Fabulous Hard-to-find Limited Ingredients

This kibble has been a godsend for my Aussie!! He has multiple food insensitivities, and had constant diarrhea before I had him diagnosed and totally changed his

This kibble has been a godsend for my Aussie!! He has multiple food insensitivities, and had constant diarrhea before I had him diagnosed and totally changed his menu. Now his stool is perfect and his incontinence is remedied. And he loves this kibble. One of the no-nos I had been feeding was salmon. This kibble has various ocean fishes but no salmon, which is very hard to find. Considering it's been out of stock once or twice, I just hope they don't ever discontinue it. I also wish they would offer a 15 lb. bag, because a 20 lb. bag is too large for 1 dog (won't stay fresh), so I have to buy two 4 lb. bags at a time, which is costly. (My other dog is on a different kibble.)

Shiny coats and happy dogs

I appreciate the high animal protein content and love the shiny coats. I have a medium and a small dog so I appreciate the small kibble so that they can both eat

Great for dogs with grain allergies

If your dog has grain allergies, grain free isn't enough. Most animals eat some form of grain, but not fish. Keeps my girl from chronic ear and skin issues

Mona loves this dog food. She is a tiny dog - so the kibble size was perfect for her. As the mom of a canine with severe food allergies it is often difficult to find nutritious food for her. White fish is one of the proteins she can eat - but often it is combined with salmon or grains or filler legumes - she can not eat any of these. The essence Ocean recipe - so far - has been tolerated well. No scratching, face rubbing, etc. hopefully that continues to be the case.
