this product is very good This product is very good and healthy for my dog and she loves it. April 2, 2013
Nothing less than the best! I refuse to buy any other dog food. My dogs love this food and I love that it is so good for them! August 20, 2012
She can't get enough! I recently switched my dog to this and she loves it! Its the first "diet" food that she is excited to eat and finishes the bowl immediately. She has never been a good eater and with this I feed her and she eats it everytime. She also seems to have more energy. July 8, 2012
Keeps my dogs healthy & easy to groom. I have been using this product for 14 years and I can not believe the gorgious coats on all my dogs. I get asked all the time how I keep them so well groomed, it's easy when their coats are so manageable. The shine to them is my favorite part. They are very active, healthy & maintain a consistant wieght. I just lost my oldest Golden Retriever at the age of 14 1/2 years, I contribute alot of his long life to good food and that is why I will continue to feed my other 2 Goldens this product. Thanks Hills! June 14, 2012
The best for weight loss! Our vet recommended the light formula for our beagle. It's really helped her lose weight. May 28, 2012
Diet food that my dog loves! Great quality, great price, and my dog loves the food! May 22, 2012
The food is good My dog loves this food and seems to be thriving. She is very food motivated and we had to go to the light because of some weight gain. On this food she is very active, no weight gain and still gets to eat a good meal. May 21, 2012
This product helps keep the cholesterol down I had a schnoodle that the cholesterol would settle in her eyes and this made it difficult for her to see. This product was recommended by the eye vet. Now I have two schnauzers and I have them on it to help prenvent the problem I had with my other dog. I was told this is a problem with the schnauzer breed with the eyes. I highly recommend the use of this product so you will possibly not have to hurt because you pet might be going blind because of not being able to process the cholesterol. May 21, 2012
