Dr. Harvey'sCanine Health Miracle Dog Food, Human Grade Dehydrated Base Mix for Dogs with 9 Vegetables and 6 Organic Whole Grains (10 Pounds)

My 10yr lab/bloodhound mix ho is 65 lbs was diagnosed early May 2025 with first stage or start of kidney failure- it was horrible news. The vet sent us out with 8lbs of hills Kd food for 60.00. She wouldn’t eat it. I tried adding the canned kid food to the kibble..still meh on food and the cans are 7.00 each, so I started researching- I found this base. I added about 5-6 oz of slow cooked chicken beast in water and shedded it out. Added organic steamed baby carrots…and mushroom powder along with omega 3 fish oil to her food. The big thing with kidney failure is HYDRATION…and here’s how I tweak her diet after her 1 month check up we just had. The vet thought I was definitely doing wrong by dog feeding her a “homage diet” he really put that down UNTIL her bloodwork came back 30 mins later. Her Bun was back to normal. Her protein was down 3 points and she’d lost 2lbs. So the vet was thrilled and told me to keep doing what I’m doing but reduce her to 1.5 oz of chicken per meal, add rice for carbs to keep her weight up and add beans to her food. So I’m now slow cooking her beans (more hydration) rice (more hydration) and I just hit Phos-bind In. That will attach to the proteins in blood and force it it when uses the bathroom. This reduces the phosphorus in her blood created from animal proteins- she can have all the vegetable proteins she wants. And now I’m cutting her omega 3 oil in 1/2 and using evoo or flaxseed oil to her food daily. This base mix is 50% hydration - my dog in 2 weeks from starting this diet is drinking normally again. Had not incontinence issues anymore and boy is she back to 100% of her energetic self. She loves the food, loves the rice, carrots and beans. I cook it all myself because you don’t want the sodium of pre made. We go back in 3 months and see what her bloodwork says. But this food and the trouble of cooking all her food and bathing each item separately is really worth it. I do see the improvement in her before adding the beans and carbs last night. I can’t wait to try the phosphorus binder. I just want her happy and pain free as long as I am blessed to have her. BadThe 10 lbs bag last about 6 weeks for me with a large dog. The cost of everything is about 1/2 or more than if I was buying hills kibble and canned food. Nope not healthy for them. Kibble is the devil for real. It hurts their bodies. It over cooked and not moist. I need to find her some kind of hard thing to scraper teeth to eat. Bones are no due to animal products…but she’s so much happier. No more waking me up to go out 3 times a night. Or wetting the bed (happened 2 times/ first time I took her in that week to the vet- she’s never wet the bed In Life) I hope this review helps. I wax overwhelmed and spent 1.5 weeks researching hours a day on how to best approach kidney failure/ disease in dogs. I’m glad I tried this food. It’s a life saver. I wish I’d feed her this since I got her at 7 weeks old. I doubt we’d be seeing kidney issues now if I’d known better.

My dog has kidney disease and has been prescribed kidney safe dog food - and he refused to eat every single brand. He was wasting away, his coat was dry & scraggly, he was lethargic, & sad. It truly appeared that he was no longer thriving in any way. I was devastated.Out of pure frustration, I started googling different food options & found Dr Harveys, who offered a free sample. Because my dog is small it was enough for about week of food. I follow the directions, gave it to my dog, and for the first time in many, many months, he immediately ate & then are all of his food. I just couldn't believe it.I went ahead and bought the bigger bag hoping that it wasn't a fluke. Since then, my dog has eaten all of his food at every meal!!! Within several weeks everything changed for him.My dog, it's like a whole new dog! His coat is full, shiny & soft. He is running around and happy again... It almost feels like I haven't seen him like this since he was a puppy. Before I thought he was pretty close to death and now I know that we have more years ahead with him.I feel so good giving this food to my sweet boy. I love that everything is organic and whole. I love that he is getting his healthy fats from coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil. I love that I am able to rotate different kinds of protein for him.He goes for a check up next week & I can't wait to see his bloodwork results.I'm forever grateful to Dr Harvey!

This is very high-quality dog food. Everything is reconstituted in hot water and then you add protein and some oil. My dogs normally love it but every once in a while, they get tired of it and I wish there was a different flavor that I could give them. Even switching up the protein doesn’t really work when they get picky.

So I have the pickiest eater ever a mini labradoodle and also she has a throwing up issue (still trying to figure that one out) our vet seems to think the yellow bile she throws up is due to a kind of cyclical vomiting problem when her stomach is empty...Anyway we always top our Dr. Harvey's with fish that we buy either from Costco or local...she is so much better at eating and vomiting has greatly reduced.

This is the best dog food you can feed your dogs, just add meat. I have been feeding this for a little over a month and they have lost weight, the coats are shiny and the tarter buildup on their teeth is gone, and they have more energy. They also have less elimination to pick up after.

Both my dogs had serious issues with their bowels and this has far surpassed my expectations. Both are doing so well (knock on wood) and they don’t get bored bc I change out the protein a lot so it’s always different and delish for them.

Oh my gosh this food is the best! I have 4 dogs and none of them ever like the same food! It has always been a huge issue. I bought this food, add fish oil, use grass fed beef and put it all in the blender, my dogs do nuts! Their energy is off the charts, and they beg for more. Not sure what they put in this-dog crack-but it’s the best food I have bought! Definitely will keep buying! Thank you!!!!!
