CORE - Great on all counts!
My aussie has allergies to grains and had a weight problem from a previous grain free dry food I was feeding. CORE has reduced her weight and both my dogs love the taste and it keeps them free from the skin issues associated with the grains which cause severe allergic reactions. CORE is great!
