New Recipe
By CDS17 on Apr 15, 2019
My dog loves this food. But it says there is a new recipe. We have the new bag. There is absolutely nothing NEW about it! Except old recipe has Pork Flavor and new recipe has Pork Fat. I am just curious what's so new about it?? The price is the same but the bag lbs went down from 33 to 30 pound bags. These two simple factors discourages me from buying this product again. If the quantity of food decreases so should the price and also if the quality of the food doesn't increase after it states it DOES!

Mojo loves his new dog food!
By Mojo on Apr 18, 2019
Our dog never cared much for his Purina puppy food and I thought his disinterest was pretty normal. However now he runs to his bowl every time he hears me pour this dog food and finishes it completely! His poops are also bigger with a solid consistency! He’s a happy dog:)

Great product! The bite sizes are smaller than before
By ummjill on Apr 22, 2019
New bag look is nice, but my favorite part is that the dog food bites seem a little smaller, which my older dog LOVES! It's even easier to eat than before. I highly recommend.

Turned out to be a good choice....
By Cookie on Dec 30, 2018
My dog, Sugar, is a very picky eater especially when it comes to dog kibbles. Since the vet had recommended Science Diet for my new puppy, Knuckles, I figured I'd try Sugar on the adult light small bites food at the same time. At first she was a little picky, but now really enjoys it. I ordered from Chewy.com because I knew that it would get here fast. They never disappoint. Highly recommend Chewy.com.
