This food is great for my dog that suffers from chronic gastroenteritis and pancreatitis. The only issue is that Inception goes through phases where it stops production and all of the stores run out of it. During those times, it is hard to find a substitute that won’t make my dog ill. If production was consistent, I would give it 5 stars.
