Jinx Dog Food Reviews

Dog food that has been brought to modern-day standards of quality and lifestyle – that’s Jinx dog food.

When you think about commercial dog food being around since 1860, when James Spratt created a high-cost biscuit of wheat, vegetables, beetroot, and prairie meat, and the tremendous changes in the lifestyle of our 21st-century dogs, you can understand why dog owners need to re-evaluate what they are feeding their dogs.

When Acme Canine was asked to review Jinx brand dog food for the modern dog,  we took on the challenge. We had never heard of this dog food but were intrigued by the company’s philosophy of creating a clean, balanced nutritional dog food that meets the modern dog’s diverse needs.

Our canine tester was Bernie, the flat-coated retriever, who volunteered to try it and share his opinion. Jinx offers premium dog food with fast, free shipping and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

What is Jinx

Today, dogs spend about 80% of the day sleeping or lounging and about 4 ½ hours being active.

With this new lifestyle comes the need for dog food that is highly digestible and provides the nutrients to keep these dogs healthy.

Jinx is a new kibble dog food developed by a veterinarian nutritionist, veterinarians, and food safety experts.  Together they created a dog food to match our modern dog’s physiology and lifestyle. The dog food was named after Sameer Mehta (the creator’s) first dog, Jinx.

In our Jinx dog food reviews, you will find that the dog food is made without any corn, soy, or gluten. The food is designed to boost heart health and digestion and can improve a dog’s skin and coat.

Ingredients

Jinx dog food has high-quality proteins (60% animal source & 40% superfoods), prebiotics,  probiotics, Taurine, and Biotin, so the outcome is a highly digestible dog food that promotes strong bones and teeth, maintains muscle, boosts immunity, and allows for vitamin absorption.

After looking at the ingredients and guaranteed analysis, it is clear that Jinx utilizes more quality ingredients than your average supermarket dog food. There are no fillers like corn, wheat, or soy, and the diet is free from animal by-products. It also doesn’t contain pea protein, food dyes, canola oil, MSG, or BHA/BHT.

Additionally, the amount of protein and fat makes this food a good choice for most companion animals.

Here are some additional beneficial takeaways from this diet:

• The first two ingredients are meat and then a meat meal.
• It contains 28% protein, slightly higher than average.
• It contains low-allergen grains like rice.
• There are no red-flag ingredients.
• Contains 20+ natural superfoods for added nutrients
• Patented probiotics for better gut health

Flavors

Jinx dog food comes in chicken and salmon flavors that include grain-free and grain-friendly recipes. This line is more limited than many brands. Still, it consists of a wide variety of options to allow dog owners to rotate regularly or find the right ingredient combination for their dog’s needs.

The Jinx brand not only meets AAFCO minimum standards, but it also exceeds them (by both formulation and by analysis of the finished product), providing you with very high-quality and nutritional dog food.

The company also has rigorous product development and testing processes to ensure Jinx is producing premium dog food. They are committed to continually investing in new technology and ongoing research to drive improvement. Jinx food is created by an expert council of pet nutritionists, veterinarians, and formulators who have a combined experience of over 120 years.

Satisfaction guarantee

Jinx believes so much in their product that they have a guarantee, “Your dog’s happiness is our top priority, and we stand by a bamboozle-free satisfaction guarantee. We’ve worked with the best formulators, ingredient suppliers, and manufacturers to create high-quality food.”

“If your dog has a bone to pick with us because they’re not satisfied, let us know, and we’ll make it right. Give us a bark at support@thinkjinx.com.”

Comparing this dog food brand

Customer reviews also matter when looking for the best dog food brand. So far, we have found that pet owners who have tried Jinx dog food rave about its quality.

Everyone loves the blend of probiotics it contains in its formula, which is rare when you compare it to other dog food options. It may be a tad bit pricier than other options, but you will find it is well worth the price.

Many people also applaud the 100% money-back guarantee Jinx offers. If your pet refuses to eat the food or you are at all dissatisfied with your order, the company will refund the entire amount to you.

With pet parents becoming more conscious about what they are feeding their furry friends, these Jinx dog food reviews have opened our eyes to new, healthier possibilities. The only thing better than this premium kibble is fresh dog food itself.

However, Jinx dog food is more affordable than fresh, and it doesn’t require any refrigeration, making it a more affordable dog food option and more convenient.

The only downside to the pet food is its price. But if you take advantage of the money-saving Jinx subscription option, you will find the higher price for premium dog food is worth it.

Has Jinx ever had a dog food recall?

No. Jinx has never had a dog food recall. They continue to be a dog food delivery service that offers premium kibble and other dog treats made with clean ingredients.

What Acme Canine learned about Jinx

The first thing we noticed when we opened the bag was the smell.  It was a wonderful mixture of herbs and meat flavors.

Bernie can attest that it tasted as good as it smelled. He usually is a little finicky at dinner time and will wait to see what the other dogs eat before eating his meal.  Not with Jinx.  Bernie chowed down his meal immediately without care.

Even though Jinx recommends mixing Jinx kibble gradually, increasing the amount over two weeks, Bernie started right in with 100% Jinx.  We monitored his stools since they are an important indicator of food quality and how dogs respond to them.

Bernie’s stools stayed most well-formed and sticky, ideal (another plus for Jinx dog food).

As far as negatives on the product, we really couldn’t find any.

This company did their homework and came up with a great product that should be considered when selecting your dog’s food.

Acme Canine gives Jinx fresh dog food  4 out of  4 paws up for the product’s quality, ease of ordering, company integrity, and bringing dog food to the modern age.  We think you will enjoy it too!
