"My Shih Tzu apparently loves this food because she licks her bowl clean. She's diabetic and the glucose management aspect of the product is important to keep her healthy. Being low fat, it also helps maintain her weight, which is equally important."

Bottom Line

Highly recommended for dogs with specific dietary needs. It's a bit pricey but worth it for the health benefits and quality.
