I think they're all doing wonderfully on it.

Oh, I wanted to add that early on I inadvertently bought food a couple of times that contained chicken. Within 2 weeks Alex would be gnawing on his paws again. As soon as I stopped those foods, he stopped gnawing.
that is great too know as dd started itching at 6 mos on artemis as i did a research and that was the number one food at the time 5 years ago and that is when all the itching began and never stopped It has chicken in it though
