I have 3 dachshunds and they love the small breed formula of the dry food. The quality and freshness is awesome!!! A great product. Thanks.

Just to let you know, my 15 year old Maine Coon cat has been diabetic since he was 3 years old. Seven weeks ago I started him on your food. He is on Lantus, Human Insulin at $127.00 a month. Once on your food, he went from testin 309 glucose level (very high), down to 65, almost normal, in the Vet's office. He lost weight and so did our other cat. They love the food. Thanks for saving him. His long fur is shiny; he is full of pep like a kitten. I am considering feeding it to my husband! Just kidding, almost!

Thank you for a wonderful product. My French Bulldogs, who are finicky, sure know the difference in taste and quality!

My husband and I are breeders of African Pygmy hedgehogs. We're located on Long Island, NY. For a long time we were using "another leading brand" of dry cat food to feed our hedges. Then we discovered Earthborn Holistic Primitive Feline at Pets Warehouse last year and decided to give it a try. Since the switch, we've noted a drastic increase in the size and health of the babies born to our females. I can't think of any reason for that, except for the change in their diet. Plus the hedgies adore it! The smaller kibble size makes it easier for them to chew, especially the weanlings and the older adults with tooth problems. We have to be careful not to overfeed, because they will gobble down as much of it as we give them! We love that it's all natural and grain free, and it's very economical too. It's got plenty of protein, and everything a hedgehog needs as a good solid base diet, and we're totally thrilled with it. We also use Feline Vantage for our Brazilian short-tailed opossums, and they love it too. They grab our hands and beg at suppertime!

I thought you might like to know that your product is greatly appreciated by a small but voracious herd of little hedgehogs and opossums and we plan to continue using it exclusively from now on. Thanks for making it!

A very happy and healthy Vinny

I want to thank you for giving me back my dog. I have an 8 year old cairn terrier who has had GI problems most of his life. In January of last year, it got so bad I had him scoped at my vet's suggestion. Following the procedure and a bout with aspirated pneumonia, Vinny was diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease. The vet said he would have to be put on a diet of hydrolyzed dog food for the rest of his life and that if that didn't work we'd need to supplement his treatment with steroids. The prescription food prescribed was expensive and Vinny wouldn't eat it. We switched him to another novel protein prescription canned food with no luck. Combine that with more meds each day than I care to count, the poor little guy lost three pounds in less than two weeks which is a whole lot when you only weight 20 pounds to begin with. The only thing we could finally get him to eat was a bland canned food we had often given him in the the past when he had his bouts of vomiting. It does the trick, short-term, but isn't very nutritious so we had to give him a supplement as well. Cost and the fact that I was tossing a can into our recycling bin every day didn't sit well with me so I tried transitioning him to less expensive canned foods without any luck. I was determined to get Vinny back on dry food and started investigating grain-free options. A young man at doggiefood.com (their warehouse is nearby and locals can buy direct) was a great source of information about my various options and steered me to your Great Plains Feast. I held my breath as I started the transition last October. Days then weeks went by and no GI issues. Plus, Vinny couldn't wait for meal time. He loooooves it! We haven't had one incident of vomiting since. He also has more energy, his coat is shiny and full again like a cairn's coast should be. I won't ever buy any other dog food. Vinny and I thank you, thank you for a terrific product. And since we both love trees, I'll be sending in my UPC codes as well!

This is just a short message to let you know how impressed I am with your food. We have 3 short haired jack russells. The one female jack russell had a problem with her skin. I changed to your brand about 3 months ago. Since then she has not scratched, and all the hair that she had rubbed away has grown back and grown back thicker. She even looks bulkier than before. We had to take her to our vet, because she had bruised her back while rubbing agains the base of the chair.

Our other jack russell had very pink and and a bit inflamed belly skin; his skin is now a healthy colour and he is not scratching as they were before.

Once again, thank you for a wonderful food, we will not be changing their food.

Hello, my name is Amanda and I began purchasing your grain free food for both my dogs and cats several months ago. My dogs shedding has been greatly reduced and it has also been compatible with their sensitive stomachs. My cat's coats are much healthier and I have not awakened to a single hair ball on my floor since about a week after switching them all over from another "grain free" diet. I refer everyone that I can to your food and have begun purchasing it for my mother's pets as well. I have 6 large dogs (cane corsos), a toy poodle and 5 cats. I plan on keeping them on your food; I purchase from Pet Depot, a small pet store in a strip mall close to my home. I am writing to thank your company for producing such a wonderful food.

Hi, my name is Kassy S. I am a foster home for the Greene County Humane Society in NC. I get in the sickest of the sick when it comes to the pets. I am currently fostering 2 animals in need. One is a 2 yr. old Mini Long Haired Daschund named Dean. The other is an 8 yr. old cat named Bell. They both have severe food allergies. Dean was a puppy mill stud. When I got him he was a big huge SCAB. My father asked me how I even knew what kind of hair he has because he really has none visible. So I started baby oil baths, fish oil liquid and started feeding Earthborn Small Breed. Now he is starting to look better.

Bell on the other hand is only 4 lbs. She is allergic to almost everything. I have had her for a year. Bell came to me as 1 lb. of NOTHING. Her fur was missing in huge patches and she had huge scabs over her whole body. She hardly had a pad on one of her feet. She was so dehydrated. She was put on IV fluids for 3 weeks. She now runs around and plays with Dean like they are the best of friends. When we first got her home, she started throwing up and the vet said to try a new food so we switched and then her skin issues came back. So we tried prescription diet food. That worked for a week so I was talking to a friend who works at a sore that sells Earthborn Holistic. He convinced me to try it. Bell has been on it for 6 months now with no issues. I can ONLY feed her grain-free canned food and I do mix in some grain-free dry. If I wouldn't have found your food I am convinced that Bell would have died. The Vet had already lost hope on her but I have NOT and WILL not. I know she will be with me until her passing.

Thanks, you have a great product.

Kudos to you. Our Lab, Onyx loves Coastal Catch and Great Plains Feast. She consumes less product, produces less waste and often receives compliments on her beautiful shiny coat.

We recently adopted Chip, a now 3 month old wire-haired terrier mix. We tried Puppy Vantage with him, assuming we'd get the same great results. Regrettably, while he gobbled it up, Chip soon lost his appetite and developed diarrhea. We wondered if he might have some type of food allergy.

Based on comments on your Facebook page, we decided to try the grain-free Meadow Feast to address the problem. Chip now DEVOURS his food with gusto, and his digest upsets are completely gone.

Thank you for your fine products.

I wanted to write you folks to let you know how much my kitties ABSOLUTELY LOVE your Monterey Medley wet food. Pookie's Bow Wow Boutique, my local pet food supplier, just recently started carrying your products. I have a multi-cat household and have rescued over 15+ kitties from a local colony. We have tried several other leading grain-free foods. Some love them, others are not so crazy about them. It is difficult to find good, wholesome and tasty food to feed my clowder that is amendable to all of the kitties' tastebuds. The Monterey Medley seems to have been that solution. In fact, I had a kitty who had an URI who had completely lost his appetite. He wouldn't eat anything. I introduced Monterey Medley. It was miraculous! He started eating and from then on would not eat anything else. It quite possibly saved his life as he was dramatically losing weight and was fading fast! So thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thank you for producing such a wholesome food. I am thrilled that there is a pet food company that is so concerned for our environment. It's quite a refreshing concept. Keep up the good work.

I was at Petco last Saturday and one of your reps saw me picking up some of my usual brand of food for my dogs.

He talked to me about your formulas. I am quite picky about what I feed my dogs. Initially I was hesitant, I will admit, but after listening to him, I decided to give it a try. I couldn't decide between the Great Plains Feast and the Primitive Natural and ended up choosing Great Plains Feast.

Well, my dogs LOVE IT! I was thoroughly surprised and pleased. Thanks you so much for helping me keep my pups happy and healthy while helping to keep the planet green.

Gillian, a walking testimonial to Earthborn Holistic.

I have been feeding Earthborn Holistic Primitive Natural for six months and the dogs and I love the results--good taste for them and great conditioning and trainability. They are shown in obedience competition.My dog Gillian is a walking testament to Earthborn: she is lovely and no I am not prejudiced!

I've been feeding my four dogs, ranging in size from a 30 lb. Puggle to a 130 lb. Great Dane, the Adult Vantage formula for about five months now. Having been through a ridiculously wide array of holistic food, I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical for the first couple of months, but the food has surprisingly had positive results. The dogs' coats are shiny, extraordinarily soft and have never looked better and they absolutely love the taste! They didn't have that typical new-food hesitation when I offered it to them for the first time. The kibble is the perfect size for just about any size dog, except maybe a toy breed that would need tiny bites.

I will continue to feed the product as long as it maintains it's quality. Thank you for making an excellent product!

I have a 20 year old cat that had become very picky with his food. He was also having problems having a stool. He had lost three pounds over three months and we thought we were about to lose him. I stopped by the local pet store where I had always purchased his food and food for our dogs. They told me about your food. We started changing his food very slowly so as not to upset his system even more. That was two months ago and now his diet consists totally of Earthborn Harbor Harvest and Chicken Cattciatori (these are his favorites) He has gained back about one pound.

He is obsessed with his new food and eating. He will clean up one plate and wants another immediately.

My best friend Millie, a 2 year old bassett, was the runt of the litter and was lucky to have survived. She experienced a horrible case of colitis. I rushed her to the vet since she was passing blood. After that incident we changed foods. I tried several brands and her symptoms never got better. I then found your food at a local pet food store. Thanks to your food and commitment to a healthy diet for our furry friends she is healthy now. We've had no problems with her colitis ever since feeding her Earthborn Holistic. I personally wanted to thank your company for possibly saving my dogs life or at least improving her life.

Hi! I just wanted to say that I am loyal customer and I think your products are AMAZING! I do rescues and help stray cats pretty often so it's not unusual for me to have up to 9 cats in my home. They ALL eat your products! I just wanted to let you know how much I love your brand.

Hello all at Earthborn!

MAS Rescue (Maryland Animal Sanctuary Rescue) loves your products! On top of that, we love that part of your mission includes taking care of our planet. Pets can lead to a bigger carbon footprint, so we should do as much as we can to prevent that (like feeding them natural food, using biodegradable litter, etc.), and also do what we can to counteract it! Awesome!

Just thought I would drop you a note to let you know that my cats LOVE your canned cat food. About 4 months ago, my 17 year old cat started having trouble holding down her food. I was advised to try Earthborn Holistic as well as a few other high-quality cat foods by my local vet. Long story short, I tried a bunch of different brands of these high-quality cat foods and Earthborn won hands down! Not only are your canned cat foods my cat's favorite for taste, by my 17 year old no longer has issues with vomiting and has actually put a little weight on her old, tiny frame. l cannot express how grateful I am for Earthborn Holistic!!!

Thank you for providing chicken-free alternatives! After trying a variety of other holistic LID brands, your Catalina Catch, Monterey Medley and Harbor Harvest canned wet food receives the highest compliment from our 9-your-old cats. Their plates are licked clean! They have never ever done that before. Keep up the good work.

My name is Kathie and I have a boxer named Isabelle. We got her as a puppy 2 1/2 years ago and once she was taken off her puppy formula we tried 4+ different dog food brands to find something that "agreed" with her. We tried different leading grain-free brands and then we found Earthborn Primitive Natural. We love it, she loves it and has been on it for over 18 months which is a major accomplishment for Isabelle. We will keep her on Earthborn as long as it agrees with her and as long as she likes it! Thank you!

Just wanted to drop a line and compliment you on your great feline products. I entered Monster Pets in Audubon, NJ, the week of Christmas with a problem with my 8 year old short hair. He had been eating grain-free food for ever two years. He developed an ear infection in November that required surgery to clean out his ear. He was then on an 8 week antibiotic regimen. Five weeks in, he stopped eating and I found he was having stomach issues from the antibiotic. After two days in the hospital I brought him home and he was eating the leading brand pushed by most vets. For whatever reason, when I tried to give him his grain-free he walked away. Not being happy with the brand he was eating I was searching the aisles in the store for an alternative. I was approached by a woman who asked if she could help me. I knew she wasn't a store employee. I explained the problem and she spent some time with me explaining your products. I bought a small bag of the regular and the grain-free to give them a try. My cat went crazy for both of them as I mixed them together with a tiny amount of the hospital food. I've got to be very honest when I say he grazed and rarely finished 3/4 of a cup in a day of his OLD food. I now have an empty bowl in the a.m. and a real excitement while I am refilling his bowl. THANKS.

Hi, my name is Dustin N., founder of Erie Bay Bullies, located in Sandusky, Ohio. I am a breeder and showman of very high quality American Bullies. I am a very reputable breeder and attend shows all across the country. About 6 months ago, I was approached by a representative of your company while in my local feed store. After a long discussion with her about ingredients and production of your product, I decided to give your food a shot. I have been using Earthborn ever since. I've found it works very well for sustaining weight and proper nutrition. I am constantly asked what I feed my dogs due to their muscular stature and appearance. Even though most of these characteristics are genetic, it takes a good quality feed to get your dogs to their full potential. Great product.

Our dogs love Earthborn Holistic. There is much dancing and rejoicing at meal times, no small feat with four dogs ranging n size from 45 - 85 pounds! (Not to mention a small but determined cat muscling his way in for a munch himself daring the Shepherd-Doberman to stop him!)

I just wanted to send you a note to let you know just how terrific your cat food is. I have a 13 year old cat that, for the last 3 years, suffered with an allergy that even the vet could not figure out. We tried flea medicine (although we knew it wasn't fleas, she never goes outside) and many, many different brands and types of food. I even bought a water filter just in case it was something in our water. A couple of months ago, she developed a horrible abscess from where she had scratched herself and the vet said to try freezing her food for 24 hours before giving it to her to kill any grain mites. Maybe that was the cause. It that didn't work, our only other option was allergy testing. I went to our local Feeder's Supply store a couple of weeks later and was looking for grain free food, thinking that might help. There was a gentleman standing there in front of the display writing on a clipboard. I assumed he worked there and he asked if he could help me. I explained my cat's problem and how frustrated I was and it turned out he was a sales rep for your company. He suggested the Earthborn Holistic Grain Free and I bought a bag of the Wild Sea Catch. Oh my gosh, you should see the difference in my cat. The scratching has stopped. She is actually playing again. She chases my other cat all around the house. Her ears are soft again instead of hard and crusty. I am not finding chunks of hair everywhere like before. She still obsessively grooms, causing bald patches, put I hope that will stop after a while and the hair will grow back. My daughter is a dog groomer and she had a customer come in a couple of weeks ago with a similar problem with his dog. She told him about our food line and he said he was going to give it a try too. I cannot thank you enough Missy, my cat, and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Hello! I just wanted to say that Earthborn Holistic Primitive Natural dry dog food is amazing! My dog loves it; it's exactly what he needs. And the quality is right up there with the absolute best other brands! All of this on top of an unbeatable price just made Earthborn a standard in my home. In addition, the fact that Earthborn is environmentally conscious makes it that much above the rest. Don't lose those great qualities!

A few weeks ago I went to Pet Supplies Plus on San Pedro in San Antonio. I walked in with a big ordeal, 6 dogs with 6 different allergies. I had tried every brand on the market that was holistic and grain free except Earthborn Holistic. When I walked into the store a very nice lady wearing an Earthborn apron asked if she could help me. I told her that would probably be impossible, then she told me about your brand. She took the time to listen to the problem with each dog and described how your product could help. Well that was 6 weeks ago and I want to report that all allergies are gone in all the dogs!!! I am sending you this email because I am totally amazed. The lady who helped me to be a loyal customer of your product was named Pam. Her advice paid off and my dogs are for once in their lives - truly happy! Thanks for your great product.

Hello! My name is Aimee N. and I have been feeding your grain free foods to my Border Collie and Shetland Sheepdog show dogs. I'm so happy with the coat, body and energy they have. I put my very skinny 20 month old Shetland Sheepdog boy that I couldn't seem to get weight on on your food and he's finally gaining some weight. I use all 3 grain-free varieties mixed together and the dogs LOVE dinner time I've also got a little kitten and she's on your dry and canned grain-free cat food and she's sold on it too! Thank you very much for such a wonderful product!

My pup gets Earthborn out of the food pantry begging for food.

I recently visited the grand opening of Pet Supplies Plus in Clearwater, FL. At the event I was given two sample bags of your product. Apparently my foster pup loved it, because he couldn't help himself. He got it out of the food closet and carried it around the house until I finally gave him some. Couldn't help but snap a few photos of him first! A few nights later, he got the bag of Great Plains Feast and did the same! He loves all flavors! Thanks so much for such a great product!

For 20 years I have raised/shown/bred varying breeds of canines. FINALLY I have found the food that suits ALL the breeds I have come in contact with! Currently, I show Chihuahuas and French Bulldogs. Your product is amazing. Nothing short of perfect. Their coats, eyes, (former) allergies, and taste buds are all happy and healthy. Trust me. I have tried some of the BEST of the BEST ln dog foods. Some would work for a few of the "furkids," but then the others didn't like it or got stomach upsets, or their coats would begin to lack luster.
Earthborn has taken care of ALL of those former problems.
I will continue to recommend your pet products to ALL my dog show friends/breeders/handlers. Thank you for your time, and your great canine and feline foods.

I have a female Rottweiler that has had dry skin issues since I have had her. She is 22 months old and I purchased her when she was 18 months old. I have been at my wits end as what to do for her - my vet has just been saying that "Rottys have skin allergy problems." I had been feeding her another leading brand as I did my other dogs but it appeared not to be the right food for her. My pet store advised me to try Earthborn Holistic and a week ago I started her on your Grain-Free Primitive Natural. I am delighted to report that I can already see a change in her coat and skin and am absolutely thrilled with the results. She is a beautiful girl and it was terrible seeing her suffer with her skin issues.

I had been feeding my two cats Apollo and Anubus another leading grain-free cat food. Anubus has always been a fat cat. I saw some improvement in his weight when I switched to the grain-free food. I continued to use the product and Anubus put the weight back on. I believe that my animals should have access to food at all times. To make a long story short. I moved to an area that did not offer the grain-free food. I was forced to find a grain-free substitute. As fate would have it, there was an Earthborn rep in the pet store. She told me all about the company and showed me a few different flavors. It has been two months since I made the switch. Anubus has really slimmed down. He now looks years younger and has really become the active cat he used to be. I love the results I see and my cats love the food.

For a few months now I've been purchasing your Wild Sea Catch dry kibble as well as cases of your large cans of cat food for my senior tabby "Chloe" and my 2 Maine Coons "Frank" and "Beans." Chloe is diabetic and has done exceptionally well on her Earthborn diet. It's also the only wet food my cats will eat after it's been refrigerated. I simply love your product.Thanks.

For 7 years, I've had two dogs - one who would eat everything and one who could care less if he ever ate. Then last year, we acquired a miniature dachshund who was having some major skin and ear issues. After allergy testing him, we found out he was very allergic to just about everything in most dog foods such as poultry, corn, grains and potatoes to name a few. After trying different diets, we tried Earthborn Holistic Great Plains Feast. Within a month, his skin issues were almost resolved and the hair was growing back on his ears. After months and months of treating his condition (he was miserable), he was finally better and is doing wonderful! Also, since switching, our finicky eater eats very meal! He used to be an avid "once a day eater," if that, and we would often have to mix things with his food or hand feed him. Now, when it's dinner time, he loves to eat. And last but not least. We also acquired a 9 year old Greyhound who was very underweight (65 lbs.) and underwent a major surgery of having his leg amputated. He was very thin before surgery, so we knew it would be work to get him to gain weight after the surgery. It seemed like every food he was on prior to coming to us just couldn't get him to gain weight. After using a food that is very high in calories (used for working breeds), he finally started to gain some weight. Then we slowly switched him over to Earthborn and he continued to gain. Now, he is very happy at 83 lbs. and is staying steady! Not to mention, he LOVES this food. He was always trying to eat it out of our other dog's bowls! And because Greyhounds have naturally high metabolism, they need a quality diet. And because he continues to keep his weight healthy and even gain a little, I know that his food is quality stuff. Thank you SO much for making such a quality pet food. Seeing the physical changes in our pets is proof that what you feed your pet DOES COUNT! This food has helped us in so many ways, and having 4 dogs, we needed a simple solution such as Earthborn Holistic dog food. Also, we have since started collecting the UPCs to send in to help plant trees (we go through a lot of dog food). So again, many thanks!

I just wanted wanted to let you know that your dog food saved our dog's life. We have a red bone coon hound named Murphy. When Murphy turned a year old she got very ill. She was constantly throwing up and suffering from diarrhea. We took her to the vet and had every test known to man run - X-rays, blood work, ultra sounds, tests for parasites, urine samples, etc......they could not find anything wrong with her. Murphy was so sick - she went from 47 pounds to 36 pounds and nothing was helping her. She was skin and bones and could hardly stand. lFinally the vet suggested putting her down. We didn't want to do that, so we started researching different diets trying to get her to eat. We tried several different dog foods (all of which made her very sick) - and finally started making her food out of chicken breasts and oatmeal. She could keep that down and started putting on a bit of weight. That was getting expensive and was time consuming.

We then started researching dog foods and came across your website. We started with a small bag of the Primitive Natural and she kept it down. At first we thought it was a flute, but we kept feeding it to her and it still stayed down! Now, two months later, Murphy is up to 45 pounds, playing and full of life again! I can't explain how happy we are that she has gotten her spunk back. She's running and playing and is happy and healthy again.

So, I just wanted to take a minute and let you know that we appreciate your dog food. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I want to tell you that I love your food. My wife and I strongly believe quality food makes a huge difference in the quality of the dog's life. We used to feed (another leading brand) until we heard the company had been purchased by Proctor and Gamble. We have zero confidence that they will keep the formula the same, so we decided to try Earthborn Puppy Vantage. Ella is an 11 month old Pit Bull/German Shepherd mix that has never been healthier and her coat has never been more luxurious and soft. Tommy is a 10 year old Boxer/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix whose energy has never been higher and is eager for breakfast and dinner despite being an EXTREMELY picky eater. Thank you.

My Name is Markie R. and I'm a senior at Texas A & M majoring in Animal Science. My passion is dogs, especially canine nutrition, and am looking forward to graduating and hopefully working in the pet food industry. About 2 months ago I started feeding Earthborn Holistic Coastal Catch (switched from another Grain-Free brand) and we are loving it! My border collie refuses to eat most raw foods, so I'm so excited that I found a great food that does her just as good My bull terrier still gets raw most nights, but with the new food I'm seeing a BIG difference in coat and activity. Bull terriers can have issues with their skin and allergies, but we aren't seeing any of that here! Thanks.

Just wanted to thank you for the sample and quick response. I received the Primitive Feline formula a few days ago, and my cat (Merlin) likes it (and he's very picky about his dry food). Since starting him on the Earthborn wet food (about two months ago), I've noticed that Merlin's coat is shinier and softer. I'll definitely be recommending Earthborn Holistic to all my cat owner friends. Thanks again.

My name is Mike H. and I am a dog owner from Colorado. I was looking for a grain free dog food about a year ago and came across your food at Pets n Stuff in Littleton, CO. Your ingredient list was very impressive, so my wife and I decided that we wanted to try your food. The grain free recipe does an amazing job of providing my dogs with the protein and proper supplements to keep them going strong. Nutrition is a very important issue in our house because I compete with all my dogs in Frisbee competitions all over the country. Your food gives them all of the protein they need to stay healthy, lean, and keep up the amazing conditioning required for the competition months. My dog, MaggEY, just won the Colorado and Texas state championships as well as the UFO World Frisbee Dog Championships for 2011. She is eating nothing but Earthborn Holistic Natural grain-free formulas. I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that I think your food is an amazing product. Thank you so much such an awesome product and producing nothing but the best for our four-legged family members.

A few months ago I started my cat Peeps on your holistic wet and dry food. Initially there was a minor adjustment but overall during the past couple of months my cat has thrived unbelievably thanks to Earthborn. Her improvement is nothing less than phenomenal and my appreciation to you i overwhelming.

A friend's cat has also benefited and thrived from Earthborn and that cat was very close to being put down due to it's sickness. I sing your praises ever chance I get!

Janet K.

Hi, I am using your food with GREAT SUCCESS. I have a Standard Poodle who has horrible ears. She has been on so many different dog foods over the last 3 years. Now that she is on your grain-free gluten free food, both ears are now cleared up. I am soooo amazed! I have been a vet tech for 10 years and thought I would never win this battle, but I think we found a winner. Thanks so much. I also believe it's fantastic for Cockers who have a high incidence of food allergies. My one girl Selu look like a million bucks on this food!!! Thanks so much.

We have Basset Hounds and they are known for ear problems usually related to food allergies. We have tried the other natural foods but our dogs did not like the food after a period of time. Earthborn is different, they LOVE IT! They have more energy and are not pawing at their ears. I found out about your product at the Mountain State Fair in North Carolina and the rep was knowledgable about the food and gave us some samples and it was the best thing ever. Thank you a hundred times for such a great product and it is even made in America!

I have a 10 year old chocolate lab (Winston) and a new 10 week old black lab puppy (Bella). Since Winston's recent development of food allergies, we've found that Earthborn Holistic Coastal Catch is the only brand for him, and believe me when I tell you we've tried them all by now I think) that he can tolerate and doesn't lead to a bad case of skin dermatitis. That being said, if this a healthy choice for Miss Bella as well? Just want to ensure she's getting all the nutrients she needs as a puppy. She loves it.
In any case, I trust your brand and really appreciate that there are companies out there that appear to care for our pets almost as much as we do. It's comforting to know I don't have to analyze every word in the ingredient list and spend hours comparison shopping on which food contains the least amount of additives! Since discovering Earthborn Holistic, I have passed the good word along to many of my fellow dog advocates here in my community, so it appears to be quite the popular brand of choice around here....love it!

Hi. My name is Carol and I'm from Ohio. I just wanted to write and tell you how wonderful the Small Breed dog food is for my 2 chihuahuas, Chico (8) and Scrappy (2). They were picky eaters until I got them a sample size of your dog food for their stockings last year. Now, they won't touch anything else. They are happier and more energetic now and Scrappy's coat is shiny and pretty now. Thanks again for making such an amazing dog food. My 2 boys love it!

Hi, my name is Christine from New Jersey. I have (2) shih-tzus, 6 months and 3 yrs. and (2) german shepherds, 4 yrs. and 2 yrs. old.For years, my two shepherds suffered from digestive and IBS problems. My 6 month old shih-tzu has terrible allergies and suffers from a collapsed trachea. After trying countless high-end dog foods out there and not seeing a difference in their symptoms, I was told to switch to Earthborn Holistic.

Shiloh, Nahla, Buddy, and KoKo have been on Primitive Natural Grain-Free kibble now for two weeks, and I CAN NOT believe the difference I see in all four of them. My shepherd, Nahla, actually had her first solid stool in 2 years. Their coats are super shiny and my 6 month old shih-tzu, Koko isn't itching like crazy anymore and actually looks forward to eating a "grain-free" diet. I CAN NOT THANK YOUR COMPANY ENOUGH for making such a great quality dog food.

I just wanted to send you an email to let you know how grateful we are to have found your dog food. (And doubly happy to know you are in our Indiana neck of the woods!)

Last year we bought a large bag of dog food from a big box store. Within a week of feeding it to our 9 year old Newfie, he began to limp horribly. The vet said nothing was wrong. We fed him glucosamine and massaged his hip, but he continued to limp. I started to wonder about the timing; he began to limp a week after we bought the discount bag of food. We decided to experiment with a new food and roamed the dog food aisles at our local pet store, buying samples of things we thought looked good.

He loved the Earthborn Holistic Primitive Natural, so we switched. And within a week, his limp was gone and we have our ol' pup back again. We have a little French Bulldog that loves it too.

Thanks for making such a great food for our pups!

Our 11 year old rat terrier was really slowing down and his joints were really achy. After only 2 weeks on Earthborn Holistic, he was as full of energy and ornery as he was as a pup. Our other two dogs demanded to have his "special" food as well. They love it, and jump up and down to be fed. We are switching our cat as well. This is truly a miracle food. Thank you!

I am emailing to let you know I am extremely pleased with your line of cat food. I feed my cats the dry grain-free dry food and they absolutely love it! I am so glad I switched them to Earthborn when it came out because it has made a big difference. Thank you.

We have 2 boxers; we switched them over to Earthborn Holistic two weeks ago. They love it. By the second week, we noticed their coats were so much shinier and the texture is much better. We love your product. Keep up the great work.

It seems as though Earthborn Holistic Coastal Catch is the only brand of dog food that my Husky/German Shepherd/Lab mix is not allergic to. THANK GOD. Several hundreds of dollars later we finally found a food he can eat. And with him being 10 years old it was so difficult. Thanks.

I just want to take a moment and let you know that I have been raising Blue Heelers for awhile and I switched over from another leading brand to your brand when my female was getting close to her expected time to conceive. She ate Earthborn Holistic all thru her pregnancy and has had the best litter ever!!! The puppies had their check up at my vet and he was astonished at their health and weight. My puppies are now eating on their own (Earthborn) and are almost ready to go to their forever homes and will be sent home with your food as a samples. I can't tell you how much this food has made a difference in their stamina and coat and their overall health from eating this dog food.

Just a note to tell you my dogs are very happy with the Earthborn Great Plains Feast. I bought it at McGuckins in Boulder, Colorado. I will continue to purchase that food and will try the other formulas as well as the food for cats. I also look forward to trying the canned food.

Two of my dogs are extremely picky about their kibble. This is one of the very few that they will eagerly eat by itself. Nice job!

It has been about three months ago that I switched Argos, my finicky dog, to Earthborn and boy, we ain't looking back. He actually eats his food on his own, without anyone of us coaxing him.

I wanted to thank you very much for the sample you sent us because he wolfed it down when he was presented it and that was a huge signal for us. Now that he is done with the 14 lb. bag we bought back in June, we are going to try your grain-free Coastal Catch next.

You were right! He did go wild for the Primitive Natural.

My wife and I show and breed Newfoundlands. We currently have 1 male and 4 females. One of our females is the daughter of 2007 Westminster best in show Josh. Since we have discovered Earthborn Coastal Catch, that is all we feed, and will continue to feed. It is the top food for Newfs on the market in my opinion. Love your food.

I started my now 12 year old Shiba Inu on Earthborn Holistic food a year ago in July. My dog did not have problems with food or anything other than being a little finicky for the first 3 years that I had him. In 2002 I moved to a small rural community and starting the following summer around June, he developed an allergy to something outdoors. Every summer since, starting around June 1st all thru July, the poor animal was miserable, swollen eyes, sneezing, not playing, itching constantly to the point of his skin turning black and his toes swelling becoming very sore from biting. The first few years I tried Benedryl, then went to veterinarian prescriptions for allergies, pads to wipe his feet, vetericyn sprays, different shampoos, etc. Each year it got worse and worse. Last year he had a total of 3 shots, 1 every 2 weeks which would give him temporary short term relief but, the worst part was, he would drink lots and lots of water and pee a lot so I knew how hard this was on his kidneys and or liver and it scared me to put him through this.

A friend sent me a website that talked about and compared dog foods and told about the benefits of grain free dog food. I found a store that sold Earthborn and asked our vet if he thought it would help with both weight and allergies and maybe his excessive shedding. The vet said it might help but would take about 8 months to see any results.

At Christmas, my visiting children ALL suddenly noticed and commented on how soft my dog's hair was! My dog has always had somewhat coarse hair for a Shiba Inu. These are all people who don't pay much attention to my dog so I was surprised when they all commented on how soft he was. Then, about 3 weeks ago, it dawned on me when someone mentioned their allergies that my dog DID NOT HAVE ANY ALLERGY SYMPTOMS AT ALL THIS YEAR!!! Everyone else in the house with allergies did, just like clockwork, except for the dog!

I live in a rural area with lots of ragweed among other things.I believe your food has made a difference for my dog. Thank you so much! My dog is 12 this year, loves to play, and has had no miserable allergies or kidney-stopping shots and roll in joint pain. I am very happy that his health is soooo much better. What a blessing, Thank you.

I wanted to compliment you on your canned cat food. One of the rescue fosters at my house has been trying to recover from a bout of hepatic lipidosis, and it's very important that she eats, even if it means syringe feeding her. Earthborn Holistic's line of canned food has really helped her regain her health. It's both good for her and she readily eats it.

Thank you again from Denise and Asa!

Denise E.

My cat is in love!! I am totally amazed at the quality of the Earthborn canned cat food. I am concerned about feeding our cat as his twin passed away from kidney issues so I am constantly reading cat food labels and looking only for cat food which is wholesome and without added ingredients. When I stumbled across your brand at Theisen's and brought it home, our cat just went crazy!! We no longer have to worry about whether he will eat what we bring home or if he will get tired of it eventually. He likes the chunks of meat and also the amount of gravy inside each can. We call Earthborn "the good stuff" and Rocky dances around as we set down his bowl of food. He loves all four varieties and I make sure that I stock up so we don't run out. Thanks again for such a great product.

Hello. I am a new user of Earthborn Holistic Cat Food. I should say my 2 cats are users, and they absolutely LOVE the Chicken Catcciatori wet food! They have been using it for about a month now, and my female long hair cat has NOT had a hair ball since eating this food. I have tried a multitude of other brands, and they will not eat anything BUT your Earthborn. Thank you so much!

I wanted to let you know my dog Frank is a new admirer of your food. I have been purchasing another leading natural food for the past 5 years. However, I recently received a notice that the food I was purchasing for my dog isn't what they say it is. I was immediately annoyed and went to my pet food store and they gave me a few samples of food they recommend. Well, Frank loved yours best so I decided to read about the food and was impressed with your company. We purchased our first 28# bag a couple of days ago and Frank loves it.

Sue & Frank F.

Hello- I wanted to say thank you for such a great dog food. I have a 90 pound german shepherd that i just rescued and he won't eat anything but your dog food. When I got him he was beaten and abused and reluctant to eat at all. I have tried every single kind of food out there and he turns his nose up. I tried your food today and he ate the whole trial size bag and wanted more!

I recently bought Earthborn for my 2 greyhounds and German shepherd and I have to tell you that it was extremely well received by all 3 dogs, even my 'picky eater.' I was attracted to try it because of the great ingredients! Thanks for putting out a wonder, premium food.

I just wanted you to know that I love this dog food. I had a dog die from eating poisoned dog food a few years ago and switched to your Earthborn brand after that. I have 4 dogs and they just love it. My Liam loves it so much he sleeps on the bag and won't let any of the other dogs near it. He will drag the bag around the kitchen and walk on it till it's comfy and then takes a nap. It's the cutest thing; just thought I would share.

I just wanted to say thank you for your wonderful line of dog food. My one adopted pitbull was having some issues walking. We gave him prescription food from the vet even though we knew the ingredients were not great. We took the ingredient label to the pet store to compare after 2 months of eating this junk with little results. Your food was the only one that had the proper % of omega after an hour of searching. Titus is 7 and after 2 months of eating your Coastal Catch he is running, jumping and has a ton of energy again. We did not see this progress with the vet prescription food. Titus and I would like to thank you for creating this awesome line of food.

I have an 11 month old Staffordshire Bull Terrier pup. He has had horrible gas problems for the past 6 months. I've tried every holistic premium dog food money can buy. I had him on (another leading brand) which is supposed to be a great kibble but the gas problem still continued. I decided to take him to the vet for a check up to make sure he hadn't eaten something that couldn't upset his digestive system. The vet said he had no worms and that he was in good health. They gave me some pills to give him. After the pills were gone he still had the same problems. The vet also recommended that I feed him (another leading brand). I didn't want to feed him (that leading brand). I contacted the breeder whom I purchased the pup from to ask his advice. He told me to feed him Earthborn Holistic. Within a month of switching his food to your brand, his gas was gone. His coat looks better than ever and he loves the food. He even sheds less since I started him on your product. All this in just 1 month. Thank you for such a wonderful product! I will never feed him anything else but Earthborn Holistic!

Hi, I just wanted to shoot an email to you and thank you for making a dog food that my dogs actually like to eat! I have been feeding another leading grain-free, and they will eat it, but today I purchased one of your trail sizes and wow is all I can say! I have never seen them go for food like that before. I tried the Coastal Catch because it was grain free and they loved it I let them try it before mixing it in with the other food and they went nuts....thanks again for the food, I'm looking forward to switching their formula.

I just wanted to thank you for a great product. My English bulldog was suffering for over 8 months with bad allergies and had emergency shots for hives (over 100 on one leg). After switching to your product the hives are ALL gone. She used to look like a gun shot victim with blood all over her body from scratching. Thank you!!!!!!!

I thought you might like to know the changes I have noticed with Kujo while switching to your food. I have been adding 1 to 2 cups of the Earthborn Holistic Great Plains Feast in with his other food. Some german shepherds have sensitive stomachs and sometimes will have diarrhea for no reason at all. Kujo is one of them. But since adding this food in he has not (had stomach issues). His stools are smaller and always firm. He appears to be shedding less. He also loves the taste of it. Thanks.

I found a Jack Russell Terrier about 5 years ago. She is approximately 9 years old now. Ever since I first found her, her eyes have had a bulge from the sockets. This bulge miraculously disappeared soon after feeding her your dog food. They appear normal now.

Whatever is in your food has made a huge difference. She even acts differently now. Her eyes may have bothered her or maybe some other physical things were happening along with the bulging eyes that I was not aware of.

I tried to snap a picture of her to send you but she was gobbling down her food and I couldn't get her head up long enough to take it. Thanks. so much.

Doreen R.

I just wanted to say thank you for making such a great dog food. My pitbull has been eating the Great Plains Feast and she has never looked so good. Her coat is so shiny and soft as silk. Seems like she has also developed a few more muscles. I have fed my dog high quality name brands all her life, but none of those foods made my girl look as good as she does now eating Earthborn Holistic. Thank you so much.

I have recently switched over to your Earthborn Holistic Puppy Vantage brand of dog food and have noticed immediate results in the condition of my puppy's coat. I am happy with the product.

Brilliant, finally a worthwhile product!! My 10 month old Malamute "Ricochet" and his 7 week old Malamute girlfriend "Sako" show a noticeable interest in Primitive Natural and the Ocean Fusion. I am intending on staying with this food as long as you make it! Thanks.

Paul B.

I love your cat food. I used (another leading brand) before and it was so expensive. You guys offer the same ingredients for a much lower price. It's awesome! One of my cats with food allergies has been doing amazing since I switched to your food, and they love the taste! Thanks so much.

Laura S.

Thank you for your excellent cat foods. We have had cats for years and have two beautiful Abyssinians now. I did not believe there was such a thing as a finicky cat until we got our second Aby. Earthborn has changed our lives! Chicken Catcciatori night means clean plate club night around here. All four flavors are accepted with enthusiasm and we often mix your grain-free dry kibble with the canned food. Both the wet and dry foods provide the best nutrition for both of our fur kids.

Let me start by saying that I love your product. I recently heard about it when visiting a pet store called "Paws & Claws" in Sydney, Australia. The owner had nothing but praise about your product and even had switched his own dogs over to it. I'm the proud owner of a 14 week old red toy poodle named Elmo and feed him Earthborn Holistic Puppy Vantage. When my vet asked me what food I was feeding Elmo, I told her Earthborn Holistic. I explained to her that I had done my research and believed I had chosen the best dog food. Long story short, both Elmo and I are very satisfied with Earthborn Holistic.

I just wanted to say thanks. I have a cat with allergies so we tried the grain-free fish (Wild Sea Catch) and so far so good. Her coat is silky smooth and no allergic reaction! She loves the taste. Thanks.

Just want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for being a spectacular company and having such an awesome product for cats. One week ago I purchased ten of the large grain free bags at Malabar Feed in Malabar, Florida. I had previously purchased two other bags several days before. I gave one to a friend who cannot believe the wonderful results in just 48 hours. I have 12 cats of my own and do take in fosters in our area. Earthborn cat food is doing wonderful for my cats of all ages. I was previously using another grain-free food but your product moves to the head of the class.

Just wanted to let you folks know that I have 3 labs, all field dogs, 2 of which are on the Great Plains Feast and one older guy who is on the Adult Vantage. All 3 of my dogs are doing excellent on this food. Just had them to my vet for their annual exams and he gave them a glowing report on their health. He asked what I was feeding and I told him it was Earthborn Holistic and they've been on it for the past 6 months. Their coats so so shiny, their vitality has definitely improved including my 12 year old boy and their stools are half the size they were before I put them on Earthborn. For the 2 younger dogs, their stamina has definitely increased. So kudos to you folks for making a truly EXCELLENT dog food that in all ways helps to improve the health of my dogs inside and outside their bodies.

A few weeks ago I met a demonstrator for your food in a pet store. I thought I would try it, because I have an elderly cat, who is around 18 and her stomach was growling most of the time. I had been feeding her commercial food, most of which I was throwing out because she never ate it. I bought a few small cans of your wet food. She ate your food as if she had never eaten before. She ate one can of chicken and wanted more, which I gave her and she ate. She has become a more loving cat since we have changed to your food. Thanks, and keep up the good work.

About a year ago we took our 8 month old lab/pit bull mix Cali to the vet because she had a seizure. She stayed the night at the vet for observation but they were only able to tell us she is epileptic. Epilepsy turns out to be the scientific term for "we don't know why you have seizures, but you do."

So, we brought Cali home with some medication hoping we would never have to witness another one of those horrible seizures. But, we ended up witnessing one or two almost every day after. Not only were Cali's seizures grand mal but they were so frequent that sometimes she wouldn't recover from the first before she had the second. I found out later that these are called cluster seizures and can be extremely harmful. Watching your dog's body convulse while they foam out of the mouth and urinate all over themselves (sometimes losing their bowels as well) is scary and stressful all at the same time. So began our seizure routine...

Kenneling Cali wasn't an option because it proved to be harmful while she was unaware of her surrounding in a seizure. Every time she would have one, I made sure I handled the diaper she needed while my husband tried to talk her out of it. This became our routine every night between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. and we have been living like this since.

Recently, the cluster seizures seemed to be taking their toll on Cali. They would make her eye sight go away for a few days and it was hard for her to recognize us. She seemed to not know who we were sometimes and it was heart breaking to watch her run away from us like we were strangers.

I was angry and heart broken not only about where we were but where we would be in a year or two. I began feeling like I couldn't help her.

Then one day about a month ago I was on my way home from work and I stopped at a pet store I haver been in before. I purchased a bag of Earthborn Holistic Adult Vantage never imagining what could have happened next.

Since Cali started on the food, her seizures are about once every three weeks. I first noticed when it had been four days since her last one. I instantly racked my brain for possible reasons why. The only change in her lifestyle at that time was her food. So I tested it. I fed her another dog food for a week and watched her seizures come back full force, but when I switched back to Earthborn, they ceased.

Earthborn Holistic dog food has not only given my picky eaters food they enjoy, but it gave me back my puppy. She is how she used to be, before the seizures and we can't be more grateful!

I have just switched our newest family member, Otis (rescued terrier-corgi-ewok mix) to Earthborn puppy food and we will happily keep him on Earthborn into his later years. I have always been a firm believer in feeding high quality pet food to our pets (3 cats and a dog). Additionally, I am passionate about sustainability issues and this I was happy to see that Earthborn is made right here in Indiana! That solidified the switch for me. To top it off, your UPCs for Trees program is also a testament to the type of company you are and the kind of company I like to support.

I truly love Earthborn Primitive Natural dog food!! I rescue a lot of dogs and at this time I am feeding 11 dogs with this food. I have 3 Chihuahuas, 1 Papillon, 1 Italian Greyhound Mix, 1 Lab mix, 1 American Bulldog and 4 Pitbulls. My first pitbull, Walter, was a challenge. I rescued him in 11/2009; he had inconsistencies with his bowels. I began researching various dog foods and that is when I found Primitive Natural. Since then he has had no further problems. In August of 2010, I rescued a white pitbull. She had lesions on her face; we couldn't find out what was causing this problem. Within 2 months of starting her on Primitive, the lesions began to fade and were completely gone within 4 months. All of my dogs are happy, energetic and healthy with soft shiny coats. Thanks to this great dog food, I don't have a dog with any allergy or skin issues and never had a dog with so much as a cold. Thanks again for Earthborn Holistic Primitive Natural; it is the best!

I have been meaning to write to your company for a while now. We have a 4 year old golden retriever. Ever since we got her (as a puppy) she has had terrible dander problems. Her skin would flake off and you could see flakes of skin all over in her fur. About eighteen months ago, I decided to switch her to a grain-free food to see if her skin condition would improve. We started her on Earthborn Primitive at that time. Within three months, the dandruff completely disappeared. She has a beautiful, shiny coat now. Thank you for making a great product for dogs. I have recommended your brand to many people.

In our 16 years of rescuing Beagles and Coonhounds we have tried a large variety of foods...probably more than a hundred brands. We typically have 4-6 dogs here with us (plus the rescue dogs throughout the foster home system) and finding a food that all of the dogs will eat and have no issues with has been an ongoing challenge. In our own home we have a Bluetick Coonhound with allergies, an English Coonhound who has some intolerance to protein levels and a Beagle with whom we struggle controlling her weight. In the past we were forced to feed separate foods. Add in the rescue dogs and feeding time has been a bit like a poorly controlled science experiment.
We switched to Earthborn approximately 3 months ago. For the first time we have a food that we can feed to all of our dogs as well as distribute to our foster homes.
Our dogs love it, we love it...we have FOUND A WINNER!

I just wanted to say that I am glad that I found a food that all my dogs can eat. I feed the Ocean Fusion to my dogs. We have Chihuahuas all the way up to a Shepherd Mix who has a sensitive stomach. I work at a pet store in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and I recommend Earthborn Holistic at least 5 times a day to customers. You have done a wonderful job with the food, the company and also the reps for the company. The reps that come to our store are awesome; they know their stuff and are so helpful to employees as well as customers. I can't wait until the cat food comes out because I am switching my cats over to Earthborn since my dogs are doing so well on it. Thanks again for doing an Awesome job!

Just passing this along. My lab had pups...They will be 8 weeks old on Monday. Her last litter we had her on another leading brand. When her pups were 8 weeks old she looked BAD. She lost most of her coat. I didn't even want people to see her she looked so bad. This time on the Earthborn Holistic Primitive Natural you can hardly tell she had pups. She is in great shape and her coat is beautiful. I put this all on the dog food. Just thought I'd pass this along.

“I am a new customer of Earthborn, there was a person in my feed store selling your product. After some initial research I decided to try the small breed food as I now have two small dogs. I must say I and they both like it and it has cut the amount they were pooping in half! I have tried quite a few high end dog foods but your small breed seems to work best for them.

I also liked the plant a tree idea. Today I had some time to go to your website to research now that I have a few UPC codes collected. I also wanted to mention that I love the bags the dog food comes in. I buy the 14lb bag and that zip top works wonderfully, never breaks and zips up nice and tight.

Again I am both pleased with the packaging and the contents! These are my first small breed dogs (always had big dogs)and I am glad that I found a reasonably priced well made food for them.”

"I just wanted to tell you how much I love your grain-free food!

As a dog caregiver, I want my dogs to have the best dry dog food available - without breaking the bank.

As a dog trainer, I am constantly asked by my clients for recommendations on a quality and affordable dog food. So many of them shop at the warehouse stores and bring home huge bags of food full of corn, wheat, soy, BHT, BHA, Ethyoxquin, chicken parts, cellulose fillers. Or their veterinarians recommend brands that have the same "junk" in them. And they wonder why their dogs have behavior issues! There is little to no understanding about the link between nutrition and behavior. I feel comfortable recommending any of the foods in the Earthborn line, and even use the grain-free as rewards when I'm training. I know your grain-free food is safe for ALL dogs I'm working with, no matter their nutritional issues and needs." Thank you!

"Hello my name is and I have 2 dogs, 3 cats, 2 rabbits, 2 birds, fish,1 rat, 2 chickens, alot of pets but they are all family and very much spoiled. What I am writing you about is your Primitive Natural dog food. I just switch from Evo to your dog food. Our one dog -grunt- has a lot of food allergies mostly grain and Evo was great for him but little too pricey. Don't get me wrong, I would pay what ever price I have to for him to not have any other health problems but I came across your grain free food a couple of months ago and I started him on it slowly mixing it with Evo. Now he is on just your Primitive Natural. He has been doing really good on it so far. I think this will work out, just don't change it like some other foods out there did. I just wanted to let you know h ow well we like your food. Thank you."

"We’ve had our sweet "Minit", our medium/large mixed breed dog, for 5 years, (actual age unknown), maybe as old as 8. For 4 1/2 yrs. from when we first got her till about 3 months ago… she had been scratching. Mostly with no noticeable skin or hair afflictions. After years of trying every other dog food, shampoos, snake oils, magic remedies, medications including veterinarian products… Vet consultations… tons of money… never a change. Sometimes things got worse and her skin and hair would become a mess… skin flaking or with hot spots and scabs, hair falling out… and of course… scratching… obsessive constant scratching. We felt so bad for her.

We were persistant and I strongly believed, due to an experience with a previous dog in my history… that it was a food related dilemma… I also considered some genetic anomaly may be at the cause… but wasn’t ready to accept that without trying every quality natural dog food on the market and, maybe, as a last resort, some home recipes.

Food trials take time. Sometimes there’s an immediate bad result and you can eliminate the product right away. Sometimes there is no effect but you feel obliged to give the product a reasonable amount of time and a chance to work… I would allow for up to 6 to 8 weeks depending on the product and it’s reviews, other factors etc…

We finally came along to Earthborn and we were pretty confident that the fish based type dog foods were the way to go. We purchased the Ocean Fusion for testing. It took a little while to kick in completely. She responded very well after about a month… no scratching for about 2 1/2 weeks… then scratching again for about 2 1/2 weeks…

…then It Ended! No More Scratching !!! …and what soon devloped… the most beautiful silky, thick, blue-black coat ever… not a single flake… no real shedding… never close to even a brush full of hair… she rarely needs a bath! It’s like she’s Self-Cleaning or Teflon!

She’s never been so Beautiful… she’s happier, more energetic, more playful… seeing her blissfully running around, free, all happy faced with tongue flapping in the breeze… which is really her usual self… but now more so… and she’s not having to sop her fun activities for a sit and scratch session… It’s a True Joy to behold… it warms my heart so greatly just to think and write about it.

…and for my wife and I, to not be woken up at night by her incessant scratching… that too is a joy!”

I can’t thank Earthborn
enough… and I pray they don’t ever change their recipe… whatever you’re doing Earhborn… please keep on doing it… please!"

"I just wanted to let you know that I am very pleased with your dog food! My dogs mean the world to me and I have been having a hard time finding a food that they enjoy, that is also good for them. I have another brand for years now, but my latest Boxer was having some digestive issues on it, so I began searching for a more holistic style food with better digestibility. Since switching from the other brand, I have tried several other grain-free high end dog foods. Then I found your website and saw that Agway carried it, so I gave it a try. I have used the Primitive Natural on my young show bitch, who is picky and hard to keep weight on and am also using the whitefish formula with her and my other two dogs. They really seem to enjoy this food and it is agreeing with their digestive systems wonderfully! My show bitch isn't really gaining weight yet, but she is staying more consistent. She is a young Boxer, so I don't expect her to gain weight over night, being she is very active. Thanks again for making a great dog food, that I feel comfortable feeding my beloved dogs!"

"My three Labs love your Ocean Fusion. For example … One Lab … Kota … who has a skin allergy isn’t constantly biting and licking his paws since we started using your "Ocean Fusion" food. He still bites and licks his paws but usually just to clean … so the food works well from that standpoint. A vast improvement in quality over the grocery store brands … but more expensive."

"THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! for creating new Primitive Natural. I can't tell you how happy I am to hear that I will soon have more grain-free choices. I will let the folks at Pet Flow .com know as well so they can be on the lookout to order it. I like to keep my dog food suppliers up on the latest news so I, as a consumer, can always get my favorite products where I shop most. I am getting the best of condition with the chicken formula and know that the new ones will perform as I expect, too. I can't wait. Thanks."

"I bought a large bag of Primitive Natural<sub>™</sub> yesterday. My German Shepherd Dog is very fussy and has been turning her nose up at most of the premium 'ancestral' or holistic brands we have tried. I can't tell you how many brands we have been through only to have to give it or throw it away. She loves this new kibble."

"Finally, my Scottish deerhound is eating thanks to your Earthborn Holistic® Primitive NaturalTM. I’m convinced that she is gluten sensitive. After she lost five pounds of her very, naturally skinny body, I got worried. Blood tests yielded nothing. So I began the slow food test/switch/bate game. it apparently has ended with Earthborn. I bet when I take her in for her checkup in another ten days to weigh, she will have gained a couple of pounds. In addition to her two meals a day, she’s coming to me in the evening and staring at me very pointedly. When I get up, she does not move toward the door, she moves toward the utility room where I feed her. Another two scoops, down the hatch. Good girl. Good Earthborn."

"Our 6 month old puppy (she is a lab/spaniel mix) seemed to be a finicky eater. When I filled her bowl up with food, she would sniff it and walk away. I tried putting wet food in with the dry food, water or anything to get her to eat. I was trying many different brands and she would do the same thing every time I would put a new food in front of her. I was desperate to find a food she liked. I have access to a lot of different brands, but was getting worried that she would not like any foods Frontier carried. I decided to try the new Earthborn Holistic®. She loves the food; I think the kibble size has a lot to do with it too. After she eats the food, she sniffs around for more food, and sometimes barks for more. Tell your company that I said thank you for making a great product! I know you can sell this line with confidence that it is a superior food."

"I wanted to take a minute and let you know just how happy I am with Earthborn Holistic®. Guinness, our 2 1/2 year old black lab, has been eating it for about a month now. I’ve never seen him devour his food like he does now. His bad breath has disappeared, his coat has taken on a shine like never before, and he even sheds less. Thanks for creating such a wonderful product."

"Hi, we just purchased Ocean FusionTM for our dog who is a year old. She has been eating the cat’s food instead of her dry food & even canned DOG FOOD. So I started giving her table food, but she would still sneak and eat cat food. We went to the vet and the vet said it is very bad for dogs to eat cat food and she is 4 lbs. overweight. So one day we went to Petsense in Foley Tangier Mall, and I asked if they had any fish flavored food for dogs and they showed me your brand. I gave it a try, and guess what. My dog loves it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so happy knowing my dog is eating healthy now."

"Just switched to Earthborn Holistic® from another leading brand (despite being recommended and sold by my vet, I now know it is a low-grade product primarily of grain). Our 95 lb. Dalmation/Great Dane named Towdlie at 17 months had been experienceing runny stools with phlegm, more than occasional diarrhea (including three times in his kennel), and had been scratching and showing other signs of allergic response, as well as sometimes severe bloating. Earthborn Holistic® Primitive NaturalTM has appeared to solve all the above problems, has given him more energy, improved his coat and made him less irritable. Still in first week of using Earthborn Primitive, but stools are now firm with no noticeable objectionable smells (other foods produced odors of fermenting grain). Very pleased so far, particularly with the lack of grain in the product."

"Today I visited a new pet store, Corrado’s in Clifton, NJ. I spoke with a representative of your products and he explained your foods. I have a 14 lb. Lhasapoo and use Innova small bites that I mix with FreshPet food because he usually doesn’t eat just the dry food. He also doesn’t eat it all at one time - it takes hours for him to eat the whole bowl. To my surprise, when I served the Earthborn Holistic® Small Breed food he gobbled it down! Not only that, but we had my son’s Lhasapoo who would not eat for days and he also gobbled it down. I only bought a 1 lb. bag just to try it, but now I will need to buy the bigger package. It’s really great to have the $3 coupon on the package for a larger bag. Thank you for a very nice product that I feel is good for my little angel."

"I wanted to take a minute and thank you for your great product and more importantly the UPCs for Trees program. Our family has 2 Boxers that have food allergies. Our youngest Kahless is so bad that he has lost a lot of his fur. We have tried so many different foods for him. Yours has been the best. He has started to re-grow some of his hair!

When my 6-year-old Emma found out that we could send the UPCs from the bags in and your company would plant trees she was so EXCITED. She said Mommy they are doing something good for our dogs and something GREAT for our planet! She loves cutting out the UPCs and collecting them to mail in. We decided to send in 5 at a time. We just sent in our first 5 labels. Thanks again for a great product and program!"

"I am so happy with your Puppy Vantage that I had to write in and thank you. My dog was on Iams Puppy food for about a month when he started getting serious itching problems. He would gnaw on his hindquarters for 15-20 minutes at a time trying to relieve the itch. After a bath in oatmeal shampoo didn't help, I called the vet & they gave me Revolution to apply topically and suggested Benedryl 3 times a day. I had him on this for a couple weeks & the itching got a little better, but not much. Since I hated seeing him so uncomfortable & I didn't want him to be on drugs for the rest of his life, I decided to price shop some dog foods I had seen on an "A" list chart because I had heard stories about dogs having wheat allergies and such. While I was at Mounds in Fitchburg, WI on Saturday, your sales rep started up a conversation with me. When I realized she was an in-store rep and not an employee, I immediately went into my "ugh, here we go" mode because I hate the spiels I get from reps. However, by that point, she had already heard my problem & immediately showed me your product. I was surprised how easily she won me over. With the coupons she had, the price was too good to pass up trying a small bag, plus I was pleased to see that the actual price of the food was comparable to others I had been looking at. I gradually introduced it to my dog and by Monday, he was eating it 100%. I decided to stop the Benedryl to see what happened. By the end of the 2nd day he was already done itching & hasn't had any problems at all. Instead of itching, he now uses that energy to find things to tear up in my apartment :) He is a much happier puppy."

"First I must thank you for making such a fantastic product. I have 3 dogs (soon to be 4 with a puppy on the way) that absolutely DEVOUR your Primitive Natural food. And they are picky eaters! Excuse me...WERE!

Second, I must admit regretfully, that in the past few months, have I been doing my research on dog diets & food supplies. I have been so ignorant. I had no idea what I was pumping into them! I am a critical care nurse and over the years have come to appreciate the benefits a wholesome, raw food diet gives us humans, so I began my search, applying my focus on canines. Your product is spectacular! Better yet you are located right here in Indiana!! Finally, great quality...LOCALLY! You better believe I am promoting it amongst my pet-loving friends as well!"

"I happened to be in local Ace Hardware store and was glad to find your products...and our dogs devoured the 'Primitive Natural'.

We will continue to purchase it…now that we've found it! Thank you for making it available for our dogs!"

"Yes, the fact that the "old bat" will eat it [Primitive Natural] from start to finish means a lot in our books. She's turned down some good foods only to pick at them through out the night. Our youngest (2 years in may) Border Collie rolls after dinner if she really likes it. Rolls every time with your foods :)"

"I was in the pet store 3 weeks ago to purchase dog food. A very nice gentleman started telling me about your product. My dogs (3) have been on the same food all their lives. One dog had a skin problem and one had really bad breath. The gentleman told me your food would help both problems. I was nervous about changing. My dogs had no problems at all with the change no loose stools and they loved it. No more bad breath and no more constant itching. I have told several people to give your products a try."

"I just want to thank you for this wonderful product. My APBT, Kane, has many allergy problems. Since switching to Primitive Naturals, his skin looks better, and his eyes are brighter. We had tried some many dry foods that only led to him breaking out into hives. Keep it grain free!"

Robert W.

"I just want to say thank you for making the Primitive Natural line of food. My dog, Shakespeare, is a Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix that I adopted from a local shelter in October 2008. Since the first month I brought him home, he has had seizures on a monthly basis. I started him on the Primitive Natural in January of this year and he has not had a seizure since. He is now starting his fourth month of being seizure free. He used to constantly gnaw on his feet, back and everywhere else. Sometimes, he would have patches of fur missing or spots that would bleed. Since starting this food, he barely scratches and we have no more issues with his skin allergies. He is really thriving and I just want to say thank you! You have no idea what this food means to me."

"I just had to write you to say what a great product you have. My Basset mix, Baxter started developing some redness and bumps under his front legs and groin area. We made the trip to the vet and determined he had an allergy to something. I could not afford the 600.00 allergy tests so we started changing food. I bought everything from the pet store to the local health food store to department stores. I tried many grain free products, to all natural people food products. Then the women I got Baxter from told me she started her dog, from the same litter, on your Earthborn Holistic® Primitive Natural, and his rash cleared up. By now I had Baxter on prednisone and antibiotics because he had licked the areas so they were infected. I slowly switched him to the Earthborn Holistic® Primitive Natural about four weeks ago and his rash has also cleared up. I am not sure to this day what he was allergic too, but your food either has what he needs, or all other food I tried had something he could not have, but it is working. I just wanted to say thank you!! My dogs are my babies and to see one of them suffer was a horrible feeling. I swear by your product and have educated my vet for future patients that might also have allergies to food. Keep up the good work, and again thank you for working a miracle for Baxter. I have inserted a picture of my goofy baby."

"WOW!! My very picky 12-year-old Aussie Cattle dog chowed down on your Primitive Natural formula today. This is a dog that insists that her dry food has to have something added to it to for her to eat it. We bought the small bag just to "try it"; we're going back tomorrow to buy the big bag!!"

Cindi

“I am writing you from Arizona. I just wanted to let your company know that I LOVE your product. I adopted 3 dogs from the Humane Society and they each have picky eating habits and do not seem to like any dog food I had tried to give them. My one dog loves the soft dog food, while the other likes to play with their food while eating, then finally I tried your product from a local pet and feed store after going through at least 10 different dog food products and they each adore it! I even tried a mini taste test with another dog food and they pick your product! Just wanted to let you know that this is a fantastic product!! Thank you!”

"I have a 3 year old boxer that has the worst food allergies in the world. I have spent countless amounts of money on vets, tests, and a million different dog foods. We have tried every dog food on the market. I went into my local feed store Leos in Cedar Lake Indiana and talked to the owner and he highly recommended the ocean food. I gave it a try and the first time in 3 years Sadie is healthy she in not licking her paws as much and is back to her playful self again. You guys have given me my dog back and you have no idea how happy this has made me. Thank you guys so very much Sadie is back."
