I'n really impressed with Fromm for being a standup, legitimate dog food manufacturer. I filled out an inquiry form on their website... and the companies nutritionist called me by phone. We spoke for about 40 minutes. This is what I learned, and I'd like to share it with you all...
-- The nutritionist HIGHLY discouraged me from feeding anything but the puppy formula before eight months of age. He was extremely passionate and matter of fact about this. Almost angry while still being nice and informative, lol. I loved him.
-- I made my concerns known about the puppy formula being a grain inclusive product... and he assured me that corn and wheat are the only grains I should be worried about at this stage.
-- he told me that a puppies body is like a baby learning to swing a bat, highly complex foods should not be introduced until their digestive system learns to handle them -- case being the 4 star food.
-- puppies should be exposed to a variety of protein sources... if they are not, problems may arise later in life when they are eventually exposed.
-- do not count on your puppy to have an allergy based on what other dogs may not tolerate via the internet. Every dog is different. (Learned this on frenchbulldognews.com, as many of you have said - whatever works for your dog, works! - thanks guys!)
-- he had no opposition to my decision to feed partial raw. He gave me the recommended feeding portions based on the percentage of raw I am feeding. As an employee of fromm... he was completely honest and his opinion about me feeding a different commercial brand of dog food as a portion of my dogs diet.
I am so impressed! He also told me to PLEASE call him back in a few weeks to let me know how Danté is doing. He was genuine and experienced... As he has been a dog nutritionist for 40 years. I encourage all members who feed Fromm to contact them with any questions no matter how small.
