Highlighted Reviews
"I was looking for food that was made in the USA & had "good-for-you" ingredients - that didn't break the bank...So this time, I bought the dog food. I also bought a different brand/ food to mix it. The pooch loves it."
"For whatever reason neither of my dogs liked this formula and it was a struggle to get them to eat it. They liked the grain-free turkey version but it's always sold out and impossible to find in stores so now we're going to try a new brand."
Bottom Line
This dog food is a solid choice for balanced nutrition, but it's a good idea to try smaller quantities first to see if your dog enjoys it. If your dog doesn't take to it right away, consider trying different flavors or brands.
