NutriSource® is highly digestible for maximum nutrient absorption and each formula is nutritionally complete so more of the concentrated nutrition is retained by your dog. This means you can feed your dog less; as much as two-thirds less than other brands. Compare the NutriSource® price and you'll see this means your cost per feeding is less than the competition. And by feeding smaller, more easily digestible portions, your dog produces less waste.

This food has good ingrediants and my dog seems to really like it. She liked it so much I had to hide it because she was trying to chew thru it to eat more , however I only gave it 4 stars because it has menadione bisulfate in it which I did not realize when I bought it. I will still purchase once in a while but won't feed it to her all the time.
