"Itchy puppy"
Posted byanne crenfeldton19th Nov 2023I was told to put mu schnauzer puppy on to a chicken and grain free diet to hopefully help with her scratching. She is wormed and flea treated. I chose a wild food diet which one part includes this food and she has definitely improved and she loves it.
"Worth it!"
Posted byPriscilla de Groen-Hutchinsonon28th Sep 2023What a wonderful product! I have a 4 year old Boxer with food sensitivities; so many kibbles (even those claiming to be hypoallergenic or gut-sensitive) cause her to break out in uncomfortable rashes on her belly and negatively affect her digestive tract resulting in diarrhoea. However, I can say that after trialling this kibble for a few weeks, Lola’s skin and poops have never looked better! This product is an absolute must for sensitive doggos. Lola and I highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
