Eagle Pack

I have two Great Danes an 11 year old male and a 7 month old Female. I was not familiar with Eagle Pack until the breeder that we obtained our female puppy from recommended it. I have switched our 11 year old to large breed adult formula and he is behaving like a puppy again. The growth and conformation on our puppy is amazing. I will never switch back to another premium dog food'

An update on my wonderful Golden Retriever: who for most of his life (he was a rescue from the SPCA so I don't know what he ate his first 8 months) ate nothing but Eagle Pack Holistic Select Fish flavor dog food. He was euthanized last month, just days after turning 7, due to probable cancer, and problems too numerous to name. I blame the Eagle Pack Holistic Fish flavor dog food. He was perfectly fine until the company changed hands. If I can ever bring myself to rescue another Golden, I'll feed him people food! There are plenty of dog food cookbooks and help available. I'm convinced it's the only way to go. Please, if your dog is having problems with Eagle Pack Holistic, call the company and tell them about it. Tell the store where you purchased the food. Tell everyone you know that it's not the same company and great food it used to be. Please find something else to feed your pet.

My dog had eaten Eagle Pack Holistic Chicken Meal & Rice dry dog food since 11-2004. She ate the rebranded Wellpet Holestic Select Chicken & Rice recipe a few days ago and had loose stools till I bought a different brand of dog food 4 days later. I don't know what changed in the food, but my dog's stomach could tell.

I am giving this a neutral rating for now because I haven't actually tried it on my dogs. However I work in a pet store in jax, fl and sell tons of the holistic line, haven't ever had someone come back and complain about it. The ingredients aren't the best nor the worst out there. I do agree I'm tired of the price increases like many other posters. We also get samples from the supplier just like all the other brands we carry like wellness, canidae, solid gold, etc. These are FREE samples they send with our regular orders, no "cuts". It's ridiculous to assume that we get money for handing out samples. In my store we ask as many questions as possible about each dog before handing a sample to customers based on the info. No one can predict how their dog will react on a different food. There is no one food fits all

I got a Great Dane. He was fed on Diamond dog food before I got him at 2 months. I chose to feed him Eagle Pack because I heard good things about it (I also ignored the bad reviews about dogs skin thinning and turning red). Within a week his skin was turning red, he was itching all the time, and b/c of his nails....itched himself raw....this lasted for 2 months until we switched him back to Diamond dog food. Within 2 weeks his skin began to return to normal and over the next few weeks the itching started to shorten between episodes. We still get itching episodes in the morning, but that has been it....I think as an effect from the Eagle Pack. I think the reason is b/c the breeder has fed his parents, grandparents, and great grandparents on Diamond that Diamond is the best for him. Before getting a Great Dane....maybe ask what dog food has been fed to his previous relatives. I know for everyone it is different results, but I think what has been fed previously may be the answer a... Read more

Our rescued miniature schnauzer had been on an California Natural dry food / Eagle Pack Holistic soft food combo for almost a year. Within the past 3 months, she had started to vomit. After vet checks, routing temp checks, and more, we couldn't figure out what she was allergic to. It never crossed our minds that the "all natural food" could be the cause. Finally we took our schnauzer on vacation with us for the holidays. We only packed her California Natural dry food. For five days, she only ate her dry food and her training treats. We left the Eagle Pack at home and she didn't vomit. Sure enough when we returned home, we fed her the Eagle Pack and she puked again. I'm not familiar with the sellout of Eagle Pack to Wellness, but the Holistic Soft Food is not the same as before.

I have two different breeds of Mastiffs. My oldest is a 23 month Dogue De Bourdeaux, and the baby is a 11 month Cane Corso. I have went through trial and error with kibbles. From FlintRiver, Royal Canin, Natural Balance. My oldest developed skin problems, So after I took him to the vet for the problem, he suggested vet RX Royal Canin, which he refused to eat. So I switched him back to Eagle Pack, and to my suprise his skin is clearing up. For those that feel Eagle Pack is worthless. Just remember each dog is different. Some dogs will tolerate Eagle, and some will not. I was lucky enough , that both my Mastiffs tolerate Eagle Pack, and I will continue to use it, until they stop eating it. At times, I spruce up the flavor of Eagle Pack , by adding cooked oatmeal, or homemade broth. Sometimes our pets get bored with eating the same food everyday. I have learned the average canine is just like raising a child. It is all trial and error, as I have stated before.

I was feeding my active/working shepherd and Alaskan husky Innova Evo. I thought it was the best food money could buy and wanted only the best for my dogs. But my husky always had loose and very smelly stool on the Evo. The shepherd was fine, but she loves all food! I switched to Eagle Pack Power Formula, and my husky's stools almost immediately improved. Which is a good thing. And the price is another good thing, only $40 for 40 lbs, can't get better than that! I will probably switch to another performance dog 30/20 food once in a while to keep up the variety, but I am very happy with how they are doing on it so far. I also supplement with raw chicken, eggs and yogurt. I've been reading some of the reviews for this food recently, and, as some people already stated, you can not attribute everything to food! Shedding, vomiting, urine crystals, all can be caused by a variety of different things, most not food (as in what you actually feed your dog, not what he picks up off the ground) r... Read more

I stand corrected on my information that EAGLE PACK was purchased by Diamond products in Lathrop, CA.... The source that informed me of that was a "manager" at a local Pet Store here in Antioch, CA. I don't know the facts, but assume it is still being manufactured in its original location. I apologize for that misinformation... The problem I am having with Eagle, is my 16 mo old Berner doesn't like it, so he will eat the alternate food in the bowl. Basically he eats around it. Otherwise, I have to put cottage cheese, can food, yogurt, whatever and mix it in. So, the search for a good food and one that makes the dogs happy is on!

Hi my name is Cate and I am the owner of Pawlicious Pets. Before you attack me and my "pet shop" please get your facts straight first. I actually spent alot of time with you trying to assist you in helping your gorgeous dog. I offered you a sample pack of Eagle Pack as many of my customers have had great success with the product. You made an ignorant and ill informed comment about me getting a cut from the supplier where in fact I get nothing from them. IF you owned your own business in the industry you would know that. I actually contacted Eagle Pack myself and as a nice gesture they offered sample packs to hand out to my customers. Good luck with finding a suitable dry kibble for your dog. I remember you and your partner well beause he seemed really nice and you were such an unattractive looking sour face and I wondered how that worked.

Have to rate this company as bad, overall. Their dry food is corn-laden, carbohydrate heavy, and contains the worthless filler beet pulp. Eagle Pack's Holistic Selects canned food is great stuff, though, with good meats and simple, wholesome formulas. I just wish the same could be said of the dry products.

Hello everyone, First of I want to apologize to one of the people bitching about eagle pack as I doused them with some cynical crap and frankly they do not deserve that, I was just venting some frustration as there are so many people who hap hazardley belch out their opinions on line with absolutely zero regard for the company they are affecting and not withstanding their personal experience most often are less then clueless as to why they had this negative experience. Now while I can say that on occasion whether it is Eagle Pack or Brand X club price rat poison formulated dog food from China.. Our beloved pets can and will experience negative reactions, shit happens. But most of the time it is really not the food, I mean come on people, given the opportunity Dogs eat everything even their own shit and survive just fine! So when something really bad is happening like sever bloating and hemorrhaging or a massive sudden loss of weight or legs going numb or pa... Read more

I went to the pet shop called pawlicious pet in Double Bay. The lady, Kate, gave me a sample pack of Eagle Pack Holistic Duck & Oatmeal. That is a horrible product. My pekingese is on Innova for all time. I only gave him 2 tbsp eagle pack, he diarrhea two times in a night and he vommits in every 15 minutes for 3 hrs. I can't imagine it happened in my dog. Kate told me she only got good comments from Eagle pack. That's the stuff. I'm so disappointed. Even my Vet told me that he had a few cases like that before and they all had Eagle Pack as well. That's crap rubbish ever. Feed ur dog if u wanna kill him. I would not recommend to any pet. Sucks!!! Dun trust too much pet store. They dun know what they are doing. They only recommend the product which they have a better cut.

English Mastif no longer has a yeast infection after changing her diet to Eagle Pack Holistic Select.

Eagle Pack Holistic Anchovy, Sardine and Salmon is great dog food, my greyhound did really well on it. Unfortunately, they raised the price and made the bags smaller, so I switched to Costco's Kirkland Lamb & Rice (with good results). I wish I could still afford the EPH, but $$$ doesn't allow it.

I love Eagle Pack food. Well, not me personally, but our dogs do great on it. I have never had a problem of any sort with the quality of this food. However, I am a little irritated by the constant price increases. Here is another brand that sells 33 pound bags of food for quite a bit more than what you can get a similar quality 40 pound bag for, so even though I have no complaints with Eagle Pack, value wise there are foods of the same quality for less.

We used it as a part of rotation diet,dog loved eat,stool was ok,but there was too much of it,and he got dandruff,so we have switched just to TOW,and now his problems are gone

I have 6 dogs. I switched them about 3 months ago from Wellness to Eagle Pack Natural. After giving this food a good long trial I have found the following differences in my dogs: They have all lost weight (not in a good way) all of the sudden I noticed they're hip points showing and they're ribs are very noticable. I kept feeding them the same amount as I did with the Wellness. Even increasing the amount of food did not help. I cannot get them to put weight on. I even wormed them all thinking the food could not possibly be that bad. One of my pugs whom is prone to allergies all of sudden started getting ear infections and nose fold infections and keeping us awake at night because of him licking himself so much (which he did not do on Wellness). My Boerboel got very bad dandruff and his coat became dull and tacky. I should not have taken them off of Wellness. Dog food has become so expensive, it's ridiculous. This is what happens when you try to save a few bucks. I will ... Read more

This dog food was alife saver for us.Eagle pack Duck and oatmeal.We have 2 labrador and our 2 1/2 year old for the first 8 months of her life was bad. We tried 23 different foods from rice and chicken sweet potato and yogurt tofu and rice and lots of commercial from sensitive to the vet prescription dog food. We found this one when she was eight months old and weighed 30 pounds and we where preparing ourselves that she was not going to survive and then we found Holistic Select Duck Meal & Oatmeal Formula We feel that it saved her life.She can only eat this food no commercial treats or anything else most dogs can eat but she now at the age of 2 1/2 weighs 68 pounds and healthy.A hand full of dog food for a treat when she is a good girl makes her just as happy as a dog treat.Thank goodness for eagle pack our Molly is here and healthy

Have to say, this has been a great dog food for my Mastiffs. I feed Giant/Large Breed adult and puppy formula (regular brand) with excellent results. The pups do not have any growth issues (which can be a huge problem in giant breeds). Adults all have shiney nice coats as well. My dogs are in conformation shows as well as breeding dogs, I have not had any issue with this dog food.I do however switch foods on my adults every 6 mos. and feed PMI Exclusive or Solid Gold Wolf King for 4 mos. before returning to Eagle Pack.Question to people having issues with crystals in the urine, did the dog test negative for Cystnuria yet still had the crystals? Just curious.

I'm so glad this is here! We have been feeding our Lab x Ridgeback Eagle Pack since she was a puppy and we have been very happy knowing that we were giving our baby the best food possible. However, we have now been told that she has crystals in her urine and will have to put her on a special diet for dogs suseptible to UTS even though infection hasn't happened yet (thank goodness). It was the diet we had her on - the one we thought was so spectacular that we always joked that she ate better than we did.

I LOVE Eagle Pack for active Adults. I have 2 Great Danes and everyone knows how important nutrition is for Danes. They thrive on it! I fed it to my prize stud for a year but then lost my job so I had to switch to a cheaper brand. It was horrible! My pride and joy's coat went from smooth and shiny to dull and harsh. He went from 160 lbs to a measly 129 lbs. I couldn't believe it. Now I am switching back and I can't wait to see him and my female get back on track.

I am a breeder of mini dachshunds and I feed this to my crew. They do amazing on it. Bigger litters, higher fertility, more milk supply, bigger babies at birth. Their coats are shiny. I don't have mothers that look like crap after having babies anymore. I absolutely am thrilled with the results!

We have been feeding Eagle Pack (not holistic) for about 3 to 4 months now, and not only do the dogs love it, but so do we! We have 2 Great Pyrenees, (2 yrs., and a 10 month old), and they can't wait for food time! Their coats look good, eyes look bright, and they are more active than most pyrs. Please take the advice of others who have shared how to switch your dogs' food. You need to make a gradual switch, not a sudden one. Also, hot spots or itching are not necessarily issues with their food. It could be your dog is just more prone to having them. All I know, is that our dogs LOVE this stuff. We switched from Canidae. For whatever reason, when we started them on Canidae, they loved it, then they started having loose stools, and just acting kind of droopy. We have not had that problem with Eagle Pack, and we can find it at more stores! Carol

I heard such great things about Eagle Pack Holistic from the Great Dane Lady and ordered the package from a partner site. I've even purchased the kibble from online retailers and driven miles to purchase from a pet store. My Chi's (5 and 7 months) have recently been licking after urination which alarmed me. The vet performed a urinalysis which showed crystals. As of today we are on the Royal Canin prescription diet and hope that the issue subsides. I will not be feeding my babies Eagle Pack although I belief this diet may be greatly helpful for larger breed dogs.

I switched my dogs(bernese mountain, yellow lab, and small beagle, and 2 Chihuahuas)to eagle pack senior hollistic from nutro-ultra. My large dogs are having digestive problems. The small dogs are fine. I used the magic dust crap , but no help. It has been about 3 months since the switch. Anybody have similar trouble with this food?

Our dog has been on Eagle Pack Holistic Chicken and Rice for the past 3 months. In the last few weeks she's been shedding (and has dandruff) like crazy (I've never seen anything like it), and I'm wondering if it's from the food. A lot of other reviewers seem to have the same problem so I think I'll be taking her off it ASAP. Thanks.

My dog hates this food. It gave him diarrhea and was expensive. His coat became dry, the ingredients were gross, and he would hardly touch the stuff. It didn't provide enough nutrients for an active dog, pieces of kibble were too small.

I have fed Eagle Pack HOlistic Chicken and Rice for over a year now and have noticed fuller, shinier, healthier coats, eyes and overall health with my shetland sheepdogs. I will not feed anything else!!!!!

I've been feeding my huskies eagle pack power formula for about 5 months now. I haven't had a problem with any of the food until recently, the last batch I noticed that 2 of my huskies started to get bald spots. Has there been any reports of bad batches released?

Eagle Pack Holistic is excellent food. It does NOT have corn in it as some have posted, the regular Eagle Pack line does. So many people blame there dog itching on the food. Dogs can have allergies to food, pollens, mold, you name it. I noticed a lot of people posted that the allergies came back in fall and spring, which is the perfect time for pollen allergies. I wouldn't be so quick to blame the food it could very well be pollen. Last year was horrible for outdoor allergies. NO food will cure contact allergens. If anyone wants to put blame on someone or something go tell the petstore, puppy mill or back yard breeder the dog has allergies or other illness. I run a rescue group and all the dogs have done excellent on Eagle Pack Holistic.

Eagle Pack HOLISTIC SELECT does NOT contain CORN, WHEAT or SOY......and while dogs may become allergic at any time (like people can) it does provide alternative protein choices in this line.

I use the large breed holistic for my bernese mountain dogs. They love it. Healthy coat and no digesive problems.

Just recently we got a sample bag for some Holistic dog food given to us to try out. Two days ago we tried the new unopened sample bag. We gave some to our Mini Schnauzer 'Sydney'. He had one third of a cup of - Chicken and Rice - that night for his supper. During the night he was moving around the bed more than he usually would and the following morning his face was all swollen and the top of his nose was bleeding. The swelling could be clearly seen around both eyes and all around his mouth. We went to our vet and she identified what has happened to be a sever reaction to something. Our yard is fenced and we have 3 other dogs that share the same play area and living quarters. None of the others was affected only Sydney. The other dogs are a Yorkie, a Jack Russell and a Border Collie. We do compete in dog sports and we take very good care of our dogs. The only thing that was different between the four - was that Sydney got the Holistic Dog Food from Eagle Pack that night. All our do... Read more

I am on a Lab message board and there have been ALOT of problems with Eagle Pack, including my dog. With my dog his fur started coming out in huge clumps. Other people have had various problems with it. I would not recommend it at all.

Hi, I have recently become a foster for a Japanese Bobtail mix and two of her kittens. I am feeding all three of them kitten Eagle Pack, and I am feeding each of them the canned Eagle Pack cat/kitten food. I feed them free form on the kibble and 3-4 times on individual portions of the canned food. In 5 days of fostering, their coats are smoother, their stool is much healthier, they want the canned sooner than I can get it ready for them and their kibble is almost all gone in one day. Such is the power of a good food choice for a pet. I have to rate the cat food a 5 for these reasons above.

Was not very fond of this food with the resuces we had. Didn't like the fact it wasn't grain free when we were feed it.

I like eagle pack holistic senior. I have a senior pit bull that had such arthrits in her back leg she wouldnt walk on it. After 3 monthe on the food she was happy and running around. I also have blues that use to get yeast infections regularly. after feeding the eagle pack holistic senior we haven't had a reoccurance.

I have loved the Eagle Pack Holistic until yesterday when I took my mini schnauzer to the vet thinking she had a bladder infection and they found instead that she had crystals in her urine. My vet said that had to come from her food - too much phospherous and/or magneisum. Up until now I also had been very happy with Eagle Pack Holistic Gold and have had to drive 10 miles each way to find a place that sells it. Unfortunately, I had just bought a 30 lb bag so that is $40 dollar poorly spent. My smaller schnauzer has been itching and biting and I assumed it was bugs from the yard when she went out to potty, but now I am wondering about the food with her too. I am going to call Eagle Pack tomorrow and see what they say. The vet said I could suplement the other schnauzer's (with crystals) diet with vitamin C, but it would not solve the issue just counter what the food is doing. She has also dropped weight lately. I am going to look into another food. I am give 3 stars based on how ... Read more

I agree with Hurley. I've had my dog on Eagle Pack for approx. 6 mths. & his scratching & paw biting had subsided. However, within the last month or two he has been scratching, biting and scooting like crazy. He has an infection in both ears and his skin has developed a dandruff-like flakiness. I haven't fed him anything (including treats) except Eagle Pack Holistic food. In all fairness, I wrote to the company and asked if they have changed the ingredients. They claimed they haven't but this change in my dog is unexplainable so I strongly believe it is the food. I have switched food in the last week. We'll see if he improves. I'd be interested to know if anyone else has seen any negative changes in their dog.

Eagle Pack Dog Food is an excellent choice. We personally use Eagle Pack Super Premium Original Adult Formula

I don't know what is going on with Eagle Holistic. Just in the last month and a half my dog started itching like crazy. I have been feeding eagle to my dog for the past year and a half and he did great on the food. He loved the taste and his coat was beautiful. Extremely healthy. However, he took a huge turn. I know Eagle has changed its formula. Several people I have talked to are starting to have the same problems.....anyone else??? Also Heads up everyone with four or five stars..a reliable source (who has inside info)told me that EAGLE HAS RECENTLY BEEN SOLD TO A HOLDING COMPANY!!! BET NO ONE SAW THAT ON THEIR WEBSITE. Wonder what they are putting in their food now. Oh yeah last thing. I know for a fact that Eagle is what was making my pup sick.......I switched his food to Merrick Grammies Pot Pie and he starting to clear up almost instantly. Eagle Pack Holistic would have gotten 5 stars from me 3 months ago......now they don't even deserve 1 star

Eagle pack is GREY'T!!!!! My dog's love it. No lose stools, no gas. Made in Indiana by the actual manufacturer

The longer I use the food and the more I research it and other premium foods, the more stars I would like to give it.  My senior is doing very nicely on it and I am impressed with the company's safety record.  That means a lot to me.

I do not like Eagle pack because of the ingredients .Anything with corn in it isn't good. Some of you may not agree with me but I just wouldn't feed something with corn as one of the main ingredients in it to my dog.

Eagle Pack Dog Food has two very good lines of dog food. The newer and improved line is Eagle Pack Holistic Select. They vary the proteins. They can easily be rotated for variety.  They have special formulations for especially for large and giant breeds. They have a tremendous track record over more than 15 years and a very loyal customers.  K9cuisine.com has free shipping dog food when you order $50.00.

I'm horrified that there's dogfood with duck in it...Peking?  If so, those canines eat better'n me.
