"Our Toto (9 lbs) is pickier than a 2 yr old toddler. He gobbled it up and wanted more. The β€œbite size” pieces are perfect for tiny mouths like silkies, yorkies and such. The pieces are teeny tiny moist β€œsoft cubes”. Winner winner."

"Not much meat and veggies. About 90% BROTH. Dogs would not eat. Like soup. Now we know why it was on sale. or so cheap. Chewy must be trying to get rid of it."

Bottom Line

Consider alternatives if looking for a more substantial meal for your dog. While some love it, many reports suggest issues with digestions and health.
