My dog got soo excited when I opened the bag of kibble. From the scent alone, she started doing all of her tricks that she knows she gets rewards for. Needless to say, she was a huge fan. Although it's formulated to be a meal, we ended up using it as a treat since it's a bit out of our current budget to use for meals. The kibble is soft enough that I could break into smaller pieces if needed. I really appreciate the quality of ingredients and the nutrient-loaded formulation.

Dog Approves.

It's my first time trying this dog food. I have a 16 year old cocker spaniel, who has a sensitive stomach at times, and is very picky. I love that the ingredients

It's my first time trying this dog food. I have a 16 year old cocker spaniel, who has a sensitive stomach at times, and is very picky. I love that the ingredients are healthy, and the smell of the food is amazing, you can tell it's healthy, just by the smell of the food. I've been casually mixing this food into his usual food, and he loves it! I'm seriously considering changing his food to this brand. I highly recommend it.

Because it’s better kibble is exactly that…better! I have a very finicky French Bulldog that dislikes everything and everyone. Today I tried the air dried kibble and the little finicky French Bulldog ate it up! He even sat and waited for the kibble- which is unheard of! My black lab also loved this product. I certainly give this product 5 stars! For all you finicky pet owners, this product is instant love!

Our dog Freckles really enjoyed the food. We used it as a topper for her regular food because the bag wasn't big enough to completely transition her. The food did not upset her stomach at all and she enjoyed the taste as she gobbled it up. I like that the food has real meat and veggies, and it is slow cooked to retain maximum flavor. I am sure Freckles would love to have this be her full-time food but the price is a little out of our range even though it is less expensive than similar brands. I would recommend this food for anyone who is looking for a high quality alternative to other brands.

Reading the ingredients I was hopeful my dogs would like the food. The kibble is a perfect size for my small dogs. One of them has missing teeth and she was able to consume it without any problems. We are looking into buying more of this kibble.

All natural goodness!

I love the fact that this product is all natural. The kibble is smaller and easy for my dog to chew. The smell was strong, which was the dried beef. I used this

I love the fact that this product is all natural. The kibble is smaller and easy for my dog to chew. The smell was strong, which was the dried beef. I used this as a topper on my dog’s regular dog food because the small 1 pound bag. I also used it as training treats. I know she enjoyed the new flavor and was eager to eat more. I would recommend!

My dog is a rescue. And a Lab at that. Not much she won't eat. I do like the look of it and the kibble are not too large and the veggies are incorporated into it so she can't pick them out like other dried brands.
