Wysong Anergen Canine/Feline Formula Dry Dog/Cat Food - 5 Pound Bag

I got this for my dog who is extremely sensitive to most foods and she loves it!!!! She loves it so much and has had such a vast improvement since I began feeding it to her that I am considering putting my other dog on it as well!!! The food is not well rated here on Amazon, so I almost did not buy it. However, I did some more digging and a little research and found that, elsewhere, this food is actually highly rated. I decided to give it a try and I'm really glad that I did!!! I have never seen my dog so happy with her food and her poop looks healthier than it ever has!!!! She has always had this habit of nosing her food and pushing it out of her bowl before eating it. I have tried countless numbers of different dog foods for her because as I have mentioned before she has food sensitivities and she has always nosed the food out of her dish, even with the most organic dry food that I could find on the market. But not with this Anergen! She loves this stuff so much that she eats it the moment that it hits her dish and doesn't bother to nose it at all! It's amazing how well she is doing!!!! I'm very satisfied with this product and the quality of the food!!!!!

TERRIBLE FOOD I wrote Wysong asking for a sample of this food before committing to a whole bag, but they never responded. I decided to just get the bag for my feline with a sensitive stomach. He loves the Wysong Epigen, but it doesn't agree with his belly. What a mistake! My other feline with NO stomach issues chomped this plastic smelling food (that should have been my first hint) and vomited the entire contents of his stomach. He never vomits, unlike his food sensitive brother who had more sense to stay away from this stuff. The volume he vomited (I didn't know he could fit that much food in his stomach) along with the oddly colored dark brown orange contents almost made me take him to the vet! Fortunately switching him back to his food solved the problem. It took 1/2 a bottle of Spot Shot and 3 steam cleanings to clean the carpet. This was not an issue of slowly titrating my cat's new food into their systems. This stuff smells terrible and made my healthy cat sick. Wysong wasn't helpful, they didn't even acknowledge my email. I lovED the company and used to use their Epigen. Now I'm on the fence. My cats love their freeze dried food, but I hate the idea of giving money to the company now. Bottom line, don't buy the this Wysong food under ANY circumstances! ------------------------------------------------------------ ***Update**** 4/7/17 ------------------------------------------------------------ *A very long time after posting this review, and without sending an email acknowledging my email request for samples of kitty food, Wysong did send me samples of their dry foods.

My 2 Cats would not eat this Cat food and the smell of it is not so great.

I'm not sure if it's the food or my dog! My dog dug the first bag of food! After searching high & low for a high quality, high protein, ethically sourced dog food that might prove effective in addressing her wicked skin issues, I was beyond thrilled! I ordered 4 more bags & don't know why, she's just not that into it at all now😭. I've got to do my magic or voodoo by adding either sardines, home made broth, eggs, raw steak then, she needs to see me bless it a time or two... you get my drift. Then she digs in. Nevertheless, at least I know she's still getting a quality food. I guess I'm giving it a 50/50. This family owned company has many quality feline/canine food items so I'll keep coming back for one thing or another.

Thank goodness we found it. We have a ferret with IBD (irritable bowel disease - bowel inflammation, chronic diarrhea, stomach upset, weight loss) due to a chicken allergy. Except for this product, it's impossible to find a kibble that's made without chicken products of some kind AND without peas (ferrets can't process peas products, feeding them will causes its own medical issues). I had given up hope we'd find a solution. Not something you want to do when the vets tell you that if you don't get IBD under control, it WILL lead to an early death. We had managed to get her to a semi-reasonable state with meds and a kibble that had chicken meal way down on the list. But she still had loose/unformed stools. Within 48 hours of giving her the Anergen, she's having normal stools. The first in over 9 months. She's also sleeping better and is more active. If she continues to processes the food well, and I don't see why she wouldn't, we should be able to wean her off the meds she's on. Yay! While I think the following questions are totally irrelevant because A) the issue should be whether the food works or not and B) all animals are different...but I'll post them anyway: Does she like it? Yes. Do the other animals (other ferret/cats/dog) like it? Unfortunately...yes. All 7 animals in the house think it's yummy. I'll have to buy larger bags. Does it smell funny like others have claimed? Not at all. What size is the food? Small kibble

I had high hopes for this food since my cat has allergies. I tried mixing it in with the very expensive royal canin ultimino and he ate a little at first. After a few days, he would walk up to the dish and recoil and walk away. He would no longer eat it at all. So then I decided I would use it for the feral cat that I feed outside my house because I didn't want it to go to waste. She had the same reaction. I didn't bother contacting Amazon because they don't give refunds for pet food. After I had left it outside, a peculiar thing happened. In general, if I leave food for the feral cat and she doesn't eat it, the birds will pick it off or the ants will have their heyday. In this case, the food sat untouched for days until I threw it out. Nothing would eat it, not bugs, not worms, not opossums, nada. To me, this is unfit for consumption for any living being. It had a terrible smell and I threw nearly the entire bag away.

The Wysong people sent me samples before ordering from Amazon. That way I could make sure they would eat it. I have been transitioning from the old food. The big test will be if it helps with the scratching. My 14 year old little girl has scratched for four years. I have tried everything but the hypo allergenic food, we will see.

He has severe allergies to chicken and pork and Purina pro plan is getting a bit too expensive. I used the epigen for my ferret with success so I'm trying this with my 90lb dog. His poop looks incredible!! He'll be staying on this food for the foreseeable future.
