Daisy is a 10-month-old puppy of mixed breed (Lab, Aussie Shepherd among other things!). We got her from the local rescue where she'd been on a diet of Purina Pro dry food. Honestly, she was never very interested in eating it and I often used to sit with her for several minutes coaxing her to eat it. It made me think that there was probably a better option out there. I came across the Dr. Marty video online and it made a lot of sense that dog food and processed dog food in particular was responsible for the increase in cancer and dog ailments generally. I ordered the NATURE’S BLEND Premium Freeze-Dried Raw Dog Food but the day we started giving it to Daisy (25% mixed with 75% of her original dry food) she started having really bad diarrhea. My husband (a veteran of many dogs fed on processed dry food) immediately blamed the new food and we stopped giving it to her. Which was a shame because Daisy absolutely loved it! We since discovered that the reaction was not the food and was in fact a reaction to the flea and tick treatment (after it happened 3 months in a row immediately after her treatment).
So my husband reluctantly let me start her again on the Nature's Blend food and the ProPower Plus powder. I have her on 2/3 Nature's Blend and 1/3 her old food at the moment.
It's fair to say Daisy adores it and eagerly waits while I make it up and wolfs it down immediately. She even licks the bowl out that I make it up in every day.
My husband (who is the major poop picker-upper in our family!) admits that it's made a difference. The poop is very regular and is perfect "Lincoln logs" and there is no straining for Daisy. She has lots of energy and has a very shiny coat.
We are all very happy with the choice of food - it's clearly more expensive than the average dog food but I'm happy to pay the extra knowing that she loves it and it could extend her life!
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
