My small Senior dog is a very fussy when it comes to food. She just loves these biscuits and she seems to be moving much better since introducing these biscuits. I have a very happy dog.
I worked as a veterinarian and I finally found the perfect diet with small sized kibble for my little old pug with skin and joint issues.
