"Ruby, the Queen of our household loves this food! She eats every bite and is so happy to eat it. She actually looks forward to her meals. It was a long road getting there but since we found these, the picky Puggy is content!"

"I purchased this item last month and was not satisfied with it. I called and sent in photos about the way the insides looked. The agent was very nice and sent me a new box. I came across another pouch and it looked like the photos I sent in. Maybe it was just a bad batch so I decided to try somethin..."
