MemberThe ingredient list looked solid when I checked it out – higher meat content than some others and no sketchy fillers. Plus, it’s grain-free which works great for him as he has a sensitive tummy.
That said, every dog is different so what works for Max might not be ideal for your fur buddy. If you’re considering a switch, maybe introduce it slowly and see how your dog responds? Also worth checking in with your vet if you’re unsure. Best of luck with it!

MemberOh man, I’ve been feeding my golden retriever, Rusty, Badlands Ranch dog food for about a year now. He’s a bit of a picky eater but he loves this stuff. I’ve noticed his coat looks shinier annd he definitely has more energy during our morning walks.
The ingredient list looked good to me too – no artificial stuff, all natural and grain free which is perfect for Rusty. He had some small allergies with other foods before but since switching over, we haven’t seen any issues. Plus, it comes in several flavors which makes rotating his diet simpler.
Only slight downside is the price point… it’s a tad pricey for regular use especially if you have more than one four-legged friend at home. But heck, for the quality, I reckon it’s worth every penny. Just my two cents!
Have you tried out their wet food yet? Rusty hasn’t done canned food consistently, but am thinking about mixing it up a bit. Anyone had any experiences with that?

MemberThe ingredients list looks pretty clean to me: real meat as the first ingredient, no nasty fillers or by-products. However, I did notice that it’s grain inclusive, which may not work for dogs with allergies or digestive issues related to grains. My boy handled it without a hiccup though.
It’s a tad pricey compared to some other brands but I think it’s worth it considering the top-grade stuff they’re putting in there.
Hope this helps! Do keep an eye on your pup though and see how they react to any new foods – all dogs are different after all! Cheers!

MemberI was attracted to the whole idea of natural ingredients and grain-free formula. It’s supposed to be more biologically appropriate for our furry friends and I guess my dogs do seem pretty darn content with it. Health-wise, they’ve got shiny coats, good energy levels, and no upset tummies or anything.
One thing though, if you’re on a bit of budget like me, the price can be a pinch, but hey, I reckon our fur babies are worth every penny. Anyway, every pup is different so best of luck finding what works for your little buddy! Remember to transition slowly if you decide to switch foods. Cheers!

MemberI’ve got to say, I’m really impressed with the quality of this food. Barkley’s coat has become much shinier and fuller than before, which was a pleasant surprise beyond the digestive benefits we were seeking. He also devours each meal like he hasn’t eaten in weeks – apparently loves the taste!
The ingredients list is also pleasing. It seems they focus on using whole, natural stuff rather than by-products or fillers. The primary ingredient is usually a real quality meat which is something that works for Barkley’s stomach.
That said, it’s not exactly cheap—but then again, quality rarely is. I think the health benefits are totally worth the cost. Plus, a happy, healthy pup hogging the couch each night? Priceless!
In general, I’d highly recommend giving Badlands Ranch a try if you’re considering switching foods – especially if your pooch has any sort of digestive issues. Remember though, not all dogs are alike so it’s always best to consult with your vet first.
Hope this review helps! 🐾

MemberJust recently switched my Golden, Bailey, over to Badlands Ranch kibble and thought I’d share my experience. So far, I’ve been fairly impressed! Bailey seemed to take to it instantly – went straight for it as soon as hit the bowl. She can be a rather picky eater but this one is a hands-down favorite for her.
The ingredients listed also seem to be high-quality with no filler materials that you know are bad for your fur-babies. Nice protein count and grain-free which is great since Bailey has a sensitive tummy.
The price does sting a little, won’t lie, but if your budget allows or if you’re up for spoiling your doggo for a change, might be worth considering.
On delivery though, the bag was torn once. I called their customer service and they shipped out another bag pronto, so bonus points there!
That’s about it from me – happy feeding y’all!

MemberBut I did notice that it took a while for their tummies to adapt – a minor upset during the first few days of switching. Not sure if it was the brand or just a typical reaction to change. If you decide to switch, I recommend doing it gradually to give your little scamps time to adjust.
Every dog is different, so what worked for mine might not necessarily work for yours. All in all, however, I have had a pretty positive experience with Badlands Ranch. You might wanna give them a try but always keep an eye on how your dog reacts. Hope this helps!

MemberTo cut to the chase – it’s a little pricey, but IMO you get what you pay for. The ingredient list is impressive with high-quality meats and no fillers like corn or soy, which Archie is sensitive to. Pus, having peace of mind knowing I’m feeding him something that’s not gonna mess up his stomach? Priceless.
Also appreciate their dedication to sustainability. And they have stellar customer service, sorted out an issue with delivery once in under 24 hours.
Only downside might be their limited range. Archie doesn’t get bored easily (bless him), but if your pup likes variety, this could be a turnoff.
So far, so good for us though! Hope this helps anyone on the fence 🙂

MemberOverall, I’d say that I’m pretty satisfied with my choice. His coat has never been shinier, his energy is through the roof, and best of all – no more allergies! He’s a big fan of their bison and sweet potato variety too; goes crazy as soon as he hears the bag crinkling.
But there’s also the flip side to consider. It does tend to be pricier than most other brands out there – so it might not suit everyone’s pocket. Also, getting it locally can sometimes be a hassle if you live in a smaller town like mine; ended up subscribing on an online pet store for regular delivery.
So overall? Given Rex’s improvement, I’m sticking with Badlands Ranch for now. But yeah, definitely do your own research basis your pup’s needs and don’t forget to consult your vet before switching diets! Hope this helps 🙂

MemberJust read your post and thought I’d share my experience with Badlands Ranch dog food. I switched my Lab, Benny, onto it about 6 months ago and honestly, we’ve had a pretty positive experience so far. He’s got more energy than ever and his coat―oh boy, it’s glossier!
He was struggling with some digestive issues on his old grub, but since the switch―nada! His pooch poos are back to normal. Personally, I love how it’s grain-free too since Benny has a minor grain allergy.
That being said, every pup is different. Benny loves the Bison & Pumpkin flavour but wasn’t too enthused about the Salmon & Sweet Potato one – wouldn’t touch it. Plus the kibbles are a bit larger than most other brands, so keep that in mind if you’ve got a smaller breed or older dog who may have trouble chewing.
The biggest bugbear for me thogh is the price – it’s definitely on the steep side compared to others in the market. But then again, you’re paying for quality ingredients and good health for your furry friend.
All things considered, It’s been a thumbs up from me and Benny for Badlands Ranch dog food! Hope this helps in your decision making.

MemberHis coat’s got this glossy shine that wasn’t really there before and his energy levels are off the charts. We did try out a few other brands before sticking with Badlands and none seemed to agree with him as well as this one. I’ve also noticed his digestive issues have significantly improved.
There’s a lot of good stuff in there like whole meats, fruits, and veggies—no grain or artificial stuff either which I know can be problematic for some pups. The kibble size is good too, not too big, not too small.
So far so good on our end! Another plus is that they deliver right at your doorstep which has been a godsend especially during these times. Just remember though every dog is unique and what works for mine might not work for yours. So, if any odd symptoms creep up after switching foods, definitely reach out to your vet.
Hope this helps! Good luck figuring out the best diet for your pup. It really can be a journey in itself 😂🐕🦺🍲🦴

MemberSpot (my golden retriever) and I recently switched to Badlands ranch dog food, and so far, it’s been a game-changer!
First things first, Spot loves the taste. Previously, he’d often leave food in his bowl or wasn’t as enthusiastic about meal times, but with this stuff, his bowl is licked clean every time.
The ingredient list impressed me too – real meat as the primary component alongside nutritious veggies and minimal fillers. Feels good knowing what I’m feeding my boy isn’t just flavor, but also beneficial for his health.
Noticed a visible difference in Spot’s coat condition as well – shiny and less shedding which our couch appreciates! His energy level seems boosted too.
One downside thogh – it’s a bit pricier than our old kibble. But hey, if it means giving Spot a healthier diet, it worths every penny. At least that’s how I see it.
Would love to know others’ experience on this. Keep those tails wagging everyone!

MemberI saw your post asking about Badlands Ranch dog food. I’ve been feeding it to my good old lab, Rusty, for about a year now. I’ve got zero complaints! His coat is shinier, he’s more energetic and, best of all, he zooms toward his bowl like there’s nothing else in the world when it’s chow time!
Just one small thing: the kibbles are kinda large so smaller pups might have a hard time chomping down. But hey, Rusty doesn’t mind – just gives him something to sink his teeth into! I would totally recommend trying it out but mabye get a small bag first to see if your fur baby likes it!
Paws up from Rusty and me! 🐾

MemberOver the past week or so, I’ve noticed Max’s coat looking extra shiny and his energy levels are through the roof! Plus, no digestive woes which is a big plus since Max can sometimes have quite a sensitive tum.
So far so good, folks! Hoping these positive changes keep on rolling in. But hey Smart Pro Pet Groomer says, “It was a hit with our dog.” So if you’re thinking about making the switch to Badlands Ranch… go for it! Can’t hurt to try. Would love to hear other people’s experiences too if you’ve tried it out on your four-legged companion. Cheers!

MemberThe ingredient list is really impressive too. Love that it’s grain-free since grains aren’t exactly part of a natural dog diet anyway. Plus it incorporates bison and venison which are great lean protein sources for pups. Max seems to really dig the taste, and trust me, he can be picky. That said, I guess the taste wouldn’t matter much if it wasn’t doing him any good but clearly, it does.
We’re about two weeks into the switch and no upset tummies so far, thank goodness! If anything changes down the line, I’ll make sure to share an update here.
By the way, price-wise it leans more to the high-end side but given that you’re essentially investing in your furbaby’s health, pretty worth it in my book. Just grabbed another bag off Amazon yesterday; their prices seem fair compared to other retailers.
So yeah, count me and Max as fans of Badlands Ranch dog food for now! Would certainly recommend giving it a shot if you’re thinking about making a switch.
Hope this helps anyone on the fence!
Happy tails everyone 🐾🙂
