Smells terrible, but I know it's good for my dog
By maddiesmom on Feb 13, 2021
Disclaimer: I received this product for free for my honest response/review. First off all, this smells terribly fishy. That said, I know that I am feeding the best ingredients to my dog. I gave it to my two dogs, a rescue Australian Cattle Dog/Mountain cur mix and my german shepherd. My shepherd was not a fan, but my rescue dog loved eating this. My issue with this is that while it is high quality, my dogs are too large and would require too much of this very expensive food so I wouldn't really want to give this to them on a regular basis. If I had smaller dogs and/or more disposable income, sure.

He gobbled it down
By Mommadoo on Feb 15, 2021
My 9-year-old goldendoodle has become a little picky with his food lately. I gave this Pristine grain-free salmon & sweet potato flavor to him and he seemed to enjoy it! I can't speak for longevity, such as shiny coat etc., but in the short run, it has not made him ill or anything. I slowly mixed it with his previous dog food and then finally only serving Pristine for a few days and he seemed to perk up a little more to try something different. While the price is a little higher than my dog's regular food, this food appears to be of a higher quality. I would definitely consider changing his food based on the ingredient list for this brand.

Pleasantly surprised
By Apollosmom on Feb 10, 2021
I received this Salmon and sweet potato dog food free to try for my honest review. Let me start by saying my dog is an extremely picky eater. We have tried many brands and flavors of dog food and he usually won’t touch any of it. He seems to like this food and has eaten it for the past week. He likes small pebble like food so this definitely was a good size for him. I was very surprised he ate this because like I stated previously he is super picky. I am always looking for a dog food with good ingredients and this one seems to meet the criteria we look for to keep our dog healthy. I did not think this had any fishy smell to it at all which was nice because I don’t like the smell of fish at I received this Salmon and sweet potato dog food free to try for my honest review.

My dog loves this!
By Dogmom15 on Mar 19, 2021
I received this food as a tester to write a review. But I will continue buying it for my dog! She loved it, she actually has come to prefer this over her normal dog food. I was skeptical at first because I wasn’t sure how her stomach would handle a new food, but she’s had no issues. I think it’s made her coat softer and shinier.

Yummy for Hershey
By Casslo on Mar 17, 2021
Disclaimer: I received this product in exchange for a review but all opinions are MY OWN. my dog, hershey loved this dog food! we mixed it in with her normal food as a little treat and she literally ate it right up! I have a chocolate lab and she thought it was delicious. I would buy this again. Only complaint is the SUPER fishy smell.

Unique flavor profile!
By RachelC on Mar 5, 2021
My dog couldn't stop sniffing the bag when this food arrived, he was so excited to try it! I did receive this food free for sampling purposes in exchange for my honest review. I love finding options that aren't the typical chicken or beef based foods, and this salmon/sweet potato was a huge hit with our pup. It does have a fishy smell, but it's what I'd expect from a salmon based kibble.

My Dog Loved It!
By Anna on Feb 10, 2021
My dog isn’t super picky about what she eats, but I am. I always try to give her good food and food that I know is good so I was definitely iffy with letting her eat this new food but with some research I let her eat it for a week and she LOVED IT...(I even gave her seconds!) It also smells like salmon...who’d a thunk? I only gave it 4 stars because the price is outrageous. A 4 lbs bag is $25 and a 10 lb bag is $50! Other than the price I would definitely recommend this food to anyone who is looking for something new.

My dog loves it!
By Chewtoy on Mar 14, 2021
I'd like to preface that I recieved this product free for an honest reviewMy dog absolutely loves this food! I'm really happy that it is free of alot of allergen heavy items. It smells a little funky but I know it's pretty good for my dog. My dog also seemed to have less stomach problems with the regular food we usually buy him.

Had fun keeping it away from the cats!
By KatieM on Mar 3, 2021
My dog (a 100lb lab mix) absolutely loved this food! Plus it seemed to cut down on some of his gaseous odors — so big plus. The only issue we had was that cats wanted it too because of the salmon smell! If it was a bit cheaper I would purchase it, but right now it is out my budget for pet food. I received this product for free in exchange for a review. All views expressed are my own.

Not bad at all!
By mollykathrynnn on Apr 13, 2021
My pups really enjoyed this food! I really like that is does have minimal ingredients compared to other brands. The price point is great for the quality as well! This product was complimentary for testing purposes.
