Review
My Havanese was eating Nutro Max, which I guess is a halfway decent food, but I wanted something better. His poo was a little too soft and frequent on the Nutro Max. I am trying to gradually switch his food to Wellness, but he loves it so much that he just picks out the Wellness and leaves the Nutro Max! “Midnight” gives this food 4 paws up and a big tail wag.
