Don't take the risk.
Feeding your dog anything other than a true and trusted kibble is always assuming somewhat of a risk with their health. For this reason we always recommend a tried and true super premium dog food. If you feed your dog properly, your dog will likely live longer and be healthier during that time thus helping to reduce your Veterinarian costs.
Trust the experts.
With over 10 years of experience with TLC Whole Life Petfood, we've experienced the benefits of an incredible food, had time to compare the ingredients to hundreds of other foods, and have seen our dogs eat the TLC food before they would eat any other brand if you set the bowls down beside each other. The company has graciously offered a $5 off of your first order which you can take advantage of here and have the food delivered to your door super fast... that is... unless you prefer manhandling 30 pound bags in and out of shopping carts and trunks for 10 or 15 years.
