Our
mid size dog did not immediately take to this food. She picked through
the dish for about a week during transition. However, once we switched
over entirely, she consumed the food without hesitation. Nugget size may
have been a little large for her at first from what we can tell- but
she got over it. We now find she consumes this food at the same rate of
previous foods. We also noticed no difference in her digestion/bowel
movements and the consistency of her stool movement is solid, little
smell, and easy to pickup- all good signs.
Without getting into hyper-technical detail (you can read ingredients
in product listing), the ingredients listing of this food is very good
and considered top quality by any standard. You will also appreciate the
bag design since it is sturdy and resealable to keep the food fresh.
Not the best for smaller dogs
The nutritional elements in this are better
than most grocery store pet foods, but not the very highest end either.
More of an issue for me were the large kibbles. Not that my relatively
small dogs couldn’t eat them, but they required a lot more work than
smaller kibbles and left tons of crumbs on the floor as a result. So not
a food I would tend to use again.
Something Fishy
This premium dog food features deboned haddock, cod, flounder and pollock as well as a nice variety of fruit, vegetables and supplements including pro and prebiotics and glucosamine chondroitin. As expected there is a fishy odor but it is not overwhelming or unpleasant. The resealable bag is a definite plus. It is easy to open and closes securely. The kibble is manageable. It was big enough to slow my German shepherd and small enough for my Chinese crested to handle without difficulty. The fact that it is made in the USA from ingredients sourced in North America definitely contributed to my peace of mind. While I do wish all the ingredients were from this country, North American goods are, in my mind, more trustworthy than those from China or overseas. The dogs ate it enthusiastically and experienced no digestive upsets or other side effects.
