My maltese is 8 yrs. old....he had 18 teeth removed. The Vet put him on this particular Vet/Scrip that he kinda liked....It was a hardship trying 2 get Poppies to eat....I was introduced to this food by a Walmart Employee and he has never looked back since last year. You have saved my dog's life... I had almost given up....he is playing w/his toys & he is still driving in the Park....I WOULD LOVE TO SEND YOU A VIDEO OF MY MALTESE :)
