Highlighted Reviews

— Myste

"Our Mini Goldendoodle has always been a drive by eater. Our regular food was discontinued and we needed a turkey food. After a lot of research we ended up with this food. I was skeptical because it was Purina but found dog food advisor gave this level of Purina a high grade."

— Sally

"Both my dogs got sick on this particular bag of food - diarrhea and vomiting. We’ve had this on auto ship for a while and never had a problem. Changed to the chicken formula and no more issues."

Bottom Line

This dog food is generally well-received but has some concerns about batch quality and potential health effects on some dogs. It's a good option if your dog hasn't had issues but be cautious about specific complaints and batch variations
