Comments
I chose this particular 'Active' Science Diet for my new rescue dog, as she was a bit underweight from her time in foster care & the pound and had lost/failed to gain the typical Staffy muscle. We had absolutely no trouble getting her to eat this brand new (to her) food, and she has gobbled it back since. I like that the biscuits are not too big and are clearly very easy and mess-free for her to eat. We are seeing her weight improve and her coat is nice and shiny. The fact this comes in a 23kg bag means it is extremely economical, and the cost per day actually works out less than a half decent supermarket brand. It took a while for her to get used to reduced quantity of food provided (these biscuits aren't full of cr*p like cheap brands so less are required) but this would have happened regardless and is no criticism of this food.
Bottom Line
Yes, I'd recommend this product to a friend
