American Journey Dog Food Review

Featuring real, deboned salmon, this grain free dry dog food recipe is both delicious and nutritious, making it a great all-round meal for active adult dogs. The salmon is not only a high-quality source of protein, but also gives your dog an omega fatty acid boost, to support their energy as well as eye and brain health.  

Sweet potatoes are also a key ingredient, packed full of fiber and vitamins, alongside well-balanced carbs and veggies such as carrot and kelp. The grain free salmon recipe also makes it highly digestible and kinder on more sensitive tums. It is also corn, wheat and soy free and has no unnecessary fillers. The result is a tasty, nutritious recipe that makes it a bestseller in the American Journey dog food range.

On the go dogs need a dog food that sustains their energy, while ensuring they get all the nutrients they need for good health.

Whole chicken is the number one protein, which is excellent for energy as well as sustaining healthy bones and muscles. Enhanced with chicken meal, for a concentrated protein boost, and this dry dog food also has a taste and texture your active pooch will love.

And while it is good for sustaining their energy, Active Life doesn’t neglect their other nutritional needs. It has a well-balanced blend of brown rice for fiber and vitamins, as well selected veg, including sweet potato and carrots. And it is easy to digest too, thanks to the added ‘good’ grains such as barley. With no artificial flavors, preservatives or ingredients, this is an affordable, wholesome dog food for active, happy dogs.
