"My girl will only eat stella and chewy frozen raw or this dried, and the air-dried Full Moon products. I have tried so many brands. Just ask Chewy! Stella and Full Moon are the only ones she eats consistently. Made with good products you can feel good about their choice. I know I'm happier for sure..."

"This bag was stale. Previous bags have been much more fresh. Not sure if the company has changed the product or I just got a bad bag."

Bottom Line

Highly recommended for picky eaters, but double-check the size to fit your dog's needs.
