4health Dog Food Reviews

My boy Prince is doing great with the beef flavor. He never used to eat all the food I would put in his bowl but now since I've been giving him 4health he cleans it almost every day. I've only been using this food for about 6 months but I'm going to keep getting it.

I have a 12 year old English Springer spaniel. He's been eating 4health lamb and rice all his life. He is very healthy and has never gotten sick. His doc said he looks very young for his age. I also feed my Irish setter 4health and my new puppy a Brittany will also be eating 4health.

I have had 3 German Wirehaired Pointers and 1 Weimaraner on 4health Chicken and Rice for the past 15 years and they all have been happy and healthy over the course of their life-span. These are active hard working hunting dogs. I have occasionally tried other so-called premium brand foods and found poorer results, and have always come back to 4 Health Chicken and Rice. They stay fit, coats are great, and they process the food well. I highly recommend, if your pup is ok with chicken in their food.

I have had a bad experience. I am unable to shop for myself and I have somebody that shops for me and they picked up a bag of dog food and it had bugs in it. Tractor supply would not give me a refund or exchange it because my healthcare worker did not give me a receipt. That's a lot of money to waste on a product that I can't get reimbursed for. I am unable to do my own things but really wanted quality dog food for my pet.

Changed our dog off of the Hills Science Diet dog food which she was doing great on, to the 4Health dog food because it was cheaper. Also a worker at Tractor Supply recommended it to us. Now she is throwing up all the time, diarrhea and she refuses to eat anything. Today we found string in her dog food. Would not recommend this dog food.

I've feeding my German Shepherd (15 months old) 4Health pet food since day one as a puppy and as an adult female. She loves the kibble. I always buy the 35lb Beef and Rice for her. I purchased the same flavor 08/21/2026. After opening the bag, not one shred was to be found. I called the Tracker Supply that I bought it from. "Bring in back and we'll replace it." Got there, all of their 35lb Beef and Rice had none of it. Lot #H1956-12 had zero shreds. The Dog food kibble didn't even look the same. It was much darker and smaller. I did however, get two 18 lbs. Bags and there was plenty of shreds inside. So I don't know what happened other than somebody mixed up the dog food. Quality Assurance dropped the ball!

My dogs have been eating this brand for several years without any issues. However, with the last couple of bags I purchased in June and July, I noticed they suddenly didn't want to eat it. At first, I assumed they were just being picky. Then one of my dogs became very sick. She vomited multiple, and by the third episode and every time after that, there was blood in her vomit. She also developed explosive bloody diarrhea. After an expensive emergency vet visit and several tests, the veterinarian couldn't identify a specific cause but treated her with medication to settle her stomach. After discussing it with my mom, I learned her dog experienced similar symptoms after eating this food last year. While I can't say for certain the food was the cause, the timing and our experiences have made me lose confidence in the product. I'll be switching my dogs to a different brand.

I thought I’d we’d try the 4Health brand Hip & Joint supplements and 24hrs later, my otherwise healthy & happy 8yo Goldendoodle is crying and pacing. Ended up in the ER Bloody diarrhea (really, just straight up blood). Thankfully he is now home and on the mend. What a terrible experience for what I thought would be a simple brand switch.

Switched to 4health dry food on advice of vet. Started out OK on salmon and rice but when our golden retriever was advised to lose a few pounds we switched him over to the 4health weight management. After just a week or so he started throwing up and diarrhea, constantly. Now he won't eat anything. Tomorrow we will go back to a new vet for testing to see if there's kidney or liver damage. Wish I'd read about this HORRIBLE dog food before changing. Our little terrier dog still eats the salmon and potato and has been fine, but I'm not taking any chances and it's all going in the trash. DON'T BUY THIS DOG FOOD!!!!

My dog loves to eat and has been doing well on 4health until recently. She is turning up her nose and refuses the food even when mixed with her favorite meat toppings. I don’t know what you did to the formula, but it has ruined it for us. We will never buy this product again. I’m throwing out the three bags. I have open now since we were alternating flavors. My dog had been dumped and starving so she is a chow hound that she turns up her nose says something is seriously wrong with this food.

Good ingredients. Not cheap but good value for price and for the health of our dog. She a 14 yo beagle and still going strong on this food. We've been on this for most of her life and she likes it. No digestive issues or skin issues.

I started my dogs on the ORIGINAL Blue and White bag of 4Health Sensitive Stomach dog food back in April 2025. They liked the food and had no issues. On Dec 23, 2025, I went to TSC to buy another bag and it was changed to Sensitive Stomach and Skin Wholesome Grains Lamb and Rice Formula with a picture of the Blue and White bag saying it was the same. I bought a big bag. My dogs didn't really like it, ate some of it and started to get sick. They became gassy again and eventually started vomiting.

I am not sure what is occurring. I have been feed my dog 4 Health for large breed Puppies since he was 4 months and is now 9 months. On this last large bag, he has not had the same response to eating. Has ignored it for breakfast and at dinner pushed his dish away then ate it later that evening. I am going to stop with this bag as his appetite has been different since I got it. I would have given it a 5 star review up until this last bag.

Stuffs a lawsuit waiting to happen. My dog is miserable, covered in a rash, throwing up, and scratched to the point she is bleeding in multiple places. The poor girl just stands next to me because she is to uncomfortable to lay down. Please, don't buy this stuff.

I have been using 4 Health dog food for the last 3 years. The last two bags (Chicken Small Bits formula and Salmon/Sweet Potato). I returned the chicken one after 1 feeding; my Malinois had severe drooling all day. I assumed it might be the chicken since I hadn't given it to him before. I switched to the salmon since that is what I usually gave him. After 1 week, he started severe drooling again. I don't know if they changed the recipe, but I have read that they have inconsistencies with their formulas. I am done with this brand, before the symptoms get worse.

I have switched my dogs from Iams to 4health because of price. Plus I can get it at Costco. My dogs have never had any issues on this food. Even my picky persnickety pom ate it. It's always been the salmon and sweet potato blend. I have had lots of dogs through the years and fed many expensive foods and in the end I'm hesitant to switch because my dogs ate this no matter what. Their coats are silky and soft and I just don't see myself buying anything else.

We are having financial problems so decided to look for a food that wasn't 120 bucks. An employee at Tractor Supply recommended the sensitive stomach line of 4health. My poor girl has had horrible gas and diarrhea and so thirsty. Taking it back tomorrow and going to go buy her expensive food!

Ingredients are good. Our dog is two years on 4health dog food. His coat looks good. He is active and health. His stool is good. We think it's a good choice. Did my research, I don't see anything wrong with it. Reviews all seem positive.

After getting a consultation from a South Carolina Veterinary Surgical Hospital, 4 Health was highly recommended for their probiotics, heart health and all of the good stuff. It contains grains which is vital for canine heart health. Grain free... You are asking for trouble and lots of vet bills. I did have to change from their food that contained Salmon. Salmon was too fatty, meaning had a high fat content that was not good for my one canine. Too high of fat leads to gastro intestinal problems. But both of mine are on Small Bites and the packaging displays a black and white Border Collie that being of a non-small breed. They love the small kibbles and they devour it along with the added cooked chicken, turkey or London Broil. Yes, they eat very well.

I have been purchasing the 4health shreds and it seems every bag I’m getting less and less shreds. I’m thinking this is gonna be my last bag and it’s too bad because my dog absolutely loves it but there’s not enough shreds when the first few bags I used to purchase had plenty.

After 5 days on 4Health salmon food, our dog has been admitted to the vet hospital with acute stomach pain and bloody diarrhea. Tomorrow will be day 4 of his stay. He has had IV fluids, vitamins, pain medication, a stomach-specific pain medication, and a couple of other meds. I would never recommend this brand, I wish I had done more research before starting to incorporate it into his diet. Our other brand is being discontinued. We will now have to go on a gastrointestinal vet prescription food. Not worth the trial. My fur baby is in horrible pain.

My dogs love the Salmon and Sweet Potato and the price is affordable. The one thing I don't like is the design of the bag, it's difficult to open and you have to cut it. Even then the sides don't fully open, making it difficult to pour into a feeder bowl or fit a scoop inside the bag.

I use to buy our princess a top brand dog food at $70.00 per month. We switched our dog slowly and so far no issues and she loves it. She is picking this food out and leaving her old dog food in bowl. Vet approved this product also

I am not comfortable with a lot of these 1 star reviews. I am not sure that this might be the right affordable alternative for my big 5 yr. old female Great Pyrenees with health issues. They can be an expensive dog and I was hoping this might be an alternative instead of Hill Science diet. I have bought 4health canned dog food but I mix with others, Hills Science, Hill Science Prescriptives, Victor. So no problems, but of her daily diet she is only getting 1/4 of a can 4 days in a row and I do not return to that brand for 12 days.

I've fed my dogs 4Health chicken and rice for years without a problem. This last bag is different. One dog vomits undigested dogfood about 8 hours after eating it. He also has some loose stools. My other dog has diarrhea and seems listless, like she doesn't feel good.

Hi. My rescued black lab has been with 4Health Whitefish and Potato formula for at least 7 years. I have subscription with TSC. I opened a new bag two days ago and since then he has been having diarrhea. I noticed when opening the bag that the pellets are very greasy. The bottom of the bag has oily substance. I have attached two pictures, one is the production code and the other is the grease on the bottom of the bag. I called TSC and they're sending replacement. If he's still having diarrhea with the replacement bag, what food should I replace it with?

My German Shepherd age 3 had bad allergies, itching and scratching daily and then became deathly ill in October 2024 and Pedigree starting making him terribly ill vomiting with water diarrhea and Sindri lost weight, a lot. We got him tested and found out he had a B12 insufficiency and EPI (exocrine pancreatic insufficiency) so we switched him to 4health Chicken and Rice in December, got him on B12 injections and ** powder and he is now thriving coming back from a weight drop to 65 now up to 86.6 now. No allergies now. No itching. No scratching.

We switched our dogs to this food (beef) about 2 Months ago. Previously, we were using Blue Seal Krunchies and my dogs have done excellent on it, we’ve used it for years, and it’s much more affordable. We live in a rural area, and our local feed store has been lacking in supply. We had a TSC built about a year ago. We picked this up, and they were farting a lot (that seems to be normal when switching)… However, after two months it hasn’t stopped and our entire house constantly smells like one of them pooped in the house. It’s so staunch I cannot even breathe! I do not recommend this. I’ve never seen my dogs so sick on any other food we’ve ever tried. We have 2 male German Shepherds 8 & 4.

I switched to our hound to 4Health Salmon and Potato dry food after trying several different foods including making food with sweet potatoes, chicken, veggies and rice. She was constantly scratching and always smelled bad until after lots of trial and error, I determined that she is allergic to rice. After going to this food, she is happy to eat, doesn't scratch every minute she is awake and bounces to her dish to eat. I slowly switched our other 2 dogs to this food and they have had no issues. I am happy to have finally found something that all 3 dogs can eat and they seem to love it. The only 2 cons I see, are it is only available at TSC and that it smells fishy (not surprising).

We’ve had our full size Aussie on 4Health for most of his 18 years and two months. He’s obviously not as spry as he once was, but he still enjoys going outside and exploring our three acre backyard with us. He still greets us when we come in the door and has a good quality of life for his age.

I started my gsp on Purina ONE Lamb & Rice since he was a puppy.. He's 2 now.. He started licking chewing his feet shaking his head scratching.. I decided to take him off all chicken products.. 4Health salmon and potato has NO chicken byproducts at all.. My dog quickly improved after about 2 weeks.. Now beautiful silky coat, NO issues at all with skin. No licking his paws scratching etc... THE best dog food ever.. Always check labels.. Even tho it says lamb and rice there is chicken meal byproducts etc.

Please, please, please, consider different dog food. I have fed my dogs 4Health Food for years! But, within the last 6-8 months or so, I have felt my 4 dogs were looking lame. No energy, not much excitement when I went outside to feed them, and they weren't really finishing their bowls. When I first noticed this, I chalked it up to the heat (AZ) since it was summer time. Well it's now winter. I have a 13yr old Lab, 6yr old Husky, 3yr old Dalmatian, and a year old Labradoodle. Well, this is where it got worse. My 3yr old Dalmatian started having a bad limp on his front left paw. No big deal. Then it worked to his back legs. After a month, it was to the point he just didn't feel like walking much. Enough was enough. Before spending a bunch of money at the vet testing my Dalmatian, I switched to Purina One.

I am writing this review, along with a lot of others. How is this still on the shelves? Both my dogs are vomiting from it and have been using for years. Seems to only be since March dogs are vomiting and having seizures. Going to buy a completely different brand today. Bye 4health. You ain't gonna kill my doggies. Not on my watch. Sickening.

This is to let consumers know what kind of company you are purchasing your dog food from. We purchased 4Health Small Bites Formula food for adult dogs from Tractor Supply on Sept. 16, 2024. After eating a small bowl of dog food my almost 2 year dog had a seizure. He had a total of four seizures. They started 20 minutes after eating the bowl of dog food. First seizure was at 12:48 pm, second seizure was at 1:21 pm, third seizure was 2:22 pm and the last one was at 3:03 pm. I was able to get Chiller in at the vet at 4:00 pm. The vet did blood work and an urine test. Test show that my dog didn't have an underlining health issues.

I decided to switch all 3 of my goldendoodles to 4Health as it was recommended to us by a store employee that seemed to know what he was talking about. After 3 days 2 of my dogs became very ill and were taken to the vet. They came to the conclusion that it was the food and after reading other reviews on here it makes me sick to my stomach I didn’t research this HORRIBLE POISON food brand before feeding it to them. My youngest dog has recovered but my middle age dog is still very sick and has been on the couch all day and will only take a drink of water if I force her and refuses to eat. This company “diamond” needs to be taken down. I will be filing a lawsuit against them if my dog doesn’t recover soon.

I really wish I would’ve came here for reviews first. I was looking for a good dog food for my great dane. I did research which was a little overwhelming because everyone has opinions. I want something that would be affordable, good quality and readily available for purchase. I decided to go with 4health because it had a 4.6 star review and the company has only had one recall several years ago. After my experience and reading other people’s experiences I do not know how more recalls have not been made. My dog had diarrhea and started vomiting specks of blood. I saw the reviews here and decided to change the food immediately. I had her on 4health for about a month and a half. I have had her off of it a week and after a couple of days she started having normal stools. She also has a skin rash that she has an appointment with the vet for and I will see if it is related as well.

I have been using 4health for all my puppies and dogs for years! I have NEVER EXPERIENCED any issues with this dog food! With a 20 year feeding structure. I like that they use less fillers such as corn, and they use a decent amount of protein. Moving forward I am very happy with this product and will continue using it!

I breed boxers. I had a litter born in March and was on Diamond ....No issues and switched to 4health lamb puppy with the litters born in April and out of those litters I had 10 puppies die from bacterial gastritis. Every single puppy got sick except for the ones that I had on Diamond. Coincidence? You tell me. They had projectile regurgitation and couldn't hold down anything in their stomach. They were 3 weeks old. It was heartbreaking and in 18 years of breeding I've never had anything like this happen.... Stay away from this food. I wish I knew what I could do to prove this. Who to call? My number is ** If anyone has any ideas.

I couldn’t believe it when I found this site today, ten days after my sweet dog died from a heart attack! I had changed from Purina 1 and had been feeding her this lamb and rice brand for at least 4 weeks. My other dog didn’t want to eat it and began limping and gaining weight. After reading this, I feel certain it was caused by this crappy dog food. Not many dry dog foods are very good.

Purchased 4Health Salmon and Potato dry dog food for my 4 dogs. All dogs started vomiting white foam, lethargic, hot spots, diarrhea and vomiting. 2 dogs got pancreatitis, and one dog almost died. Vet bills I would say easy over $2000. My mini dachshund stopped walking because of the pain in her intestines. We thought it was her back at first, but then it just turned out to be her intestines were inflamed from this food. This food is a death sentence. Once we switched their food, all their symptoms went away. Now, back to normal.
