Fromm flavors your dog likes? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

_Chrissy_ · 10-15-2012, 02:27 PM

We are a little over 1/2 way through our bag of Salmon a la Veg.
I have to order it from Mr Chewy's so I need a little lead time on which flavor to try next.
The boys like the Salmon a la Veg but it is time for a break from Salmon.
They were eating NB Salmon & Sweet Potato before this (went through 2 bags). So this was there 3rd Salmon flavored bag of food.

What other Fromm flavors are popular with your dog?

Thanks

Toki's favorite was definitely the Gamebird! And she also really liked the Surf n Turf! But it is hard to tell which she preferred for sure since she inhaled every flavor she tried!

Riley really Liked the chicken a la veg and the pork
and apple sauce...
He unfortunately had a reaction to the grains in it...
But if he hadn't I would more than likely still be feeding
it... I really like the company!!

Jackson is a freak over Beef Fritta and Game Bird. But the Game Bird is kinda giving his beard/breath a funky smell... not sure I like it!! Beef Fritta gave him soft-ish poops even after a whole bag. No issues as of yet with Game Bird, we are halfway through, and poops have been harder. But the smell ... oh god!! I really love Fromm, so want to stick with it. After the soft poo issue on Beef, I thought I'd try something else, so we bought a bag of Pure Vita Bison and he absolutely loathed the food... HATED it... wasn't worth the hard poops. I like him to really enjoy his meal and he's so obsessed with Fromm, he will do tricks for it (very unusual for him with kibble). So luckily Game Bird seems to be good on the poop side, but bad on the smell side! He does fantastic on Fromm in all other regards, he's been looking extra shiny lately, even tho no bath in 2 weeks. He's been extra active, just seems to be feeling really good. His muscles seem more noticeable even!

Have yet to try the grain inclusive Chicken a la Veg one, so may do that, just to give a shot.

Toki also had incredibly hard poops with the Pure Vita Bison! And she was going 4 times a day (she normally goes only 2 times a day)! It had waaaaaaay more fiber than the Fromm she was used to and lower protein which I also think may have contributed to the ridiculous amount of rock hard poos...Toki loved the PV and I really wanted to like it as well but just didn't work for us. We had to stop that and try something else...we'll probably end up back with Fromm though...she really has done the best on their grain-free versions.

Yeah, he started doing a nightly poo around 9-10pm which he NEVER does. Admittedly, he wasn't on Pure Vita long. I couldn't get him to eat it without mixing it with other yummy things. He seriously HATED it lol. I don't think I've ever seen him not like a food so much. But I think they're a decent company, and it definitely made his poo harder (which was a good thing for us -- it wasn't TOO hard), but yeah we returned it for Fromm Game Bird (after coming off a bag of Beef Fritta).

I really really really want him to do well on Fromm. I seriously love them so much, lol. I have a lot of respect for their company. Just love the way they do business. I also love getting responses from them from Fromm family members, etc. They are also very honest. And honestly, they are the only kibble I've never read a bad thing about.

Anyways, his poo was just never where I wanted it to be on the Beef Fritta... always fairly soft (nothing major) but softer than I "like". I only fed it for one 4lb bag so maybe just needed more time. But we're on Game Bird now and poop is much better, but I can't stand the smell!

Did you notice any kind of smell? It seems to stay on Jackson's beard or something... but flavor-wise, Beef was his absolute fav. Was considering trying to find a way to add some extra fiber into his diet maybe through probiotics, or maybe just some kind of a treat.

What about Surf and Turf or Salmon... are they fishy smelling or cause fishy smelling breath/face?

I only noticed a funky smell when Toki was on the Salmon a la Veg (fish stinks anyway I guess lol) but not on the other varieties we've tried. I always thought the Gamebird actually smelled pretty good lol Does Jackson have an issue with beef in general or is it just the Fromm variety? I used to think that Toki had issues with beef but she had great stools on the Beef Frittata (although who knows how much beef is actually in there *shrug*). Maybe adding probiotics or some form of additional fiber to the Beef Frittata would give you the best of both worlds though!

MY OSCAR · 10-16-2012, 01:42 AM

oscar is not picky at all but the 2 flavors of fromm we have tried are beef fritata & game bird. I only feed the grain free.
all my dogs were eating blue but they had the most horrible gas for some reason so i recently switched them back to fromm grain free and the the gas is gone.. Yay !
thankfully a local pet store started carrying fromm.....

_Chrissy_ · 10-16-2012, 07:22 AM

Max & Mickey have no "smell" issues with the Salmon a la Veg.

Sounds like Surf & Turf, Chicken a la Veg or Game Bird might be good to try next.

They are not having issues with the grains in Salmon a la Veg.

Did he have issues with the Grain Free ones too?

BiewerYorkie · 10-16-2012, 07:25 AM

I have never tried this food. My guys love Grandma Lucy's Chicken and most flavors of Addiction freeze dried. Is Fromm similar to these?

Louise and Zachary

MikaTallulah · 10-16-2012, 01:17 PM

Mine are all happy with Chicken a la Veg. So for me if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Shelby&Seymour · 10-16-2012, 04:03 PM

We switch between the grain free Surf & Turf and also the Beef Frittata with no issues..... They love both flavors!

LolasMama · 10-18-2012, 09:28 PM

My Lola has pancreatitis and the only one she can eat is Whitefish & Potato due to the fat/protein content. Both my babies LOVE it!!!
