I am giving this a neutral rating for now because I haven't actually tried it on my dogs. However I work in a pet store in jax, fl and sell tons of the holistic line, haven't ever had someone come back and complain about it. The ingredients aren't the best nor the worst out there. I do agree I'm tired of the price increases like many other posters. We also get samples from the supplier just like all the other brands we carry like wellness, canidae, solid gold, etc. These are FREE samples they send with our regular orders, no "cuts". It's ridiculous to assume that we get money for handing out samples. In my store we ask as many questions as possible about each dog before handing a sample to customers based on the info. So your dog got sick from it? Sorry that happened but how can you blame the store for that? No one can predict how their dog will react on a different food. So it wasn't for your dog, move on and learn better english for pete's sake! I can barely read your post, it certainly doesn't make you sound very intelligent.
