High quality kibble that my 2 small dogs enjoy

This is the food both of my 3 yr old small dogs have been on since they came off puppy food at 1 yr. They are very picky eaters when it comes to kibble bc they eat mostly human foods, and this is one of the very few ones they will eat without fuss. This is a quality grain free kibble with excellent nutrition. It's easy on their stomachs ...no digestion, gas, or stool issues. Small sized pieces for smaller breed dogs. You honestly can't beat it as it's a good bit cheaper than other kibble with comparable nutrition percentages and high quality ingredients. (And No, I didn't and haven't ever got this product for free in exchange for a review 😆 lol)

My pups really liked this food, especially because it's small bites and they can't eat the bigger food. Especially my senior dog who is missing teeth he can eat this one, but my big dog like it as well. It is expensive but it seems to be pretty good quality.

Our breeders choice

This was the brand that our breeder chose to raise several litters of standard poodle puppies. She eats it with zest and her poops are nice and solid. Our four year-old standard poodle goes over to our puppies bowl when she's finished eating, and he finishes off what's left over. I imagine to them it's taste good. Our four month old weighs 30 pounds and our almost 4 year-old weighs a little over 50.

Fantastic high-quality dupe for expensive brands!

I absolutely love this dog food (for my dog)! It has been an amazing find for my Havanese. It goes down easy, she likes it, and the price is unbeatable for the quality you get. Honestly, the ingredient list makes this a fantastic "dupe" for much pricier, fancier small-breed brands like Royal Canin or Blue Buffalo, but at a fraction of the cost. The smaller kibble size is absolutely perfect for a Havanese or any small breed to chew easily. If you want premium nutrition without the premium price tag, I highly recommend giving this a try!

It was very easy to order my groceries online and to pick them up even easier a very nice young lady delivered them to my car and put them all in there very nicely disabled so I greatly appreciate the service. I wish I knew the girls name that helped me.

Good quality food

This product has been great for our dog. She no longer struggles with itching and she does not lick her paws or skin anymore. Her digestion seems better.

The dogs like it

We have a Jack Russell Terrier and a Chihuahua/Pug cross. The chihuahua/pug is picky. They both love this food. It's down all day and I believe they eat about 2 cups a day.

Kibble is no longer small breed

I've been buying the chicken and pea small breed for many years because my dog does so well with it. There's a problem with it now. Last 2 bags I've bought haven't been the same small breed kibble even tho it's written on the bag. The kibble is bigger and hard for my dog to chew, so I've been soaking it to make it soggy so he can eat. I don't want to switch to another dog food, but if the next bag isn't smaller kibble , I may have to.

I bought this a couple weeks ago abd turns out it expired a year ago. After the best by date, the food starts to lose nutrients and get filled with bacteria. I can maybe understand it being a couple months expired but a whole year is not okay. Whether is was walmart faults or whoever is shipping it, i dont know. Check the dates.
