Fromm Promotion

What dog food are you feeding your dog?  Do you know what’s in your dog food?  Does it contain by-product meal, corn gluten meal, corn, wheat, or meat & bone meal?  Do you know how much fat or protein your dog should be getting?  Or even know what that information translates into? 
If you don’t know these questions I encourage you to check out your dog food bag today.  You just might be surprised at what you find is lurking in your pup’s food. 


Does your dog board with us?  While they stay do they have our “House” food here?  Can you name what our “House” food is?  Our “House” food is Fromm Adult Gold dry kibble.  What was that?  You said you’ve never heard of Fromm before?!  No way!  Well let me tell you about Fromm.  Fromm Family Foods is a fifth-generation family owned and operated artisan pet food company that is based in Wisconsin.  The Fromm Family has been maintaining a tradition of quiet innovation dedicated to the health and nutrition of animals since 1904.  They actually helped developed the first canine distemper vaccine in the 1930’s.  In 1949 they even introduced the concept of premium pet food by pioneering the process of cooking meat and grain together to create the dry kibble food that is so popular today.  Because of their tradition of quite innovation that’s why you won’t find Fromm products at big name super stores.  Fromm’s belief is that, as a family owned and operated business themselves they understand the kind of commitment pet specialty store owners have to their customers, employees, and communities.  Their retail partners are exclusively independent businesses and family owned businesses. 


Now of course I’m sure you want to know a little more about the dog food.  You wouldn’t want to eat Italian food every day, would you?  So why should your dog have to eat the same thing?  With Fromm’s line of artisan dog food you can interchange the flavors so if your dog is feeling “Chicken a la veg” one day they can have that and change to “Whitefish & Potato”  the next day without doing a transition from one to another. 

So here is Fromm’s proposition to you…
  • ·         1 FREE 4lb or 5lb bag or Fromm when you buy any size one bag (1 per customer)-also for existing Fromm customers! (This also means you already have 2 UPC codes already towards the Frequent Buyers program! 
  • ·         Or bring us your empty bag of food (that’s right we want the empty bag of dog food that you’re currently feeding) and we will give you one free 4lb or 5lb bag of Fromm (1 per customer). –Unfortunately NOT for existing Fromm customers. 
  • ·         Lastly price match- You’re interested in changing your pup’s dog food to Fromm, but are you worried about the cost?  Fromm is sure that you will see the quality in their food that we will match the price.  Bring us the receipt for what you’re currently paying for your pup’s food and we’ll match it. 

*Additional Fromm Promotions:  Frequent Buyer Program buy 12 bags of Fromm and we will you give your 13th bag free.  Just cut out and save the proof of purchase from each bag and place them in our frequent buyer envelope.  Return the completed envelope and 12 Proof of Purchased UPCs to us and we’ll give you your 13th bag free! 


Not sure which Fromm flavor or line to try or to switch your dog to?  Ask us!  But make sure to give us the whole picture of your dog’s eating habits.  What food is your dog currently eating?  If you have the bag bring it in that will assist us with what food we should direct you to try.  Does your dog have any “allergies”?  Do they have any medical issues?  Do they have a “sensitive stomach”?  Does your dog tend to not like certain flavors?  We would be delighted to explain to you more about the different Fromm lines.

Read Now & Safe for Later…


Yearly Halloween Reminder with some important information:

With Halloween right around the corner don’t forget about Fido.  Doorbells ringing, children in scary costumes, candy everywhere, loud noises, and all these things can be a danger to your pup. 

Some dogs get stressed out during the day from the doorbell constantly ringing, if your dog is one of these pups consider perhaps having them come for the day for daycare 9am-6pm or stay overnight for a boarding stay. 

Remember to make sure that all candy is a safe distant away from dogs.  Many of our sweet delicious treats are hazardous to our pups can in fact cause them to become extremely sick.

Xylitol is a 5-carbon sugar alcohol used as a sweetener that’s in sugar-free gums, candies, and baked goods.  When a dog ingests Xylitol it can cause vomiting, collapsing, loss of coordination, seizures, and in severe cases liver failure.  It many cause symptoms will develop within 15-30 minutes of ingestion.  However sometimes symptoms can be delayed for up to 12 hours.


If you think your dog may have ingested something call your veterinarian or if it is after hours call one the local emergency veterinarian offices.  Westfield Veterinary Group & Wellness Center is located at 562 Springfield Ave in Westfield (908)232-1048, they’re open 24/7.  Animal Emergency & Referral Associates is located at 1237 Bloomfield Ave in Fairfield (973)788-0500.  Oradell Animal Hospital located at 580 Winters Ave in Paramus (201)262-0010.  Red Bank Veterinary Hospital offers 24-Hour Emergency and Critical Care and has five locations throughout NJ (732)747-3636.
