Has there been any change in the quality of this food? I was hoping to change back as I used it a long time ago but not sure if I’m game to try it again.

In reply to Bruce. Hi Bruce, generally I try and use a bag within a month of opening. How long a dry food keeps for depends on a few things, such as how you store it and what the conditions are, but also how it's been stored and transported since leaving the manufacturer.

We have just tried this with a six year old Lhasa Apso. We checked the review as his poos have become dry and hard. It has now gone in the bin. He has only a small scoop in the mornings and that has been enough to affect him. Ivory Coat Grain Free.

I see Ivory Coat has changed their ingredients list of their food which has also altered their analysis. In my opinion the analysis does not look as good as it does before (lower protein, reduction in omega ratio etc). In your opinion has their new formula improved or got worse? What are the benefits and drawbacks of the new formula? Ivory Coat claim that they are now using real meat (vs what?) and thus since their protein has reduced, it is better quality protein.

In reply to Phoebe. Hi Phoebe, I'm sorry to hear that and hope your dog has fully recovered. Do you have the batch number of the bag? Use by date.

I’ve been using Ivory coat with my German shepherds for years, and I just got a bad batch of dry food… Usually with a bullet proof stomach, he was lethargic, off food and the runs. I count ourselves lucky that’s all he had after googling the company again to find all of this information!

In reply to Johnny Tran. Hi Johnny, I suspect bad batches are the culprit, and with Ivory Coat being widely sold it's also a numbers issue. There's a very interesting post on the APOG Facebook page, especially when you read how many dogs have been affected in the comments.

Our dog has been on ivory coat grain free chicken puppy kibble since 12 weeks. She’s 4 years old now and not a single issue, even after the Chinese company bought them. Maybe there’s been bad batches or the dogs in question having issues have sensitive stomaches?

Ours is a fussy eater as well, she would definitely notice a change in quality and avoid it like the plague lol but she still munches away. It’s not her primary source of nutrition, maybe if she was eating it everyday could be a different story??

Two weeks ago I changed over to the Ivory Coat Natural Health grain free chicken for puppies because I couldn’t get my usual black Hawk one. My puppy is now having huge issues using her bowels. She has been at vet for X-rays and an enema and is still having problems. As advised by vet she is currently just having steamed vegetables to try and help her. I will be taking the new packet back to store for a refund. Over $800 in vet fees so far.
