Sadie actually has sort of a three part story. Part one began when I switched her to Thrive. At the time, I'd been making my own bones-and- raw-food dog food, so you wouldn't think Thrive would be much of a change. However, after Sadie was on Thrive for about a month, we met a friend in the park who we hadn't seen for quite a while, and the first words out of her mouth were, "Sadie looks TERRIFIC!! What have you been doing with her?" I told her about Victoria and Thrive, and not long thereafter, she started her own dog on Thrive.
This begins part two of the story. My friend's dog was an elderly Westie that she had adopted a couple of years before. In those pre- Thrive years, her dog always had to be carried up the stairs. But one day, a few weeks after transitioning the dog to Thrive, my friend was upstairs making the beds and suddenly heard the little tick-tick-tick of dog feet on the stairs. Sure enough--that 14-year-old dog had climbed the stairs for the first time!
Now for part three. There is a dog in the park that looks for all the world like Sadie--her owner and I acquired them both at almost exactly the same time from different SPCA groups in Connecticut. We're convinced they're sisters. We see them maybe once every year or two, but last time, the difference between Sadie and her "sister" was marked--"sis" was overweight. Her owner said she had a lot of skin problems and ear problems and wondered if (with similar DNA) Sadie also had those. Nope! Thrive makes a huge difference!
The only problem I can see is that I can never move from this area!
Thanks, Victoria!

This is Max, our ten year old weimaraner. After years of having weekly bouts with stomach issues that would literally paralyze him for an entire day due to gases that one could hear in his stomach, he no longer has this problem; the reason: Thrive Dog Food!!! My husband, who was a skeptic, can't believe the change. Max is thriving with Thrive, stomach issues are a thing of the past, and he is crazy for mealtime. We are so glad and relieved that not only is he loving this food, but he is also no longer experiencing the discomfort of digestive problems that plagued him for the past nine years. It is truly a miracle, I only wish I would have discovered this food and the wonderful care and advice I've received from Victoria. I would recommend Thrive to all dogs before they exhibit any health issues! I wouldn't have believed it had I not seen the transformation in Max with renewed energy and interest in mealtime. Max is a much happier dog and so are we!!! Thank you Victoria!
