Very expensive but dogs like it

My older chihuahua likes to eat all the freeze dried pieces before the other dogs get a chance at it. Very expensive. None of my friends pay so much for dog food.

great for finicky eater

more expensive then most, but the ingredients are also superior to most. The big plus, our finicky Boxer loves it (doesn’t need whip cream) and is getting his weight up to where it should be!
