Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | Fromm Food Im thinking of trying Fromm. I found a store in Harrisburg that carries it. That's a 30 min drive but we go there often. Katie Scarlett is currently on TOTW. Would Fromm be a better choice? Anyone have any experience with Fromm? Here is the store we have. It has a list of the foods they carry. Do any of these look better? I'm getting so confused with food. I want to be a good Yorkie mom! Abrams & Weakley Products Thanks for your help guys!

| I just switched Macy from TOTW to Fromm about a month ago. She loved TOTW and did really well on it. I had a full bag in my pantry that I threw out when the recall happened. The bag wasn't on the recall list but I am done with anything that Diamond Foods is involved in. Macy loves the Pork and Applesauce by Fromm. It isn't grain free and I thought she would have more of a reaction to it than she did. Her eyes get wetter than normal with a food that has grain in it but so far not too bad. I am going to keep her on this for a while but keep researching other foods until I can find one that meets all my criteria.

| I switched Zhoie to FROMM and she twirls for her food, loves it She was on TOTW too, but switched after the recall...I'm am sooo done with anything Diamond too We got the Salmom Tunalini, it's a grain-free recipe made with fresh wild salmon and tuna with medley of mediterranean garden vegetables. Give this one a try, Zhoie loves the fish flavors and they do so well for her.

| I switched mine to Fromm Chicken A La Veg some months ago now. I am very pleased, they like it, no digestive issues and they are doing well with it. |

| I also just put my dog on Fromm's grain free recipes. I have never seen my puppy eat so enthusiastically. He loves this food and transitioned without a problem. I was told that it is an excellent food especially for small dogs! I would definitely recommend Fromm's. The grain free food is rated 5 star! |

| I had Riley on Acana last year and decided to switch him to TOTW since it had fewer calories per cup and he likes to eat. Right before the recall I had decided, to switch him to FROMM Chicken A La Veg and Pork & Applesauce. Riley ended up with a very severe reaction to the grains in the FROMM. I put him back on Acana/Pacifica and he has started clearing back up.... but his ears were still red and irritated looking so I took him to the vet Friday to have him take a look at him and he gave me Surolan Otic 15ml to clear his ears up. I would almost be up for trying the Grain Free FROMM formulas but I think I will be sticking with Acana for a long time. |

| I actually LOVE Fromm - the company is awesome, they do feeding trials, they are a family owned business since the early 1900's, it's made in their own plant and no recalls, etc, etc. I just wish they had some formulas that were a bit more "simple" - most are pretty "busy" formulas. I tried and tried but Jackson doesn't do well on it. We did Surf and Turf way back and he got eye boogers BAD. We tried the pork formula and the duck formula late last year and he got really itchy after a full bag, also softer poo - I thought it may have just been a coincidence so decided to give it a go again a few weeks ago but he got gas (which is not normal for him, even on a cold turkey food switch) and soft poo again. I don't think he tolerates barley well, or maybe flaxseed? Who knows, maybe it's the ingredients all together that just bother him. Sooo... we always end up back on Acana. He's always done best on it, and I always end up back on it. He's been eating it most of his adult life. We used to feed the grain-frees but he's been on four bags now of the Singles line (chicken & potato, duck & pear, lamb & apple) and we rotate. He's doing fantastic. But I'd say give the Fromm a try! LOTS have fantastic results on it, and it's a GREAT food!!!

| I'm so disappointed in all these Diamond recalls too. Heidi does so well on TOTW. Starting all over again. Going to give the Fromm or Acana a try too. No more Diamond products.
