My auto ship was not shipped. I’m OUT of dog food now I’ve been on auto ship since 2017. Replacement should have immediately gone out-expedited….now it’s Sat and still NO dog food.

I haven’t got my shipment yet. It was suppose to be here on Friday. Fed ex has delivered it to the wrong house They sent you’ll a picture that is not my house. I’m afraid I’m gone to run out of my dogs food. It’s now Monday and I’m calling back today

Breeders get a 10% commission for pushing this product. There are plenty of great dog foods for active, large breed puppies who are going to be workers. So, when a breeder says that his guarantee only is good if someone feeds just ONE particular brand of dog food and research indicates that Life's Abundance uses a multi-level marketing scheme by suggesting such a ploy to breeders and giving them a commission, both the breeder and the food company are acting unethically just to increase their revenue to unwitting buyers. My gundog puppy readily scarfed it down when I got him, but only for about a month. Now, suddenly, he developed an aversion to this food. Hence, I switched my dog to a dog food that almost every gun dog owner I know uses, and he loves it! We have had no side effects and he continues to grow and thrive. Another friend got a golden retriever, and that breeder also pushed Life’s Abundance with the same guarantee scheme. That puppy developed a similar food aversion and also runny stools (which fortunately my puppy did not). Independently, both my friend and I contacted Life's Abundance to figure out if we got a bad batch. They claimed we did not. Then, after reading several reviews, I noted that other (not all) owners witnessed a similar aversion to the food after 1-3 months. Both the Labrador and Golden Retriever are known for being hearty eaters, especially as puppies. As long as they have not been exposed to human food and table scraps, they are well known as food-driven beasts. So, how bad must this food taste for these sporting dog breeds to avoid it, despite all of the Calories that they burn with all our training and field work? Also, the price is rather exorbitant, and their "recommended" daily portions substantially are larger than what other high-quality dog food companies recommend-- sometimes almost twice what other companies recommend for the same breed type, age, and weight. So, the company tries to get you both ways-- buying a highly exorbitant bag of kibble and recommending large portions. I now am using a different, high-quality product that most gun dog owners use. The bag is less expensive (but still not cheap), and the recommended portions make much more sense. For example, according to Life's Abundance chart, my 4-6 month puppy who now weighs 41 pounds should be getting somewhere between 4 3/4 to 5 3/4 cups of their food per day. Anyone who previously has owned a puppy knows that recommended amount is ridiculous. On the other hand, a competitor's brand recommends that I only give my dog 1 3/4 to 3 1/2 cups per day! (He gets 2 to 2.5 cups/day of the food and is growing, gaining his stamina, and remains energetic.) I contacted the breeder, and-- despite the fact that my puppy continues to grow and develop quite an athletic physique and remains very active, he would not honor the guarantee. Frankly, I have no idea what a guarantee means-- it's not as if I am going to return the puppy after all of our bonding and how well he is doing with his training on a high-value, well-reviewed kibble that just happens not to be Life's Abundance. The multi-level marketing scheme is something that I am going to avoid the next time I get a puppy. It's completely unethical-- giving breeders a commission, having breeders sell the product by the lure of a "guarantee", charging twice the amount for a similar weighted bag of food by a well-known and reputable competitor, and then recommending that the dog eat twice the volume of food than the competitor recommends. Everything about this marketing is unethical.

I did not place this on auto renewable, but still received the products.

I got 1 email saying my autoship was being sent out. Two bags were delivered and I was charged for 2 bags which I don't need. I've been buying this dog food for over 14 hrs. and this has never happened before. If I had gotten 2 emails re. autoship, I would have called to cancel one. Called but they said it was on me.

I have ordered my dog food for 3 years now and never had an isse. today I order and they call me to say i needed to update my payment information becuse it did not go thru. I provided them with proff and they said its my issue then I go ahead and give them my card info agina and they cahrge me a second time. when I ask about the double charge i was told to call amex and hung up on me. No cal;l back. terriable customer service and I will adise everyone to stay way including myself.

This company's online-only model and poor communication left my puppy without food. I ordered on 2/12, expecting delivery within 1-3 days (ETA 2/15), but it's now 2/17 and still no food. My puppy's food ran out, and suddenly switching brands isn't recommended by my vet. Customer service was unavailable over the weekend. On Monday, I finally learned the Oregon fulfillment center was closed 2/13 and 2/14 due to weather. Inexcusably, I wasn't notified of this delay, despite having an account with contact information. Customer service admitted only "autoship" customers were informed – a ridiculous policy. A simple email would have allowed me to make alternate arrangements. Now, I'm forced to feed my puppy rice and chicken or switch foods abruptly. There's still no estimated delivery date, and customer service guessed another four days. A paltry $8.85 shipping refund was offered, and a full refund was only suggested if I wanted the package returned to the fulfillment center – an absurd solution. The company's fulfillment process is clearly flawed, their communication is unacceptable, and their customer service is unhelpful. I strongly recommend choosing a pet food brand with better availability and customer support. Consider Purina Pro Plan or other vet-recommended alternatives available locally.
