Highlighted Reviews
"It states that it's only recommended for dogs 1-6 years old. However, my shih tzu is 7 years old and I still feed it to her. My vet it's OK for a small dog, but I wish they'd come out with a canned variety for 'mature' dogs."
Bottom Line
This dog food is a good choice if your dog is within the recommended age range. Despite the recommendation for younger dogs, older dogs might still benefit according to the user's experience with their 7-year-old Shih Tzu. For those with older dogs, there is a lack of a mature-specific variety and may need alternatives.
