She Loves It
By dogluver180 on Jan 7, 2019 Top 100 Contributor
Our girl seems to really enjoy this food so far. The kibble size is ideal for bigger dogs like her, and there are freeze-dried vegetables and "fluffy" chicken pieces mixed in. The resealable bag is a nice touch. The price is also very good. I wish the ingredients were better, since this food has a lot of fillers of no nutritional value. I typically try to avoid corn, wheat, soy, and by-product meals, and those are all included in this formula. I likely won't keep her on this long-term because of this, but it's fine to rotate in every now and then.

Special food
By Katheryn on Dec 27, 2018
Finally found the right food for two very different dogs. They both love it and aren’t putting on extra weight. And, the auto delivery allows consistency and less hassle.
