A good product
By Cori on Aug 12, 2018
Our picky dog likes this food. We mix it with a little dry food, some boiled chicken and, occasionally, a bit of broccoli, and she laps it right up.

Epic Fail!!!!!
By Teri on Jan 29, 2018
I don't know when I have been so disappointed in Texas. This food is like a soup--because it spilled all over me when I was trying to get it open. It smells like--let's just say it smells unlike anything I have smelled before. Napoleon wouldn't eat it so I gave it to a friend who's dog isn't so particular about what she eats--in other words, Bambi would eat the varnish off wood. ;)

The perfect food topper
By Ginger on May 17, 2017
I have a 48 pound dog that has several allergies. These containers are just the perfect size to take with us on our road trips and use as toppers on her kibble.

My yorkiepoo loves these
By Katie on May 3, 2017
My dog was having "bathroom gland" issues and our vet told us to switch her to a higher quality food. This food solved all her poop problems and she loves it! Always licks the bowl clean.

Great product
By Ana70 on Feb 6, 2017
My miniature poodle loves this dish. I mix half of serving with Merrick dry. The only complainant is the gravy became solid during storage and shipping, because of cold weather.
