Unhappy puppy

U fortunately my dog brand has discontinued their brand so this was suggested. There are no meaty morsels like the other food and my dog started itching.

My baby loves it

My pug developed an intolerance of all things chicken, even fresh-cooked chicken. This salmon/sweet potato food solved the problem. She's back to her own always-hungry self!

Would not eat

I have two Teddy bear dogs and neither of them liked this food. They love dried freeze dried salmon treats and one is allergic to poultry so I thought this would be a good alternative but nope both refused to eat Although I must say the dog food itself is high quaility with good nutrition

Not his favorite but helps with his itching

Enzo eats FreshPet chicken for lunch and this for dinner. I’ve tried dry chicken food for dinner but switched to this in hopes to improve itching skin. I wasn’t sure it worked until switching back to dry chicken for dinner—he started itching like crazy. I’m going back to this. He gets more excited about chicken flavor at dinner, but he eventually goes to the bowl and eats it. I really wish it came in a smaller bag though. A 6 lb dog doesn’t go through it very fast, especially since I only feed it at half his meals. I store it in zipper bags in the freezer but seems like a waste of freezer space and plastic pollution.

Perfect for small dogs

This dog food is really high quality with very nutritious ingredients that your pets will love. The packaging is really nice and elegant. The size of the granules are small so they are perfect for small dogs and I really liked that. I will definitely be purchasing this after this bag because it has been really nice to my dogs enjoy it and eat it all when they eat. I am very happy I got to try this brand and product for my dogs so I really appreciate it and I hope my review helps others and they decide to give this dog food a try.

good food for my adult doggy

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. When I first got it, I wasn't sure if my dog would like it since he could be picky sometimes. He seemed to enjoy this food and I like that it meets his needs and that it will be benefiting him as he's getting older. If you have a small dog and are looking for a particular type of food for them, this is a good option. It has good ingredients and I think it’s a good choice for my dog.
