Artemis !? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Emmsmom · 01-10-2007, 03:37 PM

Has anyone ever tried this food before and if so do you babies like it? Diesel has such a sensitive stomach that he can't seem to handle anything new without getting very loose stools for a while. I had read that Artemis has probiotics in to help replce the good bacteria in their system. I called the company and they said they could send me a free sample.

So ..if you have used it do you like it and more important does your dog like it!

Both my girls love the Artemis Fresh Mix for Small Breeds and the Artemis Osopure for Small Breeds!

Kia, my little 4#er is a picky eater. She gobbles the Artemis right down!

Oh Good! Right now he eats Innova. He doesn't reallt gobble it down but he will eat it.As long as that is the only food he eats he is fine. He can't even eat a dog treat without getting the runs for a day or so. I really would like for him to eat better and possibly gain a little weight. Right now he just picks at it off and on all day. They are sending me a sample so I can at least see if he will like it.

Mine love Artemis! Maddie especially loves it! I think she likes the tiny size bites.

That is one of my problems with Innova. The bites are shaped like triangles. They are kinda thick triangles tho and I have to take a mallot and beat them up just a tad so they are smaller. He will eat it much better then. Go figure! lol So I am hoping that maybe he will like the smaller bites.

Baby has been on Artemis and she really liked it, but has stayed faithful to Wysong. Juicy loves the artemis puppy. It is really small and that is a plus. She seems to be doing well on it!

Artemis is a great food. We haven't personally tried it because Loki does so well on his Canidae. He had a super sensitive tummy before we found Canidae, which also has pro-biotics, and now he's fine. You are on the right track - just switch foods VERY slowly, like over 2 weeks.

I think Diesel will do well on the Artemis, just remember like Erin said, make the transition slowly, so as not to upset his sensitive tummy. Kia did not care for Innova, the bites were too thick for her tiny mouth, and Canidae gave my girls the worst breath!

Artemis is the only food Kia doesn't bat out of the bowl to eat, she gobbles it right from the bowl.
