Hunter loves his NEW FOOD

Hunter's Mom
I bought a new food from Crystal for Hunter from Grandma Lucy's called Thrive (which is now Artisan). I wasn't sure he would love it as he wasn't a big fan of Stella and Chewy's but he LOVES this food! He very unpatiently waits for his meal to be made in the evening and licks the bowl clean. Then he returns to the bowl later in order to clean the bowl just once more. We now have to take his bowl up when he is done to ensure that he doesn't keep running back after dinner to try his bowl again.

What about breakfast you wonder? That is made the night before and is taken out of the fridge before he goes out to the bathroom and that gets gobbled up and the bowel licked cleaner than clean!

I can't say enough about this great food and a big thanks to Crystal for helping me pick between this and Dr. H's.

Why did I pick this one over Dr. H's?? We don't usually have a lot of animal protein in the house because DH is vegan and I didn't want to compromise his beliefs by asking him to help me prepare Hunter's weekly food. So, we went the dehydrated route and its great! Also, we travel A LOT and so therefore this travels a lot better than something we would have to make fresh and keep it cold while traveling. So - that's why I picked it!:thumbsup:

No- my dogs didn't like it either :(
We have a new "health food store" just for dogs and cats that opened up a month ago only a few miles from where I live. I found it when I went on the Grandma Lucy's site of retailers. They didn't have samples but he told me to try it and bring it back if they didn't like it. Well, Cocotini went over and smelled it, took one little lick and walked away and refused to go back. I even tried tempting her by putting a little on my finger and tried to get her to lick it off. If a dog can screw up it's nose- that's exactly what she looked like she was doing and gave me an expression like "you seriously don't think I'm going to eat that, do you?" Oh well, still looking for a food she will like!! Right now she wants me to cook her ground lamb!! I have some samples of Go Natural- so I'll try those. Also tried some of the cans of Tiki dog food ($4.75/can!!!!!) and of course she wouldn't eat those either!!

Forgot to add - thanks Crystal about the treats. I'm trying some of the Grandma Lucy's right now, but will contact you in a couple weeks to try some of the ones you suggested.

Also, just curious, did anyone get a response from Grandma Lucy's or any of the samples? I haven't heard anything back from them.
