Chewy Approved! We've been using for 4 years now

We have a 14-pound Chihuahua/Frenchie/Boston Terrier mix named Chewy, and he's been eating this formula for the last four years, ever since he transitioned off puppy food. We normally give him 1/3 cup and add one pouch of Ol' Roy Tender Morsels for breakfast and dinner. He loves the combination, but he also has no problem eating this dry food by itself if we happen to run out of the wet food. After four years, Chewy still enjoys it and we've been very happy with it. It's been a reliable everyday food for him and one we continue to purchase. Great product, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try!

Easily Digestible Senior Dog Food

Good dog food for small senior dogs. This formulation does not upset their digestive system, as many other formulations do. My dogs are very old and are rescues, missing many or all teeth. I add a little warm water and they can eat it easily. I will continue to get this for them.

Pup with Mobility Issues

My pup has mobility issues. She loves this kibble which I top off with a freeze-dried product.
