OMG Artemis rocks! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I have spent the better part of 3 months trying to find just ONE product from the list of the worlds best dog food - that is VERY hard, US companies won't ship and there were no Danish shops with any of the brands on the net.
But then I got a tip about a girl 20km from here who just started importing Artemis. I called her and she sent me a sample which I have just recieved.

I swear to you, I have NEVER seen my girls eat so fast, they got crazy about the smell alone and gobbled the sample up so fast - it's obvious they love it.
It smells different too - much better.

I can't wait to see what it does to them in a month, instead of the usual crapfood I have been forced to give them. Royal Canin, Pedigree, Nutro, Science Diet - I have tried a few and they all have white rice, or corn, or biproducts and main ingredient is corn or something not-so-good.

Thanks for the info. Keep us informed.

Are you feeding the Artemis Small Breed? My girls, even my fussy eater, love it!

I'd be interested to know as well! I've never heard of that brand before~!

As much as I loved the Artemis small breed.. All three of my dog's didn't like it at all.. when they ate it. it disagreed with their tummies.. they got really bad diarrhea.

Yorkieville200 · 09-20-2005, 10:18 AM

Hmmmm....I wonder if there is a common ingredient that your girls might be allergic to in it.

kewtee · 09-20-2005, 10:31 AM

Yes I am - small breed it is

Did a search on Google and here you are:

The Artemis Small Breed even smells good!!!!

One of my girls is a very fussy eater, but with the ASB, she never takes her little face out of her bowl.

You know, i never thought about that, cause I usually always switch their food up, but no diarrhea or anything.. maybe it is.. i really wish i could feed artemis (it's a hell of a lot cheaper than innova.. but boo!)

Oh, you know it could also be that there is not enough grain in the Artemis Small Breed for your babies. My girls can't handle much grain, but a lot of dogs need more.

kewtee · 09-20-2005, 11:56 AM

Grain? Doesn't brown rice do the same?

Yorkieville200 · 09-20-2005, 12:06 PM

Yes, brown rice is a grain and would add fiber. Some dogs need more fiber than others.

I have never fed Artemis Small Breed exclusively. My girls get a rotation of foods: one meal it's Nature's Variety canned, (this is all meat and vegetables, no grains) the next meal is Artemis Small Breed kibble, the next meal is Nature's Variety frozen organic chicken medallions (it's raw, but I do cook it.) And the next meal is a home-cooked meal (that I prepare and freeze), of chicken breast, wholegrain barley, whole grain brown rice, oatmeal, cooked carrots, cooked green beans, garlic, flaxseed oil, etc., served with yogurt on top.

Your dogs are so lucky to have a mom who pampers them like that

Yorkieville200 · 09-21-2005, 03:07 AM

Awww....Mette, thank you.

They deserve to be pampered. Besides, I have to admit, seeing the look in their eyes at mealtime, gives me a lot of pleasure.
