Something new: Starting today, and every other Wednesday, you can ask the nutritionists at Fromm Family Food questions about nutrition issues involving your dogs and cats directly. This topic will appear on Facebook – the blog doesn’t permit me to post questions here – and Fromm nutritionists will look at the questions and answer the ones they can respond do. Fromm has perhaps the best reputation in the animal food business, they are the oldest family-owned holistic pet food company in America, they do not outsource their food, use the freshest ingredients,  have never had a recall. I agreed to have Fromm as a sponsor because it is the food I have been feeding Red, Lenore and Frieda.

Almost all of the corporate dog food companies are experiencing recalls, they simply don’t seem to care as much about your pets. I believe Fromm does.

All of my dogs were having food related issues. Red’s coat was dry and coarse, he needed a high calorie food for his work, Frieda was suffering from allergies, itching and dry coat, and Lenore was getting older, needed a good food to keep her weight even and her energy high. She was also scratching almost continuously. I was researching “Going Home: Finding Peace When Pets Die” and talking to a lot of vets and a lot of them urged me to try Fromm, they said it was the best dog and cat food available.

I did, and the results were quite impressive. Red’s coat turned into a darker, glossy brown, his energy was and is high, all of the allergy issues and dry skin and itching problems disappeared. Freida is on senior food, and her coat is still glossy, shedding is way down, her scratching and Lenore’s has stopped. Lenore’s weight dropped a bit and has remain steady. My vet is very happy with these changes, and I hate to talk about it and not in detail but dog lovers know that solid stool is important, and that has also improved dramatically.

So Fromm is a sponsor of Bedlam Farm and of my podcasts and I am happy to invite them to answer questions on nutrition. I’ll post a separate topic on Facebook and this will be a regular Wednesday feature on my Facebook Page. They won’t be able to answer all of your questions, they will respond to the ones that are appropriate. Thanks, this will be fun to follow. Nutritional information is also available on Fromm’s website and through their customer service department.
