    Bentley has always been picky and has a sensitive stomach, but he was so excited when we opened Root & Tail and it's been so gentle on his tummy.
    Claire, Bentley's Mom

    It smelt good enough to eat myself! The texture was great, mixed easily into his kibble. He's usually a grazer but now he eats everything in his bowl.
    Shelley, Enzo's Mom

    Immediately when we put the food down she devoured the whole lot! She's gotten quite fussy but we're now on Day 7 and she eats every meal.
    Emily, Rosa's Mom

    Nice texture, thaws well, easy to portion. Would work well in a squeeze tube reward system too!
    Aleesia, Mom to 4 dogs

    Tim LOVES his Root & Tail food. Being a small dog, his meal sizes are so tiny when he is fed kibble, he is much more satisfied with these fresh cooked foods. And our mastiff Bruce literally jumps for joy (and shakes the house!) when he sees Root & Tail in his bowl!
    Sarah, Tim and Bruce's Mom

    Oscar was VERY excited to give it a go, he inhaled every last bit of the High Protein recipe. With ingredients like chickpeas, pea protein, lentil, oyster mushroom protein, I wanted to try it out too.
    Vera, Oscar's Mom

    My dog Yuki loves it! I just mixed some to her regular food and it's the first thing she eats.
    Karla, Yuki's Mom

    Our senior dog Pepper has never been a big 'foodie' and she's gotten fussier with age, so finding food she will consistently eat has been a struggle. She loves Root & Tail and licks her bowl clean -  we're so happy to have another option of Pepper-approved foods!
    Rich, Pepper's Dad
  • ★★★★★
    Nesca's a fussy eater and it's a miracle how much she loves this food! She's also diabetic and it doesn't spike her blood glucose so that's amazing!
    Barbara, Nesca's Mom
