Rachael Ray Nutrish Zero Grain Turkey & Potato Dog Food {Review}

What are the benefits of a Limited Ingredient/Grain Free Recipe?

Some dogs just do better on a diet with Limited Ingredients that is free from grain and gluten. Over time, some dogs will develop food intolerances or allergies to commonly used protein sources, so Rachael Ray along with a team of pet nutrition experts, created a pet food made with simple, natural ingredients that doesn't contain any grains, glutens or fillers. Farm-raised turkey is always the number one ingredient, combined with wholesome vegetables. 

Thanks to celebrity chef Rachael Ray, she offers a dog food line that focuses on grain and filler free ingredients. Her kibble focuses on list of ingredients begin with two healthy turkey ingredients.

Okay, so I wouldn't say that Nutrish is a premium-quality dog food. It does contain chicken meal and animal fat, but in much smaller quantities than you’d normally find in a grocery-store pet food. I’d consider it a “high quality” dog food, which is just perfect for keeping your dog healthy and fit.

Why did Rachael Ray develop a grain-free recipe?

Like you, Rachael Ray wants the best for furry family members like her Isaboo. That's why she worked with a team of pet nutrition experts to create Nutrish® Zero Grain™, a pet food made with simple, natural ingredients that doesn't contain any grains, glutens or fillers. U.S. farm-raised turkey is always the number one ingredient, as it's easily digestible and may help to avoid an allergic response to food allergies. Carefully selected ingredients like whole potatoes, peas and tapioca are the easily digestible vegetable carbohydrates in Zero Grain. It's a natural and wholesome grain-free food that may be more allergy-friendly for your dog. Plus, Zero Grain is available where you currently shop for your family's groceries, and proceeds benefit Rachael's Rescue™ — an organization that helps animals in need.

Why would I want to feed a grain-free food for my dog?

Dogs' natural diets are low in grains. And while carbohydrates are an important part of their diet, they shouldn't be the staple of a healthy, balanced dog diet. That's why real meat is the number one ingredient in all Rachael Ray Nutrish® foods for dogs. Some dogs also have grain and gluten allergies that can cause skin irritations or other problems. These dogs can benefit from a natural, grain-free and gluten-free diet like Nutrish® Zero Grain™, which removes the grain and gluten allergens. Nutrish® Zero Grain Turkey & Potato Recipe is a natural food that doesn't contain any grains, glutens, by-products, fillers or artificial ingredients, so it may be a more easily digestible and allergy-friendly option for your dog.

How do I switch my dog from his regular food to Zero Grain™?

It's easy to switch your pet to Nutrish® Zero Grain™! Slowly mix Zero Grain with his other food over a 5- to 10-day period until your dog is solely eating Nutrish Zero Grain. Once your dog is only eating Nutrish Zero Grain, keep in mind that feeding guidelines on the bag are a guide. Your dog's individual needs will vary based upon his size, his activity level and even his age. And overfeeding is a common source of digestive upset. Be sure to check your dog's weight and adjust feeding levels to maintain a healthy weight. And don't forget to see your vet regularly.

Bailee's Barks In

Bailee gave it her Bark Of Approval! She easily transitioned from her previous food to Zero Grain and is now enjoying her Turkey and Potato Recipe dog food.

As a pet parent, the ingredients are well balanced, healthy and a good fit for my dog. As a young doggy, she is very active and has a ton of energy, so we wanted to find a dog food that was suitable for her growing need and we found it with this new dog food. In addition, we have noticed that her coat of fur look shiny and feels extra soft. I can definitely see the benefit of this newly introduced dog food. Overall, we are completely satisfied with Rachael Ray's Nutrish Zero Grain Turkey and & Potato recipe dog food.  Bailee final bark... four PAWS UP!
