"My 16 year old Schnoodle eats nothing but Castor and Pollux wet dog food. Just had blood work done at vet and vet couldn't believe how good her lab results were!!!! I attribute it to great food!"
"This stuff looks nasty and smells horrible. Dog ate and immediately threw it back up. MORE wasted money."
