Would you put cheap petrol in a Rolls Royce? †¦. And this is the very reason I don’t feed this to my GSD, I did for 12months and the carb percentage sent her crazy 🤪😞 Far better foods on the market this stuff is Not balanced enough (carb percentage far to high) †¦.. for working breeds†¦. Unless they are Working line†¦.. there’s a massive difference between the two 🤔

AVA zipper locks please.😊

Fold the top of the bag over and use a washing line peg†¦.. I could never get my hand in the bag when I use to use it†¦.. the bags are rubbish and never re-seal 🤔

Well packaged and looks good it's not overly priced after doing a little research I discovered the carb content is over 50% and that's a bit high for my liking will be changing to something a bit lower

You can definitely find similar foods for this price range and it will better quality. Like Carnilove, Acana, Wellness core etc!

I feel differently about the packaging. Initially at point of purchase its solid, but once opened, for me it's a bit of a nightmare. My little hands, can not reseal the resealable strip. Maybe I should start going to the gym to strengthen my diddy little fingers. AVA can you use zipper locks? I'm sure I have seen them on this product before or are they just used on the bags for large dog breeds?

I can’t even get my hand in the bag, I don’t have bit hands

We have fed our two dogs AVA for 8 yrs now ,our 12 yr old cross collie shepherd girl has a beautiful coat, white teeth wonderful appetite and is still as fit as a fiddle she has never had a days illness ,our vet is amazed when she goes for vaccination how well she is Our German Shepherd male .8 yr old is a large dog he's had AVA from a puppy he loves it indeed he will eat it as a treat for being a good boy .He too is extremely healthy never a days illness his coat is so beautiful and silky and his joints are excellent.We don't put it down to luck we put it down to the food they have, It's nice to put it down with a little bit of wet food mixed in and see it eaten .The waste product from this food is very little and solid as it should be My friends who have Shepherds have a lot of problems with their dogs and I put it down to food .With the quality we get and the price we pay we are happy with this product and we always recommend it to friends ,family and dog owners we meet ..
