BEST KIBBLE ON THE MARKET
By Sally Fionte
October 12, 2023
SO MANY OPTIONS ! Time to call in an expert. I contacted a certified, registered dog food evaluator. She went over the nutrients of ALL the Amazon dry dog foods, and highly recommended Brothers Goat and
Egg formula. Dog loves it, and his veterinarian had high praise for this product.
Love Brothers dog food!
By Kdorning
My 13 year old Rottweiler has been on the Brothers diet for 6 years now. He loves it and is very healthy for being such an old dog. His coat is shinny. I attribute his longevity to this amazing product!
Thank you for a great product!

I wanted to tell Brothers Dog Food how wonderful your product is. I have attached a before picture of what my Airedale Terrier looked like before we put her on Brothers Complete. Addie was a rescue and was in terrible shape when we gave her a forever home. She has been on Brothers now for 3 years. She has no more health issues and has turned into a great looking Airedale. She is a certified Therapy Dog and certified AKC Canine Good Citizen and I get compliments on her when we are out in public. She is a great ambassador for you as it seems every day I am telling someone to try Brothers and see for themselves how healthy their dog can be. I have a 4 month old standard puppy who is also growing up on Brothers. He too is healthy and strong. This is longer than I anticipated but I can’t stop talking about Brothers and I thank you for what it has done for my dogs inside and out.
Please thank the whole staff for me and let them know I am very thankful for having a great product.

Best Food ever
By Rachel
My 6 year GSD had so many skin issues. After years of vet bills, antibiotics, and food changes, I came across Brothers Dog Food. Cooper’s hair was falling out, brittle, smelly and had wounds from itching and biting. I was giving him Benedryl for the itching, and numerous shampoos. After three bags of Brothers Dog Food, his hair became soft, thick and shiny. His wounds cleared up, no more crusty black sores. No more incessant itching and biting. He became more playful and no more eye crud. His coat stopped smelling and it is so soft. Turns out, he had an extreme case of yeast. THANK YOU, Brothers Dog Food. Worth every penny. Xoxo
Think I found a winner!
By Lisalaine
Finding trustworthy dog food has been quite a challenge for me. Soon after the transition, I would read something that that steered me away from my prior choices. I needed to stay away from sugar ingredients, have enough fiber for proper poops(to encourage anal expression) and few ingredients to reduce risks of allergies. Oh yeah, and our old man needs to like the flavor and feel good! Brothers covers all the points. First, I bought the turkey and got a sample of the goat. He seemed to like the goat a bit better. Cool thing with this brand's recipes is that they are so similar, it's easy to transition to another protein variety and back again, if you choose without worry of stomach upset. We are no longer having to go every 3 weeks for anal expression, the yeasty ear problems are not reoccurring anymore,and he has even stopped licking his front paws! I'm paying more for this dog food, but it doesn't match the vet bills I'm saving and knowing that he's healthier is priceless!!
Munchy Loves it!!!
By Dreya
I have a 3 year old English bulldog and he is very sensitive to a lot of foods. He throws up a lot and has bad allergies. I started feeding him Brothers formula and he has never looked so good. His hair is shinier and finally putting on some weight. He is a bit under weight because he is pickier than a child. He loves Brothers formula and cleans out his plate ever since we switched over to brothers. Its healthy and hypoallergenic. Thank you Brothers!!!
Second dog to thrive on Brothers.
By Blackdog TOP 500 CONTRIBUTOR
We adopted a American Bulldog/lab mix in mid February. The rescuers had done a good job with him but he still was in bad shape. They got him infested with fleas, raw spots and half starved. We took him home and throw away the food they gave us. Started him on Brothers Dog Food right away. We feed Brothers To our other dog, a lab, who as a puppy had terrible allergies. 4 and a half years later the lab is in amazing shape, beautiful and healthy. Our new dog's coat after two months is glowing, and he is growing strong every day. This is truly a great food for your dogs. I can see the difference in the dogs. This food stands the test of time it will keep your dogs healthy for their whole lives
Perfect Dog Food!
By Ashley
My dog had an allergy to something in the foods we were buying at our local pet food store. I searched and searched online until I ran across this dog food. I did some research online and found some reviews which were all raving about its goodness, so I gave it a shot! Sure enough my dog stopped incessantly licking himself within about a week. Maybe less! It's worth the additional cost compared to the brands you find at your local pet store, for sure! If my dog feels better, isn't itchy, etc, it's worth it
Solved Allergies
By JoeyT
Had my Pitbull Sonny for about 5 years now, since he has come into my home we struggled with his allergies. I don't even know how many different brands of food we have used for him, I have spent some major dollars on the best food. However, once we got him on Brothers within a few months he is basically a new dog. No more dry skin, scratching, hair loss, ear infections, skin infections the list goes on. It definitively was a shock to his system, the first month he basically blew out all his hair and detoxed like they said. Month 2 is when his body crawled back to normal. His hair is fully back, dry skin gone, no more ear funkiness. This food has done wonders give it a try.
If I can't have Brothers Complete, I don't want nobody baby.
By Rona TOP 1000 CONTRIBUTOR
My pitty was back and forth to the vet and dermatologist for the first year of her life with recurring skin infections (mange first, then pyoderma). Prednisone and antibiotics were prescribed quite a few times and then the dermatologist put her on Atopica, against my better judgement, which turned out to be a nightmare decision for my girl. After stopping the Atopica, I started doing my homework and discovered Brothers Complete. Well, the vet has lost a lot of money on me in the past 2.5 years because her skin infections have stopped completely. I am obsessed with BC and tell everyone/anyone who's dogs have GI or skin issues to switch to BC. It is worth every penny!! My dogs love every flavor too.
Finally my dog isn't itching anymore....
By Charmedmama
We are sharing our story of six year old Havanese dog, Coco. We have struggled with severe allergies with her since she was 3 years old resulting in skin conditions, ear infections, draining eyes, and hair loss. Not to mention high vet bills for the antibiotics, steroids, and eye creams. She was on so many other supposed "high quality" foods. We literally tried everything even Raw food. But there no change in her condition. We even had her on Atopica (the last resort drug that suppresses a dogs immune system). Who wants to suppress your dogs immune system?? Nothing was working. She would sleep all day and barely interacting. Her fur was falling out and the coat was dull and dry. We decided to try Brother Complete Lamb and Egg. At first we didn't notice much of a difference except she seemed to be scratching less. Then after a couple of months of only feeding her this food and nothing else, we saw a huge difference!! She no longer has sores, she barely itches now, and seems a lot happier! Best of all she is off Atopica! This stuff works you just have to have patience and give it time to work!! Thank you for saving my dog from food allergies!
This food was a miracle for my dog!
By ClueandQuinnsMom
My German Shepherd was experiencing something very similar to baby colic before I started her on Brothers. Several times a month she would get a very rumbly tummy - would not eat or drink or even go outside. She just laid very quietly and did not want to engage. You could hear her stomach from the next room. After about 6-8 hours of this then she would have horrible gas. I tried all sorts of novel proteins and was just about to throw in the towel when I found Brother's Complete on the internet. This food made all the difference. I spoke to the man who created this food and followed his feeding directions exactly and within a couple of months she made a tremendous recovery! No more rumbly tummy!
Off the Meds
By GCCS
My 9 year old Morkie was having horrible stomach issues due to being on NSAIDS medication for 2+ years. We took him off of it and he would still refuse to eat, have horrible bloating after eating, lots of acid reflux/burping after eating (he was on Merrick grain free) We took him to the vet and she agreed that it was best to take him off the meds, and to try changing out his food. So we took a gamble after reading up on it and tried Brothers Complete Goat Meal and instantly we saw small changes, less acid reflux, less bloat, etc. It has been 3 weeks and he is eager to eat each meal and the stomach issues are non-existent. You can tell he feels better overall because he is more active and chipper compared to before.
Food for Jack
By Grandma
It works well for my daughters Golden Retrievers who has allergy problems
Sometimes change works
By FLSusan
I had been feeding Brothers complete venison and egg with super results for my highly allergic American Bulldog. THEN the venison was out of stock and I had to choose lamb. With fingers crossed I've watched for any adverse reaction and so far so good--she loves the taste!! The Brothers Complete is by far the best dry kibble for my allergy prone dog!! Maybe because of the probiotics?
Good for allergies
By Sydney
Have been seeking a good food for my Japanese chin who had alot of skin allergies, this is the first dog food that has helped.
Favorite
By Betty
We only feed quality food and so far the Brothers Lamb Meal and Egg formula is their favorite. They ate their meal and begged for more. My dogs have the ability to eat dry food at their leisure but I had not had the chance to fill the container and all 5 of them were biting at the bag wanting more. I have never seen them so excited about food before
Should have made the switch sooner
By DogLover23
For years I have been feeding various other brands. About a year ago I was recommended Brothers Complete by a friend and I have never been more pleased. My 10 year old Chinese Crested loves this food. I have even started giving her the treats. I rotate the flavor every once and a while to give her some variety and no soft stool issues during transition. I no longer need to give her a topper to eat the kibble. The dark spots around her eyes and mouth have gone away and she doesn't have a single skin issue.
Great Quality and Nutritional Food!
By Kaitlyn821
So after adopting my dog I quickly learned he has some anxiety/allergy issues. After doing some research and talking with the vet, I learned trying different foods can help to relieve some of these issues. After quite a few friends recommending I try Brothers, I am happy I did. This food has helped to significantly. It also doesn't hurt that he loves his food, as well as the treats they offer. I have been buying this product for over 4 years and can truthfully say that this is a great product
SO FAR, I'M VERY PLEASED!
By Sandy57
My 9 year old little dog would have periodic loose stools, but 7 weeks ago, she began having diarrhea very frequently. After several trips to the vet, I did an enormous amount of research on her food. She's always been fed very high quality food. She's been on Orijen for many years. I decided it was time to try something else. I switched her from Orijen to Fromm, which didn't seem to help the diarrhea issue, and she also didn't seem to like the taste much either. I then purchased the Brother's Complete Advanced Allergy Care Dry Dog Food. I don't want to get excited too soon as it's only been about 9 days, however her stools are perfect and she absolutely loves the taste of this food. It is costly, about the same as Orijen......but so worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great and healthy choice !
By Prllucky13 TOP 250 CONTRIBUTOR
Searching for food that does not cause stomach upset, diarrhea and very bad gas. This food has accomplished all of the above and he loves it !

Helped my GSD, Sadie with her scratching
By JanetRod TOP 250 CONTRIBUTOR
I was skeptical at first about the claim that it’s an allergy control formula but it totally works. Sadie was on prescription medication for allergies and now she’s not. She and my mini dachshund, Abby both love this dog food and the lamb and egg formula. Brothers is a tad pricy but well worth the money
Second dog to thrive on Brothers Complete
By Blackdog TOP 500 CONTRIBUTOR
Leave it to Brothers Complete to come out with another great version of an already wonderful product line. My dogs love this food ( as they do the other three foods ) so much. I love being able to feed them different proteins. Only food I will feed or recommend.
What more do you need?
By AlphaMom
GMO free, antibiotic free, potato free, novel protein...all the dogs eat this right up...has a good aroma and kibble size suits the entire pack from a jackapoo to a GSD...stools good, no issues making a switch... no recalls...what more do you need?
My Golden likes goat best.
By esva1951
I've been feeding him Brothers Complete for 4 or 5 months now. It was hard to get him to eat at times when there was a recipe change on the other brand of high quality kibble I was feeding him. I've fed him Brothers lamb and the turkey. He likes both but the goat seems to be his favorite-eats it as soon as I put it in his bowl with no toppers. I will continue to rotate between the various Brothers Complete flavors. Doing well on Brothers Complete food. Good stools and maintaining a healthy weight. Very high quality ingredients.
Great ingredients, Rontu loves Brothers Complete
By Prllucky13 TOP 250 CONTRIBUTOR
Brothers Complete has great ingredients and Rontu loves it. Rontu is a somewhat picky eater. I tried many different brands to fine Brothers Complete. It’s also the one food that eliminated loose stools that he gets from other food. My only complaint is they changed bags. I buy 25 pound bags. The bags had a great closure to keep food fresh. I called Brothers Complete and asked why they changed bags. Apparently the closure was coming open during shipping. Brothers said they are looking at different closures. Please hurry !
Perfect for picky eater
By LuLuBedhead
My dog is THE pickiest eater. She only ate Blue Buffalo wilderness and after the first BB recall I tried to switch her food with no avail. After the second I no longer gave her a choice. I bought five 4 lb bags of dog food. This is the only one she ate. She is the type of dog who will go on a hunger strike, as she did with the Merrick, Wellness, Purina, and Beneful. This one is a keeper! Thank God for Brothers
Great for schnauzer with issues.
By Cloie08
Our poor miniature schnauzer has had gastro and soft stool issues since we got her at 5 years old. Some of it allergy/intolerance issues, some of it IBS type issues. When our prescription diet stopped being made we were forced to find a alternative. This food has been amazing. We are about a week and a half in to being straight on Brothers. Stool is great, the constant licking is gone as well as gas. The manufacturer is very helpful and knowledgeable as I had a couple of questions. She is a picky eater but likes the chicken and I finally have found a biscuit she can tolerate, she has never been able to have them.
Love this product!
By AGR9
I have 2 dogs both with severe allergies. Brothers Complete has totally changed their skin and coats for the better. Their skin is normal for the first time in 5 years. I'm very grateful I found this product.
Our Staffy loves it!
By Alissa on
So far so good! We started this food 1/2018 because we've had so many problems with allergies. Environmental. (Possibly chicken and potato) Since starting this food, her skin and paws have zero irritation. She's not licking and causing infection. We still wipe her feet after going outside, and bathe with allergy shampoo. But even though the food is pricey, I'm saving a vet bill $. Thank you Brother's Complete and Chewy!
No more licking and scratching
By Doobee
This is probably the 7th or 8th food we've tried for our picky Shihpoo mix. We're tried all the best foods, and IF he likes it, he was licking and scratching a lot. After just a couple of days on this food, almost no licking or scratching at all! I hope he keeps liking the taste, because he's going to be eating Bothers food for a long time (unless something drastically changes). A little expensive, but great food!
Only food there is for my dogs
By homecie
Absolutely helps with the constant itching of my dogs. Thank you , don't change a thing please!
Our dog loves the brothers complete line
By Cyoung717
We have been purchasing Brothers Complete since 2013. We just recently found out they had partnered with chewy.com. I cannot say enough good things about the food or the company in general. Prior to our switch in 2013 our dog had digestion issues with the big name dog food providers. Since the switch she is regular and very healthy. We use the other flavor varieties to fill treat balls. Highly recommend.
3rd flavor is another winner!
By Lisalaine
He's tried the turkey, goat and now the lamb. The last 2 seem to be liked the most. All interchange with ease and no stomach issues. I do measure this brand's food, like recommended, since it is very nutritionally dense. He has maintained his healthy weight and seems satisfied. Very happy.
Yeast Issues
By Casey
My standard poodle was having significant yeast issues that were making her miserable. After several expensive veterinarian visits and prescriptions with no relief I did my own research. I decided on this dog food and eliminated canned food. Within days of being on this product her issues have cleared up. The other plus was she loves this food. She is a difficult and free eater and never cleans her bowl until now.

So Glad We Switched
Hi Richard,
I wanted to follow up to thank you for your response and suggestions about transitioning our puppy to Brothers dog food.
It's been just shy of a month that our puppy Sammy has been transitioned over to Brother's dog food. Since then, she has been diarrhea free and her coat has a beautiful shine too it. She's been able to gain the weight back that she lost while still remaining lean and I couldn't be more happy and more relieved. Even with my previous lab, never did her coat shine like Sammy's is and never were her stools like this. With the True Cost calculator we will end up paying far less in dog food compared to the lesser quality dog food she was on, not to mention the money we will save on eliminated vet bills. We are so glad we switched to Brother's dog food and this will be the only dog food we ever feed our dog(s) from here on out.
Thank you so much!

If I could rate this product a million stars I would! My little guy (a Terrier Mix) has been eating this food for over a year now and we will NEVER go back! He had allergies and recurring severe ear infections. His medicine bag looked like one for a sick human. I was fed up with giving him meds and vet bills. After researching, I came across the Dog Food Advisor site and ultimately Brothers Complete. After reading such positive reviews I decided to try it out. I stopped all other treats and only gave him this food. He not only loved it, but his symptoms (licking his paws, bitting his back, rubbing himself on the carpet to scratch, and ear infections) began to disappear. They even sent us a complimentary bag of treats which he also loved! I am so thankful he has a good for him food that truly keeps him healthy & happy. I pray you never change your formula and keep the phenomenal service as well!
Name: Elisabeth Shelton
I can't say enough about this food!!! I've been looking forever for a food for my dog to tolerate. She is a cocker spaniel with many allergies including skin and ears along with a host of digestive issues. She only weighs 16 lbs but should weight closer to 23 lbs. I've worked with the vet to try and get her on allergy food and it never made a difference in her skin or weight. She is also a picky eater. She would eat up wet food but it would never settle with her stomach and she would end up vomiting it up I tried many brands. Recently we moved to a small town with no options for purchasing a decent dog food. She soon went from sometimes having regurge to vomiting a couple times a day. No one could figure it out. I went online and found this food. I tried to switch her over slowly but the vomiting was getting worse so I just stopped the old food and started this food (I know you are suppose to switch them slowly) but by the second day on this food she didn't vomit once during the day. We hadn't had a vomit free day for close to 4 weeks and now nothing. Thank you so much for making this food. It's still too soon to see what it does for the other allergies but I'm hopefully and just happy I'm not cleaning up vomit anymore!
Name: Jeff H
This is miracle food. My 15+ year old silky terrier suffers severely from food allergies. I've tried many, many expensive brands, even one that is USDA organic, and nothing worked. He was constantly vomiting, having bouts of diarrhea, lethargic, losing hair, etc. I bought him a bag of this stuff, and within literally 1 day, all of his symptoms cleared up. He's now back to his peppy self and hasn't had vomited or had loose stool since I started feeding it to him. I should also note that he absolutely loves it. He ate so much of it the first day that I had to take him out to go potty 3 times.
After years of searching for a dog food that agrees with my dog, I can't believe I've finally found one that doesn't cause allergic reactions. I just wish they made canned dog food too.

Awesome whole delicious food our mom feeds us, every time she gets it from the store or online woof woof! Pawfect! Yes this food is the best, I was actually there earlier today:) I have been feeding my two companions for the past years already. One of my pets has allergies, so the Venison is the one that I feed both of my pets. I order it online or by visiting the store, Aaron is very nice & answers to your questions with a lot of knowledge plus he gives me samples for whenever I'm on the go..this way I could give out to people I know so they could try the food for their pets. Of course other than the foods I get the treats too! My companions nutrition is very important to me & I feel the Venison Brothers Complete covers that section very well :)
Name: Baxter
Hello, I am an 8 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I have had allergies since I was a puppy. They make me very, very itchy. Sometimes I itch so bad that I make sores on my tail from biting. We have been to the vet for this a number of times and tried everything, even prescription food, but nothing relieved the itching. We read a lot about food ingredients. Then we decided to try Brothers Venison and Egg Allergy. Wow!! I am no longer itching. I have been eating this for 6 months and I am doing great. Thank you Brothers!
Name: Jason and Tricia
We started buying Brothers Complete dog food almost 2 years ago. We were looking for a quality dog food for our pibble that has skin issues of many sorts. We were previously on Blue Buffalo foods and nothing was seeming to get better and that is why we decided to try Brothers Complete. Our pibble has now tried pretty much all the different "Allergy" flavors, but her absolute favorite is Venison. She is a happier dog due to Brothers Complete and her coat is always shiny and clean. One more thing we noticed almost right away, our dog doesn't want/need as much food daily as she did before eating what she was on previously, and dollars to dollars this has saved us a lot of money over time! Many great reasons to use Brothers Complete for us and I would say anyone would be missing out to not give it a try.
Name: Moose and Scout
I purchased this food with hopes that my yorkie terrier rescue would tolerate it because of suspected food allergies and overall not interested in dog food. She did not just tolerate it, she loves it. Most finicky dog in the world. I have tried every 4 and 5 star brands out there and this by far is her favorite dry food. My older dog who is a large boxer mix will nudge her out of the way to eat this food!I switched them over to this kibble basically overnight with no GI upset. My older dog eats this food along with a dehydrated soft food. She was on a prescription kibble for GI problems. Switched her food to this and her new soft wet food and one health problem solved. Thanks for making life easier for my dogs! Thanks for making dog food that my dogs will eat. Not throwing bowls of uneaten food away anymore!

For years one of my Chihuahua's suffered with terrible skin allergies; I even tried cooking rice, turkey and vegetables for him but no luck. After numerous trips to the vet and still not finding relief, I read all I could about dog food and found Brothers Venison Allergy Care. Amazing! After a couple of weeks he was so much better! Thanks Brothers for a wonderful product that I can feed with confidence.

Name: Patricia DeRuosi
I have three dogs eating the Turkey and egg formula; they all love it. Luna has food sensitivities and this food has been wonderful for her, no more diarrhea. Layla is 13 and has a really sensitive stomach and is a very picky eater; she eats this food. And finally, there's Jasper. He is six months old and very healthy. He has been eating Turkey and Egg since he is four months old. All three have beautiful coats and lots of energy. We love brothers.
Name: Min Pin Household
I buy Brothers Complete for my 2 elderly Min Pins. The one dog had trouble with skin eruptions (breakouts) on his belly and inner thighs. After using the allergy care dog food, his skin cleared and has remained healthy. The same dog had issues with his digestion. He would throw up bile frequently for no reason, he would want to go outside & eat grass to make himself throw up. He also had a dry cough, sneezing and asthma like episodes. I noticed this dog had involuntary muscle twitches on his legs of which the vet could not diagnose. All of these symptoms improved and some nearly gone away while eating a healthier diet. It is because they are eating grain and potato free. The education in the Brothers Document is very valuable information which every dog owner should read. I feel so guilty about not having this knowledge when my dogs were puppies. I can only feel comforted that I'm giving them the best nutritional support in their last chapter of life. Thank you so much...
Name: Sandy Palmer
One of my dogs is a lab mix rescue dog I got when he was four months old. He had one eye missing and I figured no one else would take him so I did! I've had dogs continuously for 50 years, but "Jack" is the most incredible, smart, intuitive and incredible dog I've ever had. So naturally I was quite distressed when he was about 8 months old and started scratching at his ears like crazy, and I noticed a terrible smell coming from them and his feet. The vet diagnosed a yeast infection and put him on drugs for three weeks, which cleared it up. Unfortunately, it came back in three months.
Another round of drugs and absolutely NO other insight from three different vets. None of them ever mentioned a "leaky gut" but instead told me that he was probably getting the inside of his ears wet! (This is one lab who absolutely HATES going in water)! Like others, my vet told me to put him on Science Diet, which I refused to do because of the high corn content. I switched him to Canidae, which is a very good food, but he kept getting the infections and needing drugs about three to four times a year. It broke my heart. Like others, I searched all over the internet for an answer and finally found Brothers. Yes, it was very expensive, but how can you put a price on the health of your dog, who loves you and depends on you for his well-being?
Jack's last bad yeast infection was in November, 1913. The drugs cleared him up and while he was still on the meds I switched him to the Turkey and Egg formula food. I kept waiting and watching for another yeast outbreak, but it never came back! Every now and then he will still scratch his sides, but not much more than any dog would. He will also get that stinky odor on his feet, but it's so minor we just give him a bath with Malaseb and it takes care of it.
But in the 17 months he's been on the Brother's dog food, he has NEVER needed to go on medications!
One thing I would add is that I also feed Jack ONLY dog treats from Brothers. I am very leery of giving him anything else as anything off the shelf is either packed with corn, flour, or made in China. I also tell visitors to never give Jack any of their food. I try to keep his gut clean and the Brothers food helps me do it! Thank you so much! I have recommended this product to a friend of mine who has a Shih'tzu with constant scratching and other problems, and she just ordered her first bag two weeks ago. I'm sure she'll find a big difference, too.

Our Maltepoo has been having such trouble with itchy skin constantly liking at her paws and behind. Two weeks on the Venison and Egg formula and she is so much better. Finally a food that helps relieve her allergies. Thank you!

Name: Pat Watker
My 8 year old German Shepherd dog developed something that can only be described as colic-like episodes about 2 years ago. At first I thought she was experiencing a food allergy or food sensitivity to a protein. She’d have episodes where I could hear her stomach from across the room loudly churning. For about 6-8 hours she wouldn’t want to eat or drink or even go outside to relieve herself. She didn’t appear to be in pain with signs like heavy panting or walking in circles but just wanted to lay down and be left alone. Once the stomach churning ended she would be just fine – full of energy and playful, but would have horrible gas for several hours after each episode. I spent a small fortune at the Holistic vet’s office trying all type of modalities, which helped somewhat, but never really ended the episodes. Summer of 2013 she began having these episodes several times a week as opposed to once or twice a month and I really didn’t know what to do. I tried changing the novel protein to all types of exotic meats. Nothing was working. I finally went back to the Dog Food Advisor and saw the review for Brothers. At this point I had nothing to lose. I followed the instructions of feeding just the Turkey Allergy formula and only adding liver treats on occasion. I started it in August and figured I give it the 6 month try. And I was completely blown away and not from my dog’s gas, I might add! She got almost immediate relief. She still has very small episodes but they are so short-lived and very, very mild. They’re hardly a blip on the radar now. Thank you so much for this wonderful food that has made such a big difference in my dog’s life

We have had a terrible time finding a food that our English Setter can eat. This is the only one that has worked for us! He enjoys it and it agrees with his stomach.

We absolutely love the Turkey Meal & Egg Formula. We have 3 dogs that are on this and I have to say what a difference it makes in their fur, health and energy levels. I wouldn't want any other brand for my fur-babies.

After hearing so many recall horror stories, I started my doberman show puppy on Brothers chicken formula. 1 1/2 years later, my pup is tall, strong, shiny and healthy. I know this food is not inexpensive but then neither are vet bills. I highly recommend this food.
Name: Carla L
I have two German Shepherds that do so very well on brothers foods. I rotate between them for variety. My female has EPI which is a pancreatic disease which makes her not absorb nutrients. Her food gets ground in a blender then I add enzymes and this is the only food which has helped her gain weight with the enzymes plus both dogs poops are much smaller with this food! Thank you Brothers for such a quality product with NO recalls!.

Have 2 street dogs that we took in. One of them just would not eat - could even put a filet mignon in front of her and she would turn up her nose. After doing a lot of research on Pet Food Advisor, we decided to give Brothers a try. Initially ws

My 9 month old golden retriever pup was weaned onto raw food. Doesn't really like it though. Tried homecooked, etc., and a high quality large breed puppy food from Canada (which she wouldn't eat). Basically, she wouldn't eat *anything*. However, she does eat the Venison from Brothers. Finally she is eating and I am a lot less stressed. I do add some lightly braised raw elements to it. She has been such a challenge to feed. Even my old 12 yr old greyhound will eat Brothers; whereas she will not eat any other kibble. Definitely the best kibble available and it is actually eaten!
Name: Effie Clark
I've been feeding my Pibble Brothers Complete for a couple of years now and she is doing great on this food. I settled on this allergy formula because she seems to like it the best. Her weight ranges between 46 - 48 lbs and she eats 1-1/2 cups of this food a day (split between breakfast and dinner.) We have had her 3 years now and she is a beautiful dog despite her hard beginning and has a beautiful coat and tons of energy.
Name: BambiFan
Our young sheltie is crazy for this venison formula. She's been on the turkey and red meat flavors ever since we realized not just any dog food would work for her. She's done well on all the Brothers Allergy flavors (clear eyes, good energy, beautiful coat and normal stools) but when it comes to the venison flavor... our dog is extra happy at meal time and "wolfs" it down. Also, the cat has been spotted checking out the dog bowl and that means something good is going on with this food!
Name: Monaghan Family
We researched MANY dog foods (being a Paralegal I couldn't help it!) and Brothers Complete is by far the best food out there! We have two toy rat terrier puppies (Daisy & Zoey were born 6-12-13) and we switched them over as soon as we could. They LOVE the food - mealtime lasts 3 minutes or less. Wish they'd eat slower so they could taste it. Ha ha!
Highly recommend this food. Really appreciate the extra mile this company goes to give us the best kibble possible...from the USA sourced ingredients to the small batches to the storage in a cold warehouse to the packaging. It's incredible.
We considered raw feeding but feel so comfortable with the quality and know that our pups are getting the best food.
Five stars all the way.

My 2 year old dachshund with a perpetually sensitive, diarrhea, and lately bloody diarrhea has so far taken well to this food - for the first time I am seeing the consistency improve from what it has been the past few months since I got him..
I've ordered a second time..so far so good..they even sent me a little treat in the order! :) thank you dogfoodadvisor + brotherscomplete!
Name: Courtney Bettington
My dogs are getting close to finishing our second bag of Brothers food. Thus far, our three boxers are thriving on the food. Our oldest boxer had been suffering from terrible digestive issues, despite many trips to the vet. Since switching to Brothers, she has not thrown up at all. Additionally, all three dogs are back to regular eating patterns and not skipping meals. I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the changes Brothers has made in my dogs. Although feeding three dogs this food can be a bit pricey, there is no price I can put on the health and well-being of my furry kids.
Thank you for creating a truly outstanding food product for dogs! We will be ordering more of the Turkey and Egg very soon!

This has made a huge difference in my 11.5 year old Shepherd mix - her allergy issues significantly decreased, digestion improved, and she has more energy. Thank you for such a trusted and quality product!
Name: Rita Richards and Patches
Been feeding this for about a month now and Patches just loves the food. She is doing so well on it, we are so happy we found this food. Patches is a 5 mo. old Akita. Her coat is so soft and shiny and I say it's because of the wonderful food she eats. I would never change to another dog food. Thank you for such a great product and for shipping so fast. The Brother's Co. can not be beat, good dog food and great customer service.
What more can Patches ask for?

My three year old Chihuahua had suffered from allergies and digestive issues his whole adult life, until one day we tried Brothers Allergy Formula. He is a whole different happy little dog now, and he refuses to eat anything else. Thank you Brothers, your passion for great dog food has made my best friend a healthy one.
Name: Lisa Fillion
Thank You! Gunner has his coat back and his scratching is gone. He enjoys the food but the benefit is his allergies have improved significantly. An added benefit is my allergies have also improved because his coat no longer has mold on it which is my primary allergen. Win-Win for all! Thanks Again!

Maggie is 5 years old and has had trouble with ear infections and yeast every since we got her as a baby. but in the last 2 years maggie had gotten to licking her feet so bad that she would make them bleed and have sores so bad on them that my house would look like someone was killed from all the blood. we could leave out to go for supper and come back with blood everywhere. vet bills were killing us, we went to several different ones and most told us it was yeast and infection in the ears gave us meds that didn't help much at all , would clear up some but would come right back.
Before i found Brothers, Maggies hair was coming out everywhere and she didn't look good at all and she didn't play as much . I am almost at the end of my second bag of brothers allergy food and just ordered another one. I have been waiting to see how she did before i wrote a review, but we can't get over how big of a difference your dog food has made. Her coat is so much better her hair just shines and is so soft now! i have had to vacuum everyday for the last 2 years because her hair was coming out so bad. i still vacuum but i don't see no where near that much hair. her feet still don't have all her hair back yet but she doesn't lick as much now, just looks like she licks to clean her self. She use to have spots all over her belly that were red and dry skin spots , she still has problems under one of her arms but everywhere else looks great!
This food has made a huge difference in our sweet Maggie. My life for the last 2 years where nothing but a nightmare. I spent months on end just staying home so she wouldn't lick and cause sores that would get infected and back to the vet again for antibiotics. Her ears look so much better too. Wish i had known of brothers along time ago...but i can't thank u enough for taking the time to learn what dogs need and to make this great dog food. I only ask that you always stay in business and keep making Brothers Allergy dog food. Don't change a thing unless it is better for our loved babies. lol Thanks so much for all you do!!!!!! Tina Cox

Richard,
Thanks for all of your help and guidance over the past 6 months. We have been feeding both dogs the Chicken Formula and the Turkey Formula. Their coats are absolutely gorgeous and everyone comments on how soft their hair is. Poodles have hair, not fur. I have spent a substantial amount of money over the past few years on, so called "top quality food" and nothing compares to the results we have seen with your product. They are doing better on your food than a raw diet! No more runny eyes, bowel and constipation problems, no itchy irritated paws, etc. I truly believe based on my trial and error that Brothers is the absolute best kibble on the market and my dogs will not be given any other brand. Plus, my dogs are crazy about the food! I highly encourage anyone that is interested in keeping their dogs in the best health possible to give your product a try. Keep up the great work!
-Lance
Name: Patty V
I have a Border Collie that was showing all the signs for leaky gut, systemic yeast infection, food intolerances, inconsistent bowels, IBS. I started him on Brothers Complete Allergy Formula, at Richard Darlington's suggestion, at the beginning of September. I got all the advice I could want about what to expect as my dog healed from this condition including the warning that it may take 8 or 9 months before he is completely better. It took 2 1/2 months before I was no longer seeing any symptoms, but my dog now looks and acts like a normal healthy dog. Thanks Brothers for all you do for our pets.
Name: Paula Martinez
I was thrilled to find this allergy.formula for my lab mix, Kasha. She absolutely loves it! After many vet bills and all kinds of foods i tried, this one definitely did the trick. Her coat shines, she's healthy, energetic and her allergies have ceased. The best part is she doesn't throw up anymore, no stomach issues and no more vet bills!!! Thank you Brothers complete for your awesome products!!!

My 5yr old female Boxer Jubilee is doing great on Brothers.Her coat is soft and amazing and her eyes are so bright.Her energy level is through the roof at the right time while on our walks. She is regular with her poop and a lot less of it. We have been rotating White and Red meat formula's.The Brothers family is also a pleasure to deal with.They really care about our pets and will explain anything you want them to...just pick up the phone and ask. Brothers will always be a part of my dogs life.
Name: Javier Garcia
I've been feeding Brothers allergy formula to my Dachshund for over a year now. He started with allergies after he turned 2. The vet specifically told me to feed him science diet(prescribed). I did, and it got worse! I had Blu on many med's and was giving him bath's every day according to the vet's instructions. I made his ordeal twice as bad. I looked on the internet for month's trying to find an allergy dog food that would cure his terrible skin conditions. The vet even told me after my 5th visit that it was because my dog had a grey coat that was pre-determined for the type of allergies he was having. My dog is a piebald and I thought she made sense. She was so wrong! She continued saying that all dogs should be on science diet or iams. After all her nonsense, I searched and finally found Brother's Complete Allergy formula from dogfoodadvisor.com.
I fed him this food for 2 months and he was at least 75% better. I did not want to write any reviews thinking it was going to come back. It has been 2 years now and my Blu has been allergy free since the first two bags. You don't know how it feels to finally see him happy and not chewing on his behind, and the constant licking of his paws...and no more yeast infections, nor patches of bald spots caused by all the infections he had. I know this is a long review, but I want anyone who reads this to know that Brother's allergy formula has cured my dog and I am so very Thankful to this company! If you read my review and have gone through what I have gone through, you will thank yourself for listening to me and to all the reviews below.
Thanks again!!!

I found Brothers searching on the internet for a solution to my dachshunds terrible skin allergies that I have been fighting since she was a puppy. I ordered the Allergy formula, and after 2 weeks, she is so much better, I don't have to give her a prescription allergy pill everyday anymore. Her skin is clearing up and she has more energy! I am thrilled and I'm sure she feels so much better too! I will be ordering regularly!
Name: Carolyn Elaine Segers
We ordered the allergy formula along with some of the samples of the other formulas. It has only been a little over a week, and our terrier's stomach issues already seem to be improving. Our cocker who isn't usually too enthusiastic about the food we were using really loves this stuff. We will be ordering more!!

After all the problems/recalls related to dog food manufacturing plants, I researched to find a high quality dog food that had not had problems with recalls related to their ingredients or during the manufacturing process. Found out about Brothers via dogfoodadvisor and their stellar rating. Called them directly and spoke to an actual human who told me about their manufacturer in Nebraska which has had no recalls of their products. Was nice to get the information first hand from Brothers. My dogs love Brothers Complete and it makes me feel good to know I am giving them a high nutritional dog food.

In the last 6 months I have got my 5 little dogs on grain free dog food. I have tried several 5 star brands, after some research on dog food I tried Brothers Allergy formula. My yorkies & Pom. love it and are doing great on it.I have ordered 3 times now and I'm so happy with the fast service.I want the best for my dogs and I think I have found it.Thank you Brothers for your wonderful products with no recalls!

My black german shepherd, Buddy was having constant ear infections, black belly skin, lesions and hair loss. After a local groomer suggested allergies, I started looking for a healthier food. I found Bothers allergy to fit the bill. After emailing Richard with a few questions, he gave me his phone number to talk over Buddy's symptoms. He suggested leaky gut syndrome. I researched it and believe that to be Buddy's issue.
After changing to Brothers allergy, Buddy's ears have been clean, his belly skin is pink again and he has more spunk. He has a way to go to get clean, but I believe that Brother's and Richards help have saved him.

I had to change my pittie's food with the recent salmonella scare. I moved her to another high quality food but she refused to eat it no matter what extras were added. After a ton of research, I found Brothers Complete. I bought samples of all the different flavors and thankfully, she loved them all. I have been feeding her Brothers since June and appreciate not having to coax her to eat as well as her firm stools. Scarlett has eaten both the red meat and white meat but seems to prefer the white. I also love how fresh the food is and that I can order on a Wednesday and have the food by Friday (I live in FL.) I'm so happy I found this food!
Name: Lance Hyatt
After a year of research and trying of the "top"rated dog foods, I stumbled upon Brothers. I had numerous discussions with the owner via email and he answered all of my questions and concerns. My dogs have now been on the Allergy formula for one month and the results have been outstanding. Their coats are gorgeous, eyes are clearer than ever, no gas and no bowel movement issues. Best kibble in the market. Once you try it, you won't want to feed your dog anything else.
Name: Dave M
My 2 dogs have been on Brothers now for two months. I have rotated through many premium dog foods and this is one of the best kibbles available. My dogs look great and love the food. Thanks for a high quality grain and potato free food.
Name: Kelly
I have three dogs, and they all love the white meat formula. In the three weeks I have been feeding this food, it has given my 13 year old Rottweiler a shiny coat and increased energy! All three have improved digestion, and I have been able to decrease the total amount of food they eat each day because of the higher nutritional density. Plus, it is always very fresh - I love the air valve on the 25 lb bags, which allows you to get all the air out every time you close the bag.
Name: susan adams
my dogs love this food. It's always super fresh and made with high quality ingredients and I my orders arrive quickly. Thanks for making a great food without potato!!!

Thank you Brothers for making this wonderful formula that my little Maltese LOVES! I feel good that she is not only getting food that she enjoys but also food that is so healthy for her. She has sensitive skin and since she has been on this food, all of the itchy spots have cleared up! I would encourage you to try this kibble if you haven't already. You and your dog will be happy you did!

I played around with numerous high quality dog foods for my cairn who scratches/itches something terrible. I even tried the raw diet. Nothing worked until I started her on Brothers allergy formula. THANK YOU Brothers!
Name: Frances W.
My family loves brothers complete! I switched because my dog Odette is a french bulldog with terrible food allergies. After trying SIX different foods, I discovered Brothers Complete and she no longer scratches since we switched her to the Allergy Formula!!! I have since recommended brothers complete to my parents who have 2 chocolate labs with allergies and now we all use Allergy Formula to feed all of our pets!
Name: w martin
my rescue labX had severe skin issues. i didn't want to have her on rabbit formula, antibiotics and steroids. my groomer alerted me to the possibility of systemic yeast, and after some research i put her on this food. grain-free, white potato-free, with added enzymes and probiotics. and the added benefit of help and information from Aaron (thanks, Aaron!).
The going is slow, i was warned it might take over 6 months given how malnourished and sickly she was. additionally, she is a very nervous self-mutilator w. separation anxiety issues. unsurprising, given her history of being locked up and isolated. but she is definitely getting better and she has beautiful, thick, soft and shiny hair where she doesn't scratch or bite. and when she does do damage to herself she heals quickly. one of my other dogs, who has always been a very picky eater, loves this food too. shipping is quick---

Brothers Complete Allergy dog food exceeded my expectations. After years of searching for high-quality dog food and being sorely disappointed (the expensive brands actually exacerbated my dog's symptoms), I had resigned to living with a very smelly, gassy dog with chronic ear infections. The ear infections were so bad she would violently shake her head all day and night, preventing the household from sleeping soundly. Her excessive scratching and licking of the ears, paws, and groin area was chalked up by vets as anxiety and boredom. Then six months ago she started to turn down meals, vomit bloody vile on a regular basis, and scratch the hair off the back of her ears. Having always been a bit of a piggy, I was quite concerned. Her stomach would growl so loud it sounded like a screeching cat inside. The vet recommended Pepcid AC for stomach acid, which was helpful, but not a cure. After extensive research I found Brothers Complete. I was skeptical, but figured one last try couldn't hurt. I slowly added in Brothers Complete to her old food. She continued to vomit for the first 1-2 weeks, but then her symptoms began to go away! I'm still on the first bag and already her energy has doubled, her coat is no longer slimy and odorous, her licking and scratching is significantly reduced, there have been no ear infections, and her stomach now only growls on an intermittent basis. As a career student, I hope the price stays stable. Brothers Complete has transformed my middle-aged dog.

I have been ordering Brother's Dog food For a couple months now. My Boxer Alex and my Shetland Sheepdog Bell are doing GREAT on this dog food. I also have tried the Dog Biscuits also another great choice. My orders are fast packaged very well. I will def. stick with Brother's. Please give them a try.
Name: Stacey Jones
After 3 consecutive ear infections for our Ridgeback, the vet indicated she might have food sensitivities/allergies. That made sense, since her skin tended to be dry, she chewed on her feet/nails, and overall she seemed to have sensitive skin. After much research, I settled on Brothers Complete Allergy food - and I'm so glad I found it! During the transition from her old over the counter food to Brothers Complete, I started to see, and feel, a difference in her coat. So much softer and smoother. Since we've transitioned over completely now (almost done with our first bag), I can't believe some of the changes. Her ears, which were always 'freckled' (per the Vet), are now completely clear, her coat is amazing, and surprisingly - she's acting like a puppy again (she's 18 months). No complaints from her on the food - thanks for a great product!
Name: Lori Diggs
I am the proud mommy of 4 toy poodles. I have tried several "grain free" foods to help with their allergies. After much frustration and searching on the internet, I found Brother's Complete Allergy formula on the dog food advisor. I decided to give this grain free, potato free formula a try. All I can say is - I wish I had found it sooner! My dogs LOVE the taste and after a few weeks of being on it -no more itching or runny eyes!Their coats are shiny and soft & their stool are nice and firm for easy pick up. I am soooo happy I found Brother's! Please don't ever change!
Name: Roberta Jackson, TX
For over a year my daughter's Corgi had diarrhea. We tried everything, including the "prescription" food the vet put her on. I finally took it on myself to do my own research. After reading an article about "leaky gut syndrome", we put Bella on probiotics and researched foods without grains and starches. Brothers Complete fit the bill AND included probiotics and enzymes. Since being fed Brothers Complete Allergy Formula (about 5 months now), Bella's diarrhea has cleared up and she is a completely different dog. Her energy level has increased tremendously and her overall health has improved. We look forward to trying the other "flavors" and the new grain free, potato free biscuits!
Thank you Brothers for creating such a wonderful products!

Name: Alexandra Brewer
This is the best kibble ever. My German Shepherd, Dante had horrible yeasty ears, hair loss, skin lesions, and constant diarrhea for as long as I had him, from eight weeks of age. Finally after stumbling upon the Dog Food Advisor website, I gave Brothers a try. Within two weeks the diarrhea was gone, no more yeasty ears, all his hair grew back, no more lesions. He is now a gorgeous black shepherd, his coat is magnificent. He is a healthy 16 month old.
Thank you so much for the wonderful product
Name: Sue Muntz & Bachan
Bachan has been eating Brothers White Meat formula as part of her diet for over a year now. This is a consistently made, high quality product. It works very well with her raw/home cooked food. Bachan is in great shape and her coat looks like its been polished.
I have tried a lot of different premium dry dog foods over the past 4 years, but I'm sticking with Brothers! Thanks for a great product.
Name: peter london
We love the brothers allergy formula. It has made a tremendous difference with our Labrador retriever. His coat is shinier and he never has dry skin anymore. He stomach is a lot better because of this food. He had very bad intestinal problems with digestion. There is no more throwing up or diarrhea. I would recommend this food for everyone who wants a healthier happier dog. Thank you Brothers!
