Does anyone feed Fromm? If so, which one and how is it?

ArmaniMan · 06-02-2010, 10:08 AM

I have fed the chicken formula, duck formula, and the grain free surf and turf over the years and loved them all... I was very happy with the company and the food. All the dogs always loved it. My got my mom to feed her poodles the surf and turf and they have been on it for a few years now and do very well on it. I highly recommend the food.

I had to switch because they didnt have anything low protein enough now that my kiddos have live disease.

I feed my boys Fromm's Chicken a la Veg kibble and they love it.

We tried the Fromm Surf & Turf grain free, but the higher protein content or fish did not agree with my younger boy. His system is a little more sensitive.

The other 2 flavors in Fromm's Four-Star menu did not appeal as much to the boys, and they are slightly higher in fat/calories if I am not mistaken.

I fed the grain-free Surf and Turf version and had no complaints about it. I think it's a really great food. I stopped feeding because I wasn't certain if it was causing Jackson's major eye booger problem or not... but I still would feed it. I actually still have some left that we might try out and see if it truly is his eye problem or not.

I'd recommend the food to anyone. We are currently feeding Acana.

Which Acana? I had read that the small breed formula can't come into the US from canada because of the berries.

I believe the only ones they sell in the US are the grain-free ones. We rotate between Grasslands and Prairie Harvest.

How does the kibble size compare to the Fromm's surf and turf ?

Some of us food nuts actually measured the Acana kibble on this thread (see post #7).

It's about 3/4 the size of a dime and about 1/8" thick. Oh, and there's pictures of the kibble in post #14. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...bble-size.html

Yuna eats Fromm Gold Puppy. I tried soooooooooooo many varieties of dog food. She only likes this one. I tried the Surf and Turf, but she didn't like it too much. I got a bag that's practically full! The Fromm Gold puppy kibble is very small, it is the smallest I have seen. It is easy for Yuna to bite and she is only 4 months old!

We recently switched to Fromm. We are presently using the Pork.
The one thing I've noticed, all of their eyes seem to have more discharge from Nature Variety they used to eat.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Yep, when Jackson was eating Fromm, he began getting terrible eye boogers and that was why I stopped feeding. We only fed for a little over 2 months and he seemed to really like it, so it was a shame but he was waking up with just gross gobs in his eyes!

Hmm, I don't know how much the Fromm's contributes to my boys' eye boogies. They weren't that bad until the pollen started flying and our farmer neighbor started mowing the alfalfa. I wonder if the tomato pumice causes the boogers.

I think we are going to switch back to Nature's Variety. I think it has to be the Fromm.
All three eat it and their eyes are awful!
