"This food is always a winner for our golden retriever who has severe food allergies. Quality ingredients, low filler ratio and this particular flavor avoids all the ingredients that are still in most grain-free options that our dog just happens to be allergic to."

β€” Brittany

"We’ve been on this dog food for a few years now. When we have opened several bags, we can see a difference in the quality and texture of the food. Sometimes it’s dry, sometimes it super oily. When the bag is oily, I notice my dog gets a really upset tummy. It never fails and just happened to us..."

Bottom Line

If your dog has allergies and you're looking for a grain-free option, this food could be a good choice. However, be aware of the potential for quality issues and inconsistent texture. For dogs without allergies, you might want to consider other options to avoid potential digestive problems.
