Julia started researching the perfect choices for wholesome pet food. “I tried a couple other brands and I wasn’t happy. They said they were fresh but they often had freezer burn, and I thought: how long was this in a warehouse if it already has freezer burn?” And Chloe could be a choosy eater, so it was arduous to get her to take the herbs and drugs, even in meals.

I try to really tell everyone – fresh food might not always be the cheapest, but consider what you’re feeding them. If your animals are your family, and you knew what was in regular dog food, you really wouldn’t feed that to family. We’re so careful about what we put in our bodies, but people don’t realize that most dog food has a lot of stuff that is horrible.”

I had always loved all my dogs… well, I get it now. I love all my dogs tremendously. But this one. She’s the one.”
Julia believes Chloe wouldn’t be right here right now to share her story if it weren’t for Nom Nom. “We are so appreciative for the quality of food. It’s fresh and it’s SO healthy. We are thankful to all of you. Everyone is so responsive and helpful. You walk the walk, and it shows.”
