Great food!

This has been a game changer for our dog. He has had more energy and no longer has his morning shaking episodes. So thankful we found this food for him.

I experienced fabulous service recently by Chewy. My dog's food was back ordered, I had to order something else, then it came back in stock. Chewy was able to "catch" the substitute food in transit and deliver to me the food my dog has been consuming for years. I truly appreciate everyone I spoke to in regards to this incident. Thanks Everyone at Chewy! Anita U.

My dog stopped eating it.

She ate it at first and we made it through like half the bag. Then just just started declining the food and wouldn't eat unless you gave her something else.
