We use Fromms also. I think they claim you can just switch the food from one Fromm to another at the drop of a hat, but, there is no reason to push it. We have several pups now so we leave a couple of kibble flavors down and Robyn cooks up some ground turkey, sweet potato daily as well.

Oh these adorable little enigmatic characters---sometimes I think they put us through these trials just to make sure we stay truly connected!!! Thank you for your suggestion--it used to work!!

Did you try ground turkey? My better half went to that and sweet potato as sort of a mini meal to compliment the Fromms kibble that is always down for our 4.

OH! You could use chewy.com..... I love that place for their prices and customer service!

Only one thing caught me off guard... I kept auto-ship active when I should have deactivated it after ordering.

So, activate auto-ship for the discount, make your order then deactivate auto-ship is what I recommend.

I've not tried ground turkey (thank you, MarkFromSea) or the Frooms brand, but from what I'm reading I'm thinking I shall have to try both! As it is, Piper is the only dog I know who gets 'dessert;' she's learned that if she eats everything in her dish, she'll get her favorite treat!! Geez louise, crazy little canine!!

We've got an old guy, our one true yorkie, the ground turkey, sweet potato, some veg and kibble mixed in works pretty well for him since he has very few teeth. AAAAAaaaannnd.... since one gets the special meal each day, all 4 get it. LOL

Have you considered green tripe as a topper/mix-in? I've heard it has a world of health benefits and is irresistible to every dog. Mine love it! It stinks, but oh well....

Jkpal · 07-10-2016, 08:26 AM

How interesting--I've never even heard of green tripe, let alone tried it. However, since Piper seems to love things that smell awful, this tripe stuff may be worth a shot...Good for her, not so good for me!!

Furkidsfurme · 07-10-2016, 08:45 AM

It's the stomach of grass fed cows. Blech! But full of enzymes!

Yeah that's right slowly but surely

That's a good choice we know that tuna and salmon have fit with nutrients and protein for our dog.

Yes, yes, and yes! I second the green tripe. It has amazing benefits to dogs (supports immune system and provides all the necessary good bacteria) and is completely irresistible to dogs.

I bought the whole tripe in dried form - O.M.G. it's so nasty. You've never smelled nasty until you smelled green trip (aka unbleached cow stomach).

The things we are willing to do for the health of our little ones, huh. Think once I'm done this second bag, I'm going to opt for the freeze-dried version, which I've been told is slightly less stinky.
