    Evangers Nothing but Natural Grain Free Jerky Treats Oven Baked - I have two dachshunds that have very picky and have sensitive stomachs and this is the only treat that they enjoy having that does not upset their stomach. It is also low fat and grain free and healthy for them. It's been a great experience to have something now that finally works.

    I run with my dog, Eddy, every day, but I noticed even though he exercises daily, he was getting fatty spots on his tummy. I took him to the vet and he had a clean bill of health, but they recommend I change his diet to see if that helps with the fat spots. They gave me a couple of cans of Evangers to try out, and Eddy loved it, so I bought a few more cases of different flavors, and have been feeding it for about 3 months now. The fatty spots have gone down a lot, and I noticed Eddy's coat is more shiny and soft. I am very happy with this brand, and I would definitely recommend it. And didn't even know that changing his food would help so much, so I am glad my Vet told me about Evangers.

    My name is David **, and I graciously want to thank Evanger's for make such a fine wet/dry food. My little Shih Tzu name Willow, had not eaten for 7 days.

    After numerous trips to the vet and blood work I decided to try can dog food from my local pet supplies plus. The assistant manager heard me telling the store manager. She proceeded to interrupt, and begun to tell me all the research she had done on different dog foods, and when she heard my dog hadn't eaten, she highly recommended Evanger's vegetarian, and the Duck wet food. Keep in mind before I started Evanger's dog food my dog was way underweight. Now she has been on Evanger's for the past 4 weeks and then back to the vet and is put on weight her bloodwork come back positive and got good results from the vet from Evanger's dog food. Evanger's dog food company has earned my loyalty my respect in a long life Customer. Thank you Holly and Brett for a job well done.

    Evanger's grain free cat food was recommended to us by our vet after we lost our last cat to kidney disease. There was another brand also recommended, but the price was beyond our means. We have now been using Evanger's cat food for over 3 years, and it suits the needs of our overweight cat, our tummy sensitive cat, and the health needs of both. I honestly cannot say anything negative about this product. Our cats are eating well and are healthy. Their coats have improved, litter box usage has diminished, and the odor from the litter box is a HUGE improvement. More of the nutrients from this product go into our cats rather than ending up in the litter box.

    This food is amazing. My dog loved the hand-packed Chicken Drummettes and Hunk of Beef. The food is very obviously human-grade, and the fact that it is cooked in the can means that all the nutrients are locked in. The Hunk of Beef is like a little pot roast in a can. My dog has done extremely well on this food, and it has cleared up a number of smaller skin and coat issues she had.

    I was feeding my cat, Damien, Costco brand dry cat food because it's affordable and organic. He does seem really healthy and happy but sometimes he gets dandruff which is super obvious because he's all black. I went to a local pet store to ask if they had any dandruff shampoo, and they actually recommended that I just change his diet by adding some canned food. I told them I wanted an organic food, so the store recommended Evanger's Organic Turkey and Butternut Squash cat food. Damien really liked it. I've been feeding it for a few months now still with the Costco dry food and noticed that her skin has improved, and her fur is a little softer now, and I thought she had soft fur before. I really like the food and glad the store told me about it, or I probably would have gotten a dandruff shampoo and not really solved the problem that my cat had.

    My Puggle has always been chubby but I couldn't get the extra weight off of him. I brought my dog into a boutique store with me and they recommended Evangers Vegetarian formula to add to my dog's food to reduce the fat intake. I noticed after 3 weeks his coat was more shiny, soft, and he looked a little slimmer. I was really surprised that just adding the Evanger's food made such a big difference. My Puggle is in great shape now, so thank you Evanger's for making a food for my Puggle!

    I purchased a purebred bengal kitten from a reputable show breeder who feeds Evangers at his cattery. He recommended the rabbit and buffalo formulas to me when I picked my baby up. He even sent a few cans home with me. I have to admit... I was impressed with the minimal ingredients, and the overall quality of the food. Most canned foods smell sooo bad... But Evangers has very little smell. To me, it simply smells like meat. Ive been feeding the rabbit formula 3x per day, with Blue Buffalo Indoor Freedom dry kitten food available to her 24/7. She LOVES her wet food, and is very vocal when its time to eat. She is the absolute picture of health! Soft, shiny coat, good weight, just a gorgeous kitty.

    We have been feeding Evanger's Canned and Dry foods for many years. I would like to contribute our pets long lives to a mix of this food, canned and dry. We feed the Meat Lovers dry and a complete mix of canned foods for our dogs. The cat eats the Grain Free kibble, but at age 19, much prefers canned to kibble.

    My 9 year-old St. Bernard loves Evanger's canned pet foods. He has been eating it for over 8 years. Favorites are: Hunk of Beef, Salmon, Catch of the Day (Sardines), Duck and Sweet Potato, Chicken Thighs and Pork. He will not eat anything else, nor would I trust any brand other than Evanger's. His cinnamon coat is beautiful and he is exceptionally healthy for his age - I believe because he only eats Evanger's. Thank you for a high-quality pet food product!

    I feed my two Labrador Retrievers (age 11 & 15) Evanger's canned food twice daily. They love the chunky chicken casserole and the hunk of beef varieties. My 15 year old dog's bloodworm and overall health is remarkable for a dog of his age. I have three cats, one of which is overweight. I feed them Evanger's pheasant kibble and different varieties of the against the grain cat food in both the tubs and the cans. My big guy has lost some weight and all three cats yell at me if I forget to give them their canned food before I feed the dogs in the evening. I'm grateful to have a pet food company that I can trust with the health of my animals and the proof is really in how much all five of them live and are thru I got on Evanger's foods. Great company. Wish there were more like them out there.

    I've been using Evanger's Sweet Potato as a supplement with for my dogs' dinners. It has helped with digestion and trimmed a couple pounds off of both dogs. They love the taste and I love that the only ingredient is sweet potato. I tried finding a standard grocery store brand of sweet potato at first, thinking it would be cheaper, but grocery store sweet potato has tons of added sugar and other gross additives. As far as I know, Evanger's is the only brand who makes something like this. A household staple.

    I took my lab into the vet because he was having dizziness spells. They diagnosed him with equilibrium vestibular issues. I was very scared because he wasn't eating at the vet so they thought it was something much more serious. They gave him a few different foods and he would not eat any of them. Eventually they brought out Evangers canned food and Porsche went NUTS for it. He gobbled it down, I was so happy! The vets told me that is their "secret food" they use when dogs refuse to eat. The photos attached were actually taken at the vet clinic when they gave him Evangers. I am so grateful to have found this food as it potentially saved my dog's life. I'm a big believer in the food now! And Porsche is home with me now and doing well.

    Once realized my dogs skin and digestive problems were due foods made with any types of grains. I turned to a well recommend brand of dry food. But once a week we like to give him some wet food as a treat. I found EVANGER'S all natural beef to be just that. But now again for the 3rd time after feeding him this he began to vomit 3-x's within 2 hrs.

    Dear Debra,

    We are sorry to hear about your experience! Often times if a dog is not used to meat-rich food and devours it quickly, voluntary regurgitation may happen as a result of stomach upset from overeating, which is common with a sudden diet change. As this particular food is 100% fresh beef, most likely this is what happened as your dog solely ate dry food with canned as a treat once per week. We recommend that any time you introduce a new food, limit the portions for easier digestion.

    My dog and cat have both loved Evanger's food. My cat Binx likes to have different flavors of canned food so it's great that Evanger's has different protein options. My dog Kodi is a big fan of the Hunk of Beef! Both my dog and cat eat the Evanger's dry and canned foods and they have done great on them. I am happy to feed them a food they love that's a great quality food!

    We tried Evanger's dog food and our little 8 lb dog started having seizures. We switched to another brand and the seizures stopped. We tried a different can of Evanger's again thinking maybe it was not the food, the vomiting and seizures started again. We are contacting the FDA to file a report.

    We have a 13 year old Golden Retriever we have been feeding Evanger's Dry and wet can food for over 10 years now and we attribute his long, healthy life to the quality food products we have been buying from Evanger's. The average age for Golden's is 10-11 years, so we believe the Evanger's formulas have been instrumental in his longevity and have given him least digestive problems while also allowing for energy levels over and above most dogs his age!! WE highly recommend Evanger's for any breed of dog.

    I found a cockroach in the can of food I opened to feed my cats. It was in one piece and well preserved, so I assume it was in the can when it was filled. The store I bought the food from has contacted Evanger's and we are hoping to hear back from them. This is very disappointing.

    I was feeding my cat, Missy, food packed by Evangers under the label Wild Calling for a couple months. Then last month she developed a horrific reaction to her food, kicking huge bald patches around her neck and shoulders with bumps all over and ulcerated skin. She is constantly looking outright panicked from seeming burning skin. I'm giving up on canned food switching to homemade food using quality sourced meat.

    I found a piece of long very narrow plastic in a can of food. I sent photos of the item, they advised they will check it out with quality control. I received 4 coupons for discount on future purchases. I am very happy with this variety of their can dog foods, I have also bought the rabbit. My dog, a Maltese, is very allergic to many foods: Fish mix, pork, sweet potatoes, eggs, flax, kelp, beef, chicken, berries. It is very hard to find a food, wet or dry without those foods. I have been using this food for about nine months. My dog lost about 40% of her hair from being on ID products. Once I changed to Evanger's, her fur is now back to normal, the way it was before she had a pancreas attack back in 2012.

    This food made my 2 German Shepherds very sick last night. They both lost function in their hind legs, very scary, an obvious neurological food poisoning. They ate late, about 10pm and had about 3 cans each, by 2am they were falling down and couldn't walk. This food is not cheap and the factory conditions that I've read about are absolutely disgusting. They have already been fined $168K, but they are still producing this poisonous crap. Don't feed this to your dogs!

    Dear Vickie,

    We have reached out to you many times through email and phone as we take the safety of our foods very seriously, but have had no response. We tested the foods you used by a lab, and the test results came back as sterile for both samples, had a negative result for any growth, good pH levels and no swelling of the can. After speaking with your Vet, he indicated to us that the cause for your dogs' sickness was related to eating mushrooms. We hope the dogs are doing well, nevertheless.

    I have recently purchased the dog dry food by Evangers. I never knew they even had dry dog food, I was so impressed with the added probiotics and the glucosamine and chondroitin. I bought the Grain Free Chicken and Sweet Potato because it is for all dogs (old and young) and my dogs love sweet potato! After reading the ingredients and seeing my pets gobble it up, I am convinced that they will be known for more than their canned dog food very soon. It's just harder to find the dry food. My dog simply loves Hunk of Beef.

    When my shih-tzu rescue dog developed a sensitive stomach I used to go to the veterinarian's office to purchase their medical grade dog food. I became tired of the time involved as well as the expense, so one day I purchased Evanger's lamb and rice dog food dinner. Much to my surprise, my dog loved it and it worked as well as the vet's food to alleviate her stomach woes. I thought that other dog owners would like to know that they don't have to rush to see their vets, but should try Evanger's lamb and rice when their dogs have sensitive stomachs.
