What owners single out
Digestive tolerance emerges as the weakest aspect among buyers, mirroring concerns about stomach sensitivity that video reviewers may have flagged.
In their words
“Well, my puppy went from 16 pounds to 29.2 pounds on his first 3 weeks on this food so I would say it was everything a large breed puppy needs to grow up healthy! He is doing extremely well according to the vet & this is after a very rocky start to life, including severe hookworms & transfusions as a tiny pup. He is now 13 weeks, almost 30 pounds and healthy as can be.”

“I don't what is wrong with this food but it gave both my pups loose stool. I have been picking up pudding poops for the last 3 weeks thinking it had to do with the medication they were on for intestinal parasites. But once they finished the meds, it did not get any better.”
