| Help! Has anyone used Fromm Family Dog food? My almost 2 year old male yorkie, Indy, has been on Blue Buffalo Wilderness Duck Recipe dry food for about 9 months. After having no problems with loose stool what-so-ever during most of that time, he began having uncontrollable diarrhea about a month or so ago. Several vet trips later, we've decided that the problem might be the food as no other problem can be found. I've fasted him several times to let his stomach chemistry reset, but every time I put him back on the blue buffalo and stop giving him the anti-diarreheal pills the vet gave us, the diarrhea comes back. I know Blue Buffalo is a very good, high quality food, but it just doesn't seem to be working for Indy anymore. After doing some research I've decided to try Fromm Family Four Star Grain-Free Game Bird Recipe dry food. I'm hoping this will solve the issue, as it's become a costly, stressful, and messy problem. And most of all, I want him to feel better. Anyone who has used Fromm Family dog food before I'd love to hear your experiences with it, good or bad! Thanks!! |

| I have been feeding my boys Fromm Four Star Nutritionals for a couple of years. They eat the Chicken a la Veg mostly. The boys do very well on this food.

| Fromm Family Surf and Turf Hi, I have been feeding my 3 yorkies Fromm Family Surf and Turf for a few years. Even the picky eater will eat it! I like that it is grain free. Have you tried adding a t-spoon of (pure) canned pumpkin to his food? It might help his tummy. |

| Ive heard good things and if your little one doesnt do well on the new food most stores will allow you to bring it back. I had tried a new food that wasnt working for Chloe and I was able to return it to PetSmart even tho I had used a third of the bag

| FROMM Four-Star Riley has been eating TOTW since about December, and he has been doing good on it, but I found I was having to let it sit in water, and then add about a teaspoon of Weruva wet to get him to eat it.....which isn't really That big a deal. But, I ordered a bag of the FROMM Four-Star Chicken A La Veg, online, yesterday and then I found out a place here in the city sells it so I walked over today and bought a bag of the FROMM Four-Star Pork & Applesauce. I put a little bit down when I got home and he ate it up plain, with no water, or Weruva and he seemed to really like it. I am going to see how well he does and I may switch him over to FROMM, completely. I did some research on the company and like everything I have read and heard about them. I also Love how many different flavors they have. There are 5-different flavors in the Four-Star Recipes as well as an additional 4-different grain free flavors. |

| I really really love Fromm. I think their company is awesome, I love their customer service, I love that they manufacture their own food, I think their foods are very nice. Jax loved it, but seemed to get itchy on it. Once we stopped the food, itchiness went away? This was back in October.... so I dunno. I could give it another shot, maybe it was environmental. But he's been doing GREAT on Acana, it's the food he had done the best on, and now he's on bag 3 of Acana 'Singles' line (we did two bags of duck & pear, and are now on lamb & apple). I really am liking this line and not really planning to switch!

| My boys have been eating Fromm Four Star for almost a year and we all love it. Cooper used to have a sensitive stomach but we have had zero issues since he started eating Fromm. I buy 2 bags of 2 different flavors each month. They love them all and with the flavor changes they don't seem to get tired of it.

| Ian loves Fromm, but he is not a picky eater. He eats the whitefish/potato and the low-fat cheese treats once in a while. We have had no problems with it.

| I have been feeding Fromm for quite awhile now. My 3 do very well on it.... actually Shelby has gotten her "girlish figure" back! We switch between the Chicken ala veg, the Beef Fricata (sp?), & the Surf & Turf. (I buy a different flavor each time I get a new bag). We have had no problems at all and they LOVE it!

I was also mixing Natural Balance Ultra but seemed to be running into problems with it alhtough i have fed that one for some years. Problem is, many of these companies change the formula and don't say anything about it. It can be a subtle change but it will upset many dogs gastro system. | |

| I give mine a mix of Fromm's Chicken a la Veg and Natural Balance Ultra Premium Small Bites and have been for quite awhile. I would like to introduce another good quality food, if I could figure out what that would be.
