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!!! |
