If you contact Wellness they will send you samples to try out.
They sent them to me really FAST!

I get it at Petco

It is a small triangle shape

Thank you, I'm confused, when I checked the link for the small breed formula at dog food analysis, it said "no recommendations". This is the same thing as what they say about Royal Canin. Does this mean no one has reviewed it yet, or does this mean that no one is recommending it? It seems to have many of the same ingredients of the other formulas, that were given high ratings. Is this a fairly new product?

It is a newer food. Last fall I think.
It has been put into the 5 star group based on the ingredients but I do not think they have reviewed it specifically. It is placed with the other Wellness Foods.
I liked it because the protein was 28% and a little higher fat because Max is active.
I can not find reviews on the dog foods at DFA since 2007 that have been personally reviewed. Anyone else? Really?????

We tried Wellness, Chicken Soup, and Merrick with Xavier, and all gave him horrible gas. We now only use Nature's Variety raw medallions and both he ad Sasha love them.

Thank you for this information. Joey's not what I would call all that active, I wonder if this would make a difference? He has his moments, but overall he's pretty mellow.

It is not a high protein food.
EVO is 42%.
This is just a little higher (28%) than say Wellness' Chicken Complete one that is 22%.
Max is not "hyper" he just has his "playing" moments -LOL

My yorkie was on Royal Canin for a few months and he had tons of problems. He would eat sparingly and his hair started to fall out, he also got diarrhea a lot and would throw up. Once I switched him to Nature's Variety his health started to turn around. His hair grew in and he began eating everything that was put in front of him. His diarrhea and throwing up stopped too.
