A few weeks ago when Lilo was competing at Pets in the Park, I spoke with one of the reps for Verus Pet Foods. I made mention that Lilo was on Verus and we started talking. I noticed that the food bags that were on the table was the new flavor line. Lilo started smelling the table so I told her that none of these were her flavor. After talking a little bit more the rep said that they are having a hard time to get the people who are feeding the old line onto the new line and wanted to know what my thoughts were. My personal reason for not switching was the calorie count change. We would go from 359 kcal ME/cup to 485 kcal ME/cup. That’s a major difference for us since I base her food off of the activity she does that day. A lazy day around the house she may only get 1/2 cup a meal and she would probably look at me and think I’m cheating her! So the rep had a little challenge for me. She wanted me to give it a try and see how Lilo does with it and how it benefits her. Now after being on it for a few weeks I am surprisingly shocked with how well she is doing on it. She has picked up a little weight but still fit, her body is retaining more of the protein, she has more energy to be able to get up and go and her muscles are stronger. I am very shocked because I was so admit about not switching because of the changes and now I am so happy she is in the new recipe. Who knows maybe she will be jumping into the Elite category again!
