Highlighted Reviews
"Our Boston has always liked Blackwood and I feel good giving it to her. Made in small batches, good feature. It agrees with her."
"Not only did the price go up and the quantity went down, but whatever the change in ingredients were they definitely do not agree with my dog. Her stool has become softer where it’s difficult to pick up as well as leaving her butt messy. I will be experimenting with some new food."
Bottom Line
It's a great option for dogs with sensitivities, but monitor for quantity changes and adjust accordingly. Also be wary of allergies and intolerances as the changes in ingredients can send some dogs' digestive systems into distress.
