Advance Adult Small Breed Dry Dog Food - Chicken
2 reviews
Another I can rotate with – My girl has issues with pulses any and all, were talking rock hard tummy, lots of gas and she screams in pain a lot. So can’t feed grain free at all, in fact some of our grained foods have pulses which really sucks! You see a food that’s marketed as grains, than in the ingredients peas ahaha. Not helpful. I’ve been stuck feeding her RC together with her main air dried meals and nothing else because everything I’ve wanted to try was either full of wheat and she reacts to that as well or has barley another reactor or full of pulses and there’s like virtually no choice here in Australia for her. Overseas there is plenty of choices, I wish we had more choices.
There is an insect food coming out without pulses, but who knows when that’ll get here and also she’s never liked any insect foods I’ve gotten in the past, like before I realised it was the pulses causing her issues. So probably won’t be added to the rotation.
Anyways because I got obsessed with that topic and couldn’t stop talking about it lol. The Advance she seems to love, does much better on it than the RC actually, her stomach upsets are like zero lately when she eats it. RC started out good, but than progressively got worse for her, no idea why either. Like I’d feed it to her when her stomach was upset and suddenly it didn’t work anymore and up until than it had worked. So I needed to find a new food and also she was getting bored of both the RC’s.
I’m nearly through the 800g bag and yeah will definitely buy the same size again because of how little of it is actually eaten, because as I said air dried is her main.
If at any point she starts not liking it or does poorly and I remember, I’ll come back and below my review I’ll add a note.

Advance reworked their cat formulas to the exact same ingredients across the board and I’m wondering if something changed with the dog formulas. Used to smell like Cheezels, dogs loved it, now I got a bag a few weeks back and it had this terribly potent acidic olive smell and the dogs refused to eat it and I wouldn’t eat anything with that smell either honestly.
Another food bites the dust for me, I’m now left with just RC Mini and nothing else, sigh.
Makes everyone want to vom – Used to buy this for the dogs. They liked it. New formulation - they hate it and will only eat it a bit when they are starving. Worse than that, the smell to humans is disgusting. Won't be buying it again.

Still good by the way, also lost the RC mini and Chi food as they now both hate that and with the mini reformulation it now has ingredients they both can’t have. I tried the Puppy Mini but only the boy likes it and not all the time and than I’m going to try the Chi puppy one too and after that if nothing works, I will simply stick to this. Until a time where I can find another food for them to try, if ever.
I have to replace this like 2-3 times a day, that’s how much they love it. Both seem to have better tummies on it and more energy anyways, so I’m good with using just this as the kibble for now.
