"Great product very filling less waste than previous branded food. Less gas."

"This food has multiple protein sources and some dogs can't tolerate that and apparently mine is one of them. I'm not thrilled that it contains fava beans but I liked that it contains organs. Unfortunately, this didn't work out for us. I think it was just too rich."
