Finding a good dog food in a convenient location can be a challenge. One of my kid’s chores is to feed our dogs every day. The downside to giving that responsibility to our children is that too many times I find myself having to dash to the pet store to pick up dog food because they used the last of it yesterday and didn’t mention we ran out.
Many times I am already at Walmart when I get an urgent text to pick up more dog food. Unfortunately, we don’t buy kibbles at the grocery store because usually whatever we pick up will upset their stomachs. It’s a 20-minute drive to the local pet store where we normally shop. So, when I learned that Nature’s Recipe Dog Food was new and available for purchase at Walmart I did a little happy dance.
We have a large boxer and a small Chihuahua, they make an adorable combination. However, that means we have to buy two separate bags of good quality dog food and that can get pricy. So, you can see my excitement about Nature’s Recipe Dog Food being sold at Walmart. There are a few factors you don’t want to overlook when purchasing dry dog food: an animal protein or meal listed first, grain free, vegetables, and the proper size for the dog. While there are many more factors that are also important, if you are looking for an affordable dog food that isn’t low quality then this is where you start.
The first ingredient in Nature’s Recipe Small Bites Chicken Meal and Rice is chicken meal. Chicken is a great source of animal protein, but it can be heavy. Chicken meal, on the other hand, supports the protein in the chicken without being as dense. Chicken meal contains bone, skin, and tissue in addition to meat. This allows more protein in the food with less moisture.
The grains used are rice, barley, and oatmeal. Each of these grains is high in fiber. There is no wheat or corn in the ingredients. The vegetables used are tomato pomace. If you keep reading the ingredients you will see it is full of vitamins that encourage your dog to grow strong, like beta carotene and folic acid, followed by minerals like zinc and calcium. Nature’s Recipe dog food also comes with a guaranteed analysis of ingredient ratios. This means each time you buy a bag of food you know it is full of the same healthy nutrients as the last time.
Since the ingredients looked good the next step was to make sure it passed my dog’s test. We gave our little Chihuahua a bowl following the suggested serving size on the package.
He sniffed around for a little bit before decided the food was up to snuff and started gobbling the little kibbles down. We had a winner. When it comes to convenience and affordability, Nature’s Recipe Dog Food seems to pass the test as a healthier option for your dog that won’t break the bank.
Ready to try it out with your dog? Check out Nature’s Recipe on Walmart for more information, then head to your local store to grab a bag!
We are label readers when it comes to choosing dog food because our fur baby cannot have any grain. I will recommend this though to my family and friends. Looks like a good brand to feed their dogs.
Looks like a good brand of dog food, however, my dog cannot have rice or any grain for the matter because it gives him an upset stomach and itchy skin. I will recommend this to my niece though. Her beagle would eat anything!
We’ve never tried this one for our dog. Mine love Nutrish dog food, they seem to like it without allergies.
I love when a regular errand becomes even more convenient. Glad to hear you can now get your dog food at WalMart.
We don’t currently have a dog as a pet but the kiddos has been wanting to get one. I will have to remember to get this brand.
It’s so important to for my family to give our dogs the best food we can! This looks like a really great option!
This seems really good and the dogs would love it. The fact that they have the right sized kibbles that suit the size of the mouths makes it more convenient. The cost is reasonable too for the quality they provide.
We’ve been eyeing this brand to try it. Once we finish the other food we will be trying this one.
We are always very careful with what we feed our dogs, I want them to have quality food too. The Natures Recipe is a great option for them without it being too expensive.
This sounds like a really good dog food. The cost of dog food can add up over time so it’s great to know there are budget friendly alternatives out there!
I’m a dog lover! Sometimes, I’m worried about what proper food to feed my furry friend. I’ll remember this food.
The Natures Recipe dog food is something I may have to try on my dog. I never knew what chicken meal was but it does sound like a great source of protein. Thanks for sharing the information.
It is so important to feed your pets quality food. After all, they are part of the family. I will look for this brand at Walmart.
What a great sounding food, a good quality food really does make a difference to a dogs whole wellbeing.
That looks like a great choice for your little Chihuahua! I love that there are healthy and affordable choices for our dogs at Walmart.
I so miss my Ernest and he would’ve loved this dog food. I like the idea of smaller bites for pups.
We unfortunately lost our dog awhile back and haven’t made up our minds if we are getting another one or not. Nice to see another store is carrying a good brand of dog food.
I’ll have to try this for my dog, Max. I love that it’s available at Walmart and that it doesn’t have artificial colors or flavors. It’s so important to me to feed my dog the best.
Wow! I gotta get more info about this. I am so conservative when it comes to my dog food. But thanks for sharing this!
The little kibbles are perfect for storing. The larger chunks give me a challenge. Happy to see this is at Walmart.
We don’t have any pets but my parents and sister do. I’m glad that Walmart offers great quality for affordable price.
I will have to try a bag of this for my dog. I like that it doesn’t have artificial flavors or colors. Our dog is getting older, and I think we really need to switch to a better food for him.
I don’t have a dog but I’ll share it with my friends who owns a dog. I’m sure her dog will love these kibbles.
Will get this food into home for my dog. Hop she would like it. General she is very choosy over the food, sometimes she doesn’t eat for days this hing worries me. I hope this food will work.
Dog food can be so expensive, especially quality dog food. Wish they had this brand when I had our puppy.
I don’t have a dog but I have been thinking about getting a puppy. If I do, I know that I will want to feed a quality dog food like this one. Feeding your pet a food with real ingredients and not fillers is very important.
It’s been quite a while since we last owned a dog. It’s good to know where to find quality food for them. I’ve never tried this brand before and should we own a dog soon, it would be nice to give it a try.
Nature’s Recipe seems like a great food for dogs. I don’t have a dog, but my sister does, ill have to let her know about this brand!
This looks like some great flavored meal for dogs. However, my fur baby cannot have dog food with any kind of grain in it. His skin gets so itchy. Poor pooch. I will recommend this to my niece though. Her beagle, Tofu, would love this.
When it comes to feeding our pets, both the price and the recipe are so important. I remember using this brand for our dogs when I was a kid.
We LOVE this brand of dog food. We also love another brand we found but it was far too expensive.
This brand is suppose to be really good for pets. I am going to have to check it out. My dog likes the softer texture foods.
I love how natural this brand is. I don’t like too many fillers in our dog’s food.
We have been eyeing this brand for a while. We haven’t tried it yet though.
I like the texture of this dog food. I think that the little kibbles encourage dogs to eat “somewhat” slower, rather than just gulping down big pieces of food.
I wish I had known about this sooner! Our dog can’t have wheat products and most of the foods we have to buy her are so expensive.
This stuff looks awesome! We aren’t really happy with our dog’s food at the moment so maybe a gradual switch to Nature’s Recipe is in order. Love that you can get it at Walmart too!
I’ve been looking for a new dog food to try! This looks like a tasty and affordable solution!
It’s so important that your pet likes what you feed. I love to see products available in Walmart, it’s so convenient to buy there and skip a stop at a specialty store.
I won’t just feed my dogs anything. I am peculiar about what foods they eat. I like their foods to be all natural if at all possible, with real meat and veggies, not by-products. Nature’s Recipe sounds like it would be one that I would feed them.
Every dog deserves the best food and Nature’s Recipe sounds great. Since it is sold at Walmart, picking some up should be super simple too.
Having a good quality dog food is so important. I am impressed with Purina’s commitment to quality in their products.
I’m glad your Chihuahua was happy with the new food. I’m liking that it uses real high-quality protein. That’s important!
That sounds like a great brand of dog food. I will keep this in mind if we get another dog.
