I usually have multiple brands of kibble here given various needs of my dogs and fosters. 2 of mine don't tolerate fish well, and for a while, I had 1 here who needed a limited ingredient diet where it was recommended she got fish. Now that she's been adopted, I wanted to go back to this brand. It is one I tried a few years ago with an ultra picky foster, though I had used another formula. I was a little concerned about this one at first because I initially missed that it has lamb in it, and in the past, one of my dogs has lost significant weight when fed a lamb diet. Either there is minimal lamb, or that was a fluke at the time. She's holding her weight well, and in fact, because this is a higher calorie food, I'm able to feed everyone less which is nice. They all love it. I love that I am literally buying only one kind of kibble at the moment.

I have two extra large breed dogs that receive chicken and a raw bone everyday. So, they usually don't get excited about dry dog food. But, when I took the bag of Nulo out of the shipping box, both dogs ran over and began smelling the bag with excitement. After several feedings, they still love this food so I will be buying it again. My only complaint is the cost :(. It is an expensive food to feed two dogs whose combined weight is over 400 pounds.
