4health Dog Food Reviews

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.
