Didn't agree with my pup at all. Her poop was covered in blood and mucus while on this feed. Could be due to high fat content or grain make up. Pet.co.nz organised a refund with Hills and were responsive and good to deal with once contact made.
Bottom Line
No, I wouldn't recommend this product to a friend

I have been using this food since purchasing my Briard puppy, it really suits her as she is proving to have a delicate stomach. I have tried a couple of other foods & they didn't suit.
Bottom Line
Yes, I'd recommend this product to a friend
Comments
Realised after much research that its just corn-filled junk food (dogfoodavisor.com) and switched to a great grain-free brand (Orijen- dog food of the year) also available on this site. Fast shipping though, great website.
Bottom Line
No, I wouldn't recommend this product to a friend
