I've used Beneful a few times-but my dogs flat don't like anything except kibbles & bits... I've tried- I bought Purina 1... Eukanuba lamb and rice... I tried the Science senior diet b/c of Abby- Finally my vet said the dogs were doing fine on what they liked- shiny coats- not smelly- so to leave them be... So I feel guilty for using something not top of the line- but bottom line- with 4 dogs this fits my budget fine... and it's my vet approved
