Product Description
EVO Dog Small Bites Dry Dog Food formula is based on ground chicken and turkey meat, bones, fat, cartilage and connective tissue. It includes whole, raw fruits and vegetables which contain health promoting phytochemicals and micronutrients. They are the same ingredients you've come to expect from our Adult Dry Food, but in smaller kibble sizes for smaller dogs. We understand that it isn't always possible to feed your pet a raw diet. This is until now. EVO is also a convenient, complete and balanced supplement to a raw feeding program.

 good food October 24, 2008
my small dogs got sick at first from the high meat content in it but they seemed to get used to it. I will not buy again it is to expensive.
 Fabulous food for sensitive tummies September 18, 2008
I started my dogs on this when Canidae switched their ingredient profile and we discovered that my Boston Terrier had severe allergies to Barley and allergies to a variety of other grains. She had had a 'sensitive' stomach since I brought her home 6 months prior as an adult rescue, with runny stools, gas and such, it turned out she actually had a milder food allergy to rice as well. After trialing 5 other dog foods with no success, she has had no issues since starting her on Evo! Stools are normal, no more gas, her coat has gotten even shinier, her energy level increased, and she's just a happier dog. Since she's a 'food stealer', I started my Miniature Pinscher on it as well, he, always a picky eater and thin, cleans his bowl now and wants more! He competes in agility and since the food switch, I now do not have a problem keeping his weight on, wheras before I was always trying to stuff him with higher fat foods. Though it is on the expensive side, it's nothing compared to the vet bills I accumulated as a result of the food allergies! I'll spend more $ on their food to avoid the issues I had before and have a happier, healthier dog.
My pet's food of choice September 14, 2008
I used to feed my dog the usual dry food from the store. He barely used to eat and when he did it was very reluctantly. I decided that something had to change and about a year ago switched to Innova. I haven't looked back since. My 2 year old aussie husky
just loves this thing. He is healthier, happier and has a softer coat.
The only snag is that I never buy this from Amazon. I am a prime member and just don't believe in paying close to $20 for shipping. Once this gets on Amazon prime, I will always buy from Amazon. Until then, its a better deal for me to drive to a distributor near my house and then buy it.
Best, dogfood, ever! August 13, 2008
This is my ONLY choice for any present or future dog that I will have! I have a 10-year-old Pomeranian, which is a rescue. I got him when he was 2-years-old. He was raised on Diamond, which isn't the best of pet quality. At the time, one of the best foods was Nutro Max, even then I never seen a dog puke [diarrhea too] so much on his food. I used to think it was the fact he scarfed it down too fast, but if I knew then what I knew now about them. :[
I had gotten a rescue chihuahua, and he was the cutest little guy! Of course he was a rescue too. Over the course of two years, he developed some major skin issues. It was too the point where he was self-mutilating, and all he wanted to do is hide in his crate. We had switched foods over to Natural Balance, thinking that was the best option. While we went from vet to vet to vet, with no results to his issues. Immune blocking medications didn't work, steroid shots helped temporarily. While on N.B, my Pomeranian got huge from all of the potato content. He had portion control, but could hardly walk because of his loose kneecaps were aggravated by that high-carb food. With dogs, even with an allergy food you have to feed them the exact same things, or they will try to each other's food. Dogs are just as bad as toddlers.
It was the recall of 2007, that opened my eyes to proper pet nutrition. My chihuahua was put down that summer as well, was it due to the poor food brands over the years, was it genetic? I will never know. The vets couldn't figure anything out.
Toward the end of that time I found out N.B was of course part of the list for food recall. They had formulated the ingredients without telling the customers, they were using a rice protein that of course was imported from China. At first that was denied by the company, but they finally fessed up about it. I was totally appalled by this brand that I trusted and used for about 5 years.
Now, comes the point of EVO. I did my research, and found this to be a great high-protein, no-filler dog food. The only reason why I didn't know about it before, was the fact distribution around here with the brand, there's not many places this is really carried at. Even though, now that has improved greatly. Even though my chihuahua got this towards the last season of his life. His skin never improved, but he was a tad feistier. My Pomeranian that could barley walk [yelped when he did], now runs around, and jumps with ease onto the high couch. His BMI is back to normal, and his energy for a 10-year-old is still amazingly puppy-like. He wrestles with our Persian, and places with his toys. The kibble is small and round, which is easy for smallest of dogs to chew. My Pomeranian treats the food like it's a steak. So, I won't ever plan on changing his brand ever again. When he's gone, I plan on using this for other future dogs. I highly recommend this and the cat version [for the cat owners of course].
Safe for small dogs June 25, 2008
I read a few reviews on here as well as on other customer review sites that said that EVO was meant for working dogs only and that small dogs don't do well on it because of the high protein level which could lead to kidney problems. I have 3 yorkies doing very well on EVO, but I emailed Innova with these concerns anyway. This was the reply:
"Dear pet lover,
Thank you for contacting us about our products. In long-term feeding studies, EVO has performed extremely well and no adverse conditions have been detected. Further, there have been a number of myths promulgated regarding links between protein and kidney failure, aging, and other health related issues. Repeated research studies have simply not been able to substantiate these myths: Quite the opposite. Much of this work has led us to a better understanding of the role that high quality proteins have on health, disease prevention, and even recovery. The EVO is perfectly safe for smaller breed dogs as well as being suitable for puppies.
Please feel free to contact me if you need any additional information or if you have any questions.

My advice: Feed the Evo. I did the research and there is no better food.
