Really good stuff
By pamj on Feb 1, 2021
Got this as my little Japanese Chin was getting tired of her Tiki Dog. She still loved it, but was not wanting to eat it like she did when we found it a year ago. So I decided to research and try something again different. She is picky and finding things she likes it not easy. She liked the Stella & Chewy raw so I thought she might like this as a change. Stella & Chewy patties she still ate, but I felt a new type might be a nice change. This also has the veggies, fruit and antioxidants along with being Freeze Dried Raw which is good for our pets. It is also Grain Free which I have to have for Hope or she digs herself silly if she eats anything with grain in it.

It is also Grain Free which I have to have for Hope or she digs herself silly if she eats anything with grain in it. Took a while to find out that it was not fleas, or any thing other than grain causing it. So got a smaller bag of this to try and she loved it. She did not even wait for her warm milk bowl next to the food to be filled so she could eat. She ate this and then asked for her milk. So that is a great win. My cat Boots who is having urinary problems again asked for a bite as he could smell it and loves Stella & Chewy so he took a couple pieces of this and was happy to feel like he was stealing something. I may try the cat one next for him after I get his crystals all out of his system. So this is a wonderful thing for picky eaters. Dog and cat alike. … more

Great for small dogs
By Fioletowaryba on Jan 4, 2021
These are really small. Great for our chihuahuas while we are doing the dreaded nail clipping. Clip a nail or two give a treat, clip another nail give a treat. Best results we’ve had clipping nails so far. So very helpful. There are a lot in that little tiny bag but there are easily enough for us to use one treat per nail clipped.

My dog is crazy about it
By Saki on Feb 14, 2021
This is the only kibble my dog would eat(actually it is not kibble). This is better than Orijen but more expensive too. I feed her this when I don't have time to prepare fresh food.

Dog loves raw froze
By BGals on Feb 24, 2021
My dogs loves the raw frozen. The packaging sometimes comes open when shipped. Contents is recoverable but not an ideal situation.

I have the most picky eating Teacup Yorky I know. I went through five different foods all premium top great line and he will not eat none of them. He will starving his self I literally had to put him on A prescription food for three weeks to get his weight back up. This food is a lifesaver literally.

Great Quality!
By Jenny on Sep 15, 2020
My pups love it! I've been using the toppers on their home cooked meals since they were puppies but now I've been adding more of this to their home cooked food (Soon I'll be also adding some of the kibble mix with raw toppers diet since they are becoming adults now). It has the right ingredients as well as the right amount of nutrition. Very happy with the product.

Finally!! Something she will eat.
By Rumblechick on Oct 19, 2020
My Chihuahua is a fussy little thing and I've been having all kinds of trouble finding decent and healthy food she will eat. This worked! Now I just wish they had the same little size in a beef version.

Wonderful food
By kelko1977 on Aug 6, 2020
I was able to sample this with my dog. It is a high quality food. He tolerated it well. It is pricey but if a dog has allergies to multiple things I would say this has got to be a safe alternative. My dog was very reactive when I opened the bag. He definitely enjoyed it.

Great for treats
By Jdove on Jul 20, 2020
I received these for free to see how my dogs liked them. They were a hit! I got the beef and the chicken flavors and my dogs couldn't wait to get to them. I'm mostly using them as treats. Since I don't give my dogs a lot of treats, I like treats that will last a bit if needed. These have a great shelf life and can be given wet or dry.
