I was very sceptical at first, but after seeing how much my dogs love it and how they are thriving I will never feed them meat-based dog food again! My dogs used to go to the vet every 3 or 4 months for all sorts of issues. Vomiting, blood in poop, sores due to excessive itching etc… Since they have been eating this dog food (been about 8 months now) they have only been to the vet once for unrelated reasons (one dog ate a raw green potato and one has seasonal allergies- which I must add have also improved since eating this dog food). My dogs are 10 and 11 years old but they have the energy and stamina of young dogs!! You will not regret your purchase!
