We adopted our border collie Izzie over three years ago. She was an extremely finicky eater and we had to coax her to eat. We had to cajole, sing, beg, and tip toe around. She would often skip meals. We tried everything - home cooked meals, raw food, wet and dry organic packaged food...... And then about 6 months ago we discovered Natasha's Food for Paws. Izzie LOVED it. She now licks her lips as we are preparing her food and licks out her bowl just as enthusiastically as her food centered sister Molly. This makes breakfast and dinner a much more enjoyable family time all around. Thank you Natasha, for providing an excellent food for our beloved Izzie.
With love,
Linda, Windflower, Molly and Izzie

Our two dogs are super picky eaters and they LOVE your dog food. We love that the chicken is free range and free of antibiotics and hormones too. That was very important to us when selecting a dog food. We are vegetarians and hated the smell of canned dog food, but your dog food doesn't smell at all. We love that it is fresh and all natural too. Your dog food is the only food our dogs go absolutely crazy for.
Thank you!

Dear Natasha,
I just wanted to write in and tell you how much Daisy (Long Hair Chihuahua) and I love your product. Daisy was facing a bit of a weight problem and also having issues with itchy skin. We tried different foods and even incorporating vitamin e in her food. Her vet placed her on antihistamines then steroids and I had to figure out a better solution than drugging my baby. So after some research I found a holistic vet in Pacifica who suggested I home cook Daisy's meals. I thought there has to be an easier way so I went on a search to find a holistic healthy food. Luckily I didn't have to search too far and found your product in a San Francisco pet store. Daisy loves both the chicken and beef!! She lost a pound over a year and hasn't had any more skin troubles. My only complaint, I moved from SF to San Mateo 20 miles south and have to travel to SF in order to keep my fridge stocked with your product. While it's well worth the drive I hope that you will be able to extend your product down my way, there's a whole foods close by so let me know if you need a rep! Will work for dog food!! lol ;)
Many thanks!!

Natasha,
Thank you so much for giving me the sample food at the Wags and Whiskers party. I am the woman with the pug who said he got the "runs" from the food the first go-round. However, you gave me a whole package of the beef flavor and he ate it and I'm happy to say his "stool" has never looked better. I know this is an odd dialog to have but I wanted you to know that the food is great and it agrees with my pup just fine. I'm not sure what happened in the first go-round with the chicken flavor - it could have been a lot of different factors.
I wanted to say thank you for the food and we plan on using it daily.
Be well,
Michele & George

Sandy's Testimonial
Dear Natasha,
I am glad to hear that you are finally branching out and trying to
bring Natasha's Food for Paws to a much larger market. I am writing
this letter to share my experience with your product and to explain
why I love and use it.
About four years ago, I took my dog Casey to the veterinarian. I
found out she was deficient in vitamins, minerals and calcium. So, I
started working with my veterinarian to find a better diet. We sent
Casey's info to UC Davis for a nutritional consult which gave us a
clearer picture of Casey's deficiencies and gave her recommendations
for improving her diet. I tried Casey on raw food, but she is very
finicky and wouldn't eat it. Approximately a week later, Natasha
walked into my pet store with a cooked holistic dog food that seemed
to be what I was looking for. I told her that if Casey would eat it,
I would feed it to her. Casey loved it so, I started a feeding
trial. I fed it to her for 2 months then took her back to my
veterinarian. I am happy to say that after 2 months, my Casey was no
longer deficient in any of the previous categories. I am also happy
to say that I now have four lovely dogs and feed all of them
"Natasha's Food for Paws". I carry it in my store because it's a
product I personally use and believe in.
Sincerely,

I am the proud owner of two Terriers, "Buddy" and "Holly". While "Buddy" will eat practically anything, "Holly" has always been very finicky. She will let her food sit all day before she ever thinks about eating it.
Since I started feeding them "Natasha's Food for Paws", she now devours her food, sometimes finishing before Buddy! They both love the Chicken & Millet and the Beef & Oats.
It is exciting to find a product that they really enjoy, with the added benefit of all the natural and holistic nutrients.
I and my happy and healthy dogs thank you Natasha!

TO ALL DOG LOVERS!!!
I have a wonderful Cocker Spaniel named "Boo". He is a rescue dog with some issues regarding his skin, which is usually itchy and irritated. He is always groomed regularly and receives lots of love and many walks. I have been working with different types of quality food products which were either unsatisfying to my boy "Boo" or it ended up giving him unpleasant gaseousness.
Natasha's Food for Paws gave my boy "Boo" a new leash on his day and mine. His itchiness and dry skin issues have dramatically diminished as well as the unpleasant odor.
THANKS!!!
Boo
A HAPPY DOG

Dear Natasha,
Just a quick note to tell you how impressed and satisfied I am with your product Natasha's Food for Paws.
As the Program Director for The Children's Village, I bring my dog to work every day. Kobie-Dog, as a therapy dog here at The Children's Village, plays very closely with dozen' of children every day. The interaction between the children and Kobie is quite close.
The children here, as part of their healing, snuggle and play closely with Kobie on a daily basis. The children continue to marvel at how soft he is. They always ask me if I just bathed him. My answer is always the same, "haven't bathed him in months, I just mix Natasha's Food for Paws organic dog food with his daily lamb and rice kibble."
Volunteers and childcare workers also continue to rave in how soft his fur is so I have introduced your product to those with workers with dogs, especially those with therapy dogs.
Please keep up the great work in delivering a world class product for dogs who continue to bring love and healing into all of our lives.
Best regards,
Jackie L. Hardman

Two things, I wanted to let you know how much we love this food (my husband, myself and our pup). We have a very finicky Yorkie mix and have been home cooking for her for some time now due to a few health problems as well as how picky she has always been even with the best, high quality wet and dry foods. Recently we were visiting our local pet food supply, Holistic Hound in Berkeley and saw this food and thought we'd give it a try, not only because we spent so much time and money every week preparing our dogs food but also because we started to worry about the balance of vitamins and minerals in her diet, we used supplements and followed recipes but it was still hard to track. To our surprise she LOVED your food, we never have a problem getting her to eat like we used to, even when I home cooked for her she would refuse food regularly. We feel like we should stock up on Natasha's Food for Paws just in case you ever decide to stop making it. Which brings me to my next question, We are relocating from the East Bay back to the North Bay and are wondering where we can buy this great food. Or can we buy directly from you?
Thanks again,
Amber
