Duke..dog, Rikki...cat’s Story

I have a 8 year old rescue Golden Retriever named Duke. He has had a particularly rough year. We have survived an IRS audit, the deaths of 2 very close friends and Duke's battled not 1 but 2 bacterial infections, that had not only left him very sick, but except for his head, completely shaved with the hair VERY slow to grow back. As you can imagine, he was on quite a regiment of various antibiotics, steroids etc. like most of our fur babies, he hates to take pills. I have tried everything. I had settled on feeding him the Fresh Pet tube food, with the 14 pills per day shoved in the pieces but after a couple of weeks, he would spit them out. Then a small but hugely important miracle happened. Your company asked if I would test this new Fresh Pet dog food to Duke! Well,ufffdufffdneedless to say the food is a HUGE hit! He is now down to 4 pills per day and I do not even have to hide them!! I just place them in his bowl and put 2 cups of the Fresh Pet shredded Chicken, cranberry/veggie blend and he loves it so much, it is gone including the pills, by the time I put the bag back in the fridge!! HE LOVES it! I wish more retailers carried it, but at least the Target store does so I can load up! Thank you for this product! It has only been 3 weeks but his hair seems to be growing in quicker and his skin is MUCH less dry! I can't thank your company enough! Duke's Mom !!!!
