Bring back the freeze-dried raw KIBBLES!

Choking hazard and too dry. Have to handle the patties to break them up (not sanitary for raw food)

Really sad about the formula change, the number of calories are reduced and now I have to feed more volume of food to get the same calories in a meal. Hope people realize when they get the new bags they need to increase the amount they feed and their dogs don’t end up under eating for too long

I am blessed to have two small terriers who embrace a wide variety of recall-free brands and flavors, including this one. I serve a different one at each meal as we cycle through 20+ varieties every week. I believe that this helps reduce risk of nutrient deficiency or possible toxic overload from any one source.

I was super excited about this product, because my 10lbs miniature poodle is super picky. But instead of mini patties, I received only broken pieces and dust. See pics, and the bottom of bag is only dust. I’m disappointed, because with the patties it would be easy to portion his food. He likes it tho, and I love the ingredients. I’m just hoping I got a bad smashed batch, because I would order it again. Hoping the next purchase gonna be more patties and less dust..
