My dog loves it, but it's true that when you throw in the hot water, you expect it to puff up because it's dehydrated, but in the end, it turns into a soup with chunks. I've been using another provider for dehydrated food for years, so I can tell there’s a big difference. Still, my dog does eat Altudog, while with the other one, he won’t eat it anymore, probably from tiredness or something.
