The food does not say good very long even in a locked tight container. First bag of food I thought was going pretty good. The smell was awful though smelled like fish dead. She seemed to like the food. The second bag I ordered was completely not sealed somewhere had holes in the bag, and the food smelt awfultwo weeks after putting the first bag of food in the container that one also starts to stink and the dog is puking.

This food unfortunately gave my IBD dog pancreatitis and made her very ill, it's probably okay for some dogs has clean ingredients and she liked the taste... The fat content is too high I was unaware of that and unfortunately made my sick girl sicker. Hope to return my recent unopened order

Dog eats it and his skin is clear

Our French Bulldog likes the taste of this better than other brands we have tried. His skin allergy has remained clear.

The horribly strong smell

My dog who it was prescribed for wouldn’t go near it. My other 2 dogs took one whiff of it and did the same! It has a very strong smell.

The size of the kibble is perfect for my 10 pound senior dog.

HP diets dont offer much of a choice but Gracie really likes this one.

We wanted to like this, researched by our Vet.. This is also not my first, very sensitive stomach, pure Lab - with tons of allergies. However, Harvey is also the dog who eats aboslutely ANYTHING, and would not even take or eat a piece of this kibble haha.. Not even one! Not even starving in the morning---- He seems to be doing well on their Fish Derma, but always gotta wait that full month.. This dog is allergic to EVERYTHING, will eat everything! We walked by a peproncini that I thought I was safe from one thing, and nope he gobble that up too! But would not touch this food at all, on multiple for whatever reason... Giving it 2 stars as it is seems like a quality product, good packing etc. And of course Chewy took excellent care of us and the small bag of this one will be going to the shelter. Just got a large bag of the Fish formula he will eat and seems to doing well on. Crossing my fingers when that it is gone (he is 80 pounds) as we will for sure know by then if we have found something for him, but this was NOT it unfortunately.
