I usually buy Darf coldpressed food, also excellent, but wanted to introduce a little bit more variety. My dog ( Gsd) truly loves this food and he is doing & looking well on it. So far so good. I personally like this for it is also coldpressed and I can combine it with raw meat and fish. The nuggets seem slightly more soft & moist than the Darf. My dog is still young & strong so it doesn't bother him either way but for an older dog I think this would be a great choice. Will try some other varieties next time. Only downside is that I would like to see better percentages fi. of the rice volume and wish it could have been brown rice instead of white!!
