I know that my dog enjoys the taste of the food, unfortunately when opening a new bag the food pellets are softer than the beef and are usually broken. Resulting in a powder that gets stuck on the facial hair of a dog which contributes to a small mess and offensive odor if not cleaned after the pet has eaten. Upon looking at the food pellets they appear to be loosely packed and that may be why they break compare to the beef option. Overall my dog enjoys the food, it just needs to be manufactured better to hold its shapeCharlie loves these. I mix with his kibble.My 8 to Maltese last year almost died when the Vet over vaccinated her. She was in the emergency room for a week and 1 blood transfusion. Afterwards, the specialist docs wanted her to be on a soft food. I tried every canned food-she refused more than half. I started doing some research to find healthier foods for her. I tried other dehydrated brands, which at first she enjoyed, but later decided, mmm, no thanks Mom, so I thought I would also try this brand which seemed to be a healthy choice. She immediately said no thank you. She still loves the Stella and Chewy patties-salmon and sirloin. This food seemed packaged well and appearance seemed right. Its hard to spend this much on dog food and have your dog turn her nose up though. I will try to give it away to less picky dog friends I guessI know this product is freeze-dried, but it looks like dried-out dirt. My dog eats the treat but not her favorite. Just wasn't what I expected.This dog food is wonderful. I love having quality raw food easily used for our dog. The price is worth knowing she’s getting quality nutrition. Easy and portable. Easy to take on hiking and camping trips vs trying to bring raw packs of meat to feed her.I have a chihuahua and she's so picky with food. I've given her about 5 nuggets at a time of this new food with her other food, (Little Ceasar's wet) to slowly transition her. She picks up a nugget at a time and carries it to the living room and eats it up, and continues in this way until all 5 are gone. She left the rest of her other food but ate it a little later on. She's had 4 meals now of this new food. It's expensive, but she only needs a cup or so a day as she's a little overweight. I figure with 16 cups to a bag, it'll last a good 2 weeks. But so far she's eaten this new food every time I give it to her. The other food she'd only eat when really hungry, (I guess). I'll give it 5 stars if she continues to like this and continues to eat it.Dogs loved it,nate it right up. My dogs are bigger breeds and the little $10 bag lasted 3 days maybe. To much money, its cheaper for me to buy a couple cheap chunks of beef cut it into bite size and mix with the kibble.I am been buying this brand of dog food for last 3 years. It is a premium quality food, however price just went up by 20% in just one month. This is were it gets 1 star for "value for money". I have stopped buying it because it just the broke the price threshold, were I cant justify paying 20 % more that what I paid few months back. Many buyers will consider it as high priced with jump in price.Update: price has come back down to normal now at $41 from $56, hope it stays that way, giving the product 5 star that it deserves for its top quality. Sometimes it is ok for manufacturers to temporarily giveup some profit, instead of jacking up the price and let the customers go.It costs way too much... is powdery ,,, a lot of the dried pieces tend to disintegrate in the bag.. 3 ounce bag was 55$! I ordered in American but in Canadian it quadrupled in priceItem received within a week, it is well packed. The product is a vacuum pack, good quality.
