"My dog was prescribed this after having an upset stomach and irregular bowel movements. It ended up helping immensely and now she is going to continue having some with her meals because she loves it so much that she won't eat if she doesn't have this mixed in!"

— Mandy

"My dog has a very sensitive stomach, and we were trying to switch from Science Diet GI Biome to this food. I got the cans, 8 are dented. I open up a can, and I get this food is ground. But it is DRY!! DRY AND FLAKY!"
