My dogs love this and it seems healthy. Just a little pricey for me but it’s good dog food. The bag is durable too so it doesn’t rip or get powder on anything

I bought this because our dog can’t have chicken she itches. The bag says no chicken or chicken byproducts but the ingredients says it has chicken in it. That’s deceiving to say no chicken it’s supposed to have lamb
