Highlighted Reviews

β€” Teddi

"I've learned a lot about food allergies with previous dogs, so I was specifically looking to avoid certain ingredients and focus on the healthy stuff. My dog has not had a minute of allergies. She's healthy and happy"

β€” Mallory

"I recently ordered 3 bags unfortunately and they have changed the way the kibble looks and smells. It’s much smaller like rabbit turds and smells like farm livestock. My dog had gas and diarrhea since the change."

Bottom Line

This is a solid choice for puppies with specific dietary needs but be prepared for potential taste issues and quality variations.
