My dog, Labby was named by my daughter when she was in 3rd grade because my daughter thought she looked like a lab; but she's a rescue mix. Labby is our sweetheart, our happy dog. I like to give her some soft food as part of her diet, but she never quite liked any canned food and I was concerned if it was the healthiest choice for her. Also, my dog lives mostly outside and is fed there, and any left over canned food would attract birds and end up really causing a big mess. I also noticed when she turned about 10 years old that she would sometimes limp in her hind legs after getting up from a long nap - she'd eventually work out the kinks, but I was worried about her health growing older. I switched to Freshpet a couple of years ago, and she has loved it from the beginning. She never leaves a crumb behind, and is not limping anymore - she runs around like a young dog, and other than the white in her face, you wouldn't know that she's 11 years old. Also, I notiiced she's getting a little thinner in her old age, but I've just added a little extra Freshpet to her diet and she still eats every crumb. The cost of Freshpet per serving is also very comparable to most canned food, so I appreciate that as a pet owner. Freshpet gives me the peace of mind that I can give my dog the best food for her and still stay within my budget. Sincerely, Anita Brunsting
