Artemis Fresh Mix

[mrsgrumblebum]

Hi, I have tried a few brands of dry food and all my girl would do was maybe have a taste,sniff and walk away, and give me the look as if to say you want me to eat that.

Well after reading on here on DOL about the Artemis I thought I'd buy it to try, low and behold she eats it with gutso now and gets all excited and wiggles her cute lil butt and wags her tail,when she sees me getting the container out. Today is day 4 of her eating it.

Other brands I have tried were : Advance for puppies when we first bought her home, Eaglepack holistic , Nutro choice , Royal canin, and now the Artemis.

So to any other fussy fur kids out there give it a whirl.

You're lucky, I would have loved to have used it, but unfortunately it didn't suit my dogs at all.

Seems to suit my two so far...although we're on the grain free maximal. They eat it without any accompaniments

[Joypod]

Yep, my two love it also. They've never looked better either. Soft, silky coats, poo's firm enough to pick up (thank the LORD!) and they're both really happy too. I couldn't be more pleased.

Are we talking about the Adult Fresh Mix or the Grain Free Maximal Dog? I originally used the Adult Fresh Mix which contains grain and that's the one that caused loose poo and gas in my dogs. I've just bought a bag of the Grain Free and they had it last night, so far so good they haven't pooed yet but they don't have any gas which was immediately noticeable the next morning when I fed the food containing grain. Hopefully this one will work

Just bumping this topic.....I'm thinking of trying the Artemis Fresh Mix Adult for Ziggy. He's currently on EP Holistic and his poos are very soft. Every 2nd night he gets a frame and they firm up a treat. I can't feed him the grain free version as it's way too high in protein for him, otherwise I'd try it based on the opinions so far.

I'm also considering DVP organic.

Anyone have any success with their dogs?

Many thanks

I've been using the Artemis Fresh Mix for quite some time now and am very happy with it. I used EPH prior to that and was looking for something a little more economical when EP increased their prices. Was always happy with EP though - see no changes. The girls all have clear eyes, decent coats, lots of energy and small firm poo's!

Thanks goldielover for the feedback

I have also heard good reviews for it, one of my girls wont eat dry food and the other gets the runs with any dry food. I would have tried it out possibly, but i decided to go the natural way and give the raw diet. My 3yr old has been tried on several different brands, and currently she is eating half Bonnie Adult and half raw diet and her poo is considerably smaller and quite a bit harder than when completely on dry. I am leaving her on half of each just until we can wean her completely onto the raw diet and have finished the dry food.

Good luck with it, i am sure you'll be happy with it.

I think it's the tomato seeds that are toxic to dogs and, while I can't imagine raw potato being much good for dogs, cooked should be ok.

I managed to track down a small bag of Artemis Adult and fed half 'n' half last night. Today's "offerings" from Zig were much more compact so looking forward to when he's eating it all the time. Unfortunately, my local supplier also sells rabbits, guinea pigs etc and I was not impressed so will be buying it on line from now on. Fortunately I can get free delivery
