"We needed a grain free pate food for our senior, special needs dog who only has one tooth left . She is little so we also needed a small size package so that it didn't go to waste or need to be refrigerated (then warmed up) for her sensitive tummy. She loves this and slurps it up happily."

β€” Debra

"One food container had a hole in it, there was little worms all over inside box and food containers. Never had chewy issues before, but this is making me question future food orders."

Bottom Line

While this food seems well-suited for sensitive dogs, the recent issues reported by customers make it a risky purchase at this time. If you do decide to try it, be sure to carefully inspect the packaging and contents before use.
