My thoughts would be that the food has too high protein; but for some it could work. No seniors, and personally I won't go that high for puppies. They will grow too fast on that high protein, etc.

Is the price right for you?? If not I think there are better choices. Good luck though, please share results if you can. Thank you Nan

Hi Nans,
The price is about $65 a 22 lbs bag.
We have mom on it, she is in great shape after the puppies.Looks like she never had pups. Kept the weight on her beautifully!!
The pups love it, no loose stools, not even from the first meal, they have nice shiny coats, great energy.
We love it.

Good Food for Your Dogs=If your dogs like it...and...If your dogs do well and have good stools and coats on it...and...If the price is ok with you then you've found a good food for you and your dog...

I personally think $65 for 22 lbs is WAY too much for me...but then I feed a lot of dogs...You can find very good foods that are a much better price...

I say if it works, do not change it. BOL Nan
