We Love Fromm Four Star Nutritionals Dog Food! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

AllDogBoots · 07-28-2011, 07:46 AM

We recently switched to Fromm Four Star Nutritionals dog food. My boys have been eating Life's Abundance for about a year, but I wanted to switch food to see if it would help Max with his coprophagy issue (it didn't).

Cooper has a very sensitive stomach and is doing quite well with this new food. Before we started on Fromm he would dabble in his food bowl, eat one piece at a time, walk away for a while, come back, etc. Now when I prepare his bowl he actually spins in circles! It's such a joy to see him really enjoy his meals. Max could eat anything.

The best part about this food is there is a variety of flavors all with the same formula so the flavors can be switched out as often as we want. Yesterday was Duck & Sweet Potato and today was Chicken ala Veg. The switch has never effected my boys' tummies. There is also a grain free formula.

I'm no nutrition expert but I believe this is a healthy food. If you have picky eaters, you may want to give it a try. There's nothing better than screaming "Who wants Pork & Applesauce?!!!" and having the boys run and almost knock me down to get to their bowls

That is great Karen!! It is so stressful when they won't eat their food or they just don't seem interested. Glad you found what your guys love and they are doing great on it.

Thanks. I just thought that Cooper was a slow eater. He would take a kibble to the other room, spit it out on the carpet and eat it. I suppose he just didn't like the flavor. I love seeing my boys eat. It's a good, healthy sign.

That's wonderful! I can feel how happy you are about the new food.

Fromm is a really good brand - I have a lot of respect for the company.

Nancy1999 · 07-28-2011, 08:25 AM

I read the ingredients, it sounds very healthy. Glad you found something he loves!

BonBon · 07-28-2011, 08:31 AM

Question - what is the kibble size and shape like in the Duck and Chicken flavors? I've only fed the Whitefish flavor and the kibble was very small, flat triangular pieces. My guys loved it! Perfect for tiny mouths.

roseylovestosho · 07-28-2011, 08:36 AM

I'm glad you found something they love! Teddy also has a sensitive stomach and finding food for him was hard...he's on artemis right now and he likes it fine...jut don't think it's his holy grail food. I'll give Fromm a try when we're done with the current bag

I've never tried the whitefish flavor but there was 1 flavor i remember (that i can't remember) that had smaller kibbles than the duck/chicken/pork. I don't have the chicken flavor here but the duck has octagon shaped, flat kibbles that are about 1/4" wide, same as the pork flavor.

Jennxling · 07-28-2011, 10:28 AM

My babies also love Fromm. We got sample packets from the store and they always eat it and leave the other ones out. We haven't switched yet because they still have tons of the Merricks food left. We will be switching though!

Oh, their customer service is also great!

The Chicken a la Veg kibble is very small and square. The smallest of all the flavors is the grain-free Surf & Turf, which is like little BBs.

Glad your boys are liking the Fromm, Karen! My babies used to LOVE Fromm so much, but Lola can't have it anymore since she got pancreatitis.

Shelby&Seymour · 07-30-2011, 03:41 AM

We have been feeding Fromm for about 3 weeks now, also. We are feeding the Surf & Turf and the Chicken Ala Veg. They love both flavors and the transition from Innova to Fromm went very smoothly... It took about 4 days (adding a bit more Fromm every day).
Glad to hear that it is working well for you, too!

LDandPasquale · 07-30-2011, 03:51 AM

Pasquale is a big fan of Chicken a La Veg!!!! He loves it!!!
