Authority Mature Review
By Rachel on Apr 29, 2020
Our 12 year old toy poodle is a VERY picky eater and she normally refuses to eat the dry food we buy her. She has been on this brand for months and so far, she's loving it! We never have issues with her skipping meals anymore. We love that its made for our senior dog and healthy for her too!

My dogs favorite
By Deez on Apr 5, 2020
I always buy this for my dog but when I received it by mail sand opened the box, the bag was ripped open and food was spilled out in the box. Not sure if I even got all the food that was supposed to be in the bag. I will directly go to my local pet store to purchase the item from not on.
