    This food is also a good choice. I fed this to my dogs years ago and they all seemed to enjoy it. The only reason why I switched because the store we were purchasing this from continuously didn’t have the chicken and my dogs don’t do well on any other flavors. Highly recommend!

    This dog food is perfect for my small adult dog: She is not quite a senior dog yet, but this Food has supported her through all of her phases. The food is small and easy for her to digest, while still having a good texture to clean her teeth. She is a very picky eater so it is nice knowing she is eating something that fits all of her needs. The food has a light smell and the packaging is easy to open and keeps the food fresh. I highly reccomend this food!

    My fur baby, Pepper, loves this food. I tried to get a picture of her eating it, but she was wiggling too much. That’s how much she loves it. You can see her coat is shiny and she is very healthy. She has never had issues with digestion. I like that it comes in smaller bags, because she her portions are small and the food remains fresh to the end. I also appreciate the price, which is not cheap, but reasonable for what I’m getting.

    My picky eater loves this stuff

    Trishoneandonly - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
    My picky eater loves this, so there’s that. He eats it well - he has lost a lot of teeth and is a senior. This is used as a free feed option, meaning I leave it out for him to consume at leisure. He is not a food driven dog so I don’t worry about him eating it all day. His main food is healthy wet food, with veggies and fruit and chicken on the side. Kibble should not be used as a main source of nutrition.

    We got this food for our dachshund mix when he was about 2 years old and next month we think he’ll be 10, he’s a rescue so not 100% sure about his birthday. Anyway we took him to the vet today for a checkup and our vet bragged about how shiny his coat was and how muscular he still was for his age. Our dog is also still playful and energetic for his age and we believe this food has played a role in giving him that quality of life. This food has been great, we’ve never had any issues with it and our dog enjoys it!
