A. We strongly believe that in some cases altering a dog's diet can cause profound affects in
his behaviour. There are several reasons why this can be so. One of the major food related causes of behaviour problems in
dogs, is being intolerant to one or several of the ingredients in the food. Sensitivity to diet can be seen in changes in
behaviour often paired with a wide range of skin and digestive problems. These behavioural effects can be seen as increased
levels of aggression, over-activity in the dog, eating of non-food items (especially fibrous objects such as wood, paper and
other plant materials), and sudden changes in the dog's moods. The intolerance can be related to the type of protein in the
diet, the presence of artificial colours and flavours and the use of chemical anti-oxidants and preservatives in the food.
Another
food related factor in behaviour problems could be too much protein in the diet. Many dog foods, especially dry foods, are
complete i.e. everything the dog needs nutritionally is included in the food. Adding lots of extras to the diet such as cooked
meat can increase the protein levels beyond what the dog actually needs and this often results in a more excitable dog.
A. We strongly recommend FROMM Family Nutritionals. Admittedly we are agents for Fromm, but we
could have picked any one of the vast ranges of dog foods to sell. We chose Fromm because it met ours, and our dogs' high
standards. Fromm is manufactured from the highest quality ingredients with no artificial preservatives, colours or flavours.
A. Our own dogs have been fed on Fromm for many years. We first came to feed Fromm to one of
our dogs that had a problem digesting his food. From then, having been impressed with the results, we have continued to feed
Fromm to all of our dogs and they have gone on to live long and healthy lives.
A. FROMM is a range of complete dog and cat foods manufactured in America. Dr. Willard Roberts,
Ph.D., a leading nutritionist, created the first generation of FROMM Family Nutritionals pet foods in 1948. Dr. Roberts is
recognized as the father of modern pet foods, having pioneered the process of producing the type of dry, granular food that's
so popular today.
Since then the Fromm Company has continued to improve upon each Fromm Nutritionals recipe. The result
is a concentrated, balanced blend of foods that results in easier digestion, fewer allergic reactions, and increased energy
for your dog or cat.
A. The major range from Fromm is the Gold Nutritionals. This range is free from any
artificial colours, flavours, anti-oxidants and preservatives.
Gold Nutritionals is a superior range of dry foods that are gluten free and
contain pre- and probiotics to increase friendly gut bacteria and therefore improve digestion, including: -
Puppy Gold - for puppies from weaning up to approximately one year old (depending on breed).
Puppy Gold also contains glucosamine hydrochloride and chrondroitin sulphate to help build healthy joints in the growing dog.
Adult Gold - a food for all adult dogs with average to high-energy requirements, designed
to take over from Puppy Gold.
Senior Gold - a food for older or over-weight dogs with lower energy requirements, also
contains glucosamine hydrochloride and chrondroitin sulphate to help protect aging joints and those under stress from excessive
weight.
