I made this choice!
from Los Angeles, CA on 1/4/2007
My pit puppy has tried wellness and lotus as well as the raw food diet. Nothing has had as positive an impact on her as Innova Evo. She is retaining most of what she eats and actually likes the kibble plain, which she never would eat before. She also has a very sensitive stomach and took to this food immediately. Big thumbs up!
from Central Coast California on 12/2/2006
One of my Newfoundlands has been such a "finiky" eater. Tried numerous brands, raw, special cooking, etc...won't eat. The EVO she absolutely loves. She also developed allergies to grains...EVO doesn't contain any grains, so this is a great product for this dog. Rest of my dogs love it as well. Although it is available in my area, the cost is just below $[...] per bag.
from Broadway, NJ on 11/10/2006
When I switched my dogs to EVO no grain, I saw immediate improvement in their skin and coats and energy. I highly recommend this product.

This is the only Kibble my Labradoodle Addie has ever eaten. When she was a puppy we had her on a raw food diet. At about 8 months it got tiring constantly preparing those raw food meals and my wife went looking for something else we could feed her. We wanted to stay natural and find a product without any grains. Innova EVO has been the perfect solution. My dog is very healthy and active. She enjoys the food. EVO gives her an extremely shiny and soft coat. We supplement a couple meals a week with raw food, but EVO is her primary source of food. I can't imagine giving her anything else. I thank the makers of Innova for such a fine product.

from orange county,CA on 10/21/2006
This has been the only dry dog food my finicky yorkie terrier puppy has really enjoyed. He was getting sick weekly as other foods upset his delciate G.I. tract. This food has not upset his system and he loves it. I recommend this for any other doggies with sensitive tummys. After reading about this food, you'll know why.

from State of Washington on 10/15/2006
We have two dogs under a year of age and a three year old, recently added to the family. When switching the almost three year old over, there was a little gas, but he has settled in. We feed two meals a day, one raw and one with this product.
My only complaint is that I can't buy locally.
from N.Y on 10/11/2006
I've been using the Innove Evo for about 3 months for my dog with cancer. She loves the stuff and is really staying healthy but she has VERY bad gas. My other dog eats it as well, but only the dry, and he has no gas. Maybe just the canned?

from Bessemer, Alabama on 9/20/2006
We love the fact that there is a commercial food out there that my dog who has cancer can eat. We are undergoing chemotherapy to prolong milly's life and during this time she needs to have a diet that will in essence starve the tumor and feed the dog. Grains provide carbs and that is what the tumor feeds on. Try to find a dog food that does not have grain products , I challenge you! Thank you Natura. The only downfall is alot of extra stinky gas but we have just recently changed over so maybe her system will straighten out.
