Highlighted Reviews

β€” Sunny 3 found helpful

"Sunny is very happy with her delivery, it helped my lab, my dog got a stomach parasite and the vet put her on this food. She loves it and eats the whole thing when we feed her. Her swelling has gone down and she seems to be feeling much better."

β€” katie

"The food is very stinky. My pantry smells like the food. I am frustrated Chewy only carries an enormous size bag. My dogs do not like it."

Bottom Line

If your dog has specific dietary needs and you are looking for a vegetarian option that seems effective to deal with rashes and allergies, this food is good. Those who don’t like the kibble size or smell out against it. However overall original experience was good.
