TruDog to the rescue!

When we noticed our German Shepard, Sammy, was losing weight, shedding, and was scratching excessively we knew something was up. Not too long after that she completely stopped eating. My husband and I both suspected it was her food but wasn’t sure. After doing some research of our own and consulting a vet we all came to the conclusion she had food allergies.

The months following we tried just about every popular brand out there claiming to be gluten free, grain free, and all natural but Sammy’s symptoms continued.

The Email That Changed Everything.

One morning I received an email asking if I would be interested in trying out a product from TruDog. One of the many perks of being a blogger is that I will get asked to try out different products from time to time in exchange for a blog post. With all that I was dealing with Sammy I was willing to try anything at that point!

Before I accept any offer like this I make sure that the products I blog about are quality ones and they must fit within my niche. When it comes to food or health products I am very particular about what I put in/on my body and those that I love. Including my fur babies. After viewing the TruDog website and reading how this company came into fruition, I knew I had to go for it!

Why is TruDog So Special?

TruDog makes no ordinary dog food. Their food is made from raw premium cuts of meat, fruits, and vegetables that are gently air- dried. This allows for a greater concentration of nutrients per cup of food which means you can feed less to your dog compared to other pet foods. Their dog food is also free from GMOs, fillers, by-products and grains. This was exactly what I had been looking for for Sammy! It is also the kind of product I would be honored to share with my readers if my dogs would go for it!

The Dog That Started A Movement…..

I was completely moved by Truman’s story, a 7 year old Great Dane who sadly lost his battle to cancer. I felt such a connection with the founder of TruDog Lori R. Taylor, that I actually broke into tears.

We both had lost someone near and dear to us from cancer. For Lori it was Truman. For me it was my mom and then my dog Riley. However different these tragedies were, we both felt led to create life long goals of wanting to educate others of healthier alternatives and the hidden costs of buying cheap over processed food.

The 3 Dirty Secrets You NEED to Hear About….

Every question I had about what I had been feeding our pets had been answered after watching Lori’s video “The Truth about Pet Food”. I also learned about the 3 dirty secrets that the top insiders in the pet industry do not want us to know about. I was disgusted but sadly not surprised. Everything I had suspected about cheap pet foods had been right. If you are a pet owner I HIGHLY suggest you listen to it for yourself. IT WILL SHOCK YOU! By becoming informed about what we are feeding our beloved pets we can not only add years to the lives of our furry friends but also give them a life full of quality.

Everything started to make sense to me now. It’s no wonder why we see dogs constantly scratching and chewing themselves, experiencing weight loss, hair loss, eating grass or in some cases their own poop (gross), excessive barking, butt scooting, and hot spots just to name a few. It’s their bodies way of letting us know that they are not getting the necessary nutrients they need through their diet.

Time for change…….

As soon as I received my box from TruDog I opened it up and was in complete shock by their generosity! I was amazed by the amount of goodies they had sent me! I could not wait for my fur babies to try them out either!

Sammy clearly could smell some goodness coming from that box because it wasn’t long after I had opened it that she had her nose inside.

I gave her one of the 100% all natural Chew Me – Oven Dried Braided Bully Sticks.

I barely had it out of it’s wrapper before she started slobbering all over it.

The moment of truth….

I followed the recommendations on the package and slowly added a little bit of the the raw dog food plus warm water to Sammy’s old kibble for one week to allow her digestion to adjust. Each day I would add a little more of the raw food and less of the old kibble. On the very first day she did something that she had never done before. She licked her bowl clean! By the end of the week I noticed she was scratching a lot less as well.

This is what the Dehydrated Raw Food looks like.

Since Sammy had been experiencing hair loss and itchy and dry skin, I was super excited to see a bag of Fortify Me, which is a daily digestive omega booster. Omega’s are also great for heart, brain, skin and hair health. I added this to all 4 of our dogs’ food and they too licked their bowls clean!

The Verdict Is In…..

It has been almost 2 weeks now since switching my dogs to a raw diet. I am truly amazed at the difference in all 4 of our dogs. Our 13 year old yorkie, Gizmo, had been losing his hair for awhile and his skin had become horribly inflamed. After feeding him the Omega booster and the raw food his skin is looking healthy again. Strangely enough he’s barking a lot less too!

Sammy, our German Shepard is no longer scratching. She’s become a lot more active and is putting weight back on. We can no longer see her ribs like before! The bald spot on her lower back from chewing is now starting to grow back!

What I love most about TrugDog…….

Since switching our dogs to TruDog I can’t imagine ever going back to regular kibble. Feeding time for our dogs is now a joyful one. To see them get so excited as I prepare their meal is proof enough for me. Finally, their dietary needs are being met!

I no longer have to worry about hidden harmful ingredients.TruDog guarantees that their products are free from:

• wheat
• artificial colors
• corn
• added salt
• antibiotics
• soy gluten
• artificial flavoring
• added sugar
• hormones

That makes loving it easy!!!

A Special Thank You.

A hearty thanks to every one at TruDog for giving me this opportunity. Your products have helped alleviate discomfort in all our pets. Their quality of life has also improved. Our fur family is forever grateful.

An even bigger thanks to Lori, the founder of TruDog. Thank you, for caring so much to create a movement so powerful that will not only help save the lives of millions of pets but will also allow many more years filled with unconditional love.
