When Red came to me nearly two years ago, he was very healthy, but his coat was bright red and dry, the hair bristly. At the same time, I was having some problems with Lenore, whose skin was also dry and who had developed allergies and was scratching and licking quite a bit. Frieda had also developed allergies, and an extremely dry coat.

I called several of the vets I had interviewed for my book “Going Home: Finding Peace When Pets Die,” and I asked each one to recommend a dog food that would do several things for me. Give Red a softer, fuller coat, help Frieda and Lenore with dryness and allergies.

All three vets mentioned Fromm as the best available dog food in America, the one they all recommended the most. I got some, and I was so impressed I contacted Fromm and said I would be willing to have them as a sponsor on my website if they wished to be here. They did. As the oldest family-owned holistic dog food company in America, Fromm is very careful about their food. They do not outsource any of their food products, they have never had a recall.

Red’s coat turned shiny, and then brown (he needed vitamins) and Frieda and Lenore stopped scratching. All three coats are lush and healthy, and although it is indelicate to mention it elsewhere, I will also say I pay a lot of attention to stools, they are a wonderful measure of health. My dogs are doing great, and I am proud to have Fromm as a sponsor, the only sponsor of the blog, the only food my dogs eat.

This year, Fromm’s nutritionists have agreed to come onto my Facebook Page every Wednesday morning (they are there right now, today) to answer your questions about nutrition for your dogs and cats. I appreciate this service, it is not easy to get honest and immediate information about healthy nutrition. In coming months, a veterinarian associated with Fromm will also be coming onto the site to answer questions. Each week, we give the best question a free bag of dog or cat food, so I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity and post your question on my Facebook page today. We’ll choose a winner later, this will happen every Wednesday morning.

I am very fussy about my dogs and my sponsors – Fromm is the only one I have ever considered. I recommend them and their food completely and enthusiastically.
