Bad taste review
By Tuesday on Nov 5, 2020
Two of my three dogs refuse to eat this food. They have never rejected any other food before and I change brands frequently. My chickens aren't even very excited about it. It must taste horrific.

My puppies do not like this kibble
By Dislike on Oct 2, 2020
I have two puppies and both dislike this food. They may nibble on a few pieces of kibble if they are really hungry. Supplementing with wet food, which they like.

By Milo on Mar 11, 2020
My puppy started this on the 1st of January when we brought him home & he only weighed just shy of ten pounds, he is now close to 35 pounds & it’s only been 10 weeks today. He’s gaining weight well & he’s very healthy. I’d recommend it

JAZMIN LOVES IT!
By JazminsMom on May 16, 2019
I adopted my mini schnauzer/mini chihuahua mix from the shelter at 3 mths old. Went straight to PetSmart & took advantage of their free adoption package in which there was a coupon for a free bag of food. Authority Puppy <1 Chicken & Rice Formula was recommended to me by an associate. I have no idea what brand of food my Jazmin was eating at the shelter, but she devoured the Authority the 1st time I fed it to her! She continues to do so at each feeding! She LOVES it! I love it because it truly IS what it claims to be-her coat is so shiny. She doesn’t have bad breath. And I absolutely believe she is having very healthy brain development — I’ve had her trained to sit, stay, and shake since the I adopted my mini schnauzer/mini chihuahua mix from the shelter at 3 mths old.
