I really wanted to like this food, but it was a terrible experience for my 10 month old Goldendoodle. As soon as I introduced it, my puppy became very sick. The symptoms were vomiting, diarrhea, and a complete loss of appetite. She is usually extremely food oriented, so the fact that she refused to eat was alarming. The consistency is also a huge problem. The kibble pieces are very large, and when they get wet (even slightly), they turn into a thick, sticky blob that clumps together. It actually created a choking hazard for my puppy. I had to pull pieces out because she was struggling to swallow them. Between the health issues and the unsafe texture, I had to stop immediately. Unfortunately, this food did not work for us at all, and I cannot recommend it. I will also leave this review on Chewy, since it's where I purchased.

My picky eater loves it!

My dog has food allergies and he's finicky. This is the first kibble he will actually readily eat. His coat is soft and he is energetic.

Above average, but not thrilled. Sticking with the program and adding a little bit of canned pumpkin.

Good for my dog to digest. But formula not enough for his winter calorie intake.
