"I tried the frozen fresh dog food, and it was fine for a li ttle while, but I think the recipe was changed and they wouldn't eat it. My Vet suggested Hills Perfect Weight and my dogs love it. One month i didn't order on time and had to get a can of another brand and they refused it completely. Hills..."
"I have been buying this for years. It's been great, but the new kibble size is absolutely ridiculous. It was already on the small end. And while they do provide a 'small bites' version for smaller dog breeds, the change to the 'heart-shape' is much too small for large breeds now."
Bottom Line
This food is a solid choice for nutritional weight management for dogs. For most dogs it works well, but some changes in kibble size and aroma proficiency are recommended. However the dog food provides continual thematically based nutritional sustenance.
