Our thanks to regular client Julia for sending the following update and photo which made us smile.

“I came down this morning to the usual wildly joyful greeting. While I was clearing up last night’s offerings, one puppy got a large clip off the bag of puppy food, and then this melée happened.  I thought you might be amused to see it.
Best wishes,

Julia”

I just wanted to take time to send you an email to let you know how impressed I am with your dog food. Our black lab Pippin is 4 and has always had a tummy issue, we tried absolutely everything. She looked in good condition, happy and fit but her tummy was obviously not right.

We then tried INVEST ‘N’ DIGEST SALMON

And my goodness WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Finally she has ‘normal’ stools, which are easy to pick up, and she’s happy and smiling and so am I! So Pippin and I wanted to thank you!                                          I sing your praises to everyone who will listen!

Penny

Thank you so much for the feedback Penny and for sending the lovely photo of Pippin.
