"My pup has food allergies but can eat salmon and sweet potatoes. She’s eaten Blue Buffalo for several years and always gulps it down. I must admit we put a spoonful of pumpkin on top of it."

β€” Bonnie

"My dogs only ate it maybe 3 times, then refused to eat anymore of it. E en after carefully mixing over 7 days, it gave them both diarrhea and vomiting for days!"
