Ember story
“Millie is 11 and the last time we switched her food was awhile ago. It took a month to get her right again. I was not in a hurry to switch again. Mixed it in slow at first, like they say, and kept waiting for trouble, and there were none. She just eats it. It's now been 2 months and zero issues.”

“I'm the guy who reads every label in the aisle. Ran out of things to object to on this one. Tucker's six weeks in and fine.”

“We're at agility trials most weekends and feeding on the road used to mean dragging a cooler around the whole trip. Now the bag rides in the truck and I get hot water from the hotel lobby. Scout could not care less where she is.”

“Tried raw for a month but the hassle of having to get the timing right with pulling it out to defrost was too much. This food sits right in the cabinet and our boy, Gus likes it more anyway.”

“Hank's stomach has run this house for 6 years. Foods either went straight through him or he quit eating them after a week. 2 months on Ember and he likes it and no issues.”

“Writing this because I went looking for a review like it two years ago and never found one. Bruno scratched constantly. Vet visits, the shampoos, the cone. Somewhere around week six my husband asked when the scratching had stopped and neither of us could say. I can't promise it was the food. Nothing else changed though.”

“Our groomer has done Winston since he was a puppy. Last month when we picked her up, she asked me what had changed. The food is the only different thing. I checked — same shampoo, same everything. Good stuff.”
