  • Best for hunting breeds
Best for a hunting dog. High protein. High shine.

  • High quality, great price
This is one of the highest quality dog foods I've found for the price. All five of my dogs love it and my slightly overweight miniature dachshund actually lost a few pounds after starting on this food. Since it seems to have relatively few fillers, she eats much less and is still full.

  • Quality
I’ve noticed better bathroom routines since switching over to this

  • Good buy
With dog food prices going up like everything else I was looking for a well balanced alternative for my large breed. I prefer feeding grain-free or limited ingredient foods, but my dog refused to eat the last couple we tried. This food seemed a decent compromise. It has grains, but also contains some of the more wholesome ingredients that make up better diets. And my dog is actually enjoying it too. ... show more

  • Our Dogs Love it!
We used to buy this, but after moving it was too far away to go buy it. I bought it at a grocery store once and it was moldy. It doesn’t do well in heat/moisture, because it is a very fresh product. I was hesitant to purchase it from Amazon, because it was coming out of a big warehouse; however, it was fresh, and our dogs love it! I will definitely keep buying it through Amazon. ... show more

  • Dog food
I loved the food and my dogs loved it but it seems to not be available after I bought it to purchase it again and the ones I did find was too expensive for me I can’t afford to much , but I wish this was available again and affordable

  • Causing health problems?
I’ve been using this brand for about four or five months due to the great price point. I started noticing skin issues in my dogs, hotspots, blisters, but I thought maybe it was something else. Then I started to notice lumps under my dog skin. I saw another review about his and his brothers dogs developing brain tumors and dying after using this. as of today, three of my dogs have lumps under their skin. That combined with the struggle with diarrhea they’ve all had even after eating this for four months, I am done. ... show more

  • Filling food, without fillers!
This food is incredible. The kibble is extremely heavy, I feed half as much with this food vs other brands and my dogs and foster dogs stay 10x fuller. I know this, because the amount of time they spend searching for scraps or getting into the garbage has decreased dramatically. It's been a great price recently, so I'm going to be devastated when it goes back up. Still worth it though! Dogs are full, coats and teeth are beautiful, and they have energy for days. ... show more
