Timberwolf Lamb and Apple
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
I was thinking about trying Timbewolf Organics Nutrient Dense Lamb and Apple formula. The woman at the pet supply store said it was very high in fat, however, I have a terrier who's pretty active, but not a working dog. I like to give him variety and he does well on anything, but chicken (constipation...
