"My dogs LOVE this food. This was an excellent alternative for Spot & Tango (unkibble) which my dogs also loved, but was much more expensive."

β€” Pat

"I don’t feel this food is worth the price point. Some may disagree with me. It literally turns to powder when you put it in a dog food bin as you’re scooping it up into their bowls it breaks apart and turns to powder so it’s really not worth it I will not be buying this product again."

Bottom Line

It's a great food for dogs who enjoy a premium, freeze-dried kibble. Ensure you check for any texture issues and consider the price.
