| Do you feed Artemis? I'm wondering who feeds Artemis and what type of results you have seen? Has the food improved the coat? And overall health? Do you rotate with any other foods, if so which ones? Where do you buy it? I just had the opportunity to buy a sample. My dogs love everything, so they are not the best judge on taste - lol. The only place anywhere near me that has it, is a new groomer I just tried on Friday - less than favorable grooming experience - so I'm trying to figure out if I want to keep bringing business in her door (even though, I am a huge supporter of local business people) For the past 2 days the yorkies & my Siamese have been eating the Artemis -- only reservation I have is someone is tooting - not sure who, as all 3 are lying here with me right now. So, I'm concerned about that. I like what I see in the content of this food - lot of meat products. I used to feed Flint River Ranch, but for about 4 mths have been experimenting a bit - last experiment was Blue Buffalo - but I wasn't impressed - their stools were much larger on that If I don't go with Artemis, I'm leaning towards Canidea or Chicken Soup - what thoughts do you have?

| At this time I'm feeding Chicken Soup for Puppies and Wellness. I fed Canidae in the past but she stopped eating it completely. Purchased Natural Balance Sweet Potato and Fish formula which is going back tomorrow, she smelled of it and gave me a look like I'd lost my mind. I have thought about feeding her Innova EVO but it appears pretty high in protein. |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | when i fed kibble i used canidae and was happy with it. I did get a sample of the artemis and morgan loved it but it wasn't readily available so i didn't continue it.

| Kasey eats Artemis I feed Kasey Artemis, and she loves it. I think I originally heard about it on these boards. Because I like to spoil her (no other good excuse), and because she seems to love it, I mix in about one strip of boiled chicken with two tablespoons of Artemis, then sprinkle a little grated parmesan on top. I then cover the mixture with water, because she's not big on drinking water...and this way she stays hydrated. In fact, my only worry is that she seems always to be wanting more! I feel her this amount twice a day -- first thing in the morning and then again in the early evening. Hope this is helpful! I'm an Artemis fan. Kasey's coat looks good, she doesn't seem to ever toot (: and she seems to be very happy with her meals.

We did get a couple sample bags of the EVO - but I don't know I'm suppose to know if it's too much protein or if I should watch for something in them. Plus with the small bags, it's really hardly enough to watch for long.

| I tried Max on artemis and he liked it, but it was hard to find around here. I will tell you that if you request a sample they send you alot! I had like 12 bags of food. Try it :-)

| Artemis Hi again, I buy it at a small pet store here in Fort Lauderdale. I haven't seen it at any of the big chains, but the small stores do carry it. I went to Agway, and they told me they'd be happy to order it for me, so that's another option. And online is always a great option, as long as the price is right! (: Good luck, and let me know if I can help in any way. Kim

| After going through numerous brands of dog food for my little one...I am feeding raw. Prior to raw and when the raw is not available I do feed Polo Artemis for puppies. He likes it a lot compared to some of the others. The only down size now that i am feeding raw is that his bowels when eating Artemis are terrible and his breath is fishy due to the salmon in Artemis. Other than that..its a great kibble. I live in a major city so just about every specialty pet store in DC carries Artemis. |
