"I have two dogs, a 3 year old American staffordshire terrier mix, and a 1.5 year old Bluetick coonhound. Both of my dogs love this food.. Not as high in fat content."

— Suee

"This was the best dog food on earth when it was manufactured in Canada. Just got the 1st bag now manufactured in Kentucky and it bears no resemblance. The ingredients are different and the product is not even close..."
