Overall I think this a great dog food but before I say what I like about it, I'll say up front the one thing I don't like about it: it has pork in it. It's not the main ingredient though. Maybe I overlooked it in the description on Amazon. When I read "pork" on the label I freaked. My dog had gotten sick eating a treat made of pork so I was worried. I know some dogs can't handle it, but I decided to try it once.
I mixed it 1 part to 4 parts of his regular food to start and slowly increased over a week. The kibble is small and he's a big dog so I thought he may not like it. He really did like it at first and never got sick from the pork, so I thought all was OK. But when I got to 100% Hi Tek, he stopped eating it. The ony way he will eat it now is to add 1 part of his old Benefil. As long as there's a little bit in his bowl, he won't spit out the Hi Tek. So I may be stuck with that small bit of grain and meat refuse in his food in order to improve his diet.
Since eating this product, my dog no longer passes gas throughout the day, only on rare occasion. His stool is more compact and he goes less often. Since he weighs 80 pounds, this is greatly appreciated! And you just can't beat the price. Now that I know he will eat it, I'll be buying the larger bags which are even more economical.
If you are on the fence about this product, give it a try in this smaller bag size. At this price, you won't be risking much if your pet just refuses to eat it.

I usually buy the bigger bag, but wanted to leave a review here, too. I started buying this food as a replacement for Wellness Core, which is more expensive. I didn't want to sacrifice quality, though. I appreciate that the food is made in the US from US ingredients, so no Chinese dog food scares. The food also has pro/pre biotics, which Wellness Core does, as well, and my dogs seem to do much better when eating a food containing these. Their stools are firmer and they have fewer incidents of upset stomachs.
