Bottom Line

We recommend this food for dog owners seeking a grain-free, allergy-friendly option at a reasonable price. It seems to be a consistent performer in the allergy dog food category, though personal pet tolerance and taste preferences may vary. The food appears to have performed significantly better for one reviewer’s dog with allergies compared to a Blue Buffalo's chicken feed, although another pet did scratch ears and lick feet indicating some level of allergen reaction.
