Take a look at our latest Step Up To Naturals review.

@allaboutdogfood Replying to @josh Step Up To Naturals from Pets at Home. It's better than their budget range but still lots of room for improvement. #allaboutdogfood #dogfoodreview #dogfood #dogsoftiktok ♬ original sound - AllAboutDogFood

I got this for my 8 month old miniature dachshund. According to the lady she came from Sheffield was a fussy eater and has been chopping and changing her feed. Both Rosie and her poop smelt weird. She was also a little underweight. I've now had her a week on this. She loves it. Her weight has steadily increased and both Rosie and her poop smell absolutely fine.

I don't quite understand, most places recommend approx 1400 calories for a puppy but going off step up guides it's 390 something calories per 100g and feeding 250g is only 975 calories. Anyone else substitute calories instead of grams?

Does anyone else’s pup struggle to chew this??

My puppy was 8 weeks old when she started it. Boil your kettle and add some water so it's just floating. Give it a stir and few time and allow to cool. My Rosie laps it up. I've now started, after a week, slowly reducing how much is wet by keeping a little dry to one side and adding it until of the wet just before I give it to her

Our puppy had really soft poo and we found out it was the kibble causing it. We changed to Step Up To Naturals and his poop immediately improved and is now.... perfect! It has the most gorgeous brown colour and has a lovely consistency. Just beautiful. :P

I found the same with my Rosie. The lady she came from was constantly changing her food. Her poo was wet, smelly and not a good colour. With in days it became more solid. Now it's solid, a good colour and bit a nasty smell
