I have a dog who struggles with acid reflux, Gerd and bilious vomiting syndrome. He’s going through a bad patch, where no food seems to make him feel better. This one worked for us for about 10 days and now he’s refusing to eat it. I think this is a good quality food and would otherwise recommend it, but sadly did not work for my dog.

Great quality from what I can tell but...

My dog, who is not picky in the least, has gone on hunger strikes since incorporating this slowly into his food. To the point of puking. Sadly going to try him back

My dog, who is not picky in the least, has gone on hunger strikes since incorporating this slowly into his food. To the point of puking. Sadly going to try him back on a blend we know he eats and does well on.

Quality ingredients

This was a good buy for the ingredients, have been transitioning my 3 dogs slowly and they're doing well. They are enjoying the flavor and quality.

Kibble too big for small/senior dogs

My girl sometimes doesn't even get other times is fine with it. But I like that the fat is low for senior dogs

Low fat for GI upset

This is the only kibble my picky standard poodle will eat. It doesn’t upset his G.I. tract and he thrives on it.

Great ingredient list for elderly dogs

I liked the ingredients and guaranteed analysis. My 16 year old dog with IBD (so needs low fat) likes the taste but the pieces are a bit large for her little 10

I liked the ingredients and guaranteed analysis. My 16 year old dog with IBD (so needs low fat) likes the taste but the pieces are a bit large for her little 10 lb mouth. I would rate higher if the kibble size were smaller, but it’s not just for old dogs so probably a great choice for weight loss.

Great weight management food!

My 4 fur kids love having a fish based food as part of their rotation. I like the ingredients and the fact that it’s not high in fat. They love the taste and smell

My 4 fur kids love having a fish based food as part of their rotation. I like the ingredients and the fact that it’s not high in fat. They love the taste and smell. I love the fact that they are never bored or unhappy with their food. Ziva, Zach, Tyler and Jazzi give this 4 paws up.

Digestive issues

I had high hopes for this food, but it did not work for our dogs. My 8 year old lab mix and 12 year old lab have iron stomachs, but this food did not agree with them. It gave my lab mix terrible gas, and my 12 year old lab developed GERD while in this food. Both issues resolved soon after switching to a different food.

Made my 13yo drink more and pee in middle of the night

I switched my 13yo frenchton to this thinking her allergies were getting worse because of the chicken in her previous food. After about 4-5bags and a clean bill

I switched my 13yo frenchton to this thinking her allergies were getting worse because of the chicken in her previous food. After about 4-5bags and a clean bill of bloodwork at the vet I’ve finally realized maybe it’s the food making her need to wake up and drink water and pee 1-3times a night.

I have a very picky eater with many allergies, who also has IBD. This is the first food that works for her with no reactions (and we've tried many, including Rx food), and she loves it! Would definitely recommend!
