Dante

Dante / Dante came to us from the shelter with all kinds of anxiety issues and fear. His list of scary things to avoid included stairs, narrow hallways, children, mirrors, vacuum cleaners, printers, cars, cats, and hard floors. We tried all kinds of training, premium kibble and supplements to see it that would have an effect on his anxiety level. But his anxiety remained, his fur remained dull and full of dander, and his teeth were starting to show signs of tartar. I had heard from some rescue friends that a raw diet was the way to go, but I was intimidated by the work I would need to do to balance meat, organs, bones, omegas, and such, all while finding enough space in my freezer and wallet to make it work. I started researching alternatives to raw diets for dogs; enter, Honest Kitchen. It's been over six months since we've made the switch, but immediately after getting him on Thrive and Force, his fur is glossy and soft, I'm jealous of how white his teeth are, and most importantly, he is confident and happy! Our bond is strengthened because he knows when I am fixing his meal. Having him wait the 5 minutes for it to hydrate is the perfect way to to have him do tricks and work for his reward too. I am proud to say Dante is well adjusted, trusting, and healthy thanks to Thrive and Force.
