— Ashley

"In all my years of owning pets and buying dog food, I’ve never seen my dogs so excited to eat, and without any trouble when it comes to digestion. The improvement in their behavior, mood, and overall health has been incredible. I only wish I had discovered this food sooner."

— Kristin

"He would wake up at 1am and then at 4am after eating this. After I switched, he was fine. I tried it again, same reaction. The vet said it sounds like this food gave him acid reflux."

Bottom Line

If your dog has cardiac health issues, this is the right choice, but keep wishful eye for signs of digestive trouble.
