"Our English Bulldog puppy, named River, absolutely LOVES this food, and we've given it to him since the first day we've had him at 9 weeks old. The breeder recommended it, and gave us a sample to take home. At 9 weeks we used to heat it up with warm water and drain it since he didn't have teeth yet, and it was the winter. Now he's about 6 months old, it's the spring and he has his "big boy teeth" so we just give it to him with some water (for the crunchiness, and to make sure he's getting some H2O). Can't recommend it more highly."
