Thanks! I sure hope we get better results! I actually went to a local pet food warehouse and went in to get Fromms Beef Fritta (sp?) anyways the worker had asked me what I was looking for and I had told her the food I wanted and she asked me what kind of dog I had and I said english bulldog so she proceeded to say that she would show me a suggested brand of food specially made for bulldogs - Royal Canin (sp again?) Bulldog - she had said it promotes healthy joints, wrinkles, less farting, ect. I stated that I would prefer to get Fromms as I have been doing quite some research on this and I don't have time to mess around with random brands of foods. She took me and showed me the Fromm's and I got a smaller bag, sense it is so expensive I figured I would see how Brynn does first before buying a big bag, but while I was looking at all the different flavors another lady came to pick up a bag and had said to me this was the best food she has ever fed her dogs and that I was making a good choice so I felt better about buying it plus all of you guys made it clear especially after reading the articles that this food is much better than Purina. Just goes to show though people we would think to know things about animals don't always know exactly what they are talking about.

One of my big favorites of the Fromm grain free line.... you can go between flavors if it works for your baby. I start Banks on Beef Frittatia, and have used Game Bird, nut she is now on Pork and Peas and doing the best she ever has

It doesn't bother him to switch up flavors? Or do you slowly introduce a new flavor to the old? What a good way to mix up things though :)

That is the awesome thing about the Fromm Grain free line... stay in that line and Beef for breakfast... Pork and Peas for dinner. BUT, do not do any of that till you get her all settled in to the new food for like 6 months. I feed Pork and Peas as meal, but the other flavors I use as treats (in the cookie jar)

That is awesome! I will keep in mind for after everything has settled down for awhile. I actually am impressed with the difference in smells between the Purina crap and Fromm - hope she likes it. I am sure she will - what bully doesn't like food? Lol.

LOL! Well I suppose some want to know just what their dog is eating and how it tastes! Just gave Brynn supper - 75% old crap. 25% new - without the added water and she ate it all up with no problems. :)

Remember that it can take up to a month for the old food stuffs to be out of her system.

I kind of figured it would - just like humans. But, it will take a bit to get fully switched over to all new food so I figured it would take awhile, but that is fine as long as she starts acting more like a dog than sleeping 12 hrs lol.

Sleeping is one of the things bullies do best. Some will sleep 16 hours a day. :)
