Highlighted Reviews
"I wanted a puppy food that was not chicken. Found very few without it but came across this. My puppy, who is 6 months old, chows this down just plain. I normally add some canned food as topper for my two adult dogs then mix it all up. They love this kibble just plain old dry. Will keep buying it...."
"Our Golden is dealing with food allergies and multiple ear infections. This is one of the few single protein foods on the market and was recommended by our vet. We transitioned slowly... It caused our puppy to blow his entire undercoat out of season. His coat also became course and straw like."
