This kibble is a little larger than a pencil eraser.

Is This Food Safe To Feed Pups 6 Months and Up ?

Best Breed Working Dog Diet is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance. This formula will benefit all sizes of adult dogs. A puppy is generally considered an adult when they stop growing taller. Typically for small breeds this is between 9-12 months, medium breeds around 12 months and large breeds closer to 15 months.

He likes it! He really likes it!

Great high calorie food for my finicky, not big eater, high metabolism standard poodle service dog. Until we tried this, it was difficult to maintain his weight,

Great high calorie food for my finicky, not big eater, high metabolism standard poodle service dog. Until we tried this, it was difficult to maintain his weight, much less put any on. He’s gained weight and looks much better.

Diamond in the Ruff

We are SO happy with this formula of food! It has been impossible to find kibble that is above 550 kcals for my poodle who can not keep any weight on. This kibble

We are SO happy with this formula of food! It has been impossible to find kibble that is above 550 kcals for my poodle who can not keep any weight on. This kibble was the perfect match though. It fit my budget better than the competing brands with similar kcals and formulas and it also was a win for my SUPER picky poodle who sometimes will go many days without eating if he doesn’t like the food. He scarfed his first bowl of this down with no problems! We are going to pair it with the freeze dried food we use and hopefully this will be the food to FINALLY put some healthy weight on my scrawny boy! I’m also very pleased with how well it was manufactured. The bag came very tightly sealed and has a zipper seal so it can be kept right in the bag and stay fresh! We will be buying this food again! It’s a lesser known brand (honestly hoping it stays that way so I don’t have to go on crazy searches like I do for our old foods that constantly were out of stock!)

Not the TWO LBS I wanted to lose!

Seriously?! This dog food is expensive enough and they change the packaging AND take away TWO WHOLE POUNDS of food?!???!!!! That's so ridiculous. 30lbs to 28lbs...
