Scout gives this topping mix 5 Paws Up! While we would normally only give 4 Paws Up due to the addition of potato, this is just a topping mix with medicinal benefits, not a standard ration kibble.

Pet owners are encouraged you to look at all their formulas because you may find a better food for your dog’s everyday ration.
