Changing my dog’s diet from a well-known “name brand” food to VéRUS has completely changed her life.  She used to have dandruff, eye discharge, and upset stomach constantly.  I talked with a local natural pet food store, and they suggested VéRUS Life Advantage Chicken and Oats formula.  It was a miracle – my dog’s eyes and coat have cleared, and she is no longer sick to her stomach.  The changes are AMAZING, and I know that she is living healthier, longer, and better because of your food.  Thank you!!!

Hi my name is Bella. I'm a 3 year old St.Bernard. Some people may consider me a local celebrity. I have been featured on a billboard for a local pet store. I even have a fan club who come into the store to see me. To keep myself looking good and healthy, my managers and I have chosen VéRUS dog food, specifically the Opticoat. My family has a history of chronic skin and coat issues. Once they saw how great this food makes my coat, they too have switched to the VéRUS. 

I believe they were just misinformed in the past about quality foods. They believed the grocery store foods were healthy. They didn't realize the corn and fillers in the food caused allergies, and even required us to eat more of the food to get the same nutrients. So in the long run, VéRUS is not any more expensive then the "bargain" foods.

The fish oils have helped my skin and coat so much, i hate to brag but I'm the best looking pup in the family. I'm picky about my food, so that why I have chosen VéRUS Opticoat.

In a rescue setting, we are constantly looking for products that will
promote the best health and wellness in our animals.  Unfortunately,
cost and time are always a factor since most rescues, including my own,
work on a meager budget and with an even smaller staff.

Most of our rescues come to us with some kind of health issues.  We
strived to find a better dog food that could perhaps help us address
some of their ailments without subjecting the animals to invasive
treatments, medications or injections.

After a great deal of research, VéRUS was recommended to us.  Upon
crunching the numbers, we were astounded to find that we could feed our
dogs VéRUS for mere pennies a day!  Our board decided to give VéRUS a
two-month trial period.  We started by switching half of the rescue over
gradually, while the remainder of the animals continued to be fed the
previous brand.

The changes in the animals who were fed VéRUS were dramatic.  The dogs
who had skin issues began to experience clearer, less irritated skin.
In addition, stomach ailments seemed to settle and bowels were more
infrequent.  The dogs eating VéRUS ate less; their coats and overall
appearance also improved.

Today, all of our rescues, as well as our pets, are eating VéRUS daily.
We are thrilled that we gave VéRUS a try--it has resulted in the dogs
feeling better and less work for us, which is always a plus.  We have
established VéRUS as our recommended brand to adopters and we're glad
that most continue to use it.

Thank you for a great product!  We will continue to use (and promote) it
in the future!

I have finally found a food that Bradshaw will eat. VéRUS  is the only food that he actually waits at his bowl for. Regardless of what I fed him, I normally had to coax him to eat, or add something to it. I had him on every possible food I could think of. I have chosen to feed him the opticoat

I wanted a high quality food for him. VéRUS was was suggested by friends who have a German Shepherd. My brother also feeds his dog VéRUS. I am very pleased with this food and I am recommending it  to other people who are looking for a quality food for their dogs and or cats.

I cannot thank you enough for this product. I know Bradshaw is happy too!  :)

Many Thanks

I have had my dog since Oct 2010 and I immediately put him on VéRUS.  He is an English Cocker Spaniel that I got from the Arlington Welfare League. People always comment on how soft his coat is and how healthy he looks.  I am so pleased with VéRUS for the quality ingredients, the price, and mostly the results.  My dog, Axel Rose loves it!!

We switched over to VéRUS after a lot of research. When we called, you gave us advice on which product we should try, saying our almost 7 yr old pup might even be more energetic. Were you ever right! She is so happy and loves her food. We couldn't be happier. Thank you!

I have 3 dogs and just started using VéRUS. I have gone through 2 bags now. I have one female yellow lab who had itchy skin, shedding alot and she had very, very soft stools. I have tried numerous different dog foods costing anywhere from $40-85 a bag. This is the first dog food I have had her on that she hasn't had soft stools. Also she doesn't seem to itch nearly as much as she has in the past & she doesn't seem to be shedding nearly as much. I just want to say thank you. I am so glad I came across this dog food when I was researching on the internet. Again, thank you.

"Thank you so much for your help.  Choosing a good food for my dog is extremely stressful for me and I truly appreciate your kindness in responding to my email with such a complete answer.  It really means a lot to me that you would take the time to explain all of the factors. I sent basically the same email to 4 companies and your company is the only one that has responded. Please know that there are many consumers like me who are grateful for reliable answers to questions as we search for quality food for our pets."

I started feeding Opticoat to my Greater Swiss Mountain dog several years ago. He displayed signs of atopy and had never had a normal formed stool. Since Hannibal has eaten exclusively Opticoat, he has a beautiful hair coat, no more signs of allergy and a normally formed stool. Now all my dogs eat Opticoat! They love the taste. They are in great health. It is a dense food and so they have to eat relatively less. Their feces are small in volume. I love the short ingredient list which is actually understandable for anyone. I recommend VéRUS for my patients who need to improve the quality of their diet and as an excellent therapy in the management of food allergy and an ancillary treatment in the management of atopy. I love that VéRUSpetfoods is a locally based company that manufactures high qualitypet food for a reasonable price. Thank you!!!!

We have 2 pugs, Charlotte(2 yrs) and Mojo(6yrs). We have given Charlotte this food since she was a pup. Her coat is amazing and my vet says charlotte is one of the healthiest dogs she has ever seen. Mojo, who we recently rescued, is doing well with VéRUS. When we brought him home his nails were brittle and breaking and he had a hard time digesting food. His coat was rough looking. Now our mojo looks happy and healthy!! He has no probs with digestion and his nails are strong and his coat is healthy looking. We would not give our babies anything other than VéRUS. We tell everyone about this food. We appreciate the care given to what is important for a healthy dog.

Thank you for a great product!!!!

I adopted my dog Lucy from an organization called Focus on Homeless Animals. When I got her, she weighed 10lbs. They were feeding her [P] in the shelter, so that is what I bought for her, but it was making her sick. So I switched to [CS] food, then [W], and finally VéRUS. VéRUS is the only food that doesn't make her sick! She is now a happy and healthy 17 lbs, with a beautiful coat! People always comment about how healthy she looks and how shiny her coat is! 

I actually just bought Reese her first bag of VéRUS Feline.  Lucy has been on it since September and Reese started on it this weekend!  I started mixing it with her old food, and she picked out all of the VéRUS and left her old food!  I was concerned it would happen the other way!  She also was from the same rescue group, and she wasn't sick like Lucy, so I wanted to get her situated to her new home before switching her food, I've only had her for a few months and I didn't want to do it all at once.  But so far, we are loving VéRUS feline too!

Thanks!

Our australian shepherds love it and i have seen a difference in their skin and less drainage from their eyes! Not to mention stool improvement.

When we got him he was having MAJOR diarrhea, he didn’t come with any food and they said they were feeding him Iams puppy sensitive food. So I had a bag of Science Diet here so I started him on that, I know better, my other Grey Fusion is on Fromms which is a good food but a little pricy, so I was looking for something not as expensive but good for him. I stopped at the Shops Pets Purfur in Reading which is only 5 minutes from my house but I was never there. The staff there helped me out greatly, I purchased a bag of Chicken meal oats and brown rice, fed him 50-50 that night, and the next day his stools were so much better, its been four days now and he’s such a different dog already, thank you for having such a great product.

Steven- Birdsboro, PA

I just wanted to let you know how much we love your dog food! My sister swears by your food, so when we adopted our dog last year we decided to try your product. Our dog is a Wheaten Terrier mix, a breed that is prone to food allergies. When our Elvis came home, his skin was very dry & flaky. After a few weeks of using your [Life Advantage] chicken formula, it completely cleared up. His coat is absolutely gorgeous now. It was the best decision we made. I would highly recommend your food! Thank you again!

My husband and I do not eat processed Fast Food so, we did not want to give our pets unhealthy "junk" food. We started using verus a few years ago when one of my pets was diagnosed with Kidney Disease.  The vet wanted us to feed her a special canned food purchased through him but she refused to eat it.  Basically, it was processed food with added fish oil.  While searching online for all natural food, I found verus.  We have 5 cats and I am a caretaker of a feral.  They all get verus and no one tries to bury it like they would with the other foods. I am happy knowing that our pets are getting quality and healthy food

She was diagnosed with diabetes about 3 years ago. I gave her 5 units of insulin twice a day. Initially she ate the Hill’s for diabetic cats. Then I found Superior Pet and bought VéRUS Feline holistic cat food. It was 2006, I switched to VéRUS and after two small bags she was stable at 2 units once a day. Since she began eating this wonderful food, she is more alert, more active and her fur is like down. I am thrilled that she needs so little insulin. I know that the longer she eats VéRUS Pet Food, the healthier she becomes. Thanks for a fantastic and tasty food for my girl.

Julie, Narberth PA

We ruled out fleas and other allergens and finally I decided to switch to a better grade of dog food, and picked VéRUS due to having a distributor in our local Kennel Club.  Not only does her coat look wonderful but also the itching has stopped completely!  She rarely scratches if at all.  I tested this recently when I ran out of VéRUS and used another high protein food and the scratching began again.   Obviously she has some allergy to something in the ‘cheaper’ made dog foods.  Hats off to VéRUS.  It keeps my dogs very healthy!  And now that she’s pregnant, I will recommend VéRUS to all my puppy buyers.

Patches is 7 years old. He was a very picky eater but VéRUS Chicken Meal Oats and Brown Rice changed all that. He loves his VéRUS!

I know VéRUS has made two big improvements in our dogs.  For Roxie, the Boston, she has never been smoother or more soft.  Her coat feels like satin and that has only been since she went on VéRUS a year ago.  Prior to that she was eating another higher quality brand and wasn't as shiny. 

The Boxer is a foster that was adopted that ate VéRUS too.  Parker had horrible eyes when we got him as a foster and after a couple weeks on VéRUS, his eyes cleared up and he no longer had constant eye boogers and staining on his face.

Owner, Bag of Bones Barkery, Hamilton, NJ

As a retailer offering more than 30 premium brands of all-natural pet food, I feel confident saying that when it comes to dog food, it takes more than it used to to impress me enough to bring a brand into my store. With so many options for consumers popping up every month in the pet food segment, it seems like everyone has done everything there is to do.

Yet, even with so much competition, bringing VéRUS into our store a few years ago was a no-brainer. Yes, I said a few years ago. And it’s still here because it has earned its place here and continues to do so.

Let’s face it. The VéRUS brand, although growing across the nation, isn’t one you see on every shelf in every pet store. It’s not known for flashy marketing or nationwide television ads. But we, and our customers, like it that way. Because instead of placing their focus on all of that “stuff,” VéRUS puts their money where it matters – into the quality of their products.

Quite often, when we mention VéRUS to a customer, we hear things like “Yes, VéRUS. I’ve heard that’s an excellent food,” or “My friend told me to look for that.” It’s catching on. And a brand that doesn’t advertise heavily or put itself into the faces of prospective customers grows because of results. Tangible results. Over and over and over again, customers return to our store raving about the results they have seen in their pets’ overall health since a switch to VéRUS. They tell us how they appreciate the simple, healthy, natural ingredients contained in both the dry and canned foods, and they also feel the variety within the line addresses many of the common issues addressing today’s pets. Using many different proteins, such as lamb, chicken and even fish, VéRUS now even offers grain-free canned formulas, which have been a popular addition to our store’s offerings and remain one of the more popular canned formulas in the store.

To be completely honest, as a brand VéRUS has one of the most loyal customer bases in our store. Most people who try VéRUS stick with VéRUS. Because it works. Because it’s a quality product line. Because it performs the way it’s marketed to perform. And because even with all of these wonderful benefits, it still remains one of the best overall valued foods that we sell. From a retailer’s standpoint, VéRUS is definitely line you’ll want to have in your store. It’s not an incredible amount of SKUs to take in, it provides a great value for your customers, and it’s a brand that you will NOT find in big box retailers. The company support is tremendous, as VéRUS has partnered with us for nearly EVERY event and/or sale we’ve held in our store for years. VéRUS truly knows what it means to build partnerships that build brands. You won’t be disappointed if you add VéRUS to your shelves. It’s worth every bit of shelf space.

I have used nothing but verus for over 3 years now for all my cats as that is what they were being feed at the rescue I adopted from. This is a great program and I truely would like to thank Jersey State feline fanciers for recomending verus and help them in the work they do.

VeRus has been a great food for my three labrador retrievers, Emma, Lacey and Dobson.  Emma competes in agility and needs to be in tip top shape to run fast and run clean.  She also suffers from food allergies and VeRus Menhaden Fish and Potato has been wonderful for her.  She hasn't been bothered with her allergies and her coat is thick and shiny.  Lacey is my therapy girl and she constantly gets comments of how soft, thick and shiny her coat is, when she visits with patients and children, during our therapy sessions.  I also volunteer for a local rescue and adopted Dobson.  His coat was unhealthy and patchy.  After a few weeks, on VeRus, his coat filled in and was shiny and soft.  When I foster dogs, from the rescue, I feed them VeRus.  They all love the taste and the improvement in their coats and health, in just a short time, is amazing!!

Thank you!

We LOVE VeRus dog food. So far we have had wonderful results.  All three of our shelties have shown positive results from eating your food. Their coats are shinnier, their energy has increased (if that can even be imagined considering how active shelties are) and our sick little guy has started to blossom and show his true personality. you so much!!! We are so very thrilled with the results.

Again, thank you so much. Your product is amazing and your customer service is second to none!!!!

The urgency that your company exhibited in getting the brown rice tested as soon as they became aware of a potential arsenic threat is impressive as is YOUR very quick reply to my inquiry.  THANK YOU SO MUCH for putting my fears to rest ! Our Shelties are our family & deserve the best we can give them which is why I will continue to trust VéRUS products as their main diet !!!!!

My CH. Jade Mist to Have & To Hold (Lexus) co-owned with Carol Howell of Jade Mist Shetland Sheepdog fame has prodigy  still out there making their mark on breed history!). I have loved & shared my home with a quantity of these wonderful dogs for most of my life...I  was first acquainted with VéRUS through Natural Animal Nutrition (NAN) who delivered to the Eastern Shore area breeders in the 1990's. I now purchase all of my VéRUS at Concord Pets located in Dover Delaware. We use VéRUS Life Advantage Chicken & Brown Rice as our mainstay dry food, but my girls LOVE VéRUS canned (Garden Select,especially!) as a mixer !!!!

We PROUDLY testify to the commitment of quality nutrition that is the VéRUS trademark !!!!!

Our 6yo bull terrier, was just found to be highly gluten intolerant. She also needed a low protein dog food, due to kidney issues. VéRUS has been the only food that I give her, and she is doing so well since starting it. Thank you VéRUS!!!

William and Harry have been eating VéRUS since they were started on food at the Last Chance Ranch prior to us adopting them.  They were found when 1-2 days old during the week of the royal wedding and brought into the ranch.  They were both bottle fed in a foster home until they were large enough to come to their forever home.  This little royal pair has spunk and energy which comes from the food they eat.  They started on VéRUS at the shelter and we love it for the cranberry to keep their urinary tract systems super healthy !

Hello – I have American Bulldogs named Georgia and Stella.  They are both VéRUS dogs and one of Georgia’s puppy pictures (No problem transitioning)  is also featured in the testimonial sections.  You can see how great she has grown eating VéRUS.  Georgia will be 2 years old in April.  Our newer addition is Stella who is 8 months old and she LOVES VéRUS just as much as Georgia!!  They are both on Life Advantage and love it!  We have never had a problem with either dog from day 1!!!! Both of their coats are terrific too!   Thank you for providing such great products!!!!

I "discovered" your food through the annual dog food article in Whole Dog Journal.  Our local distributor, Concord Pet, carries your food and they have stores throughout the whole state of Delaware so our foster families throughout the state can easily purchase VéRUS.  The foster dogs all seem to love it, and it has done amazing things for their coats and skins.  

I have 3 greyhounds as personal pets and our family almost always has a foster and we go through a 40 lb. bag of VéRUS in a little less than 3 weeks.  And because your food is so good, I actually use less VéRUS than I did with other brands of food. 

Thanks for making such a terrific product!

This is Rocky. We take great care of him. He's like our only child. We took him to the vet about a month and a half ago for a check up and spent a lot of money and all I could do is smile and say, "At least he's healthy. Ya can't put a price on that." He became allergic to his food and got bald spots, which is one of the reasons we took him. The Vet put rocky on antibiotics and a steroid. We realized we didn't really want our dog on medicines so we decided to try VéRUS. Its a bit pricier than what we're used to but it lasts longer than his 40 lb bag of ********. I put him on opticoat to promote hair growth, clear up his tear stains and help the biting of his paws. His bald spots are gone, he's less gassy and his coat is so shiny. I only pay about 20 extra vs ******** and for how great his skin and coat looks its worth every penny. I'm so glad I switched him to VéRUS. It was totally worth it!

Thanks VéRUS!

This litter is exceptional.  They were all within 3 ounces either way of a pound at birth.  The vet questioned us on how old they were when we took them in for their dew claw removal and baby exam.  He thought they were a week old.  The weights at 6 weeks were between 9 and 11 pounds.  Beautiful, soft coats...happy, healthy puppys.

Thanks again for making such a great product,

Hi Everyone,

I would like for you to know that my cat Lindsay is improving daily. I'm adding dry VéRUS cat food slowly into her diet.

She is on only one third VéRUS and I see an improvement in her coat, her playfulness and her personality in general. I have added VéRUS only less than two weeks ago.

I'm still adding a high fiber food in there are well for bowel movement purposes and will eventually see if I can switch her totally to VéRUS.

Thank you Russel for spending so much time with me on the phone last week.

I also purchased a cat water fountain which I will hook up soon.

Thank you for an awesome product. We could not be more thrilled with the options and choices available to us in feeding our crew of 21. VéRUS food quality is so important though the real key for me is the support of Rescues!! I only wish more companies in the US and the World would help shelters and rescues more, having worked in a shelter for many years I can tell you it would ease far more than most of the public will ever understand.

We recently received Samples of your foods through Puppy Tails in York PA. I must say, my cats and dog LOVED it beyond words!! I was thrilled! I adore your program to help rescues and thank you with my whole heart for supporting those whom have no voice and the people who help these amazing animals!

We are so proud to now me VéRUS Supporters and Feeders!! What a Wonderful All Natural Diet for our Furkids!!

Many Thanks,

You may be interested to know that our breeder put a paragraph in our purchase contract specifying dog food.  Maybe that is common and all breeders do that, I don't know, but it said something to the effect that we must feed quality food, such as VéRUS, or the breeder would not take the dog back if there was some problem.  She said to keep receipts to prove our quality food.  All her puppies were fed VéRUS and she sent some home with us when we picked our pup up.  We continued to use it b/c it is a good product, our dog LOVES it and b/c his coat is glorious.

Thanks, again!

Until this year everyone was amazed at his seemingly endless amount of energy - especially when we told them his age.  He suddenly started to lose weight and his stool became very loose.  After many visits to the vet and various tests, he was deemed a mystery and we where told it was most likely the early signs of cancer.  The only test we had not done was a full body MRI.  Upon further investigation on my own and the recommendation of your food by my dog trainer, I now have my boy back.  He has definitely slowed down some - he is approaching 13 in a couple months, but he has put the weight back on and his stool is back to normal.  Thank you so much for your wonderful products!  I have started my new GSD on it also and am switching my cats over as well.

Forever Grateful, Danelle

We started feeding Chance VéRUS kibble after it was recommended to us at a local speciality pet store.  Chance developed a habit of “scooting” and we asked the pet store if they had anything that could help.  They indicated a switch in his food would influence this behavior and recommended VéRUS.  The issue was resolved immediately after switching! Since the switch, we have run out of food on occasion and had to pick up a small bag of food from the grocery store until we could make it to the speciality pet store.  Each time, the scooting has returned.  Clearly, the food makes a huge difference in my dog’s quality of life and I feel much better about feeding him VéRUS over other brands!

My Matches is a very picky eater.  I used to have to sit with him while he ate and occasionally put a finger in the bowl to stir his food around and happy talk him into eating.  VerRus sure changed all that.  Now when I am measuring out his kibble, he is doing a happy dance.  He takes a couple of supplements and a thyroid pill twice daily.  I just drop them in the bowl undisguised and he woofs them right down with the VéRUS.

My groomer compliments me on the quality of his hair every time she grooms him.

We've tried many different dog foods claiming to be top dog foods and have had many issues (some of which were digestive issues, weight gain, skin problems) but VéRUS has been the only one that works for both our dogs. Our lhasa is 9 1/2 yrs and our newfoundland is 8 mths. The newfie has had terrible digestive issues since we got him at 6 1/2 mths. He was on [P P] Shredded Chicken Variety. He was on chicken and rice for a couple weeks to get his digestive system calmed down. When we fully put him on the VéRUS Chicken Meal, Oats, and Brown Rice it cleared right up (it took about a week of slowly adding VéRUS it to the chicken and rice). They're both maintaining their proper weight without increasing exercise or cutting back on the amount they eat, they both have great shiny coats without adding anything more to their diet, no more digestive issues or loose stools, less stool to clean up, and proper energy levels. It's been a winning situation for us!

This is Corpsman (Dobe) and Brewtus (min Pin). After 8 trips to the vet in 2003 with my Dobe for digestion problems. Vomiting, loose stool ect. Went through anti-biotics, meds steroids ect and really pricey unhealthy foods. A friend recommended Crunchies in Crofton. I explained problem, VéRUS was recommended and Problem solved. He has been my demo dog (I'm a trainer) and works doing search and rescue for lost pets.

Thanks verus! You have a customer for life!

Your VéRUS Canine Dog Food Canned and Kibble was recommended by a local specialty store. I thought, why not give this a try. As soon as I opened the can Zorro came into the kitchen to see what I was preparing for him. He took one sniff and devoured the entire bowl! I could not believe this didn’t even smell like regular dog food. It has been about four months now and the difference in his coat is unbelievable. His fur just glistens. His eyes shine. This is the best dog food I have ever given to my pet. Zorro is a happy dog!

Thank you,

Our Mascot, Stevie, is a blind Springer spaniel.. behaviour, skin issues, ear infections, and watering eyes plagued him until our switch in dog food.... He enjoys his food so much he sniffs around other bowls when they are out for play time to see who didn't finish their meals!!!

The following is taken from an email received from our Lithuanian distributor...

"The Dog's name is GRANTAS. 6 month ago Grantas had very serious problems with the skin.
He had some sores on his skin. We suggested to feed Grantas with Advanced Opticoat, after 3 months situation was much better. Then Grantas was eating Adult/Maintenance. Now he is on the Life Advantage.
Coat looks perfect, skin is healthy as well.
The owner says: we don't need to use drugs, we need to find the right food and all problems will be solved!

Thank you so much for the VéRUS!

The dog Grantas Kalnu Vejas is LT Champion!"

Personally I think it is MAGIC

I switched my dogs to VeRus after the Maryland picnic and the presentation on dog foods. My husband and I own 11 dogs and usually have around 10 fosters at the house at a time...that means we go thru many many pounds of dog food.

I cannot believe the changes in my dogs since I switched to the VeRus.  My springer, Oliver, who has very bad hips and bad knees has lost six pounds.  I have been trying to get weight off of him for 2 years and just could not make it happen.  In addition, Oliver had several patches of hair that looked dead and dry on his back.  These have almost disappeared.  Oliver's energy levels are way up and I have been able to reduce the amount of pain medication he receives. 

Sharee, my oldest girl, has had skin issues for years.  I was constantly trying to figure out how to stop her from being so itchy to the put she would chew raw patches on herself.  Her skin is now in fantastic shape and she is no longer itchy.  Her hair had become several shades darker liver.  Her eyes are clearer. 

Wendy Pepper, our blind cocker, does not get much exercise and so was getting way too chunky.  She has lost 3 pounds.

I can tell you it is not because I am feeding the dogs less....because I free feed (which means I have food constantly available so they eat when and as much as they want).  I have seen really fantastic results from the VeRus.  I do not usually get into the food discussions, because I know that everyone has their own opinions on food, but I just cannot believe the changes in all my dogs.

Cheyenne (lab/boxer) is a mixed breed that I rescued. She loovveeess food. Her coat was dull when I first got her though. She was on Beneful for the first 2 years of her life. Once we realized how little of nutritional value the food was, we immediately started researching for a better food. My sister in law told us about VéRUS. We put her on the Advanced Opticoat (fish) formula which did wonders for her coat. She also suffered from UTI's often but since she's switched to VéRUS, we have had no issues.

I would like to thank you for being supportive of rescues. I have been doing volunteering with MAESSR for several years now and when we were offered Oreo in September we were thrilled. Oreo is a 5-year old ESS that was found as a stray in West Virginia. He had so much pine sap and had been "skunked" that he needed to be shaved and his stomach and legs were raw from the pine sap. I have been using VéRUS for almost 2 years with my 11-year old and of course I started Oreo on it when he came to live with us. I am attaching some photos to let you know how happy he and Maggie are that they are being fed VéRUS!

This is Tully, my verus fed "Springador". He's going to be 9 in January. Note that glassy coat! Before VéRUS his coat had gotten dull and the undercoat was dry. Now it's silky soft and everyone who meets him comments on how glassy and glowing it is!

I switched my black lab Finn McCool to VeRus after a recommendation for his reaccuring ear infections. Not only are we finally wining the ear battle, but I've noticed a pep in his step, and his coat is like ink!! It may cost me a wee but more, but saving me in vet bills!!! Thank you VeRus!!!!

I am a  local k-9 officer and my partner "Johnny" is a 8 year old German Shepherd.

I have worked with Johnny for four years and was introduced to VéRUS from a co-worker.

I have fed Johnny VéRUS Life Advantage for 3 1/2 years and feed my personal dog "Jake" Life Advantage as well.

Johnny has had no health issues and still does well for an old guy.

Our English Lab Mo loves his VéRUS food so much he went for crumbs in the bottom of the bag last week - search for Mo the Hungry Dog on YouTube. We have had dogs for 40 years and VéRUS is the best of all foods. We mix chicken and fish and potatoes for healthy coats and great energy.

Two months ago Maxx (Wally IV 2008) was at the Vets for an ear infection. 

Yesterday he was back for his wellness visit and because he gets a little nervous our Vet always spends some time petting him.  She couldn't get over how soft and shiny his coat had gotten.  She asked if we had changed food.  Maxx just started on his third bag of Versus so that had worked really quickly.

I was embarrassed that neither I nor Steve noticed it until she pointed it out.  But I guess our excuse is we see him everyday.  Anyway thanks for the advise on the food and we are saving the upcs.

Our vet was also hoping this will help with his sometimes itchy spells.

I used to feed []. Now I feed VéRUS, it has more to offer, and my dogs really like the food. The only reason I am still feeding [ ] is because one of my bitches is nursing right now, and it was the only food I could get on short notice at the time. I have not yet fed the VéRUS puppy food, but my dogs love the VéRUS adult food. I have to say I am really picky about what my dogs eat, and I think that so far, VéRUS is the best food I have ever fed. Thanks

Hi, I am a pet owner of four dogs and a cat, three large breed and a Persian. I buy pet food about three times a month for the dogs and once a month for the cat. I have recently been introduced to VéRUS after NUMEROUS problems with other foods with my dogs. This is a hit and seems to work for them all (Pit Bull, American Bulldog, Pomeranian, Bernese Mountain Dog). As they are all therapy dogs, it is imperative that they have good food to keep their coats in tip top shape, even with their weekly bathing. We have tried **, **, **, and **, and this is the first food I really love and really seems to not cause upset stomachs.

He was very underweight (58 pounds) and his teeth were "much older than his age," according to the vet, so who knows what he was fed? After I started him on a "high-quality" commercial pet food, a dear friend recommended VéRUS. I purchased a bag of Adult Maintenance kibble, and because he needed to gain weight on a slow, healthy schedule, I also bought the canned lamb and rice (for his coat) and chicken and rice. Well, he is now up to 72 pounds, and he is so shiny and beautiful that people stop me on the street to comment on how he gleams! He NEVER scratches, he has NO allergies and he is as full of life and energy as a young black lab should be (god help my back!!). THANK YOU for all you do! Topper is the world to me and it gives me joy to know I am feeding him the very best I can buy.

Wendy A, Wynnewood PA

Whatever they ate, came back up from time to time. I went to Superior Pet, Havertown, PA and learned about VéRUS.  In the past three years, I no longer clean up hairballs, etc. and they can keep it down! They all look beautiful as well. Now that we have two dogs, of course they're on VéRUS as well.

A friend of ours has a cat who suffered terrible for 11 years with sinus problems and needed antibiotics EVERY DAY. I told him about VéRUS and he also went to Superior Pet and decided to try it. It's been almost a year and Butterscotch is no longer sneezing and antibiotics are a thing of the past!

Thank you for making such a wonderful food.

Georgia, our American Bulldog, loves VéRUS! I was concerned with how she was going to handle the transition to it since her breeder had her on a different brand food. We had no problems at all with the transition and her coat looks terrific. Georgia has loved VeRus since day one and we would recommend it to any pet owner.

I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how pleased I am that I sell VéRUS Pet Foods. 
VéRUS Pet Foods, without a doubt, can stand toe to toe with the best, natural-premium pet foods available.  There have been countless numbers of customers reporting back to my store that their dog's (and cat's) health has improved by switching to and using VéRUS. 
VéRUS is, in a good way, the best kept secret in the industry.  As owner of an independent pet food store, I always look for products of quality and exclusivity-- VéRUS fills both of those requisites.  Having my business in close proximity to several  "box" and independent pet food stores, I need a product line like VéRUS Pet Foods which is priced right and of uncompromising quality.
Thank you for being a company of dependability and integrity--which for me is the mark of an industry leader!

We recently switched all 6 of our furry family members to VéRUS due to a very picky Chihuahua. Since the switch she eats, with no problem and seems to love it.  Our older female greyhound always seemed hungry on the other food but with VéRUS she seems content and satisfied.  Our male greyhound has been shedding like crazy for quite some time but with VéRUS he has almost stopped shedding completely.  We have always had our pups on high quality food but this food is far superior to any we've tried before.  Dyer, Tiara, Ki, Idle, Dolce & Gabanna want to thank VéRUS for making such a great product.

Tara-  Wilkes Barre, PA

The before and after photos of one of my Bulldog Health www.BulldogHealth.com customers who started feeding VéRUS are remarkable. His coat, the mark of good dog health, is now shiny and rich and no more gassiness. She liked it so much she is now a dealer in Lituania, called Vaizdinys. Great food is the cornerstone of dog health and VéRUS is a great food.

I just wanted to let you know that the packaging you use for your dog food is awesome!!! We had 20lbs of dog food in our basement that survived through the 13ft of water we had from the Hurricane. It was in the water for 5 days and was completely dry on the inside. Thanks for such great packaging.

FINALLY FOUND A HIGH QUALITY DOG FOOD THAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR!!

I can't say enough about VéRUS Dog Food. Being a breeder for 10+ years, it was so nice to finally find a High Quality food at a reasonable price! I have tried several  brands of dog foods over the years but was never truly happy with any of them. After researching dog food once again I came across VéRUS. I liked what I saw- High Quality ingredients, real meat ( not by-products), no fillers,  no chemical preservatives, and made in the USA! I decided to give it a try. I switched a few of my dogs over to it. After a short time I did notice a difference in my dogs. They loved the taste and never left any in the bowl.  I could feed less and maintain the ideal body weight for each dog. There was less poop scooping (always nice). Their coats looked shinier and felt softer.  Overall health and appearance improved. I switched all my dogs over. It was so nice to only have to get two different kinds of food (adult + puppy) for all of my dogs. (old timers, studs, dams, and puppies). I highly recommend VéRUS Food to all of my puppy families!!

Thanks for a great food

My furbaby, Mellie a Pekingese Beagle who is 5 yrs. old and an extremely well behaved girl, was suffering allergic reactions to her dog food. She was itching like crazy and it was something she hadn't done in the past. Our local pet store owner Willa at Millville PET STOP gave us free samples of VéRUS to last us a full week. Within that week Mellie slowly but surely stopped scratching so much. And now after 2 months she is free from the annoying itching and she is full of energy again.
Thank you! You have a super product! I'm glad Willa had the knowledge about your products and spoke highly of them!

Gryffyn, our Boxer, was adopted back in May and was eating Lord knows what from the grocery store in his foster home.  His stools were a mess and were always runny.  His stools now are beautiful if I can actually say that about poop lol. 

Heather

July 2011

When we adopted him, his family had started him on VéRUS foods Life Advantage.  I agreed to continue feeding him this diet.  Brutus had runny eyes so, two months ago, I started feeding him the Opticoat.  I use two parts Life Advantage and one part Opticoat.

His eyes don't run anymore.  But additionally his coat is beautiful.  He is growing at a nice slow rate and weighs in at 140 pounds now with his spoiled self.  And what's more, because the food is so satisfying he doesn't knock over the trash looking for food (he still does it on occasion just for fun).

I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful product you have and how healthy it is for him!
In Love and Light,

We are a family owned kennel and feed our labs VéRUS religously and are very happy with the results!  Our dogs look amazing and have great coats and love the food and are very healthy!  We have in the past yr started buying it in bulk and selling to other customers who also have very active dogs like labs, shorthairs and springers.  They had tried all of the other foods and were not happy with the results and then they heard we had something new and are extremely happy with it!  We run our dogs in hunt tests and get alot of compliments on how good our dogs look and have passed on our experience with VéRUS foods. We are truly satisfied with VéRUS foods!

We are the South Paw Pet Resort located at 8004 Burnt Mill Rd in Willards Maryland 21874.  Our website link is below our signature.  NAN is our VéRUS distributor and not only do we recommend and sell your products to our clients we also use VéRUS Chicken and Brown Rice formula as our house food at the resort.  We love your product and the dogs love it too.

We were introduced to VéRUS about 8 months ago and decided to change the food we feed our own black labs (Gabbie and Webb) from Origen to VéRUS Menhaden and Potato.  We are thrilled with the results.  Since that time we have been promoting VéRUS to our clients at the resort.  We feel great offering VéRUS knowing it's a premium quality food at a price point that works.  Thank you for producing a great product and making it here at home in the USA.

Sincerely,

I stumbled upon VéRUS Pet Foods about 8 years ago because I had a dog who was a very poor keeper. Although he was healthy otherwise, he would not gain weight. I had struggled with a variety of highly recommended foods with limited success and I wanted something I could feed all my dogs. I was impressed and have stayed with the food ever since. I highly recommend it to all of my clients and am a huge fan of the Menhaden Fish and Potato, which I feed as a maintenance diet to all of my boarding dogs.

A sincere thank you for making a quality product that I can safely suggest to my clients affected by the recent recalls!
