"I have been using this for years as his bedtime snack. It’s completely nutritious and doesn’t have carbohydrates."

β€” Lori

"I believe they have changed the formula for this food. It is hard as a rock and when you try and add water to feed it is the consistency of sand. My dog will no longer eat it after more than 8 years on the same diet. I have had to change brands."

Bottom Line

This product may not be the best choice if your dog is sensitive to dietary changes. It is worth trying a smaller amount first to see if your dog tolerates it well.
