"Kiko may have been getting too many treats & weighed in above his limit so switched to this for weight control. He still looks forward to meal times & can still have a few treats for dessert"

β€” chelene

"He'll eat it only if we add something to it like a broken up dog treat. He’s not a fan of big kibble chunks. Not sure if it’s the size of the kibble, taste, or both. Only eats it after a full day without food. Had to cancel autoship because this clearly isn’t going to work for him."

Bottom Line

A good option if you know your dog handles it right but reconsider if your dog has digestive issues.
