β€” Jerry

""My dog absolutely loves the taste! I’ve tried a lot of different canned dog foods, but this one is by far his favorite. Whether I’m mixing it with dry kibble or using it on its own, he can’t wait to dig in.""

β€” Teresa

""several of the shipments have arrived with bent and damaged cans, one was so badly damaged, that the can was punctured and maggots were growing in the moist food and we had to throw it out, immediately. If the 2 cases can be shipped in a smaller box, separately from the kibble, box of biscuits, etc..."
