"I was looking for a high protein and low fat dry food that would be suitable for my active big dog and my cockers who can gain weight easily. I picked this one to try out and they LOVE it.

"I purchased this for my picky eater for the freeze dried turkey. I picked some flakes out to sample myself and they were about as flavorful as cardboard. My dog, however loves it and that’s the bottom line."

Bottom Line
