Look What People Are Saying About Bravo!

We got our dane at 7 weeks - a healthy and happy 25lbs. Yet from the day we got him, he had diarrhea. Of course we had him checked by the vet for all types of worms, etc. These results were all negative. We went through 4 different ultra premium foods to no avail. I took him to a local groomer for a bath, and they had your food on display. I decided to try it. I switched him "cold turkey" to the Balance Chicken. The next day, no diarrhea! He has been on the Balance diet for about a month now, and has had no intestinal issues at all! Not only is he finally getting the nutrition he needs, but we no longer come down to a disaster in the kitchen in the morning! I also love the fact that this is a local CT company! Thank you for your great products!

My story is one that is not with a happy ending for 1 dog and I am sure you will not use this...but I just wanted to tell you THANK YOU for making a all raw diet without fruits and nuts in it. I adopted a dog at 6 months and at 1 yr he was diagnosed with diabetes. I was devestated and looked for a food to feed him that was grain free as well as sugar free! This was 2007, I found your Bravo...and it was the perfect choice. It kept him balanced and healthy until he started to have seizures for epilepsy. The seizures were severe and we had to put him down. But your food let us feed him for a few years and not have to worry about blood sugar. In using this product I finally found a food my other puppy (8 mo) could eat that would allow her to gain weight and no diarrea. She eats only this every day and is awesome on it to this day! I am grateful for your food, there is none other like it and I want to say PLEASE stay with it..people like me need you. Dogs that can not eat fruit or nuts do awesome on your food. Thanks to you, my dogs are thriving and well. The new puppy (2010) is eating it and doing well, he loves it! Thank you!

natasha has been on bravo raw for the last 14 years and yes she is going blind and had of hearing and her hips are starting to bother her but the vet she has a heart of a 6 year old pooch and the vet says its caused from the food and diet she is on and that has been bravo diet thanks dave

We've been training our rescue mixed-breed dog, Togo, since he was 10 weeks old. He's now just shy of a year old and about to take his CGC test. Bravo's Trail Mix and All-Beef Hot Dog training treats were both excellent additions to his training treat rotation. He'll do just about anything for a hot dog, even when he's distracted. Thanks for making an excellent line of products that I feel good about giving my dog!

The best part of me purchasing this food for my dogs was the look of the first and every other bite they had!

We have a 7 yr old havanese .... Bosco .... who has over the past 6 years licked his paws. We were told it was allergies and has been medicated in recent years. The medication caused side effects that were worse than the paw licking. UNTIL NOW .... Bravo has changed all of that. Bosco has been on Bravo boneless Salmon for the last 2 months and we add veggies .... twice daily. He is a very happy little boy. Has lots more energy ... wants to play ... and does not lick his paws. We have tried every upscale dog food ... dry, canned and raw ... nothing worked. Bravo is amazing. With lots of love and thanks to Bravo. We are all very happy.

I have been the proud owner of Bodie, our 19 month old yellow lab, since March 2010. Since we got him we have been feeding him a very high quality grain free kibble for breakfast and Bravo raw for dinner. About one month ago, he started to experience soft stools which gradually turned into diarrhea. We also noticed that his coat was becoming dull and rough and he was starting to look gaunt and dehydrated. We took him to the vet, concerned that he might have a parasite or something else wrong with him. The vet could not find any problems so she suggested that we put him on an all raw diet and remove the kibble from his diet. Within a day or two of taking him off the kibble and feeding all Bravo raw, his stool was completely back to normal and his fur became even more soft and shiny than it was before! We found out the the producer of the kibble had changed their formula so that is what upset his stomach. SO we have made the decision not to feed him any kibble and keep him on an all raw diet. He looks beautiful and back to normal, so I want to thank you for offering such a great product that obviously offers many health benefits to our furry friends. Thank you!!

My golden was 6 years old and had always had trouble with her skin and ears. As early as 4 months old she had scabs, ear infections etc. We had a million test run, she lived on antibotics and steroids. We finally went to see a doggie dermatologist who suggested veggie diet only and steroids every time her skin got bad. Well, it was always bad. She would rip all the hair off her tail off, chewed her feet and pads until she couldn't walk and her ears were always red and smelly with yeast. It was sad. I spoke to someone who suggested a raw diet. As a last ditch effort I tried Bravo Turkey Blend Burgers. I didn't expect them to work but after 3 days her skin started looking less red and within two weeks my sweet dog was getting better. She now has a healthy coat, skin and ear infections are a thing of the past. This food saved her life!

have you ever heard of a back hussel heelier? it is a mixed breed of: jack russel terrier+blue heeler.do you like my mixed breed?.

Meet SeaBoots (Boots - is on the right of the picture) an Captain Jumping Jack Splash (Jack, is on the left of the picture). They are two fiesty Portuguese water dogs who love their Bravo! (they eat the Bravo! Balance twice a day) and they love to play, especially in the pond in the backyard of our CT home. Their favorite pond game? Go get the Kong Wubba, which they do with a great leap, a big splash and much enthusiastic paddling around and back to shore. The reward? A Bravo! Bonus Bite treat! Do they ever get tired? No! We get tired throwing the Wubba. This picture was taken when Jack was just shy of 1 year of age. He is now just as big as Boots, who is still the boss (alpha) dog of the team. Just like OBamas's Porty Beau, Boots runs our little "White House." Nick, their daddy, is Bravo!s Director of Marketing, which is why the whole family is a bit "over the top" about Bravo!

Riley & Digby are two of our Newfoundlands. Riley is 11 years old and has suffered from allergies resulting in a terrible skin condition. He has spent a great deal of his life on antibiotics. He would get hot spots and rashes that would fester and cause him severe itching and in need of many medicated baths. His coat would get very thin and shaggy looking. We tried, thru process of elimination, many different foods. After going on Bravo Raw Diet he has not had any skin problems and has a full thick coat even now during the summer. He is a much happier and healthier dog.

Digby is nine years old and has had a rough life. At six months old he was diagnosed with crippling hip dysplasia and underwent gold bead implantation. This procedure has given us 9 more years with him. At about 6 years old he started vomiting every night after going to bed. In search of what the cause was, it was discovered that he had a necropsic kidney, resulting in the removal of it. This was still not the cause of his vomiting, as it continued.

Upon recommendation, we tried him on Bravo Raw Diet. He stopped vomiting the next day and has not had an episode since. He too has a full healthy coat right thru the year.

These two dogs have proven to me that the Raw Diet has merit, even though it is a bit more expensive than processed dog food, it has resulted in less Vet & prescription bills.

When in doubt, ask yourself, WWWD, “ What would wolves do”? Naturally!

Pico and I are home from the nationals with some great news! Pico took second place in the elite division at the Dock Dogs National Championships!! Elite is the highest division and the winner was the unbeatable world record holding greyhound!

It was a foregone conclusion that he would win, so the race was for second and Pico came through with a fantastic jump of 24 ft 4in! The crowds were huge and Pico has a lot of friends. It was an incredible high to take to the dock and hear everyone yelling Pico's name and cheering for her! Pico also has her own theme music and it was great hearing that too!

The event was filmed by three camera crews, for Animal Planet, Outdoor Life Network and another one. This will be a one-hour program to air in mid-March 2007. I will keep you posted when I know more. I was not able to stay for the banquet afterwards, but I got more good news from a friend who did attend. Pico won the award for most improved dog of the year!! And she deserved it, she went from junior jumps of 12 feet to all this!! Thank you so much for your sponsorship.

While we train hard and Pico is a true athlete, it was only after I started feeding her Bravo that I began to see her really excel. She got lean, even though she developed much more muscle mass. And her energy levels soared. Other handlers on the dock diving circuit often ask me what I feed her because she is such a remarkable picture of health. I’m proud to tell them that Pico eats only Bravo! Pico and I truly consider Bravo! to be part of our team!

Our Yellow Labrador Tyler constantly licked his forelegs until they were beet red. Each year, during his well visits, we asked the Vet what could/should be done. We tried several brands of dry food, therapeutic shampoos and oil supplements to help solve the problem. Finally, after hearing about Bravo! and how it can sometimes help dogs with food allergy reactions, we tried it. After just two months, he had stopped the licking and the foreleg was back to normal. After six months on Bravo!, he has lost weight and his energy is better than ever. See the before and after photos.

My two beautiful Siberian cats, Max and Aleksi, wanted me to write to tell you how much they enjoy the freeze-dried chicken Bonus Bites. Every day they each get a piece, and they begin batting the treat around, sending it skidding across the floor or flipping it up in the air. The chase game begins in the kitchen, and usually continues through the living room and dining room. They leap and pounce, and then finally eat the “mouse.” It is definitely their favorite treat...and mine too!

Shilo was 8 months old when she arrived in rescue. She had mange and they were treating her with several medications. But she didn’t start to get better until they changed her diet to Bravo. The following pictures tell a sad story with a happy ending. Warning – the “before” photos will hurt your heart. The “after” pictures are one month after starting on Bravo.

Everyone who has watched the change in Shilo is thrilled with Bravo. Thanks for helping to save her.

Ch. New Beginnings Makin Waves, RN (Surf) won his first Best In Show at 2 1/2 years of age. All of the judges who have awarded him his multiple group placements and his BIS have remarked on how fit he is, how muscular he is for a mastiff and how shiny and gorgeous his coat is! We attribute all that to his Bravo raw diet.

Surf has eaten Bravo for his entire life!

Thanks Bravo, for helping to bring out the best in our Best In Show.

My oldest naturally reared Westie, Reba, Ch. Bonnie Brier Sittin’ Pretty, was a Group winner bitch when she was campaigned. Now retired, Reba has been eating raw since weaning. I only use BRAVO raw foods because of the quality of the products, the convenience of packaging and the stellar job the gang at BRAVO do for me when I put in my orders and pick up my food. They are always willing to answer any question I have about their products. I only recommend BRAVO to all the guardians who acquire my NR puppies, or anyone else for that matter. I have never had a complaint, nor have they, with any of the foods they feed and the proof is in the awesome health of the dogs.

Vestry, Ch. Bonnie Brier Dealer’s Choice, has been BRAVO raw fed his whole life. He had glowing health, stamina and athletic ability to keep up with his showing campaign and that has not changed since being retired. BRAVO meat patties made it easy to feed him when we traveled to dog shows. There just isn’t any reason not to feed BRAVO.

Dillon, Ch. Bonnie Brier I Wanna Be A Cowboy, is the latest in the line of raw fed, naturally reared Westies who eat BRAVO. During his show career he maintained excellent health and condition so I know BRAVO foods give him all that he needs for an athletic dog. When people asked me how I keep him in such sound condition I replied, I feed him BRAVO raw food! Diet is the foundation to good health. BRAVO is the only diet of the Bonnie Brier naturally reared Westies.
