Description
Treat your dog to real, fresh food with California Dog Kitchen Beef & Quinoa Gently Cooked Dog Food. Made from human-grade, USDA-inspected 80/20 ground beef with nutrient-rich organ meats, organic quinoa, and organic vegetables, this complete and balanced recipe is gently cooked and frozen into easy-to-serve cubes — just defrost and serve.
