"Did an allergy sensitivity test on our pup and this brand is the only one he can eat. They love it!!! He can only have a few meats so I can alternate between this and the beef formula!!! This is his favorite no more itching!!!"
"I like the ingredients in this food, but Firstmate seems to have some poor quality control. I’ve found blue plastic/rubbery pieces, fish bones, a weird black thing, and other random stuff in this kibble. Do not recommend feeding this food."
