"Since starting our 2 dogs, Maddie (Labradoodle) and Belle (Lhasapoo) on KetoNatural I've noticed they have a lot more energy and they aren't having bowel movements quite as frequently as before. Belle is diabetic and takes insulin twice a day. My husband and I were very excited to find a food that is lower in carbohydrates, and the best part is they LOVE it!!! Thanks so much!"
