SportMix customer reviews

Overall, customers are satisfied with SportMix products. These products are very good at providing dogs with the right amount of energy. This is especially true of Premium formulas, which are great for supporting muscle building and maintenance. That is, these products are most beneficial for sports and working dogs. 

Proteins are well digestible and provide enough nutrients for dogs. The balance of other macronutrients is also optimal, so you don’t have to worry about dogs not getting enough energy during the day. Most customers can’t wait for the SportMix brand to have wet dog food as well.

What do customers like about SportMix dog food?

The most positive factor for customers regarding SportMix products is their relatively high protein content. They do not contain excess moisture and soy. 

Other useful ingredients are usually found in these dog foods. Examples include omega fatty acids, which are responsible for the health of dogs’ skin and coat. The added glucosamine and chondroitin support the joints of athletes or elderly dogs.

What do customers don’t like about SportMix dog food?

Chicken meat by-products are common in SportMix products. These should not be a problem in healthy dogs. However, in many dogs, these ingredients can cause sensitization or allergies.

We often find unspecified meat meals in Premium formulas. According to SportMix, they are only made from premium meats, but in many cases the meat meal is a lower quality part of the animals.

Another questionable ingredient is corn. It is a great source of energy, however, it can cause sensitivity in many dogs. Corn is not considered a premium ingredient, but rather a cheap source of energy.

SportMix recall history

SportMix has never had a recall. The products are of good quality and the production facilities and conditions are adequate. This is a very good performance considering how long this brand has been around.
