Addiction Dog Food

[i am a giraffe]

Has anyone tried or heard of this brand of dog food? I was searching for some variety and I stumbled across this, but wanted to run it by you guys to make sure.

Yes!!!!

I have used their canned foods and LOVE THEM!
Ella INHALES their canned foods.
I get the unagi and brushtail.

I also have a bag of their Kangaroo and apples, but Ella is not too excited about that and it smells like popourri.

It's supposed to be a food good for allergy dogs, that's what attracted me to it to begin with.

Excellent. What caught my eye was the kangaroo and eel that they use. Didn't know anyone ate kangaroos.

 

[Chewbecca]

It's supposed to be a really lean red meat...I think...I hope I'm not confusing it with goat.

I love Addiction. Both dogs enjoy the cans, though Gus turns up his nose at the Onagi one until he decides it REALLY is all he's getting- he's not a seafood fan. My allergy dog has tried the Kangaroo and Apple, and while it's kind of hard to find and expensive for using all the time, I like it as a rotation with other foods I use for him.

I really like the Addiction line based on the ingredients. I have never fed any of their formulas, dry or canned, so I have no firsthand experience.

I have access to their dry foods which are very reasonably priced here and have considered them in the past, but went in a different direction.

I don't know the dog food but yes, kangaroo's get eaten, they're a pest in some places in Aussie. No idea what it tastes like but just confirming..

Man there's this random great kibble out there, and I just can't get it locally. I should thank my lucky stars Orijen is plentyfull.. Just *whine* there's other great stuff too

I'm going to be ordering some more of these foods today, or possibly tomorrow.

I add a bit more food to Ella's rotation in the winter months to keep weight on her.
And she does well on these foods.

They smell DELICIOUS, too.

I feed mostly raw food, but use about a can of the Addiction Brushtail a week, and keep it on hand for emergencies. My toy terrier has food allergies, and the Brushtail seems fine for him. There is no grain in it, which I like, also. I found the company has good customer service when I got a fast reply to an email question. (I wanted to be sure that they were testing their vitamin D levels to verify that they did not go over recommended amounts in addition to testing to be sure they made the AAFCO minimums. They said that they did do that and told me the levels they test for at both ends.)

I went to order more of these food and the store I normally get it from does NOT carry the unagi anymore nor the brushtail.

That stinks when you get a good food lined up and then all of a sudden the store's distributor stops carrying the line! I was all set to try a Pinnacle product when my dog's allergies were acting up and that happened to me. The store was willing to buy a whole case and just let me try a couple of cans to see how it worked out, but it never happened due to the line getting dropped. (We are somewhat rural so off a lot of distribution routes.)

If you are sure that the Addiction will work out for you, I think they do mail order and maybe even with shipping costs, it would not be more that buying by the can.

They have an online store at addictionfoods.com, but I did note they do not sell to NY state, for some reason, so hope you're not there.

Newbie here and stumbled upon this!
What a coincidence, I do feed my dog Addiction and have been doing so over the last couple of years. He started having bad itchy skin which is why I had changed his diet to Addiction, and noticed that his condition got a lot better after a few months.
I had started feeding the brushtail canned, but have recently started him on the raw dehydrated which he really loves.
