Highlighted Reviews

— Sam

"My dogs LOVED this food and have never eaten another food the same. It also gave me some relief and helps my one dog after he got into something he shouldn't have that caused neurological damage and he improved more than the vet thought! I hope it comes back."

— NastyJackNasty

"The concept is terrific, but unfortunately, it did not serve us well since our dog did not like the taste. Finally, I decided to make sure we added supplemental medium chain triglycerides into a dry food she liked."

Bottom Line

This food is a solid choice for dogs, especially those with cognitive health concerns. It's a bit pricey, but many users find it worth the investment.
