About Simply Nourish
Simply Nourish is a premium pet food brand owned by American Nutrition, a trusted manufacturer that has been around since 1972. Simply Nourish doesn’t have its own website and it’s hard to find a lot online about the founding of the company. Although after doing some research, we’ve discovered that the brand is consistently meeting USDA, FDA and AAFCO standards.
Since May 2011, the PetSmart company exclusively distributes the Simply Nourish label across America, Canada and Puerto Rico. But you can also purchase some products online at Chewy and Amazon.
Simply Nourish prides itself on creating pet food that uses all-natural ingredients free from additives or artificial chemicals. They deliver optimum nutrition for both dogs and cats made available in four lines: Whole Health for specific life stages, Limited Ingredients for food-sensitive pets, Grain-Free and Source for high protein and low carb recipes.
Mark Finke, Ph.D. Nutritional Sciences, a nutritional expert for PetSmart, told Business Wire “Simply Nourish believes in making pet nutrition simple and understandable by using carefully-sourced, wholesome ingredients that are recognized by our pet parents, like real deboned chicken and a superfood blend of real fruits and vegetables.”

The top dry dog food from simply nourish is a high-quality limited ingredient formula. It has received consistently positive reviews, namely in regard to how gentle it is on dogs’ stomachs. Which makes sense since it markets itself as a limited ingredient recipe!
With deboned salmon as the number one ingredient, it packs a punch with quality protein at 26%, right around the industry average. Where it does really stand out as far as the guaranteed analysis is concerned, is the 7.5% fiber. It gets much of this fiber from sweet potatoes. This is great for digestion, so now the reviews are starting to be backed up by the ingredients in this recipe. Made without the use of fillers, artificial flavor, colors or preservatives this recipe gets two big thumbs up from us here at Dogz N Pawz.
Customer reviews:
“My 2 year black lab, husky mutt has a VERY sensitive stomach. She’s had loose stool for weeks and I’ve spent so much time trying to find a food that works for her. I started thinking maybe it was a grain problem. I switched to this food and within 3 days she’s having regular stool. It’s honestly a lifesaver. She’s an extremely picky eater and she eats it without much of a hassle from me. I’m impressed how quickly this helped her.”
“My little female chihuahua Peanut loves this food. When I rescued her at the age of 1 she wasn’t happy at all and her general health was ok. After switching her to the Simply Nourish right away, she not only loved the food, but she filled out and her coat became soft and shiny. She doesn’t scarf the food down like I’ve had dogs do in the past – she eats it as she pleases throughout the day. I would recommend this food to anyone for their dog. The only drawback could be the cost.”
