"This is the best item for small pets. It contains limited ingredients and hence helps in allergies."

— Gigi

"My two seniors do not like this particular food. Overwhelming is the best adjective for the smell, the angular chunk chunks combine to render a horrible disgusting image. I was hoping for something different, different as in a nice smell and something that was tasty and not smelling like wet garbag..."

Bottom Line

If your dog has a sensitive stomach or is a picky eater, this product is worth trying. It's praised for its digestibility and lack of strong smells, but be aware that some dogs might not like the smell.
