    My new dog loves the food…

    It is hard to find here.

  • Briana

    This food was actually recalled from 2011-2012 under the manufacture ‘diamond pet foods’ for possible salmonella contamination. My mother bought this food for my dog on accident, my dog seems to like it but he’ll eat anything. will leave a review once he’s fully on it to see if it’s any better than the previous foods.
