Highlighted Reviews
"This is super expensive, but I was looking for a food with more protein and less legumes and potatoes. I have two English Mastiffs and I need a high quality food for my babies. They love it. I could feed them pieces easily."
"I've never returned a food but all the Blue Buffalo Carnovora made all my dogs sick. I still don't know if I got a bad batch or perhaps an ingredient they use just didn't agree with my dogs but none of the differing varieties were acceptable. And for the price, well THAT was unacceptable."
Bottom Line
If your dog has specific dietary needs and allergies, this food could be a good fit, but be prepared to monitor for any adverse reactions. The cost is high, so weigh the benefits against the potential risks and cost.
