My boys (2 labs, brothers, 2 1/2 years old) both really like this stuff. They eat this in addition to others.

I purchased this without really knowing what to expect as I have a very picky eater and another with terrible food allergies in our group of four, but I was very pleasantly surprised. So far everyone loves the food and are doing very well on it. No allergy symptoms or upset tummies (I did introduce gradually in small increments) and my selective-eater is happily enjoying Thrive. Overall, I am very happy with this product and will be buying it again!

I have 3 dogs - my 14yo Lab/SharPei's coat has improved dramatically. Thrive has eliminated the food sensitivities of my 8mo Lab. And, after owning my 8mo Boston Terrier and feeding her quality food, the Thrive has improved her coat and attitude. I am ordering my 2nd bag today - I am sold on Thrive!!
