“Lexi was diagnosed with irritable bowel disease and panceratitis. She was lethargc, vomiting and simply not herself. The diagnosing vet, Dr. Marlene Smith, suggested a raw diet for Lexi, since the switch to raw, Lexi is like a new cat! She has her energy back, is playful, her eyes are bright and the vomiting has stopped. I’m a convert ! Plus, I’m fostering kittens and I can’t keep them away from the raw food !”

“Hased had been diagnosed with diabeties and hyperthyroid. With a week of eating Buddies raw food, Hased had left behind all of her diabetic symptoms. She wasn’t meowing constantly and had stopped devouring food and water. She became satisfied with the yummy raw food and drinks a normal amount of water. Hased is also gaining weight again!”

“Theia started experiencing digestive problems at approximately 4 years of age. She would have intermittent episodes of ptylism (excessive salivation), vomiting, diarrhea, constiopation, gassiness, lethargy and upset stomach. We had many tests done in hopes to find diagnosis, but unfortunately the results were inconclusive. Theia also experienced Hot Spots and itchy, dry skin which led us to believe her problems were allergy related. After several trips to the vet and costly experimental diets such as “Urban Wolf” we decided to try Buddies Natural Pet Food.

We tried beef first and then chicken; both seemed to help, but not completely. Finally, we tried the Allergy Diet (Turkey & Taters) and never looked back. We were able to narrow down the foods that produce allergic reactions and Theia has never been better ! Since we switched to Buddies our Rottie hasn’t had any more digestive problems, her coat is shiny, and she has the energy of a 2 year old. Thank you Buddies for giving us our dog back.”

“I have two rescue dogs. One is two and the other is eleven. Not that you would be abe to tell their ages by looking at them as the eleven year old looks and acts like a puppy. And the two year old has a balanced energy level that lasts all day. Both of my dogs love food. My two year old was presented to me at the age of six months. He was eating puppy chow and was in poor health. I immediately switched him to a holistic dry food until he got tired of that, then I started to shop all at Buddies and began cooking some of their meats to spice it up a little. I later found out when you add cooked meat to kibble you unbalance the proteins. I eventually got the courage to try the “raw diet” and have never looked back again.

My dogs have never been healthier in their lives. They both have beautiful white clean teeth; that never need any dentistry work, shiny coats and healthy fit bodies. I never need to take them to the veterinarian and they are in perfect health. In the long run I save us alot of money by feeding them raw. I cannot imagine myself feeding anything but the best for my dogs. Thanks to Buddies I can provide them with it all.”

“We have been customers since Buddies inception. Our two labs aged ten and three have made exceptional health gains since switching to raw food. ‘Mocha’ our ten year old lab was told by our vet that she would need a $2,000 operation to heal her front right leg. But after we changed her diet,weight loss ensued and she now acts like a two year old. Our other lab competes in Hunt Tests and loves the food and her energy level has been amazing. We will never go back to dry kibble “!!

“Hi, I am Rosy! I am a ten year old Sharpe cross. I am a little dog, but I have been a big dog until a year ago. Lot’s of health problems. I was a regular vistior to the Veterinarian for skin problems, prednisone pills and antibiotics. Until, I met the girls at “Buddies Natural Pet Food”, from there on in being fed a wholesome diet which consists of raw food; I now have a tiny waist, tons of energy and tiny poops, no more allergies or pills. I am a happy heathy Sharpe with no more scratching and no one says that I stink anymore.”

“Recently, the “Paws Gang” ( 3 Swedish Vallhounds & 1 Balinese Cat ) started on raw buffalo. After 1 week their coats were gleaming (especially the black) and soft. Their energy level was extraordinary. Thank you Buddies” !

My four cats, Karma, Tweak, Gregory and Leemur have had various problems; 2 with long term urinary tract infections and one who was very nervous and territory marked EVERYWHERE, YUK! I have tried a lot of different things with temporary results at best. Three of the cats were close to being put to death something I would loath to do! Since switching to raw food the results are quite dramatic. At first they still reliieved in the house- but their coasts all became exceptionally soft and lusterous. I then noticed that i was no longer cleaning up “house” problems. I’m truly a “Born Again” convert; a much happier and saner household.

“I wanted to let you know that we have recently switched to Buddies from another raw diet. Our Kyra, a 6 year old golden retriever has done very well on it. She has even been less food driven after a meal, though with a Golden its hard to tell.
I really enjoy the people working at the store and their knowledge and positive attitude about a raw diet. It is refreshing to see that you are doing well and more and more owners are becoming aware of the benefits to a raw diet. Thank-you very much and Kyra thanks you too.”

Our 4 and 1/2 year old Boston Terrier, Buddy, has had GI and allergy problems his while life: flatulence, vomiting, loose stools. He had episodes of lethergy and what I thought was pain rather than depression. I have spent so much money trying every different food on the market with no success. After his last flair-up and $500 at the vet for tests that all came back normal,
I finally contacted my breeder who suggested I try him on the raw food diet. After much research I deciced to give it a try and I absolutely could not believe the dramatic improvement in just 24 hours!! He is energetic, happy, calm, contented and best of all, his stools are absolutely normal! Its like having a brand new dog. I only wish I had known about this sooner so Buddy wouldn’t have had to suffer through all my futile attempts to find the best commercially made dog food. What was I thinking?!
Dealing with Buddies Natural Pet Food has been a wonderful experience. Thanks for all your help in answering what must have seemed like a million silly questions! I am forever a fan! And our Buddy sends his thanks as well
