Millies Wolfheart Alert Mix review

Name: Millies Wolfheart Alert Mix
Brand: Millies Wolfheart

60.8/100Good

DryPuppyAdult

A short, grain-free pork and duck kibble with no fish on it at all, which is unusual for the type. The label opens its 40% meat block for you, fat and gravy included. That honesty also shows the meat is smaller than the headline, and it sits in our Good band.
