I am thankful Petco on Hilltop is in our community. I almost always find what I need; sometimes I have to wait until the shipment comes in :) but always get what is needed. Staff are friendly and helpful too!

Yes, I recommend this product.

No fresh or whole foods

Fish Pellets

I understand there is a bias in the commercial pet industry toward Royal Canine and Hills - however it should be hard to understand the strong opinions of vets on this matter given the majority of them receive less than a semester on nutrition. In any case, the first ingredient is a filler, rice, how much they do not precise, but the order of listing tells you it represents most of the content. The next is fat. The third and forth are constituent of fish pellets: meal. This food contains NO FRESH OR WHOLE FOODS. Their analysis is also particularly vague which lends itself to more variation in the industrial factory where these pellets are made. If your dog is to die, let him die a dog...not some mutilated domesticated version of one fed on industrial fish pellets.

This food my be good for my dogs heart, but the farts it produces makes everyone in the household sick. I'm on my third bag so it's not just the one lot number, it is the food itself that is at fault. It's awful. We have to switch to something that doesn't make family members ill.

No, I do not recommend this product.

For Maltese 5 lbs. Will this 17 lb bag stay fresh based on the servings for a 5 lb Maltese? What storage do you recommend? Also have 6lb Yorkie. Possible kidney issues. Can he also eat this food w/out problem?

  1. You don’t get the food if don’t have a prescription for it, my dog is 20 lb aprox, and the bags last 2 months for her, it has resealable packing but I take like 3 lbs out of the bag and storage it in a tupper and refilled when it’s gone.



Is this small kibble for toy dog with only 2 teeth

  1. The Early Cardiac kibble is about the size of a regular M&M
