I got a small bag of this with my girl from the breeder, she's 2.5yrs now an still loves it and so do her babies, my older boy also enjoys this food, he was having skin allergies and since he started eating this food his skin has gotten better and he no longer needs medication.
I 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.
I have been feeding my new puppy on this for 3 weeks, she loves it and is growing fast.
