Going Organic

As our family is growing/ has continued to grow we have found ways to make everyone healthier.

For those of you who remember; back in February our 4 yr old beagle Luke had a bulging disc in his back and became briefly paralyzed.

The two weeks he was unable to move we felt so hopeless. You could see the pain he was feeling in his eyes, it was aweful!

He slowly regained feeling but was still very sluggish and we could see he was not returning to his chipper self.

I talked with a grind and she suggested we add glucosamine supplements to his diet. I began to do some research and found out the food I was feeding my dog was literally killing him.

Basically any dog food with the first ingredients being corn meal or by products are fillers flavored; ours like meat. These foods are the equivalent to feeding your dog fast food everyday of their lives. No wonder he felt sluggish!!

So I did more research and found out organic dog food has all real ingredients and Fromm, the food we selected had a low activity/ senior blend and among all dog foods it had the highest level of glucosamine infused in!

We brought in a puppy in the end of April to bring Luke back to life and in early May they both began Fromm.




We can tell such a difference in how well he is getting around and how this food has helped him keep up with Lilly!



Other added bonuses, the food is so rich in meat and other ingredients we only feed the dogs one cup of food a day. And the presents they leave us are smaller. Goodbye mean ole fillers, we don't miss you at all!!

I just recently found this out on our last trip to the Vet. Trooper was having way too many accidents in the kitchen over night and they were not pretty to clean up. We now use only science diet. Any dog food that starts with meat is often better. Just make sure it's not a bi-product and we're set to go :)

Glad to hear the pups are doing good!
