First kibble my dog would eat!

I have a fussy eater. She prefers dehydrated or freeze dried food, but unfortunately they don’t agree with her tummy and she ends up with the runs. So I have tried

I have a fussy eater. She prefers dehydrated or freeze dried food, but unfortunately they don’t agree with her tummy and she ends up with the runs. So I have tried sooo many different kibbles, plus home cooking, but she is fussy. I tried this, and to my surprise she literally wolfed down the whole bowl! Yay! She’s on the second large bag, and still loving it. Her skin and coat are healthy, and her poops firm and regular. Success!

It was almost Christmas and I needed dog food and treats. The box came and I was surprised how quickly it was delivered. Also the cardboard piece added to protect my bacon treats and greenies helped a lot. I believe it’s the first time I didn’t have a busted bag of bacon or smashed boxed of greenies. Thank you and have a happy new Year!

No Chicken or Peas, dogs are doing very well!

I am really happy that I have been able to find a food that all 4 dogs are thriving on! Each one had their own issues with certain food ingredients (chicken, peas, brewer’s yeast) that had me feeding 4 dogs 4 different foods! What a complete pain that was at feeding time! I took a look at the ingredients for Hill Lamb and Rice Small Bites formula and discovered the food is clear of all of these ingredients (it does have chicken fat, which does not bother my chicken sensitive pups!). They have been enjoying this food for a few weeks now and I’m very happy with them enjoying the flavor, no tummy issues digesting ,and easy back yard clean up too! And I can trust the nutritional balance of this food to keep my kiddos healthy over the years, too!

my dogs love Hills Science Diet

My pups are very picky eaters however this lamb and brown rice they eat it until it’s gone. Such a blessing when you know how picky your babies are.

We tried a few kibble, but Hills has been excellent with our 2yr old corgi. The lamb price has gone up a few dollars, but this is excellent kibble. Highly rec! We switch between the lamb and chicken, and he has poops that are easy to pick up and keeps him right on track. Great dog food.
