We feed Stella and Chewy's freeze dried Chicken dinners, and have for some time. When we made the switch, Kaji's checkups improved, and since we were able to control his weight better on this than with kibble, his LP is a lot less aggravated. He never has complained about his LP, but I could tell at his heaviest that he would limp. He's fluffier now than he use to be, which I guess can count as an improvement for a soft coated yorkie? I'm counting it as a win anyway.
(He's just so fluffy!!!!)
#1 benefit of S&C, Kaji loves it!!! He would like new foods for a few weeks, then it was a struggle to get him to eat his food. Not with S&C. He eagerly wants his meals now.
I do feed the freeze dried for the ew factor vs the frozen patties. I don't re-hydrate, I just break the patty up in his bowl, and he gobbles it down. It's easier to clean bits out of his beard too. The raw patties would get stuck in his beard.
