"I have an English Bulldog. Allergies have been non-existent. She has been eating this daily for almost a year."
"I have been buying the Tender and True Salmon & Sweet Potato formula for years but it is no longer available. Sure, I know that salmon smells better than whitefish, but it shouldn't smell like feces. Or have large, hard, unidentifiable lumps in it. This one is off my list."
Bottom Line
The odor and questionable quality of this dog food make it not recommended. This is a growing trend based on reviews in recent months - if you are looking for the best dog food - consider some alternatives to this - currently it is a below-average pet food
