"My kiddos love the food. This food has never been recalled for anything and I have been using it for over 30 years. It smells great and it is easy on their digestion and great for their coats"

— Joe

"We’ve been buying this food for several years, unfortunately 3 of the last 4 bags we’ve received have been spoiled well before their best buy date. Clear rancid oil smell when you open the bag."

Bottom Line

Check batch sourcing and consider smaller quantities due to spoilage risk. For satisfied buyers, it's a great choice; but due to hygiene issues, users have switched other food brands.
