Gentle on sensitive stomachs
By Katrina on Nov 23, 2018
We love this dog food! After our Chihuahua had digestive issues we went looking for a dog food that was gentle on their stomachs. We use this food for both our little breeds and big breed dogs. We haven't had any more digestive issues since we made the switch!

Awesome and on time.
By Sonya on Nov 6, 2018
We received the dog food on time and without any trouble. The boxes were in excellent condition which meant the food wasn’t ripped open or have any pests inside. It was neatly stacked outside our front door but not in the way. Thank you so much for the free shipping with our order too! The dogs are being well fed.
