What to know before buying

The manufacturer recommends introducing a food change gradually over 5-7 days. Rehydrating with water is optional, and the listing says the food can also be served as-is. Customer comments about sharp bone fragments are a reported concern, not an independently confirmed product condition.

Buyers who want portionable patties that can be crumbled or softened with water.
Households introducing a raw-style food gradually as a topper.
