    I received Nutrience Grain Free Canadian Pacific free to test out from #Chickadvisor.

    As soon as I got home my dog (Sadie) went nuts. She was all over the bag trying to open it and sniff it out.
    I knew it was going to be a hit!

    I loved how the bag I seals back up, I wish all brands did this. So, it stays fresher longer and no bugs getting into the bag.

    I slowly gave Sadie some as a treat for a few days. She ate it up quick and always came back for more. She didn't want to eat her regular dog food. She has been loving it since. I started off after mixing it with her regular food, she would just pick out the Nutrience dog food and leave the rest on the floor. Now, that's all she wants to eat.

    I like it's made in Canada! They are small kibbles which is quite nice. The Canadian Pacific does have a strong scent, but it doesn't bother us and it doesn't bother Sadie either. Its like she's eating fresh fish.

    My only issue is the price, it is quite expensive than what I normally buy now. I love all the bonuses it has though.

    I received a full size bag of the Prairie Red dog food free to #TrySubZero for two weeks and review it. I have two dogs, one that is over ten and another that is about two, so I was curious to see if they'd both equally enjoy it. I transitioned them over the course of about a week, mixing their normal food with the new food a little more each day.
    They seemed to love the flavour, and my smaller, older dog is usually very picky about what he eats.
    I did notice that their coats seemed shinier and the older dog especially seemed to have added energy. My other dog is part boxer so he has tons of energy already, so that is hard to gauge if he had more or not.
    I would recommend this product and with the coupon provided, I look forward to trying one of the other flavours next time. It is more expensive than a pet food that you'd buy at a Walmart or that type store, but I usually feed them specialty food anyway, so this was within that price point.

    I received the Nutrience Sub Zero Prairie Red formula for free to try with my dogs. This is my own opinion based on the 10 days I have been using it.
    I have a 9 year old Husky cross and a 1 year old Sheltie cross. Both of my dogs loved it. During the transition period, I would find that they had picked out the Nutrience and left behind the previous brand (we buy in bulk at Costco). My 9 year old dog is shedding a bit less (which is a huge bonus!!!) and over the past few days, has been playing with our younger dog (very unusual as he is like a grumpy old man). My little dog seems to have a shinier coat. I don't see much change in his behaviour, he has lots of energy all of the time. I can say that they seem to be needing "outside" less.
    The food smells good, like meat. We previously used a high end dog food and I feel the Sub Zero has a "real" food aroma. I loved the list of ingredients. My dogs have really enjoyed the taste. I would definately buy it again, although I will have to rearrange my budget quite a bit to do so. The quality is amazing but a small bag is $30. It is worth it though. I am really impressed by this food.
    The only thing I wasn't pleased with was not being able to find any instruction on portion sizes. It was a guessing game to figure out how much to feed them. I was very impressed with the transition information.
    I will buy this, in bulk.

    My dogs loved it. Both of them seemed to eat it with a lot of appetite. The size of the bites is too little to my liking (I have 2 big dogs) which makes it really easy for them to eat it all at the same time if I don't stop them, but they really did seem to love it. When I opened the bag, they came running and were sniffing everywhere as it did smell really good to them :) I got Prairie Red and it was a success with my two adorable beasts :)

    I have the Fraser Valley flavour for my dog and she loves it! She's a picky eater but not when it comes to this food. I love the fact that it's Canadian and that I can understand the ingredients. The fact that it is grain free also makes me feel better about what I'm feeding my dog. It's great when you can notice a difference in your dog's behaviour and coat when feeding them this. I have tried Blue Buffalo and Orijen and I really found that Nutrience SubZero is way more effective. Definitely going to purchase more flavours!

    We loved this sample!! Our English bulldog was already on a salmon/grain free pet food of a different brand so the transition was hard. She loves this food and I find it has her coat feeling and looking much better. For our other dog, we mix it in with his regular food for a treat and he loves it! A little on the pricier side for food, but coupons help! And our daughter was soooo excited about the selfie stick. The print on the box had me in stitches though! Still have to take our petselfie! Great product!

    I got the Nutrience Grain Free SubZero Dog Food to try for free in the Fraser Valley flavour. The primary ingredient in this one was chicken along with some turkey and fish. The dogs really liked this dry dog food. What i liked about it is tthat judging from the ingredients alone this is an above average dry dogfood. There is a lot of quality stuff in here which is good for the dogs. We eased the dogs slowly into it by giving them a bit more each day. It says the retail value is $31.99 which is a bit steep but i have seen it advertised in some places for less.

    My dog Ginger tried the Nutrience Grain Free Canadian Pacific Formula and she is loving it! She had the opportunity to try it for free from the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. The smell of fish upon opening the bag was pretty strong, but as long as Ginger likes it, I like it too. Instead of seeing "Ground yellow corn, chicken by-product meal, corn gluten meal, whole wheat flour" as the first ingredients on the list, I see "Salmon, herring, hake, sole, cod, flounder, sebastes, cod liver" on the Nutrience SubZero dog food, you really get what you paid for! It's a little pricy but I actually can see the difference in fur quality, stool consistency and overall energy level of my dog! Ginger's coat has gotten a bit shinier, not as dry and dull looking as 2 weeks ago. We started noticing a softer (but still firm) stool almost immediately after she transitioned to Nutrience. I have already purchased a second bag with the $5.00 off coupon because of how wonderful the food is and how much she enjoys it. I bought her the Prairie Red formula to mix up the taste and to add a little variety to her diet. The Prairie Red formula smelled like liver compared to the fish smell of the Canadian Pacific Formula, but both are definitely just as nutritious!

    P.S Thank you for the Nutrience Selfie Stick, I wanted to take a picture with my dog while she was eating but she was enjoying the food so much that she wouldn't let me get close :P

    Motzu received his Nutrience Sub Zero, in the Canadian Pacific flavour for dogs not too long ago, and so far is LOVING it!! Unfortunately, we can't use the selfie stick because I have a BlackBerry, and can't get the software. HOWEVER, things I've noticed: His coat seems much shinier, and he has a LOT more energy (not that he didn't before...but now, he is just even more energetic), and a BIG bonus, he is not gassy at all...with his previous food, I noticed he was quite gassy which was not fun for us! So basically, a week in, and he LOVES it!!!! I am DEFINITELY going to go out and buy more for him, as I have officially decided to switch him over! It is VERY important to me that he gets the best quality food, with as many natural ingredients and as little "bad stuff" as possible, and the fact that this food is Canadian made is super amazing. Needless to say, I have recommended it to all my friends with dogs. THANK YOU for selecting us to try this amazing product, Motzu is much happier, energetic, (less gassy lol) and overall has a shinier and glossier coat....must be all those omegas from the fish!! Keep making amazing dog food Nutrience!!!

    My senior dog Goldie gobbled this stuff right up. She LOVES it!!!! Goldie is a 12 1/2 year old border collie/ Australian Shepherd. She can be very fussy when it comes to her food, even refusing to eat at times. I will definitely be buing her this food. She experienced no stomach problems with the transition. Thank you Chickadvisor!
