Highlighted Reviews

— Deborah

"I got it specifically to use with my new HW+ rescue Papillon to disguise her meds! I mixed the pulverized tablets into a tablespoon of Stella’s Shredrs and she gobbled it up and never knew she was taking pills! The photo shows her asking if her meal was ready yet!"

— Sue

"My picky eater dog will not eat this. It is in a heavy sauce that makes it look like a mushy serving. If it were dryer shreds, I think he would eat it. It comes out of the pack in just a blob - not for my dog."

Bottom Line

If your dog is a picky eater or needs medication disguised, this food is a great choice. However, be aware of the texture variability and the potential for some dogs to be uninterested.
