Highlighted Reviews

— Mpow

"When my vet recommended a white fish for my highly allergic daschund I hesitated. Myers dog is extremely picky and has turned up his nose at many other foods. But from the first time he tried this he loved it."

— Linda

"Lillie eats it but I can tell she is not that crazy about it. The cat stops by her dish and laps up a bit of it when Lillie isn't looking."

Bottom Line

This food is a decent option for dogs that are overweight. It may not be the top choice if your dog is extremely picky, but it has few negative side effects. But it is not clear if it would have any long-term benefit.
