My dog has chronic pancreatitis. She cannot handle any OTC foods, especially because all of them are “healthy weight” and she does not need to lose weight. I was feeding her Purina EN Low Fat, but I do not love the ingredients. Nor do I love the ingredients of Hills or Royal canin. She was becoming super itchy and smelly on Purina EN. I love Farmina. Their product lines are incredible. I’m so glad they make a food for dogs with digestive issues, especially pancreatitis. My girls are thriving now. Their stools are nice and firm, their coats are becoming extremely shiny again. The only bad thing I can say about this food is the horrendous smell. It stinks. But, my animals love it. That’s what matters.

Fast service!

I haven't opened this bag yet. I will have to slowly start adding it a little at a time with her current food. She has EPI and I have to be very careful changing

Healthier ingredients than Purina Pro Plan, Royal Canine or Hill's

Willy was diagnosed 4 yrs ago with Pancreatitis & suffers bouts of bloody diarrhea for 24 hrs about 1-2x/per month. His normal poos have always been a bit runny

Willy was diagnosed 4 yrs ago with Pancreatitis & suffers bouts of bloody diarrhea for 24 hrs about 1-2x/per month. His normal poos have always been a bit runny & soft. Since I started this food two months ago mixing wet with dry he's not had any episodes & his poos are now perfect. He gets excited when dinner time rolls around & licks his bowl clean. He's happy & so am I!

Not his favorite, but I’m sore it’s healthy

He seems to have trouble viewing the larger kibble, so we’ve found the other gastro food to be better for him. (Royal Canin)

It works, and my dogs love it!!

My dogs had diarrhea, and this food helped get them regular again. My vet recommended it, and even my 17 year old Dachshund loved it!

Smelled better than Royal Canin and Science Diet.

I hate feeding my animal by products. You are a much better grade of whole food.
