Lots of breeders and rescues use this for the cost and grain free aspect, multiple flavors.

But yeah I had problems when I used some with particular foster dogs. I just shrugged it off and assumed it didn’t work for SOME of the dogs — when I got GIANT cow patty poops, overly soft/unformed and sometimes with mucous stuff, diarrhea, and not eating. Just switched to a better food. And this was on the western half of the country. Never thought it could be contamination/spoilage issues.

At ~325 cal/cup it’s too low calorie for some dogs anyway when they come out of the pound really underweight, particularly certain skinnier breeds. They would have to eat SO MUCH of it daily to meet calorie needs, and some dogs won’t consume that kind of volume.
