for Freshpet Dog food.... I am still in shock as to how this happened... A bit of backstory. I have an almost 14 year old cockerspaniel. We went on vacation and left her with our son in May..who fed her tablefood. When we returned from vacation she did not want to eat dog food and went on a hunger strike. She would go days without eating so we had no choice but to begin to feed her tablefood. Our vet checked her and said she was just stubborn but to feed her chicken and mix in dog food...she would not eat the chicken if we mixed in dog food. She was sleeping a lot more than usual, lethargic and had no energy. We were all preparing ourselves for the possibility that she did not have much time left. I walked around the pet store one day looking for pet food that was like people food and stumbled across Fresh pet in the refrigerated section. I bought a 1 lb roll cause honestly she was turning her nose up at everything we fed her so I did not have much hope for this. OMG...she inhaled it and started eating again....she lost weight (which she needed to) her coat was shiny, eyes bright and tons of energy. It was like she was rejuvenated. I was so pleased a wrote a letter to them so if there were others with older dogs doing something similar maybe they could use this information. Within minutes I received a note from the marketing department asking if we wanted to participate in a marketing campaign. We agreed and shot a commercial in New York on Saturday... Here are some pics of the shoot if you are interested.... Fresh PetThanks for reading through my story!

That's great! My dog eats Fresh Pet too. It's a great product. In talking with them on Saturday I was impressed with the fact that they donate food to lots of shelters...so no food is thrown away when it gets close to the expiration day. They have an employee whose full time job is to donate food to shelters...

When I click on the pics it takes me to facebook and I don't see any postings. Either way, that is very cool that you sent them a letter and even cooler that they acknowledged it and have used you and your dog in a commercial. That is the kind of company that I like to do business with. Congrats to you on having such a neat experience. Thanks for sharing it. P.S. I hope you got a life time supply of dog food.

Aww, what an adventure for you and your precious pup! I have such a weak spot for senior pets with their sweet gray muzzles. <3 I'm glad to hear she's well and look forward to seeing your completed commercial!

Awesome! My dog isn't given table food, but he has stolen it from unsuspecting folks and then gets weird about dog food for a bit.
We too may have to try it. Thanks for the link - what fun! You are a company's marketing departments dream!

How fantastic!!! I'm so glad you found something she'd eat and do well on! I'm so happy for you!
I lost a dog to kidney failure and the vet said he felt the eukanuba was partially to blame which I could not believe. Here I thought I was feeding them a good dog food. After a lot of research I switched them to Halo and just like you've described, the change was unbelievable. Sometimes I think it's just about finding the right food for your dogs.
Congratulations on the commercial and here's to many more years of great health to her!

What a fun adventure. This is the kind of commercial I like, real people with real stories. Not actors and stories you cannot believe.

That is just wicked cool! I have seen their food in our pet store but I've been reluctant to try it. I think I will give it a go because my guy, although only 1.5, is very picky about what he eats and lots of things upset his digestion. Right now we eat Halo dry and Wellness wet.
I can't wait to see your commercial and I have a huge soft spot for Cockers, I had one as a newlywed and he was truly the best dog.

Good things all around! Found a solution that helped turn things around for you baby and then got to shoot a commercial. So fun!

Congrats! When the time comes, unfortunately, that we're down to one dog (down from 3 to 2 right now), I plan to feed something like this. I can't afford to do it for both dogs right now (definitely couldn't afford it when we still had the Golden). I think it's the best kind of food for dogs, personally.
