The Good: Very nutritious, Good ingredients, Benny enjoys it quite a bit
The Bad: Comparatively expensive, Benny does not absolutely love it
The Basics: Rachael Ray Nutrish Just 6 Lamb Meal & Brown Rice Recipe dog food is the first hard food Benny has gravitated to consistently, even if he is still not super-eager for.
Benny, my family's new English Setter, has been a picky eater the last few months since he joined us. When we first rescued Benny, he was very underweight and he was still resistant to trying new foods more than once. For the first month and a half of Benny being in our home, we worked hard to blend hard foods and wet foods in order to entice him into eating, getting hydrated, and getting his weight back up into a healthy bracket. The longer Benny has been with us, the more we have weened him off the inclusion of wet foods in his diet and worked to find him a dry food that he actually enjoyed on its own. Rachael Ray Nutrish Just 6 Lamb Meal & Brown Rice Recipe dog food is the first dry dog food that has succeeded on that front.
The Rachael Ray Nutrish Just 6 Lamb Meal & Brown Rice Recipe grabs Benny enough to bring him back to the food dish meal after meal and he always seems to get around to eating it. Benny likes and will eat the Rachael Ray Nutrish Just 6 Lamb Meal & Brown Rice Recipe food day after day, though sometimes, it still takes a little additional enticement in order to get him to eat his whole bowl's worth of food.
Basics
Rachael Ray Nutrish Just 6 Lamb Meal & Brown Rice Recipe dog food is a pricier dog food, though I picked it up as my local grocery store was putting it on clearance. The 28 lb. bag has lasted Benny a month and it is likely to take another month for him to finish it off.
A single serving of Rachael Ray Nutrish Just 6 Lamb Meal & Brown Rice Recipe dog food for a dog like Benny is supposed to be 3 cups per day, so the big bag lasts about two months! The Rachael Ray Nutrish Just 6 Lamb Meal & Brown Rice Recipe dog food is made up of little spheroids that are 1/2" in diameter (on their widest axis). The Rachael Ray Nutrish Just 6 Lamb Meal & Brown Rice Recipe smells more mealy than meaty.
Ease Of Preparation
Rachael Ray Nutrish Just 6 Lamb Meal & Brown Rice Recipe is a fully-prepared dry dog food; there is no preparation required for dispensing it. The Rachael Ray Nutrish Just 6 Lamb Meal & Brown Rice Recipe has directions for dispensing based on specific canine weight ranges. The amount of food a dog is given varies surprisingly little, but for Benny, in his weight bracket, Benny gets 3 cups over the course of the day.
Benny’s Reaction
The Rachael Ray Nutrish Just 6 Lamb Meal & Brown Rice Recipe smells more grainy than it smells like something meaty and inviting in that way. Despite that way, whenever Benny hears the little pellets hitting his metal dog dish, he comes running.
Benny eats the Rachael Ray Nutrish Just 6 Lamb Meal & Brown Rice Recipe dog food right away the majority of the time it is placed out in front of him. Despite him consuming this food frequently, Benny will not come running for the Rachael Ray Nutrish Just 6 Lamb Meal & Brown Rice Recipe. At least once a week, Benny will walk over to his dish, smell the food and then walk away. The fact that, even though Benny enjoys this food, he does not eagerly consume it each and every time is a little bit of a detraction for me. Despite that, Benny eats this food more consistently than any other dog food and he does not need it extensively doctored to bribe him into eating it, which is a nice change from every other dog food we have tried with him.

Made primarily of lamb meal, brown rice, and ground rice the first seven ingredients are natural before becoming a chemistry equation I can only assume has to do with preserving the food and keeping it formed.
