Comments
Recommended we switch Rosie onto this diet by our vet following a severe bout of pancreatitis that hospitalised her for 3 days! She has not had any problems switching from the Royal Canin Neutered Adult diet to this one - it's easily digestable, keeps her weight in check & she likes it. Luckily for Rosie there has been no long term damage to her pancreas but as she is an older dog we have decided to keep her on this diet & allow her occassional treats as advised by our vet.
Bottom Line
Yes, I'd recommend this product to a friend
