During the lockdown because the pandemic I received some donation from you and Chicago cruelty animal... that was extremely helpful for me. My dog and cats love the food. Now after 5 months they still eating the food. They are very healthy and the hair is beautiful. I just found the food in Menards I hope I can have more options.
