I am not to sure about this food because I dislike Menhaden Fish so much. But this is on their website and when I contacted them they were very fast in responding and were very forceful in them not using suppliers who preserve with ethoxyquin. I am not to hip on the use of Dried Tomato Pomace but it does seem like a pretty good dog food.
Does your food contain ethoxyquin?
No, Fromm Family Foods recipes do not contain ethoxyquin. All of our ingredients and final products are free from artificial and industrial preservatives. Additionally we pay more for our fish, whitefish, and salmon to not be treated or preserved with ethoxyquin
My dogs have been very picky eaters since day one. After trying many different types of dry dog food, Fromm’s Chicken A La Veg was the only one that they really liked. Not many stores near me carry it, so I make a special trip to get it for them. They have been very healthy and stay at a nice weight. They are no gassy and poop only 1x per day. I would highly recommend this food.
We have a german short haired pointer. She is extremely healthy now that we took her off Ekanuba and placed her on the Fromms Chicken and Veg. She used to have anal gland leakage, it is gone. She used to have dry skin, it is gone. Her teeth had tartar and now it is reduced significantly. She is fed twice a day for a total of 3 cups a day. Her coat glistens and she has not smell. There are quite a few good holistic foods these days, but for our girl, she is doing extremely well on the Fromms. We are very pleased with this product.
