Highlighted Reviews

— Tabatha

"I have two dogs, one small one large with different coats and tastes in food. They also want to eat the same food and it has been a struggle to find a dry dog food that meets their needs and their tastes but this one hit all the marks. My dog's skin has improved tremendously since switching."

— Pam

"Once again the box came torn apart and was delivered in pouring rain without any bag over it-left to get rained on even though we have a covered porch!"

Bottom Line

Highly recommended for dogs with dietary sensitivities. Be aware of potential allergic reactions.
