My 2 dogs ate this food for less than 2 weeks. Starting off they both seemed to love it, then at about the week and a half mark they both started eating significantly less through the day. They both are looking bloated and I have to add a topper to the dry dog food to get them to eat any of it. I've stopped offering it to them at this point and we've had to buy new dog food which is fine if that's what my dogs need it just stinks because now I have almost a full bag of this food that wasn't exactly cheap that I'm going to have to throw out...
The food is excellent. My newfoundlands love it. I was a little disappointed that the bag had split open. We lost quite a bit of the product.
I wonder what research was done when you list oatmeal as an ingredient. That is a grain.
Although our dog's love this food I'm very disappointed that they stopped making the Salmon & sweet potato formula and smaller bags at a higher price
