Ultimate Pet Nutrition Omdömen 

still have not received ord-170673890 or communication on status.

I never received any orders yet. Can’t leave a review yet

My 4 dogs LOVE it. But its price for how much you feed is out of most people’s price range. I use it as an add in to dry food because I have very large dogs and can’t afford to feed just this

The girls love the beef & chicken flavors. What concerns me is that I’ve been giving them the recommended amount of food based on the package chart, per their weight, but they are gaining weight.
Not sure what the next steps should be.

She's a golden retriever. She loves food.

Ernie really loves the chicken. He will eat the beef but not a big fan. Guess we’ll have to stay with the chicken.

Delivery is really terrible. The food takes far too long to arrive. On top of that, today, my order that I’ve already waiting a week for, was sent to the wrong address!

The CS rep was terrific, but I have to wait another seven business days for the product. That kind of order-to-delivery time is enough to make me reconsider staying with the company.

It’s a serious issue in today’s Chewy/Amazon next-day-delivery world.

I hope you consider this.

Our puppies love it after we soak it for 2-3 minutes in warm water. They have been pretty picky as we’ve gone through fresh foods, frozen foods, and “canned” foods. We finally settled on Ultimate and they love it.

Pets love the food. I didn’t love my latest experience. Ordered 4 of the 48oz bags and received only 3. The packing slip in the box matched my order of 4. I used your text feature and the person was not helpful. Claimed they were waiting on the shipping team to respond and she said she would email. Did hear anything for 4 days. Called and the support team there was great and sent my missing bag out that day. Makes me nervous about putting in another order.

Before I go any further, please note that the critique below applies specifically to the NUTRA COMPLETE BEEF RECIPE.

If you happen to read the Ingredient List on the package, you will notice it doesn’t mention any calcium supplement (in contrast to most other dog food brands, which include supplements such as “calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, di- or tricalcium phosphate, seaweed calcium, or bone meal among their ingredients).

Nutra Beef Recipe lists the following main ingredients: Beef, Beef Liver, Beef Kidney – and then it goes on to list many other nutritional and vitamin supplements, none of which however is a significant source of calcium.

Beef itself has a very low calcium content, and the same is true for beef organs. In contrast, beef bone meal (ground beef bone) is an excellent source of calcium, and wolves in the wild do in fact get their calcium intake by consuming carcass bones. Therefore, dog foods that include bone meal are considered adequate sources of calcium. However, the Nutra Complete Beef Recipe doesn't mention beef bone meal among its ingredients. Moreover, the Guaranteed Analysis on the package doesn’t specify any minimum Calcium or Phosphorus percentages.
The way things stand, Buyers are left completely in the dark regarding the calcium content of this food. And if the formula doesn’t contain an adequate amount of calcium and is being used as a principal source of food, this could result in a disastrous calcium deficiency (and calcium/phosphate imbalance) for your dog.

I started looking into this matter as my dog began to show signs of fatigue and muscle twitching after about 2 months of eating Nutra Complete Beef as his main source of food. After switching to a different food formula (which did have a calcium supplement), the above symptoms disappeared.
I contacted Ultimate Pet Nutrition Support regarding the Calcium content in their Beef Recipe, but my questions were met with a snide and condescending attitude, and practically no concrete answer (in essence, ‘We don’t disclose the formulation details of our products. please let us know if you need assistance with anything else.”)

I subsequently managed to locate the owner of the company Dr. Gary Richter, DVM on the web, and addressed the question to him directly via the Chat feature on his website. Dr. Richter replied to my question stating that calcium supplements were not necessary in the above-mentioned food, since beef itself provided the necessary calcium amount, and that all Nutra foods were reviewed by a nutritionist for adequate composition.
I was appreciative to at least get an answer to the point of my question, but again, as already stated above, beef itself (in the absence of beef bone meal) supplies a very low amount of calcium. I know this as I myself am a physician and have worked in the Nutrition and Weight Management domain.

Therefore, my concerns about the Beef Recipe persisted, and I stopped feeding my dog this formula as his principal food source. Instead, I switched him to the Chicken Recipe (which does have calcium carbonate mentioned among its ingredients). I stuck with Nutra food since my dog really enjoys eating it, he loves the taste.
In any case, a few months passed by, and my dog was doing fine on the Nutra Chicken. Then as I was out of town, the bag ran out and my husband temporarily switched to on old Nutra Beef leftover. When I returned home 2 weeks later, I found my dog once again twitching and low on energy.
At this point, I decided to post this review of Nutra Complete Beef Recipe, in order to warn other users of the potential hazard.

To do Nutra Complete justice, I must mention that most of their other flavors (i.e., Chicken, Turkey, Pork, Duck) do in fact mention some type of calcium supplement in their ingredient list, and seem to be overall good quality products, for which I would probably give a 3-4 star review. As far as their guaranteed analysis, however, none of the Nutra dog foods specify their calcium and phosporus percentages, or any other mineral percentages.

I just wanted to share the above, because it's good to have one's eyes open as to potential risks. Hoping other dog parents find it helpful.

Food agrees with my older dog and his skin issues are better. Have two other dogs and saw no difference. Food is very expensive and I will probably have to switch to something more cost effective. Delivery time is horrible - 10 days for delivery is not acceptable these days.

I read all the reviews about Ultimate Pet Nutrition and decided to buy it for my "grand"dog since she is a fussy eater and often had diarrhea.
WOW, what a difference this food made. She now eats every drop of her food and has normal solid poops. I am very impressed with this food. She is only 2 so it is hard to tell if it helps her be more energetic like some reviews said.

Our 9 1/2 year old Golden Retriever loves the food! She only gets it in the morning but she can’t wait for the food in her dish.

I'm upset that the orders take too long to arrive because then I have to go back to my dogs original food of Pure Balance wet and dry. My dogs seem to like your food but I don't see any real changes in them so I may just cancel all orders, but not sure yet. How long does it really take to notice a difference in my 3 dogs?

I placed an order on July 4 and I still have not received it. Apparently the shipping company that is being used doesn’t have a very good tracking system so I can’t track the package I have. Now run out of the dog food and I have to go and buy it at a local pet shop. You should recon seriously consider another shipper. I’ve received packages from China in less time. Not very impressed with your company. I will have to reconsider whether I go forward with the subscription.

My dog Marley absolutely loves the freeze- dried food. I think that the Chicken flavor is her favorite because the chicken teats "disappear" in no time. She will not eat any other "kibble". When Marley's freeze dried food ran out it looked like she would rather "starve" than eat other food. We had to give her food scraps and wet cat food until her order came.

I think the food is great. My dogs on the other hand have totally quit eating the food.

First class service and great products. Been purchasing this product for several months and my 2 dogs just loved it. They use to be difficult to feed.( they are bichon and very picky). Now it is a charm. They jump up and down when it’s time to eat. They also have a lot more energy. They are 9 years old but they started playing again. Lot more energy. Thanks for a great product

Initially, my Aussie, 5yr female, like the product as I had gotten the variety pack with an additional three bags of beef flavor. I noticed that she began to turn up her nose, so to speak, after the second beef bag. I figured that it was because our Aussie pup had different food. So, we mixed a little puppy kibble in her food too.

I reordered another batch of food but, somehow missed getting the mixed flavors in the three bag order but, thought “Hey, there a promotional order for six bags, I will just mix flavors in that batch”. Nope, that opportunity wasn’t offered. So, when I noticed the error, I asked to cancel the order. Wow! That shipment was out the door in record time and I would need a return authorization plus pay shipping to return it.

So, I will offer my older dog the food for as long as she will take it. After that, I will gift the remainder to a neighbor or a shelter and cancel my account.

Thanks for letting try the product but, this taster declined the product after a few weeks.

Sincerely,
Scott R.

Pet is dancing for the food and consuming total. Now more energetic, playful with shine to her coat. She’s six plus years old, and acts like a puppy.
