"So far Ellie Mei is eating this food. She is a really picky eater and if she doesn't like something she won't eat it. I do mix in a little canned food. After a few days on this food her red areas (she's all white) began to turn pink. She is not scratching as much. I think we are headed in the right ..."

"The kibble is too large for a Yorkie to chew. It is a large hard size kibble. The only way a small dog can eat it is to chop it up. It is probably a good food for a large dog but definitely not for small dog. I can hardly break it up with a kitchen hammer."

Bottom Line

This food is a great choice for dogs with allergies and sensitivities, but be prepared for a higher price point and consider the kibble size for smaller dogs.
