Both of my dogs are pretty picky eaters but this is a food they both enjoy! I used to need to add toppers or anything to try and get them to eat, they both willingly eat this food plain. My shihtzu (as picky as they can be) generally eats this food plain with me having to add toppers occasionally (which is so rare for him!). Love the ingredients in this food and my dogs do too.

I bought this because my Australian Shepard Brutus just quit eating his regular food. This is actually the second time. His hair is dull and he has diarrhea every few months. I actually meant to purchase the Salmon and Rice version and must have picked the chicken and rice by mistake. But Brutus loves it. I bought some Natural Balance Salmon and Rice canned food as a topper which he really likes and will most likely purchase it in the dry as well. All in all I feel this is a quality food, reasonably priced. The big plus is he has no diarrhea!

Really great nutrition and my dogs just love it! I’ve never seen them like this before. They just love going back to their bowls! I buy less treats now, since they aren’t looking at me like they’re hungry still after eating. I love it too!

Didn’t work for my picky eater

My dog has a sensitive stomach and he gets tired of Science Diet (which seems to work the best for him) so I decided to try this brand. He does not care for it,

My dog has a sensitive stomach and he gets tired of Science Diet (which seems to work the best for him) so I decided to try this brand. He does not care for it, even if I add things like chicken and broth - he will only eat the chicken. It may be great food, but my dog can be picky.

Yay pumpkin!

My dogs really like this. Neither of my dogs have ever shown a strong interest in their food. That has changed with this formula.

Stools are still soft

I was hoping this food would help my 11 y.o. cattle dog with his poops and joints, since it has all the extra supplements. So far I haven't been impressed. For reference,

I was hoping this food would help my 11 y.o. cattle dog with his poops and joints, since it has all the extra supplements. So far I haven't been impressed. For reference, I have fed Natural Balance for years, but thought I'd try the one with pro and prebiotics and joint supplements. Not impressed.
