Highlighted Reviews

"Right outta the bag the daily serving was gobbled up!"

β€” MarciaLee

"My dog is allergic to the ingredients used in this dog food. Even tho he loves to eat it, he started to itch and scratch. This could be worse than what it currently is it’s worth the money even after going outside to get better."

Bottom Line

This dog food is a hit or miss. The recent reviews indicate a decline in quality and consistency, and pet owners with allergy concerns or larger dog breeds should consider these factors carefully.
