To the OP....
Thank You Very Much for this list,,
I emailed all of them,, some i received nice quick emails saying they dont have samples now but to find them at "your local dealer" which are none,,but thats ok too,, from EVO I received snail mail (very quickly) 2 pamphlets about their products and a $5 & $3 coupons toward their food as they feel a sample isnt enough "to see the results of our food",,, from Natures Variety i received a free product voucher to redeem at a supplier (now to find that),, ,, but then yesterday,, I arrived back here (after a 2 days Tax trip home),, I returned to find 3 UPS delivered packages,, one from Artemis,, with a box FULL of sample paks, one from Eagle Pack, Holistic Select,, again, full of sample paks,(along with 3 coupons valued at $2 each),,,,, and one more package,,,from Chicken Soup for the Pet Lovers Soul,, again, full of larger sample paks!!! WTG!!!so its lots of free GOOD food,, so now to try it on em!! again,, Many Thanks for the Heads Up here on the sample idea!!

Our little yorkies are 9 yrs and 11 yrs old sisters have maintained their small size of 5 lbs each from eating Wellness CORE food, Old Mother Hubbard puppy biscuits, suppliments from Halo pets and Petzlife spray for their teeth.

Just wanted to pass along our testimonial for these products that have worked well for them and never any recalls to worry us.

Are there any of you in the UK who can advise me the best food to feed (not raw or home cooked). Darcy was on pedigree when I got her, and I have heard bad reviews about it so would like to change.
Was thinking of changing to natures diet, natures menu,or James well beloved. Any advice would be fantastic, Thanks

Default Samples

I asked a couple of companies for samples for my some to be fur-son. Wellnes sent 2 bags of 3oz, Chicken Soup sent 2 bags of 6oz, Eagle sent 2 bags, and canidae said they didn't send samples but told me about a local store which they supply with samples.

Hello Java,



Thanks for inquiring; unfortunately, we do not have samples. We are currently getting ready to release our trial size bags for resale next month so you might keep an eye out for them at your local retailer. If you would like to try our food before they become available what I would suggest is to purchase a small 5lb bag of food risk free because if your dog doesn’t like it, you can exchange the product. Please keep your receipt in the event your dog does not like the food.



If I can be of further assistance let me know.



Best regards,

Lesa

Merrick Pet Care

Is she saying there going to charge for the sample bags?

Default Super natural food

I have fed my dogs food from Flint River Ranch (Fasteners for Retail - Home). They use no preservatives and have lamb and rice or trout and sweet potato food. Now that they are senior puppy boys they get the senior kibble with chondroitin in it and they seem to be doing great! The prices are reasonable and there is no shipping charge. It beats lugging the bag out of the pet store into your car (then from car to house). I think they have free samples.

I am going crazy here! I am trying to get my yorkies on a better food. Right now I am feeding them Nutro Natural Choice (which is a 2 star rating) and I want them to have at least a 5 star rating (out of 6). Anyway, I started contacting some of these companies listed in the first post for some samples, and then noticed that Petsmart does not carry any of these brands! WHY? Petsmart is the only pet store around my area, and I can't even imagine what the shipping would be on a 40 lb bag of dogfood if I ordered online - so Petsmart is really my only option. So, who knows of a good, healthy dogfood sold at Petsmart???
