Highlighted Reviews

β€” Deanna

"In search in a long time for a good food that they will actually eat day after day and we finally found it!"

β€” Brendon

"While this has great ingredients, it gave both of my dogs upset stomachs and diarrhea for the duration of half the bag. I thought it was from the transitioning of food from another brand (Jinx), but it lingered on too long. Because of that, I would not recommend this product."

Bottom Line

This dog food isn't recommended due to consistently reported problems with digestive health. If you have a sensitive dog, it would be wise to consult a vet before choosing this food.
