I thought you might be interested in seeing photos of one of our Eagle dogs. Britmor Bewitched, CD, JE, MX, MXJ, has been eating Eagle Original Adult since she was a puppy, and is still competing and WINNING in agility at the age of twelve years old. What makes this even more remarkable is that Witch had to have a femoral head and neck ostectomy because of a dislocated hip two and a half years ago. She has competed in the NADAC Championships the last two years, and last December she finished in 29th place (out of 134) in her height division at the AKC Agility Nationals.

I've written to you a couple of times about my experience switching my cats to Eagle Pack. All 6 of my cats are doing very well. Several were having problems with loose stools on (x) brand cat food, with my kitty Lennon suffering the worst. Rigby also had problems with vomiting certain cat foods. All of my cats are doing very well on Eagle Pack. They are all having solid stools, have had no vomiting with Eagle Pack, are energetic, and their fur has gotten very soft and glossy. My husband and I have also found Eagle Pack to be quite economical. The cats are actually eating less food than they used to, as they seem to stay full longer. As a result, the food lasts longer and we will have to replenish supplies less frequently. Needless to say, I'm an extremely satisfied customer. I'm so thankful for your excellent company.

I adopted a German Shepherd from a breeder who only used Eagle Pack. We were sent home with a trial size bag of puppy formula and also purchased a larger bag.

The breeder said at a certain age to go ahead and change to adult formula, which we did at the appropriate time. My dog started itching. I phoned the breeder and she said that it maybe the season or the shampoo I was using.

I changed to a shampoo from the vets. It seemed to help a bit the itching subsided for a moment then returned. My husband and I thought "maybe its nerves"

While I went to our usual pet supply store...I saw the Anchovy, Sardine and Salmon. I bought it. Oh my gosh what a difference it made, the itching has almost totally subsided. We believe that when she does it is nerves. It has changed our lives and our dogs.

On a 2nd note. When we adopted our dog, our older dog was 8. We had only fed him grocery store brand food his whole life. There were small dogs all about my floor (hair balls) and cloudy eyes almost blind. When we switched to the adult formula my older dog almost stopped shedding completely and his eyes cleared up.

I LOVE YOUR PRODUCT!!!!!!!!

We have a gal at our shop that is using the Eagle Pack Holistic Select on her RR. He has had tremendous problems keeping weight on, and also has had some severe anal problems... His weight is not a challenge anymore, she even has stopped cooking for him, and for the first time in his life has a wonderful coat.

What we have seen on our kids since we've switched is the visual reversal of graying on the masks of our dogs, it's amazing!

Just wanted to let you know how thrilled I am with the results of the Eagle with my boy "Thor". He was a rescue/return... He did not eat well, and never kept weight on. I tried (x) for a few months last summer, and he did better, but not great. But since switching to the Eagle in September, he looks, and moves, like a much younger dog, and is in absolute top condition.

The Eagle has improved his muscle tone, and his coat shines like he was dipped in lacquer. Well, almost all the time he was out rolling in frozen deer poop tonight...LOL. Skin turgur good, and no dryness. The best part is...he likes the food! He actually eats well, without me practically standing on my head to try to get him to eat, like before. You might like to know my vet, not having seen him since just before starting on Eagle, was stunned at his overall condition...

I am convinced the food will help me add years to the time I have my much loved Dane and his collie "brother".

To All My Fellow Mushers:

I am Martin Buser, a professional dog musher from Alaska. I have a kennel of about 90 dogs. I compete in the mid- and long distance race circuit. My final goal for each season is to compete in the worlds longest sled dog race, the Iditarod. With the help of “Eagle”, I was able to win “the Last Great Race” in 92, 94 and again in 1997 and 2002.*

You know, the two weeks that I feed dogs on the Iditarod are very important to me. However the fifty weeks getting ready for the event are even more crucial, especially when it comes to balanced nutrition! I only race dogs that have been raised on “Eagle” and the results speak for themselves. Besides my four Iditarod championships, my dogs have won numerous other races and currently hold the speed record for the fastest 300 miles ever raced.

One of my sayings is that “the dogs are only as good as their fuel is”. Our fuel certainly is made by the great team at Eagle Super Premium Pet Food. Only the best food fuels Champions, Eagle powers me to the head of the pack.

I am not a nutritionist, I am a musher. I let the professionals at Eagle formulate the food, so I can concentrate on training and getting ready for the races. Often I feed the team right out of the bag and I get more miles per bag with Eagle than any other brand.

If it weren’t for “Eagle”, the Iditarod would be a much longer race for me and my dogs.

I recommend “Eagle” to all mushers, this food has proven its worth many times during the long days and nights on the trail.

Good Luck and Happy Trails

“Since my dogs have been on Eagle products for several years, they are already in outstanding shape. I did, however, notice a difference in my older female after she had been switched to the new Eagle Senior with glucosamine. There is a significant difference in her ability to get up when lying down and her movement seems more fluid when she is outside running. I am very pleased with the product and recommend it every chance I get to people with older dogs.”

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Well, it's been 8 days since I have been giving my boy the double dose of enzymes, the yogurt and vitamin C. He has been on the Eagle Pack Natural since Friday and he is doing really well and seems to like it... I think that I would have lost my dog. He had gotten so bad that he could hardly stand and his coat which should be black and white had turned to a dull grayish brown. Every time you touched him, you would get a handful of hair. He had not used one back leg for so long that it had become atrophied to about 1/4 the size of the other leg. Well, now let me tell you, he has come back, and is happily on his way to being the healthy dog that always pestered me to throw him a ball or wanting out to play with the Lab. His coat has started to come back to a nice black shiny color and he no longer sheds when you pet him. He now uses his hind leg and it is getting the muscle tone back...

“My 14 year old mixed breed was looking as if he was on death’s doorstep. Linda Arndt told me I needed to change his diet from a grocery store brand senior food to Eagle Senior. I was told it would take about 6 weeks to see a difference in my animal. But only after one week of using the Eagle Senior, there was a big difference in our dog. I could not believe my eyes! What I had assumed was normal for a 14-year-old dog (skinny, dull coat, lethargic and arthritis) was really a problem of poor nutrition and not old age. In only one weeks time, he was up and moving like a younger dog, he put on 4 lbs. which before he was showing all his ribs and spine. His coat is starting to get shiny and he no longer acts like an old arthritic dog. It is remarkable and we are very pleased to know his senior years will have a quality that he did not have before. I am telling all my family and friends they need to have their dogs on Eagle foods. This has been a real learning experience for us.”

“While away at college, I had not seen our family pets (two huskies) for two months. I had told my parents they needed to be put on Eagle Senior Care, I had heard from a teacher this was the best food for dogs. When I went home for fall break I was very surprised to see the difference in these two dogs. The biggest difference was the feel of their coat, it was no longer oily and clumped together and the offensive odor was gone. We are very pleased with Eagle Senior dog food, it makes it easier to have the dogs live in the house when they are no longer shedding and have a bad odor.”

Dear Eagle Pet Products:

Three years ago, after being appointed as the K-9 supervisor for the St. Joseph County Police Department K-9 Division. I was faced with a problem that I felt needed to be addressed. Our K-9 units were being maintained on a low quality name brand pet food. My problem was that our dogs lacked the energy and stamina, which is needed to maintain a high level of effectiveness for long periods of time. This problem adversely affected our K-9 units’ job performance.

We tried many different types of Premium name brand foods and our dogs did not seem to improve. We then consulted our veterinarian, Dr. W. Meyer, who has an extensive nutrition background. Dr. Meyer assisted us in conducting a nutritional analysis of numerous dog foods. Through this analysis we determined that Eagle Pet Food would most likely be the most suitable feed for our working dog teams and give us the results that we were looking for.

Immediately after switching to Eagle Pet Food we began to see favorable results. Our dogs’ energy and stamina levels increased and the coats began to shine. We also no longer had the dermatitis problems that we once had. Also, no longer were there large weight fluctuations, and the transition from one Eagle food to another did not cause any digestive problems or loose stools, as other dog foods do.

I have been so impressed with the success that we have enjoyed with Eagle, that I have suggested its use to other working dog handlers. Members of the Northern Indiana Search and Rescue, the National Police Bloodhound Association and members of other Police departments, who have tried and switched to Eagle Pet Foods, have equally been impressed with the success they have achieved with this food.

I would suggest with confidence to other K-9 handlers and pet owners, who care about the performance and coat condition of their animals, to feed Eagle Super Premium Pet Food. I will assure them that they will be as pleased as I was, with the notable change in their animals.

Sincerely
Cpl. Keith A Glueckert

Dear Eagle Pack:

Thank you for the information on what was causing my cat’s diarrhea for the past four years. Your new Hairball Formula cat food is a miracle to me. I have tried about 25 different brands (including several from veterinarians) that didn’t work. I have taken my cat to about 7 different veterinarians and they all would tell me my cat must be sensitive to proteins. I tried every type of meat that I could buy in cat food including duck, veal, and venison, but nothing worked.

I have found over the years with talking to people and breeders that diarrhea in cats (especially in Persians) is very common. It is a shame that veterinarians don’t know anything about the importance of fiber. Thanks again for your help.

I thought you'd enjoy hearing of my most recent successes at the four-day Salt City Cluster in Syracuse, NY. I WON BIG!!! And I truly think the Eagle Pack, in addition to my careful breeding program, contributed to my wins. The dogs are in glorious condition. Everyone was remarked on how wonderful my Corgi male, Barry, looked. So, count me in as the newest satisfied customer.

Dear Eagle Pack:

As breeders, exhibitors, dog lovers - we want THE absolute best for our "family". We don't simply say that - we have been passionate about providing our dogs with sound nutrition.

We feel very strongly about the old adage - You Are What You Eat. Our goal has always been to gain some sort of (competitive) edge through better coats, better endurance, improved energy.

Our seemingly endless search brought us to Eagle Pack. We had been feeding our 2 younger dogs (x) and seemed to like the results...until we saw what "show" dogs looked like. Several months later...it was hard to ignore when Eagle was seen all over the Iditarod race. Hmmmmm, they "put the brag in the bag". We tried the product and like the results.

Fast Forward to present - those two younger dogs are now almost 14 and still enjoy romping with the puppies. Yes, a bit slower, but just as pretty, coats just as shiny, eyes just as bright.

We have branched out into Chocolates - Blacks and even a Fox Red Labrador. All have thick shiny coats with clear eyes and vibrant personalities. As for hips - we now get OFA Excellent or Good ratings. It seems like our litter size has increased as well.

We feed and recommend Eagle to everyone!

Steven

Our 10 mo. old Doberman bitch is eating Eagle Holistic (about 2 cups/twice a day) and is starting to put on weight and look better. I am very pleased with the food and glad she will eat it willingly as we had many problems getting her to eat anything before Eagle! No more home cooking for us.

Anyway, thanks so much for taking the time to help me with this feeding problem.

Cookie Mac and "Taylor Made"

Saw the Iditarod article. That is super. It say's a lot for the food. Our Goldens are doing great on the Eagle too and better than on any other food we tried. Maybe Omega balance contributes to great skin and coat...but when people come up to you and ask what you feed, because of good coat and muscle condition, etc...that says it all.

Thanks again,

I've been reading through your (Eagle Website) testimonials and felt I should add one more. I have a four year old Belgian Tervuren who suffered a seizure last May. It wasn't too severe and didn't last very long. Our vet checked Grady over and advised me to wait for her next one and we'd go from there. Three months later she had another seizure approx. the same duration and severity. I did some web surfing and came up with some information about canine epilepsy. One of the articles recommended a holistic diet that would incorporate certain minerals into her diet. They didn't go so far as to say it would stop seizures but in some dogs it might be just what they need to cross the line into seizure-free living. So I gave it a try (around the second seizure) and I began feeding Grady the holistic formula for dogs. It has been eight months now and she hasn't had another seizure. That is wonderful in itself but also, her coat has improved and even the people at the store where we purchase the food have noticed it. Thanks for making such a terrific product. I won't go back to the other brands again.

Last year, a friend's dog was suffering from a horrible yeast issue in her ears and had battled it since puppy hood (the vet finally did a culture after too long of messing around with it); after some oral/topical treatments didn't work, the vet talked about some very invasive surgery to cut part of the ear away for air flow (or something crazy like that). At that point, I got a lot more assertive with sticking my big nose in her business!!

I gave her copies of some of your info and your website. She immediately switched to Eagle Holistic and called Roscoe on her own and also uses oxydrops and backpack. Mabel's ears were clear in almost a week!!! And so far, no reoccurrence - it's been almost a year.

THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!

I just wanted to tell you how well our dog, a Rhodesian Ridgeback is doing on your product. Last year his coat was a mess and he had bald spots. Plus he was licking his paws. I stopped by the vet and was told to try their brand, plus a liquid omega supplement (additional cost of course). I stopped by my local pet food place to talk to the girl there. First thing she showed me was your products, the Holistic brand with all the organic ingredients. She said another lady had a dog that was almost bald and this helped him right away. It was pricey, but I tried it. In two weeks my dog looked and smelled beautiful.

We have been using the Eagle formulas for the past 7 years with great success. We were on (x) for a long time. When we first tried Eagle we were very impressed and never changed since. There have been ALOT of other foods that have come out since that time we started and we have hung in there for a long time with our chow hounds at home. We occasionally do rescue and foster and the Eagle Natural has been a wonderful standby for all breeds and have never had any problems. We have had an Alaskan Malamute on the Natural for 3 years now, who had a history of some hip problems and growth issues in his background. I was so happy when he got a good OFA and have not battled the usual health issues. We do not intend on trying out some of the new holistic foods out there, as Eagle set the mark on probiotics and other good things that they added to their foods.

Sidney is a 5 year old Yorkshire. He has had digestive problems since he was a puppy. We bought all kinds of dog food, but he wasn't able to tolerate them.

Since using Eagle Pack Holistic Dog Food, he has had no digestive problem, no vomiting, and his stools are normal. Sidney is now off Reglan. I should mention Sidney has allergies which our vet said makes finding a food that agrees with him even more difficult.

I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for providing such a great cat food.

My cat is almost twelve years old and has been grossly overweight (30 lbs) for most of his adult life. In recent years he developed stomach and liver problems, which one time resulted in a bout of vomiting which seriously dehydrated him and landed him at the vet's. When I moved away to university in 1999 his vomiting became worse; he would throw up undigested food and his stools would sometimes escape him before he could make it the litter box.

Last July I moved home, and for a while Patches was better. Then, in the last few months it started up again...complete stomachfuls of undigested or partially digested food, or no food at all, just bile, and accidents on the carpet.

His sickness got to the point where I believed he was dying.

At this point it was very clear to me that he needed something else. We stopped at Sunnyside Garden Center in Calgary. A very helpful - and very well-informed - clerk talked with me about (x) and Eagle Pack, and I ended up taking home free samples.

We tried a bit of the (x) first, and found out the cost for it was out of the budget. The Eagle Pack was our only other hope.

The vomiting and carpet accidents stopped within a day of changing his food. A few days later I noticed an incredible change in the way his coat felt - and whereas before he would shed handfuls of fur at a time, he now sheds drastically less. I have noticed more energy from him, improved "speech" (his meow would come and go), and his litter box is not as smelly or full.

Thank you very much!

I have a 9 month old Shar Pei male named Kobi. I've been using Nzymes since December, 2001. My dog was suffering from allergies (runny eyes, itching, and a patchy coat). Well, I used it for only 2 months and allergies were significantly reduced. I also took your advice and started him on Eagle Pack dog food and the combination has been excellent. Kobe has very few if no allergies, his coat is beautiful. When he did have allergies, I would rush him to the vet and they would immediately start him on antibiotics.

I would recommend you to anyone who wants the best for their pets. Thank you for making a quality and effective product.

As an owner/breeder/handler of Golden Retrievers, I had to share the great results Eagle has had on our Goldens. Several years ago when they were on (x) I battled hot spots, skin problems, weight problems, etc...My one girl 5 has been on the Natural since being spayed and one of her daughter's that I co-own will be shown by me in Flagstaff, AZ in June. When I first brought her to live with them, I came with my big blue bag of the Original Adult and they've had her on 2 cups a day, ...fresh meat and veggies sparingly, and I couldn't believe when I saw her the other day. She had a mane, on her front chest at 18 months, and a glowing coat with awesome muscle tone, from their swimming pool exercise as well. I can't wait to show her in the coming day's ahead for them. She is doing awesome.

I had Nero in to see Dr. Hutchinson last week for a routine checkup/weight. He was amazed at how well he's done. He commented to a student that was working with him that he had never seen a pup in such bad shape as Nero was in when he first saw him, recover the way he has. There are no lasting effects from the HOD. I've recommended the Eagle foods to several people that I know (even non-Dane people) and they've all had the same great results with their dogs.

Thanks again,
Missy.....and Nero

Have Eli on Eagle Large Breed Puppy and he no longer has unformed or loose stools....Yeah! No excess gas, no gurgling tummy, no extreme foul odor of stool.

Thank you again says Eli (GD Merle)
Me too, says Bette B.

I have two 3 year old German Shepherd's that were raised on a dog food that starts with the letter (x). In the past two years they were loosing vitality and their coat just didn't look good...they also suffered from periodic bouts of "the squirts" for no apparent reason and were developing cysts under their skin...they were just not the dogs I thought they should be at such a young age.

I began to learn about the Eagle Pack dog foods. I was stunned by the ingredients in the Holistic brand...my words were "oh gosh, I would eat this food!!!". I gradually started mixing it with the remainder of the (x) bag but they would eat all the Holistic and leave the other in their bowls...

I've now completed two bags of Holistic and I can't tell you how incredibly improved their energy levels are...ALL the cysts have disappeared...and...I also appreciate how much firmer their stools are. I am able to feed them smaller portions for the same nutritional value........GREAT!

A letter from a Boxer...

Hi! My name is BelleJ

A little over one year ago I was adopted through a Boxer Rescue of Central Indiana. One day, this person came to get me. Everything was great...but there was one problem. I couldn't stop vomiting...and I mean projectile (no warning) vomiting! And sometimes, I just couldn't stop, not for days.

I went to the doctor(s) and found out that I had whip worms and giardia - YUK - I was very skinny. At one point I went into renal failure. We even found out I had a spinal injury.

Luckily, my 'brothers' already ate Eagle pet food, used Nzymes, Oxydrops, and Daily Greens Plus. I got to eat Eagle Pack Natural - YUM! I really liked it. That's what I'm currently eating. So just a little over one year, we just got exciting news (my Mom even cried!) that I weigh 42 lbs.!!! I'm very petite, so it's a really good weight for me.

I wanted to let you know how well this new food of yours is working for me!

I have a two year old German Shepherd who is very involved in training activities. I started out feeding him (x). I found out he had a beef allergy and my vet suggested the (x) because it was fish based. It was ok but his energy level wasn't what it had been. Further, I wasn't pleased with the ingredients. It just didn't seem to have enough "good" things! I switched to the (x) Fish and Potato. German Shepherds shed, but what happened to his coat was much more than shedding! To add to that, his energy level was even lower.

I think I had read just about every dog food label, trying to give my GSD a decent dog food. Then one day I was looking at your website. I noticed the Holistic Select Anchovy, Sardine and Salmon Meal. I looked at the ingredients. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I called my local "holistic" store and they ordered a bag in for me.

Since starting to feed my dog this diet, his coat has stopped the "more than normal" shedding, his energy level is up and he loves this food!

Thank you very much!
