Reviews
Great Food For Goldendoodles!!
"My dog LOVES this food! 🐶 I’ve cooked fresh food for him for years because he’s never been a fan of kibble and has struggled with diarrhea with other foods. I honestly didn’t think I’d find a kibble he would get excited about, but this one has been a game changer for us! He actually enjoys eating it, and I love having a convenient option that he loves. I still add frozen peas and carrots on top because those are some of his favorites, but that’s just an added bonus! So happy to have found something that works for him. Definitely recommend! ❤️"
Settles In Well
"Sensitive stomachs can be tricky, especially with an active dog that still needs a solid meal. This food has been pretty easy to work into the routine, and the chicken and barley formula seems to sit well without making meals complicated. The probiotics and prebiotics are a nice bonus too. Nothing flashy, just a practical option when digestion needs a little more attention."
Easier on the Stomach
"Finding a food that sits well with an active dog can take some trial and error. This one has been pretty easy on the stomach, with normal digestion and less fuss around mealtime. The chicken-based recipe and added probiotics are a nice combination, especially for dogs that can be a little sensitive. Energy has stayed steady too, which matters with dogs that are always ready to work or train. Nothing complicated, just a solid everyday food that seems to agree with them."
A Warrior’s Happy Belly
"Even a brave little warrior needs a happy belly! The chicken and barley recipe caught my attention because it includes prebiotics and probiotics for digestive support. Keeping meals gentle and consistent makes a difference, especially for active pups ready to charge into their next outdoor adventure. Mushu would definitely approve of those happy tails!"
Happy Gut, Happy Pup
"Switching foods can be tricky with dogs that have sensitive stomachs, so keeping meals consistent matters. The chicken and barley recipe is easy to serve, and having prebiotics and probiotics included is a plus. It’s always a relief when mealtime goes smoothly and the pups can get back to running around and enjoying their day!"
Easier Meals, Happier Bellies
"Finding a food that agrees with a dog’s stomach takes some patience, especially when you have active dogs who spend a lot of time outdoors. A chicken and barley recipe with added probiotics caught my attention because digestive health is just as important as keeping them fueled for daily activities. The freeze-dried pieces add a nice touch, and having chicken as the main ingredient is a plus. Any food change needs to be introduced slowly, but a consistent feeding routine makes it easier to keep track of how a dog responds. It’s a solid option to consider when looking for everyday nutrition with some extra digestive support."
Easy on the Belly
"Keeping a dog's stomach settled can make a big difference, especially when changing routines or spending more time outdoors. Chicken as the main ingredient and the added prebiotics and probiotics caught my attention since digestion is something worth keeping an eye on. A food designed for different life stages is also convenient when you want to keep feeding routines simple. The ingredient combination sounds worth considering for dogs with sensitive stomachs, and the added support for dogs in need is a nice touch."
Happy Tummy, Happy Paws!
"A happy pup means more tail wags, playful zoomies, and fewer tummy worries! Finding food that agrees with a dog's stomach can be a bit of a guessing game, so a chicken recipe with prebiotics and probiotics sounds promising. The sweet potato nuggets are a fun little bonus, too! Good nutrition matters, especially for active dogs who love exploring trails and sniffing out every little adventure. Definitely something worth keeping an eye on as part of a balanced feeding routine."
Better Bowl Routine
"Finding food that agrees with an active dog's stomach can take a bit of trial and error. Between hikes, training sessions, and the usual backyard zoomies, the last thing anyone wants is an upset tummy interrupting the fun. The chicken recipe with prebiotics and live probiotics caught my attention because digestive health matters just as much as keeping their energy up. I also appreciate having access to a vet team for questions instead of relying on guesswork. I'd introduce it gradually and watch how my dogs respond, since every pup is different."

Why does your food for dogs include dry food and freeze-dried nugs?
Backed by decades of scientific research, dry food (a.k.a. kibble) is the simplest and safest way to ensure that your dog is getting all the nutrients they need in a complete and balanced diet. Developed by expert formulators and board certified vet nutritionists, our dry food recipes feature real animal protein as the first ingredient (no animal by-product meals ever), antioxidant rich superfoods, and pre and probiotics. But we wanted to go a step further, so we added freeze-dried meat and sweet potato nuggets (a.k.a. nugs) to every bag to enhance our food’s flavor and include even more protein. We call it adding extra to the ordinary.
Why should I choose dry food for my dog instead of raw or fresh?
The highly perishable nature of raw and fresh diets can pose health risks from exposure to bacteria such as salmonella, E. coli, and listeria – and they require a lot of time, effort, and expense to store and serve safely. Traveling with a pooch on a raw or fresh diet can present considerable challenges, as can entrusting a pet-sitter to get thawing, feeding, and cleaning right in your absence. Dogs require a properly balanced diet, and raw diets can lack the variety dogs need to get their essential nutrients. Exposure to harmful bacteria can impact not only the health of your dog, but of the people in your home as well. As such, raw food is not recommended for homes with small children or anyone with an underdeveloped immune system.
We kept all this in mind when developing our dry food formula. Our recipes were developed by expert formulators and board certified vet nutritionists to ensure your dog receives all the nutrients they need in a complete and balanced diet as safely and conveniently as possible. Our dry food also includes freeze-dried meat and sweet potato nugs for an extra boost of protein and flavor to appeal to even the pickiest of eaters.
Why does your food include pre and probiotics?
About 70% of the body's immune system is located within the gut – a cool science fact that’s true for both dogs and humans. By taking care of your dog's digestive system, you can do a lot to keep them healthy. Pre and probiotics work together to encourage the growth of beneficial bacteria that can improve digestion and help balance gut bacteria. Benefits include a stronger immune system, better digestive health – less constipation, diarrhea, and gas – improved energy levels, and skin and coat health. Our food has a minimum of 50 million CFUs (colony-forming units) per pound, more than enough for a happy gut (and great poops).
Do Kismet's recipes meet AAFCO standards?
Kismet’s recipes are vet-designed to meet AAFCO guidelines for all life stages.
AAFCO (the Association of American Feed Control Officials) defines and establishes regulations for the pet food industry, and sets standards for nutritional adequacy. They protect not just consumers, but safeguard the health of the animals we love. While AAFCO serves as a great baseline, our dry food recipes are formulated not only to meet the minimum standards, but to exceed them as well. All of our recipes are complete and balanced for dogs at all life stages, meaning they provide your dog the right amount of every nutrient they need daily.
Is your food grain free?
We worked with board certified vet nutritionists to develop recipes that give your dog all the nutrients they need – and nothing they don’t. Grains are complex carbohydrates that provide energy through the delivery of important nutrients. We do not include corn or wheat in our recipes, but we do use high-quality and nutritious grains like brown rice and pearled barley to ensure that your dog is getting essential B vitamins, minerals, and fiber from every meal.
How should I make the switch/transition to Kismet?
For most dogs, the secret to a successful switch is to gradually transition to their new food. Changes in your dog’s diet can disrupt their digestion, but their microbiome (a.k.a. the gut) will usually adjust in about seven to 10 days.
Here’s a guide to transitioning to Kismet:
Days 1 and 2: Feed them 25% Kismet and 75% their former food.
Days 3 and 4: Feed them 50% Kismet and 50% their former food.
Days 5 and 6: Feed them 75% Kismet and 25% their former food.
Days 7+: 100% Kismet!
Every dog is different however, so please see how your dog is doing, and transition more slowly if needed.
