Highlighted Reviews

— Jared

"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."

— Leanne

"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. She would try to chew them, but would give up and swallow them whole. I was worried she might chip a tooth, so have moved off this..."

Bottom Line

This is a decent choice if your dog has sensitive skin, but be prepared for higher costs, and check whether your dog can handle hard kibble pieces.
