"Our new dog took to the evolve-brand easily and is excited at meal times.. His fur coat is beautiful and he seems happy!"

โ€” Barbara

"I can't tell if she likes it. She ate it at first and there was some digestive transition, but now she hasn't eaten for 2 days. She did steal the cat's food though. I think she liked the cat food better."

Bottom Line

Evelve is good for dogs who enjoy the meals. Recommend to Bull Breeds a new small kibble size
