"Great food "
Posted byAmeliaon19th Sep 2025I have a English Springer Spaniel who is sensitive to chicken. This food has been great for her, her coat is shiny and soft and she hasn’t had any more tummy upsets or doggy dandruff
I bought this puppy food a month ago for my 3-month-old Golden Retriever, and she absolutely loves it. The kibble size is perfect for young puppies, and it has a pleasant smell compared to other brands. Her digestion has been great — no upset stomach or allergies — and her coat has become shinier and softer. I feel confident feeding her this food and will definitely repurchase.
My puppy has struggled with skin irritation and was not able to hold weight but since black hawk his skin and fur is soft and full. Extremely happy with this product.
