Live, naturally occurring microorganisms are then gently sprayed on after the cooling process…. More >>
Started buying this product 4 months ago after the whole “Canidae” issue (Im sure that I am not the only one who noticed what the “new and improved” Canidae formula did to their dog). Anyways, took no time for my lab to get adjusted to this food; looks and acts just like he did before. Very happy to have found a great alternative.

I tried 20 different dog foods for my Maltese that are prone to allergies.
With this food they get to eat less and maintain their optimum weight.
The Maltese stopped scratching and biting himself. I have read on many web sites that the Evo diet is the best in the world. My Maltese and my Golden Retriever maintained there ideal weight and their coats were beautiful.
The food is a bit more expensive than the junk food with all the fillers but my dogs are worth it. With a little research you can find it at great prices.
The main thing is if you have any dog with allergies this will cure it.
Good luck

First I will say I love most Innova Evo products and feed my three Miniature Schnauzers the chicken formula which was the original recipe.
Before I had found Evo, my Miniature Schnauzers were fed a RAW diet (aka BARF)which was great but unfortunately one of the girls started getting sick on raw chicken because of the fat content.
Innova Evo’s red meat recipe came out much later than the Innova Evo’s chicken formula and I decided to try it to give them a change of taste. Unfortunately two of my dogs couldn’t take the change even though I did it on a very gradual reduction of Innova Evo’s chicken formula to Innova Evo’s red meat formula.
Any little amount of the Innova Evo’s red meat formula (10% Innova Evo’s Red Meat to 90% Innova Evo’s Chicken) gave two of my Schnauzers bad diarrhea after eating it and after a week of trying to convert them all gradually I decided that it wasn’t worth it and took it to back to the store where I purchased it from and they allowed me to trade it for the chicken formula. I placed all of my Schnauzers back on Innova Evo’s chicken formula and they were fine.
I don’t know why Innova Evo’s Red Meat formula caused two of my Miniature Schnauzers diarrhea (each time I fed them this) but I don’t think it’s the red meat, I think it’s what ever else is mixed in with the red meat which may have caused it or perhaps I just had a bad batch.
The reason I believe this is because I have given all three Schnauzers meaty beef neck bones before in the past and they were fine.
Whatever it is I’m not going to try Innova’s EVO Red Meat formula again and take my chance.

I feed my pets raw food only, however on occasion they do get evo. They have no issues with this food. It’s the only dry food I would consider giving my pets, because I would never give them foods that contain grains or by products. I am not a fan of dry food in general but I would recommend this brand because raw food is not right for everyone.

It totally makes sense that dogs are carnivorous so we should be feeding them a meat type diet. However, one must look at what their dog was bred for. Many of the toy breeds were bred to be companions and fed foods from their owners plates and pantries, so the meat theory doesn’t really apply to such breeds. Such was the case with my Scottish Terrier/Chihuahua mix. I was all for the meat theory and tried to feed her this food but her little stomach just couldn’t handle so much protein. It just seemed too rich for her. Also, her breath began to smell terrible! I’ve switched to another all natural/fit for human consumption type of dry puppy food and her stomach and system are back to normal. That being said, my daughter has an Airdale Terrier and feeds her the regular Innova dog food, is very pleased, and would never use anything else. This manufacturer certainly seems dedicated to producing all natural pet food with no by-products. So- good brand, high quality, but each dog is different and so are their dietary needs. I suggest always purchasing the smallest available size bag and testing it first (with any brand of dog food).
