I just want to say THANK YOU for providing pet parents a service that benefits them and their pets. I’ve been struggling with my dog not eating consistently for the past year. It was supposed to be really good dog food because I thought that it was scientifically healthy for him. Because of that struggle that I’m very tired of having just recently I decided to change the dog food brand. Found your website after doing a lot of research on dog food and ultimately switched my dog to a better diet that is more biologically appropriate for him. We’re not fully on raw yet but we want to get there. The kibble I have him on now has a higher quality of meat and there is no more fuss during meal Time. Because of you and all the other wonderful people you interview, I’ve learned so much.
