Highlighted Reviews
"This was my first order from Chewy. I was shocked that they stock this particular brand because I was anxious to try it. Can’t find this particular brand at the store. Ordering was super easy, package sizes are perfect and shipping was fast and items frozen for freshness."
"Our dog, Phoebe, got diarrhea after eating this particular mix. She usually loves the Vital brand but not this one. She just did not respond well to this batch and unfortunately we bought two bags of it."
Bottom Line
If your dog is a picky eater and you're willing to pay a premium, this might be worth a try. However, be prepared for potential quality issues and health concerns.
