We started buying this as recommended by our vet as our dog had suffered from both pancreatitis and colitis on an off for a long time, since using this he has had no episodes at all of either

Great Price, Great Product, Great Service

10th May 2013

Sue Line

VioVet Customer Since: April 2013
From: Warwickshire, United Kingdom

Pet's Name: Sandie
Species: Dog
Breed: Mongrel/Mixed-breed

My dog has never looked better and has received no end of complements. Being diagnosed with her condition was a shock, but the diet is helping and she clears her bowl. We use the dry and tinned together, and the dry for her rewards during they day.
