"Really love the product and I can tell it had a little updates by them adding more freeze-dried chicken food which I greatly appreciate for my picky Pandora"

— Deanna

"Made by nacho has changed their formula to include Freeze dried bits (the original dried food did not contain the freeze dried pieces) They are hard and has caused choking issues for my cats. We had to pick every single freeze dried piece out of their dry food so they could finish the bag."
