Highlighted Reviews
"He’s eating again. He’s an older dog and had stopped eating enough food for a while. When we took him to the vet he had chronic kidney failure. He’s loving his new food and eating normal again. I also love how responsive Chewy is delivering when I order."
"The cans are inconsistently filled. Some are mostly gravy with very little meat, while others are full of meat. In my last shipment I opened a can and it was only HALF filled (see photo). At over five dollars per can, that is ridiculous!"

This food is a good choice for dogs with kidney problems but be prepared for inconsistencies in quality and higher cost.
