I just started buying this based on the ingredients. It’s hard to find any kibble processed food with a decent moisture content and some nutritional value in it. So I mix this with Rachael rays turkey and duck food and all my dogs eat both with no issues.

Both my dogs are happy with the food. My issue is my pit mix has very sensitive stomach and itchy skin allergies. So far it has only been a couple of weeks and he has lost a lot of fur. But when the 40lb bag is gone if his fur hasn't had regrowth, I will have to go back to the old food they had before. I'll update when the bag is finished.

It is one of the few foods that doesn’t have anything he’s allergic to in it

Otis seems to like it. If I give him a food he doesn’t like he is very vocal about it
