Highlighted Reviews
"I was recommend this food from one of my Customers and it has done wonders for my dog Gunnar who has dealt with heat bumps and patchy hair. Like the bag said within 2-3 months there was a noticeable difference and all the hair came back."
"We bought this food to help with our golden retriever's itchy skin. Not only did she still lick and chew, the kibble pieces are about the size of a nickel and rock hard.
