Diamond Naturals Adult Dry Dog Food

Dad

Okay. New thing. What do you think?

Boldo

It's food. I've had food before. Not sure why you need my opinion on brown rocks.

Dad

I'm going to need more than that. How does it smell?

Boldo

That's fair. It's got chicken in there—real chicken, not just the ghost of chicken. There's some fish meal underneath. Not offensive, actually. Better than that grain-free stuff from last month that smelled like cardboard.

Dad

You seemed reluctant to try it. What happened when you did?

Boldo

I was suspicious. But once I ate it, the texture was decent. Not hard like rocks, not soft like mush. The kibble breaks apart okay. Is the cat eating this too? I need to check her bowl. Wait, did you open a can in the kitchen? I smell something.

Dad

Anything about this that actually impressed you? Be honest.

Boldo

The chicken smell is consistent throughout the bag. My stomach feels fine after eating it—no weird digestion issues like some of the premium stuff you've tried. And I'm not starving by dinner. It's solid. That's all I'm saying.

Dad

Final verdict. Don't hold back.

Boldo

It works. It's not fancy, but it's honest food that doesn't make me feel like you're trying too hard or cutting corners. I'll eat it without complaint.
