You said it was kind of expensive but it is actually no more expensive than the Hill's which I purchase from my vet and the ingredients were much better. I like the calorie content of Fromms also but actually Chicken Soup for the dog lovers soul was the best of the 4 (even better than Fromms) on the comparison wizard. I was not impressed with Hill's ingredients against the other foods or their calorie content. I am definitely going to change foods. Sassy has been on Hill's since I brought her home, but frankly she does not care for it now unless I add something to it, which now she is getting 1 tsp of either tuna, salmon, white meat canned chicken or boiled chicken with carrots and sometimes a tsp of cottage cheese which amazed me she liked it. I have even bought a juicer and made her ice cubes (to replace the ice pops she was getting last summer) with carrot juice, celery juice, veggie stock, chicken or beef broth and she loves them. I don't really understand but she loves celery but would not eat the celery juice cubes unless I add a little carrot or meat stock, maybe they are bitter. I watch the carrot juice cubes though as they are sweet.

Thanks for the tip on the food wizard I really appreciate it.

Oh Sassy is down another pound.

Way to go Barbara & Sassy! You are a very dedicated mom Barbara!
