"I transitioned my dogs to this against my wants because the internet raved over the pro plan foods...it had real great reviews and backed by vets...this food immediately gave my dogs firm poops. I was so happy. My senior dog that’s picky needs a little broth added to eat it but my younger dog eats..."

β€” Chris

"The bag of dog food arrived open and spilling out of the box...it's poor customer service and not safe for pets. I’ll go elsewhere for my pet’s needs from now onward."

Bottom Line

This product is suitable for dogs with sensitive stomachs and skin, but buyers should be aware of potential quality issues and digestive problems. It may not be the best choice for dogs with allergies or digestive sensitivities. Chewy's customer service could improve in handling damaged deliveries.
