I and Love and You Dog Food Review and Giveaway

My dogs Ace and Remy got to try the dry and canned dog food from a company called I and Love and You, and we have a chance for your dog to try the food too.

The company’s “Naked Essentials” dry food is grain free, high in protein and made in the USA. It’s made without artificial preservatives, fillers or by-products and contains prebiotics and probitotics for healthy digestion.

The canned “stews” are also grain free and made with healthy ingredients. My dogs couldn’t believe their luck when I put the stew on top of the dry food! “A spoonful of love” the company calls it.

This post is sponsored by I and Love and You.

Leave a comment at the end of this post for a chance to win a FREE bag of dry food and 2 cans of wet food for your dog (two winners). Click here. (This giveaway has ended.)

I and Love and You dog food review

My thoughts on I and Love and You’s dog food:

The food is high quality and I recommend the dry food and the canned food to my readers. The company also makes dehydrated raw diets for dogs, but Ace and Remy haven’t tried it yet.

I appreciate that the is made in the USA, grain free and contains no by products or fillers. (It’s not that grain is necessarily “bad” but dogs and cats simply don’t need them.)

The company also makes dry food and canned food for cats as well as treats and chews for dogs.

I and Love and You suggested I put a spoonful of the stew on top of a dish of dry food for the dogs. This, of course, was a big hit!

(We’re giving away a bag of dry food and two cans of wet food to two readers so your dogs can have a chance to try the food too. Just leave a comment below to enter.)

My Lab mix Ace and my weimaraner Remy loved the food! Actually, Ace even ran over and ate Remy’s food while I got distracted! Something he would normally NEVER do!

Cost of the food

I and Love and You is available at various online retail locations such as Chewy.com as well as in various grocery stores for convenience (such as Whole Foods). ORDER HERE.

In general, the Naked Essentials kibble is about $26.99 online for an 11-pound bag.

A case of one dozen 13-ounce cans of wet food cost around $27 online. Order here.

What’s unique about the company?

I and Love and You said it has donated 47,000 meals to dogs and cats waiting to be adopted in shelters and rescues across the country.

And besides making healthy food, the company promises to be good to the planet. According to its website, its headquarters is 100 percent wind powered and employees use alternative transportation like biking to get to work.

Pros of the dry and canned food:

• Real meat as first ingredients
• Naked Essentials is 30% protein
• Made in USA
• 5-star rating on Dog Food Advisor (dog food review site)
• No fillers or by-products
• Free of grains, corn, wheat, soy and rice
• No artificial preservatives, flavors or colors
• For convenience, the food is sold at several grocery stores (Whole Foods, Sprouts Farmers Market, etc.)
• The Naked Essentials kibble contains prebiotics and probiotics for healthy tummies

Cons:

• The “lamb and bison” variety of dry food lists bison as the 11th ingredient. Lamb is the first, followed by chicken. I was hoping there would be more bison in the food.
• I had a hard time finding the larger bags (23 lbs) of dry food online. With larger dogs, I prefer to order larger amounts of food at once.

Would I buy I and Love and You’s food?

Yes. Although I’m happy with the food my dogs are currently eating, I’m going to purchase I and Love and You’s dry food for my cats. I’ve been looking for a grain-free, high-quality brand for them, and this is available on Chewy.com where I already order their food. Here’s a link to the cat food.

Would I recommend the food to others?

Yes. This is a high-quality food made with healthy ingredients from a company I trust. If you are looking for a high-quality dry food, wet food or dehydrated raw food, I definitely suggest you look into I and Love and You.

Both the dry “Naked Essentials” kibble and the stews come in a variety of protein sources. View them all here.
