"Very good"
Posted bySandy Burmesteron11th Jul 2025We have been feeding Poppy our beagle with this food for quite awhile now, with permission from our vet. When we first got her 2 years ago she had super itchy feet, now they are greatly improved. Tried raw feeding for a little while, but came back to this food as her tummy was a little off on raw. We knew we can count on this food to keep her healthy.
