Mostly crumbs

Not sure if they changed the formula, but the kibble is now extra small with lots of crumbs!

Has been a good food, but current bag was mostly bits &pieces.

We hope the unopened bag we have is better.

Fusy puppy not crazy about it

She's not crazy about this food. I need to add hot water and mix it to make a gravy. She is healthy though.
