Performance notes

As a dry, dehydrated formula, this needs water added before serving, and the beef and salmon combination gives it two protein sources rather than a single meat. The organic ingredient claim and all life stages, all breed sizes positioning make it a flexible pick for households with more than one dog at different ages.

What buyers say

With 200 reviews and a 4.3 star average, plus around 50 bought in the past month, this smaller bag size sees more modest demand than the larger 10 pound version but maintains a consistent rating.
