Eagle Pack Pet Foods, Inc.

Note: Negative references to other leading premium dog food brands have been replaced with (x) in the following testimonials.

First of all, let me say that I did some research on food for Great Danes and I kept hearing about Eagle Pack. My puppy Lilly had diarrhea all the time and I was looking for a different food that would not make her grow too quickly which can be hard on her joints. Well, I decided to give Eagle Pack a chance, the testimonials were hard to ignore. I found a store here in Nashville that sells it (Nashville Pet Products). They were so friendly and helped me find exactly what I needed. Since Lilly has been on Eagle Pack there have been some great changes. She no longer has diarrhea, and her coat is so soft. Everyone compliments her on how soft she feels. Her teeth are also bright white, no tarter :) She has lots of energy and loves the Eagle Pack. I always recommend it to other dog owners.

I also wanted to say thank you for your help. I am a member of the Soldiers Angels organization. Soldiers Angels is an organization where you can "adopt" a soldier and send them letters and care packages. They have a K-9 Angels team, I sent a request and got a dog handlers name. The dogs are used overseas in the war to help detect bombs. They have a radio and the handler gives them directions. The dogs stand by the bombs until they can be disarmed. They do this for praise and squeaky toys. I e-mailed Nashville Pet Products and asked them if they would like to donate anything for the K-9 unit. They are in need of toys, dog shoes, treats, etc. Well, Nashville Pet Products e-mailed me back and said that Eagle Pack is donating a $100 gift card for my adoptive K-9! I checked and made sure it was ok to send food (with the dogs strict diet) and I was told it was fine. I can not say thank you enough!

I am so happy to be able to help these brave dogs and with your help it is so much easier! I never expected such a great gesture! This just reconfirmed what I already knew about Eagle Pack, ya'll are the BEST! Thanks again, and if I get any feedback from my K-9 unit I will be sure to forward it to your company.

My dog is a 2.5 year Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix. He came from a puppy mill and was very sick with Cocidea and worms for many weeks. Over the course of about 18 months, we had made many visits to the veterinary in order to address a series of oddball problems. However, we were never able to pinpoint any underlying causes. The poor dog looked old, moved like he was old – but there was “nothing” wrong with him.

Symptoms:

Lack of energy
Sluggish walk (waddled from side to side in a slow walk)
Rough dry coat, color drained out of coat
Goopy eyes
Chewing at paws (fur would turn a redish color around paws)
Crusty redish colored beard after eating
Smelly, warm ears
General odor
Licking into the air
Reverse sneezing episodes
Occasional upset stomach, vomiting/diarrhea
Droopy ears & expression. Just “blah”
Weight gain

And then he was diagnosed with a skin condition called acanthosis nigricans (AN). 2.5” dark oval spots on groin area. After the diagnosis of “AN”, that was the final straw. I was no longer willing to accept that my dog was “OK”, “Normal”, “Aging”, etc. I KNEW something was not right. In a desperate attempt to find some answers, I stumbled across Nzymes.com website. The person that I spoke to at Nzymes was so professional and was very educated on the product line. The PEOPLE at Nzymes.com ARE a HUGE asset to their company. They explained the advantages of following a complete program to include quality food and supplement. They really cared.

I put my dog on the complete Nzymes product line and also selected the Eagle Pack Holistic Select Duck and Oatmeal (dry) and along with the Eagle Pack Holistic Select Chicken (canned). The dog actually LOVES the food!! (I’ve tried many “premium” dog foods and the dog just wouldn’t eat them). Results became visible within 30 days. It’s now been more than 60 days and I am happy to report;

Puppy like energy levels. Lots of romping and playing
Peppy walk (bounces up and down)
Soft coat, gold, brown and black color tones starting to grow back in (blew the groomer away!)
Bright, clear eyes
No paw chewing
Crusty redish colored beard gone
No new ear problems. Smells gone
No more Licking into the air
Reverse sneezing episodes – has happened once or twice vs. almost daily
Zero upset stomach episodes
15% weight loss, despite the fact that he seems to eat MORE now.
Overall my dog has become a bouncing, feisty, playful, lovebug of a dog. A huge and very noticeable difference
And the dark brown/black spots which were diagnosed as 'AN' are completely GONE.

Thanks to both Nzymes and Eagle Pack for giving me my dog back and enhancing his life. I highly recommend each product individually or in combination with each other (as needed). I really can’t thank you enough. THANK YOU.

P.S. I’ve invested about $2,000 in vet bills and plenty of money trying different dog foods (including the prescription diets from the vet). Food is the foundation for health and well being. It really makes all the difference in the world. I have witnessed it. You guys should feel very proud of yourselves and your products.

I rescued my cat Gunner when he was 5 months old. I got him with a terrible case of the Herpes Virus in his eyes. He is also very crossed eyed so between the goop coming out of his eyes constantly and his crossed eyes I wonder how he sees to get around. He is now 6 years old. The first few years I spent a lot of money on a lot of different test and a ton of different drops and ointments that never worked and sometimes even made the condition worse. They were very expensive as much as $50.00 for a bottle of eye drops smaller than my pinky finger. I finally gave up on all meds as none of them worked. I cleaned his eyes out twice a day with a cotton ball and warm water every day. He is so good about it and never fights me cleaning his eyes.

I have always fed my cats either (x) or (x) for the last 4 years. About 5 weeks ago I changed over to Eagle Pack Duck Meal and Oatmeal formula. First I noticed that both my cats dove right into the food. I also like that the food is tiny bites much easier for them to eat. So over the weeks I went about my business. Well I don’t know when it happened but all of a sudden Gunners eyes are so clear. No more goopy crap coming out of his eyes. I hope I am not jinxing myself and they continue to stay clear. As of right now I have to credit it to the food change and I hope that it helps control this virus.

Thanks Eagle Pack,
Sandee D.

I just wanted to thank you all at Eagle Pack for making such a terrific food! My 2 year old Golden Retriever named “Mozart” has been on your food since he was a puppy and has always been extremely healthy and happy. Many thanks go to Linda Arndt as well, canine nutritional specialist, for her wonderful wealth of knowledge, leading and supporting us every step of the way to ensure that our large breed puppy/dog would grow and thrive optimally.

Mozart loves your newest line of Holistic Large and Giant Breed Adult Formula. People are just amazed that we have a Golden that doesn’t shed or have any coat or skin problems. We will always be strong supporters of your food and will continue to pass on our success story to others.

Sincerely,

Since we started using Eagle Pack several years ago, we noticed an enormous impact on the health of our dogs. Our 27" 90 lb. Labrador Retriever outlived our vet's expectations in very good health right up until he died at age 14 last year.

We are now involved with Basset Hound rescue. We have three Basset

Hounds of our own who have thrived on it. We are using Duck and Oatmeal due to our one hound's sensitive stomach and skin issues. He no longer has problems since we started him on it. The youngest has shown distinct improvements with his ears, too. We are so pleased that this quality food not only keeps our dogs healthy and handsome with their shiny coats and bright eyes, but it saves us on vet bills, too. We tell everyone about Eagle Pack - it is great. When we send fosters to their forever homes, we send them with a bag of Eagle Pack and a coupon. It is new to most people and when they see how good it is, the word spreads.

Chloe is a 12 year old female black Labrador Retriever. She was diagnosed with crystals and placed on a prescription diet. On this diet, her symptoms of frequent and sometimes unaware urinating continued, and added an additional symptom of an unquenchable thirst. She would wet her self at night we had her in diapers and was up several times letting her out.

We were searching the web for help on a Great Dane puppy with picky eating habits and found Eagle Pack. I called the nutritionist at Eagle Pack to discuss Chloe's symptoms; they recommended Anchovy, Sardine & Salmon Meal with Oatmeal. From the first day Chloe has improved and no longer wets her self and water can be left down.

Karma (the one wearing a jacket), is a rescued jack russell/pit bull mix - or so we figure. He had been stray and no one really knows what his parentage was. I adopted him when he was close to one year old, in fall 2000. Since then he has had numerous health related issues, mostly to do with his immune system, sensitivities and skin/coat. I have always used good quality diets and mixed in other whole foods as treats to supplement his diet. Upon a recommendation, I switched him to Eagle Pack Duck and Oatmeal Formula in the fall of 2005. Since then there has been a significant difference in his skin and the condition of his coat.

His coat at best has been a short, hard coat, with a high degree of shedding - year round. His fur had been quite patchy and came out in clumps, historically. As well, he tends to have dry, itchy skin. Since switching him to the Duck formula last fall, he has had 100% improvement. His coat has significantly softened, and the shedding has minimized to be almost non-existent. His coat and skin is looking much better - and with that he seems happier and seems to be having more fun - which is the most important thing for me.

My other dog, a rescued Border Collie, Pipp is also eating the same food and doing great. His coat has become especially shiny, which is rare at this time of year with the heat on in the house and the air so dry.

I have Bouvier des Flandres. My first dog (since passed) was raised on Eagle Pack, her daughters have been on Eagle Pack Products, the Grand pups are on Eagle Pack Power and even her great-grand pup is on Eagle Pack (I have been feeding Eagle Pack for 13 years now).

I have wonderful coats, no itchy skin, bright eyes and lots of energy. Thank you for making such a wonderful food.

I want to let you know what a difference your dog food has made to our 2 golden retrievers. We originally switched to the Holistic formula, on the advice of our vet, when our younger male, Newman, developed severe allergies. He is doing great on Eagle Pack (the only dog food he doesn't vomit up). The real difference came in our 8 year old girl, Samba. She lost all of her excess weight and has energy to burn! She outruns all of the younger dogs on bike rides and we've even had people ask us if we got a new dog! You have a great product, which is actually cheaper than the so-called premium brand (a popular store brand - which we all recognize). I recommend Eagle Pack to anyone who asks.

Oscar is an active 6-year-old Turkish Angora. He was adopted from a no-kill animal shelter and now resides with us in Northwest Indiana. He really enjoys Eagle Pack Holistic Select formula as well as the Hairball Formula. Both have the scrumptious flavor that satisfies his finicky appetite and the ingredients to help keep him healthy.

My family and I have fallen in love with the greyhound breed because of our first greyhounds Charlie (brown brindle) and Molly (white speckled). We adopted Charlie three years ago and Molly two years ago. They are a gentle breed, eternally grateful for a soft bed and a loving family.

This is Charlie's story. When Charlie came off the track he was very sick with an ear mite infection in both ears that had moved to his blood stream. After one month on antibiotics and lots of tender care he recovered fully and had two and a half years of good health. This spring he began to show signs of illness again, poor appetite, weight loss, low energy and pain in his joints. After two weeks of diagnostic tests with two different veterinarians, he was diagnosed with Erchiliosis - a tick borne disease that he became infected with when he was on the track. It had harbored for years in his bone marrow. He was treated with one month of antibiotics, recovered and then turned acutely ill again with in one week of stopping the antibiotics. At this time blood work showed that Charlie was in complete liver failure and was terminal. He was given a last ditch effort on antibiotics and sent home with comfort measures. That week I went to Checkerhill Farms in Glenville, N.Y. and asked about a quality dog food that would promote health for a sick dog. They directed me to the Eagle Pack brand. I transitioned Charlie and Molly over to this dog food in the course of about two

weeks. His appetite improved immediately and over the next month I noticed Charlie regaining his strength and health back. He is no longer in liver failure. He runs and plays with his greyhound sister, Molly. His eyes sparkle and his coat shines. He is still with us today and I have you and your product to thank. Despite the best efforts of Veterinary medicine, Charlie was terminal in August. Because of your holistic, quality food product, today Charlie is the picture of health. He is a testament to the importance of good nutrition in recovery from illness and the maintenance of health.

Our three cats, Joey (grey), Chester (white and yellow patch) and Jack (yellow tiger) are now transitioned to your food product and have much softer and shiny coats of fur.

Thank You!

My 8 yr old Ragdoll has had years of digestive problems - constipation, very hard stools alternating with diarrhea, and scooting due to anal gland irritation. Then lately she began vomiting after eating her food that was designed for sensitive stomach. We have taken her to the Vet so many times for all these problems and tried many different brands of prescription food. She has had x-rays and blood tests, anal gland expressions, vitamins, laxatives, etc. The poor animal was miserable and so were her "parents". I was shopping for something new for her to try when I met your company representative. She was so helpful and just knew Eagle Pack would help her. How right she was!! We are on the second bag of inactive with 40% less fat. Her stools are normally formed and once a day. No more straining and scooting. Her appetite is great and she loves her Eagle Pack. I wish I had known about this years ago. At her next Vet visit I am taking the bag with me to show her doctor. I want other animals to benefit from what we have learned.

Thanks so much from Birdie Sabo and her grateful "parents".

The attached photo is of our Siamese/Tabby, Bana, just over a year old. A few words from Bana would be, "MEOWWWWWW! I love you guys!" She is so happy when we bring home a new bag of Holistic Select Chicken Meal & Rice that she wants to hug the bag. If she cannot get into it by us opening it, she will try on her own. She loves it so much! Thank you for providing the best food in the world to keep her loving, happy and healthy.

First of all, I want to thank you for having such a wonderful food! It has really improved my puppies' quality of life!!

We have an 8 1/2 month old Great Dane puppy, Erik, who has always had an EXTREMELY laid-back personality. All of his check-ups have been fine and we were beginning to think this was just his personality. Then he started developing pimple-like sores. We took him to the vet. At first she thought he was developing some acne due to the age he was, and gave us a recommendation on keeping these areas clean, but to keep an eye on them, and bring him back if they didn't clear up.

Well, they didn't really clear up, and then his coat started looking kind of lusterless and flaky and he got big sores on his feet--back to the vet!! This sent up a red flag looking like food allergies. The vet wanted to try him on Eagle Holistic Select Chicken (he was on (x)). Well, he has done wonderfully on this!! In weeks, all of his sores are gone, and he had one big, nasty shed, and his coat looks gorgeous!!

Thanks again for a great food.

As a dog trainer, I learn more and more about the dog food industry. I'd stumbled upon your brand in a Holistic Pet Food Store in Vancouver, B.C. I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank-you for developing such healthy AND quality dog food for my 1 year old Chocolate Labrador Retriever. I have been feeding her her favorite Holistic Brand, Anchovy, Sardine & Salmon w/Oatmeal. Chutney just loves the fish taste!

Although, Chutney would eat other different brands, she just didn't have that sparkle in her eyes while she was eating and I would have to throw away half her unfinished meal. With Eagle Pack, her chocolate fur is more shiny and smooth, and those beautiful teeth...we get so many compliments! Even I wished I had her fur color! Chutney has so much energy and is very healthy. I am sure to recommend Eagle Pack products to all dogs and cat lovers!

Thank you and pawshakes to you from Chutney!

My Beagle is 4 years old and all she as ever eaten was (x) Lamb & Rice. But we have always had to add can food in it just to make her eat, plus she had started itching and licking a lot. A couple of weeks ago we switched to your Eagle Pack Lamb & Rice food. Now she eats her food with just a little warm water, and she as stopped itching and licking!!!
Thank you very much for making such a great product!! You have made my babies much happier and healthier....

One of the puppy's that I placed this past Spring was a true picky eater. He had allergies to corn and just wasn't very interested in the food that his family was feeding him. They tried several different brands and ended up feeding him bananas and milk, just to put something in his little tummy! I got them started on your Eagle Pack Chicken Holistic and he took to it immediately. He has been on your food for five months now and I'm happy to report that he has gained weight, has great skin and a coat to die for. Citrine's Luk E to Luv, aka Luke, is in the show ring strutting his stuff thanks in part to your great product. Thank you so much for having such a good quality, highly palatable food.

I have three dachshunds, two of which were rescued from puppy mills. After a year or so on a very low fat prescription dog food and considerable much needed weight loss, I decided it was time to find better quality food for them. I did a lot of research online and went with a food with a great reputation. Shortly before that time, one of my dogs came down with a doggy flu, while another had begun vomiting for no apparent reason. The new food had come and they looked and seemed like they were doing well on it. My one dog continued to vomit daily. We still don't know the cause of it because it had begun so suddenly BEFORE the change in food. This had gone on for 3 long months. She had blood work done, full health screen, parasite screen, also had a dental, cyst removal and a UTI during this time with a round of antibiotics. All while still vomiting on a daily basis. Also during this time another of my dogs began vomiting every few days. The 3rd dog, about once a week. We still kind of thought it was part of the doggy flu that my one had since there was no other cause or change in the household, and they were acting perfectly fine with no other symptoms. I decided it was time for a change in food. I had read about probiotics and debated on just supplementing their food, but decided to just switch food. I ordered the Duck & Oatmeal food. After it came and I transitioned a few days, the dog that vomits most, had just been sick twice in the first 5 days. The others were fine. Its now been about 3 weeks. They are all doing great! It is so nice not having to deal with sick dogs all the time. I certainly know we are much happier now that they don't all have tummy aches! Two of my dogs also have seizures. I was
very worried when switching about preservatives. I've read a lot about certain preservatives causing or at the very least not being recommended for dogs with seizures. They have been seizure free for a while now - Snickers since March, Truffles since May! I'm sticking to Eagle Pack. I've been telling everyone I know about it. I am so impressed with the change!

Thank you so much,

I have a 5 1/2 month old golden retriever who has been eating the holistic chicken formula for almost a month now with great results. She had a history of unexplained diarrhea since we first got her at 12 weeks. She was tested for various things and nothing came back to explain it. She had to be on metronidazole at low doses to keep it at bay. I researched online and found a recommendation for your food on chatgoldens.com. So I weaned her off the metronidazole and started your food and she has not had any diarrhea issues since then. I'm planning on leaving her on it indefinitely since it has worked wonders for her--I think she eats better than my kids!

Chewy is an American Bulldog who is now 9 months old. He was diagnosed with severe hip dysphasia at 7 months old. The vet said that he will go lame in a few months and that he needs to have both hips replaced which he can’t get until he is 10 months old. Chewy also has food allergies and has a sensitive stomach. He was allergic to digestive foods and the hypoallergenic foods gave him diarrhea. I found Eagle Pack while surfing the internet and figured I would give it a try. I have been through almost every brand of food out there from homemade to prescription foods. Chewy now dines on the Duck and Oatmeal formula and loves it! He has never been excited to eat and I usually have to hand feed him just to get him to eat anything, with the Duck and Oatmeal formula he finishes his meals. I have also seen an improvement in his energy level. He was not able to take our normal daily walk because of his hips but now he can take the full walk and still have energy when we get home to play like a normal puppy. Since he has been eating Eagle Pack he doesn’t seem to be in pain and plays again instead of sleeping all day! Thank you Eagle Pack. I am so glad I found you!

Just wanted to thank you for your excellent advice regarding my two English Setter puppies. I called you in mid September to inquire about which Eagle Pack formula would be right to feed two English Setter puppies, then age 3 months and 8 months.

The 8 month old had been having digestive problems since I first got him in late March. No matter what brand of food I fed he would do well on it for about 2 to 3 weeks and then would have bouts of diarrhea. All foods were

introduced gradually and his diet was limited but still the strange bouts of diarrhea continued. He had gotten to the point where he was refusing to eat, was constantly scratching, and had a very dull, dry coat.

When the second puppy arrived I decided it was time for some help and called. You immediately suggested Eagle Pack Large & Giant Breed Puppy formula with Eagle Pack Holistic Solution added. I purchased my first bag that very same day and I have to say that not only do both puppies eat with gusto but their stools are normal and their coats are in beautiful condition.

Thank you so much for helping me get my setter boys on the road to good nutrition. When it is time for them to switch to an adult food you can rest assured it will be an Eagle Pack formula!

I have a beautiful 9 mo. old Golden boy. I got him from the breeder when he was 6 mos. old and he had been on a holistic diet that I could not get in my area. I was forced to try several other quality foods that the breeder recommended, but Fletcher was still having soft and runny stool that was really "smelly" and a lot of gas! I started doing some of my own research and with the help of a pet nutritionist started him on the Holistic Select Chicken and Rice formula. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I did the change over slowly, but he is now completely on the Eagle Pack and his digestive problems are over. He is putting on the weight he needed, and his coat and energy level are great. He is not having a BM every time he goes outside now, and the odor doesn't make you want to gag! Thank you Eagle Pack for having the right food for my boy.

I thought you might like too see a photo of my black Persian female GC, GP, RW Catzilla Dusk of Altaris. Three years ago I offered my cats a sample bag of your Eagle Pack Holistic Select Chicken and Rice dry food. She has loved it ever since and her coat has never been better. Hopefully you can tell from her photo that she has a lot of coat! (more photos of dusk on my website!) My cats and I are big fans of your holistic dry food, and I have tried many other premium cat foods over the years without the positive results that I have gotten since switching them over to your chicken and rice dry food.
Thank you,

I just had to write to you directly. Your product has made ours a very happy & active household. We have 6 shih tzu/yorkies & 1 mini pinchser. One of our shih/yorkies was misdiagnosed 2 years ago by three vets in our area & was near death until I finally screamed, & I mean screamed. It turned out that my Baxter had pancreatitis & would have died a very painful death within 1 more day. I'm a very loving mommy & I'm with them 24/7 so I knew something was wrong. They wanted to put him to sleep, but if you saw his eyes like I saw his eyes, he still had a lot of life & just wanted to get better. So I took it in my hands and contacted a holistic vet. She sent me oogles of reading & diets. We had to watch everything everybody ate. Also Baxter had to take digest enzymes, 2-3 a day.

Well, my husband & I would like to take this time to "THANK YOU" We saw an ad in our local paper introducing the duck meal. I'm sorry to say I had never heard of your product until then. I contacted the store, Homestead Kennels, in Nazareth, Pa. and I must say they represent your product with sincerity, knowledge, & care. I went to their store & the young lady talked to me for an hour, to help ease my fear of changing foods. She patiently answered all my questions, helped me understand your programs.

Well now because of you, your product & that young lady, I am the proud mommy of 7 very happy, playful, & content babies. They love your food & the transition was so easy. They weaned themselves & went straight to your food. We ended up with the chicken because that's their favorite & that is what Baxter handles better than the rest. A special note is that we have not had to do the enzymes at all, his stomach is not hard, & he's actually back to being the old Baxter that we loved & missed. Thank you again so much for helping us help him to having a more fulfilling life. He's my little man.

The others also have had some positive changes, their coats are shinier, their more playful, their whole attitude has changed. They attack their food bowls now. The changes you made for me, well now I spend less time worrying about Baxter, and meds time, I have more time to play with all of them now. To me that's priceless.

Sincerely,
Michele N. & family

Our Black Russian Terrier (Igor) has been raised on Eagle Pack. Now 15 months, we are changing from the Puppy Mix (for giant breeds) to an adult formula. Our vet commented at the one-year physical how healthy our best friend is. His exact words were, "I don't know what you're feeding him, but keep it up."

Igor is 31 inches to his shoulder and weighs 130 lbs. He's a very happy and well-trained, well-mannered dog. Wherever we take him, which is just about everywhere, people love him.

Thanks for a good wholesome product.
