"Our Chesapeake Bay retriever has many food allergies on top of systemic Lupus. On top of that he is a picky eater. I cook a majority of his meals but look for something extra when he lets me know he’s still a bit hungry. This stew is like human grade. He loves it."
"I ordered this becuase it seems like most of my friends and clients feed their dog this brand, Stella and Chewy's wet dog food. The quality of the food also looks decent. I ordered 4 cases of 6 cans. But 20 cans/ 10% of them are bung with aluminum cans dented."
Bottom Line
This is a trusted brand despite packaging issues. Picky eaters love it but you may get a few damaged cans.
