Highlighted Reviews

— Jen

"This particular dog food was recommended by our vet to try since our large breed puppy was having GI issues with his previous food. Our pup loves it and so far is tolerating it. The size of the kibble is large and seems better for a large puppy."

— Rosanne

"I started with RC Giant Puppy and everything was great then transitions to junior for obvious reasons. ...He would sniff his bowl but then walk away. I switched to origin."

Bottom Line

While it has some positive aspects, including recommendations from vets and a balanced nutritional profile, the issues with palatability andpickiness make it less appealing. Consider other brands if your puppy is already a picky eater.
