My dog loves this food and it has brought out the little frisky puppy in her..she is almost 15 years old and has so much energy again.
Brody started not wanting to eat his food. He’s 10 1/2 now and has trouble with his rear legs. I bought this food to mix with a little if his kibble. He gobbled it up. It was great to see him eat his entire dinner again. He wouldn’t even eat all of it when I put chicken breast mixed in!! I sure do recommend this to anyone who either has a picky eater or to anyone who wants a very good dog food.
Dogs love it and I feel good about feeding it to them.
My dogs love Fresh Pet. I use it as a topper for their dry science diet dog food. Decided to order the vital bc it had ingredients for their joints. They are 17 and 14.
I have an almost 13 year old Cavachon, who could no longer eat dry food, even when softened. I switched her food to Fresh Pet Vital, and it was a game changer for her. She loves it and it’s much easier for her to eat.
I wish this wasn't so expensive, my dogs really love this food. We are mixing it with kibble to help it last a little longer!
My yellow lab really likes this product.
