Get Over! is fantastic!

Fab Champ!

Dear CSJ team

At the ripe old ages of 11 (ish) and 13 (ish) switching to a new food was no trouble with regards to introducing it slowly (too slowly as far they are concerned!) and Dem Bones are a wonderful incentive for them to not "forget” their recall and training – or even just remind them what good dogs they are really!

Incidentally after today's delivery – my third – the driver asked me about the food and will be telling his daughter all about it for her staffy!

My response was - I now buy a better food at a cheaper price and more conveniently than if I popped down to PaH to buy Chappie/Bonkers/Pedigree!!

Thank you for a good food at an excellent price and brilliant delivery service.

Wolfdogs are little Champs!

I have just raised a litter of British Wolfdogs on CSJ Little Champ and have been really pleased with the result. The puppies thrived throughout and were happy to tuck in from two weeks of age! The puppies' Mum, Asia, was fed on Champ and kept her weight and looked well all the way through raising her pups - in fact she didn't look as though she has had a litter at all! My stockist, Carol, was wonderfully helpful and friendly too!I would thoroughly recommend csj to anyone!

Boy am I glad I changed to CSJ!

Hi Carol (Winfrow)
Here is a brief update on the dog food front:

I moved all 5 Australian Shepherds onto CSJ this summer after most of them had bad reactions to 'another' food they were on.

Badger my 7 yr old had IBS so I was very apprehensive about changing his food but put him on the CP21 to start.  Boy am I glad I did !!  His coat has never been in such good condition and he has actually gained weight. So much so we have had to put him on the Lamb Senior/ Lite. He has been fine on both foods with no tummy upsets.
Cody is my Blue merle boy who actually went a strange 'pinky tinge' when he was on the other food.  He now is back to his 'lavender blue' self and is dripping in coat - he even won Limit Dog at NASA's 1st Championship Show & Reserve Best Dog at Working & Pastoral Breeds Champ Show this November.
All the dogs are fed Lamb & Rice & Lamb Senior/Lite.
Will keep you updated!

Many Thanks

Fantastic product my dogs never looked better!

"The product I believe is by far one of the best products on the market. After trying all the well known brands, the dogs coats, digestive systems are superb and value for money is fantastic.

I wouldn't feed anything else and believe the product deserves better coverage."

CSJ gives team the 'winning edge'

Hi,

Only just got around to unpacking the van last night and found all the prize bags - will try some of the samples and let you know how we get on. Your advice is very much appreciated.

My team won our division at the weekend and we know that your food has given our dogs that "edge” we all look for. Especially Sky the spaniel - and height dog, who must run all day at his full height.

I was amazed how many people commented that he really seemed to be flying. My husband who runs him had to move back a few feet otherwise he would have got an early change! The only thing we have changed over the past month is his food!!!

So Winners of Division 17 Mansfield Mavericks send you a HUGE Thank you. Every race went to 5 legs and we had to fight for every race. VERY close racing. But our dogs had the energy and stamina they needed.

4 out of the 5 dogs in the team fed CSJ

Fastest time 19.73 secs.

Thanks again and I’ll let you know how we get on.

Truffle has 9 little Champs!

"Truffle has been fed solely on Champ throughout her pregnancy and like my other whippets had the occasional meal of tripe & chicken wings.

As you can see she had a wonderful litter of 9 healthy puppies and she is in fantastic condition. The puppies are about to be weaned onto soaked Little Champ in about 3 weeks"

The most expensive food is not always the best - as Byron knows!

One of our dogs went off to his foster home just before Christmas. He was thin when he came in, but we'd got the weight on him and when he was neutered he weighed 24kg. He went off on foster (along with his sack of Natural Champ!) just before Christmas, and came back about 3 weeks ago to meet a potential home.

His foster home stopped off on route to get his second vaccination. In between the foster home leaving the vets and getting to us, our vet nurse Danni phoned to say that Byron was stick thing and weighed just under 17kg! I was shocked and mortified! I promptly cancelled the potential home, wanting to investigate in case he had a medical issue....

When Byron and his foster mum arrived, he was ravonously hungry and immediately raided a bowl of Little Champ! we had down. I questioned his foster home and asked hadn't she noticed!?!?! I was furious!

It turned out she hadn't fed him his CSJ as instructed, but had put him on 'Xxxxx' because her other half thought it would be better for Byron and their dog to be on the same 'better quality' food - obviously because it is so bloody expensive, it must be better!!!! Their dog has also lost weight. I asked her to show me exactly what she was feeding Byron a day, and she showed me - she was sticking to the recommended amounts given on the back. I told her Byron would be having more than that for his breakfast alone here! He's not a greedy pig and would only eat what he wanted. He immediately came back and went onto his CSJ. I'm happy to say, Byron is now back to just under 24kg - we weighed him last night.

I won't do that again!!

Hi Ceri,

I thought I would email to let you know I've just put another order through. A friend bought our last bag so we haven't ordered for ourselves for a while.
The reason I am emailing is that we chose to try a bag of biscuits which were not CSJ and were from a local store. I am amazed at the difference in my dog's coat, health and smell (both fur and breath)!

When she was on the CSJ biscuits (probably for the last couple of years), people used to comment on how shiny her fur was. Her stools were always easy to pick up and her teeth were white. She's had ONE BAG (15kg) of different biscuits and her fur is dull and shedding. Her teeth are starting to go brown and she smells like an old dog. I am amazed as she's only 4 years old. I'm just hoping that some of the effects of the last lot of biscuits will be reversible with the CSJ!!

Have other people told you of such a big difference with biscuits? It really does appear that the poor biscuits have aged her! She's even sleeping more and for a border collie you'll know that's unusual in a young dog!  It's very strange in such a short period of time. What on earth do these companies use to make them??!

Regards,
Debbie B.

The poo eating has stopped!

Dear Ceri.

I am writing to say a huge thankyou!!!

Our 10month old choc lab has been a poo eater for almost the entire time we have had her (since 8wks old). We have tried everything we could think of seeking support from other owners of dogs that poo eat and vets, nutritionalists and behavouralists - and to be honest, had almost given up.

After speaking to a friend whose dog eats your food, we decided to look at your website and eventually spoke to you on the phone. We talked about our dogs (3 labs - all with different requirements) and home situation, as well as indepth diet discussions, and decided to try your advice (we had nothing to lose as it couldn't be any worse!).

I have to say, we are over the moon to be able to say IT WORKED! (in the first day!!) The poo eating has stopped and her stools have become more normal, and we can now finally begin to enjoy our gorgeous dog.

Thank you so much for treating us as individuals, and following us through a very stressful problem.

We will continue to follow your advice and will be recommending anybody with the same issues to yourselves.

If anyone is reading this and is having the same problem with a dog, dont give up. There is help out there, honest!!

Natalie

Your dog food is a blessing!

We tried all the expensive foods in an attempt to help our bearded collie who suffered terribly from loose bloody stools. Nothing worked until we tried your food for sensitive tums. She has never been better.

So not only are we saving on dog food, but also on vet bills!

 Thank you from Michelle and Milly the Beardie.

Champ to the Rescue!

Hi Ceri,

It is not often that you come across such good customer service these days so I thought I would give you an update…..and feel free to include any of it on your recommendations page.

I have been recommending it on the forum for NESSR and find several people are using Champ!

Our working strain Springers….all rescues:

Harry, (22 months) who is gluten intolerant…or at least has loose stools regularly if he has too much gluten in his food….is doing really well on the Lamb and Rice. He walks around whilst “going” less frequently and his stools are firmer. He has not had an anal gland problem since being on this food either. He has increased weight and, although still slim, is a fit boy whose muscle definition would be the envy of many athletes!! He lost weight for a while as he had a very severe reaction to an adder bite and was in the vet hospital for 5 days, but since then has put the weight back on so he is now almost 17kgs. He is very active.

Maddie (was 2 at the end of July) is the thin one, and despite being 18.5 “ is only not quite 14 kgs now. She is no longer “corrugated” along the ribs and is in peak condition on Champ.

Charlie, our stray, but probably was 2 around June/July) is a tall dog at 22.5” now has increased his weight from 19 kgs to about 21kgs and looks so glossy and fit. He is extremely fast and agile, but was too thin. Again Champ is great for him.

And our working strain Golden Retriever…also a rescue: Benson was 2 in mid July is very bouncy, but not as active as the springers on walks…..unless a person with light coloured clothing is in the distance…..! He came to us in April already on Champ. He has increased weight slightly as he needed to, but now must maintain this rather than increase further He is 31kgs and stands 24.5”….so not large as the show retrievers are, but big enough!

They all get bones and chicken wings to supplement and add interest every so often. I no longer feed the CP Xtra to the springers as they are maintaining the weight nicely on the Champ and L&R. The Xtra did the trick, though, in getting them started as nothing else (not even tripe) worked.

They all have beautiful coats now, have no tartar on their teeth and they are extremely fit dogs.

Best wishes

Julie

Improved coats

Hi
Thanks again for letting me get food so late in the evening(especially on a Sunday and mother's day too!) I told Jeff that I would send a photo of the wonderful improved coats of my setters since switching to the csj food!!  Here are the girls in bed today!! And one of the veteran Rua!! And of course Milo who is looking like a proper setter finally!!

Put on weight with CP21!

I've been trying to put weight on my rescue German Shepherd for two years without success, in spite of feeding premium foods, but am very pleased to say that since starting with CP21 (2 months ago) she has put on 6kg! And my whippet cross (also rescue) has put weight on too.

They both love it and are full of energy and look great.

Thanks very much.

Your products are fantastic!

Before, Ruby was nervous of strangers touching her and would hunch up when the judge came over to look at her and although she is still a little unsure she no longer hunches up and allows the judge to feel all over her body. FANTASTIC!

Now the Billy No Mates! Well, I take all 3 of my dogs for a mile walk through the woods every day and I must say I have not seen a tick, flea or anything and their coats are amazing. My Dachshund's coat is glowing and my Pomeranian's is glossy, but the biggest difference is my 14 yr old cocker spaniel who has had skin problems for years and, although this is not a cure for skin problems, I have noticed a huge difference in her coat. It's shining and looks healthy plus she is not itching at her back so thankyou so much. These products are fantastic!

I have now bought more Billy No Mates and I am going to try the Phantom Raspberry as my dachshund has phantom pregnancy and would prefer to try herbal remedy than the harsh vets medicine she had last time. I will let you know how she gets on she is due her next season in a couple of weeks.

Thanks again.

Mickey is now thriving on the CP21

Ceri, thank you soooo much for your professional, very valuable and helpful advice.

We have two dogs, Molly and Mickey, both are border collies and in their spare time are Berkshire Search and Rescue dogs:-)

Mickey, bless him, came to us six weeks ago, underweight and with very loose stools (mostly diarrhea and with blood in them).

Had all tests done, everything was fine, so we changed his food to CSJ CP21 and now he is putting on weight and looks a bill of health!!  Molly loves it too :-)

Its true 'we are what we eat'!

Thanks again

No longer 'Stinky Zo' - thanks to CSJ!

"Thank you for producing such great products."

Just a quick note to let you know how pleased we are with your product.  We recently picked up our doberman puppy whose breeder was feeding CSJ. All the pups looked amazing with shiny coats and excellent stature.

We had never heard of your company and were slightly worried about feeding a product we had never heard of or seen so we researched your site and the nutritional info on the feed.

We've now had the pup for 1 week and have to say he is doing fantastically.  He wolfs his meals down like I've never seen and has grown at an unbelievable rate, has boundless energy, and is just a happy pup. 

We will be continuing to feed our pup on your product (CP27)and will move to adult when ready.  We also have 2 boxers and are planning to swap them over as well.

Thank you for producing great products and a "WOOF" from Olle the Dobe.

I would never use anything else!

I have been using your products for about 3 years now for my 2 flatcoated retrievers and also for my litter of puppies last year. I would never use anything else!
Kind regards
Janet King

It all seemed too good to be true...

Dear Ceri,

We have a 7 year old Cocker Spaniel and a 1 Year old Chocolate Labrodor who had been brought up and fed on one of the "well" known premium ranges of food and we thought by using it we were helping them, however the spiralling cost of the brand caused us to look for something a little more affordable when we discovered CSJ on the internet.

It all seemed too good to be true - high quality for an affordable price with the backing of numerous breeders. Buying our first couple of sacks we decided to give it a go and see what happened.

Four sacks on and we are amazed at the difference and have only noticed the problems we had now we haven't got them. Our Cocker now looks and acts like she did when she was a puppy and her recent litter is thriving on Natural Little Champ!

Moreover the Labrador is just transformed: On the "beloved" old food she suffered from loose stools, flatulence that would clear a room in seconds, a scurfy coat and was so so hard to control. Since changing to CSJ Natural Champ she has normal stools, no flatulence a shiny coat and is just so relaxed (other than the usual puppy exuberance of course!) that so many people have commented on how well behaved she is "for a Chocolate". My wife was getting ready to try and re-home her but now she can stay.

Thanks so much...

Heal works! Great value too!

I just wanted to write to say how impressed and pleased I am with "Heal".  My Boxer, Amber has always had a delicate stomach and would often be off her food 2-3 times a week, waking me up in the night to go outside with a gurgling tummy, eating grass and looking thoroughly fed up until late afternoon when she would recover and start eating.

Since starting her on "Heal" she no longer disturbs us at night to go outside and only has a sore tummy very occasionally...maybe once or twice a month at the most, which is a vast improvement!! and means that I get my sleep!!

When I finished the first tub of "Heal" it took me about a month to get round to re-ordering, and during that time she went back to having a sore stomach a few times a week, which just confirmed to me that the herbs really do soothe and calm her digestive system and since starting them again she has been fine.

I am also impressed with the value for money compared to other herbal products. The tubs are massive and last for ages, and smell really nice too.

Many thanks

Susan

That'll do makes life so easy!

Just wanted to make time to say a big thank you for all your help and a constant easy supply of sensibly priced good quality dog food.

You sent me lots of samples based on our intial discussions about my 4 Cairns. 

We decided on Natural That'll Do! for all 4 which makes life so so easy, as before I was feeding 2 different 'Xxxxx', at nearly 4 times the cost per bag!

All 4 are thriving, from the teenager right up to Great Uncle Eric
with his arthritis, in fact I even stopped his joint supplement after a month on That'll Do, as he just didn't seem to need it anymore.

They went to be stripped a few weeks ago and even the groomer, a terrier breeder herself, commented on the gloss on their coats.

I can't recommend you enough for quality and price; and the dogs just love it.  I was concerned when I tried CSJ because it seemed TOO cheap compared with other similar products on the market, I was concerned the dogs would be missing out, but the price of 'Xxxxx' kept rising, so we had to consider an alternative.  I just regret all those years of paying through the nose because they look and even seem to feel better on CSJ!

Thanks again, will keep singing your praises at doggy events.

Oldest BVIS wins - with a little help from CSJ!

Hi Ceri, just to let CSJ know I have3 border collies who compete in obedience.  My old lady at 13 is now retired from obedience but has found a 2nd career winning veteran classes in the breed ring! Yesterday she won the open BC class then won the AV Pastoral Veteran class and then went on to take Best Veteran In Show, not bad for an old lady who was giving about 3-4 years to the other veteran group winners.

I had a hard job to convince several people ring side that she was 13 no one could believe she was more than the min veteran age of 7 and I was told by the chairman of the club that she was the oldest BVIS they had every had. 

So many thanks CSJ for keeping my old lady fit and healthy and letting her start a new career!!

I can't 'Get Over!' the difference these herbs have made

Hi - I just want to say that we are amazed by your "Get Over" product. We have 2 St Bernards - one is perfect in terms of mobility (in fact I'm sure he thinks he's a Springer!!) but our biggest boy has really suffered due to his huge size and long legs.

We were actually resigned to putting him through a major operation to see if we could replace his hips. He has everything money can buy but it's no use if his quality of life is reduced.

Anyway - THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!! Your herbs have given us our boy back - although far from perfect - he is wanting to play and go for walks - and can actually manage to go all around the block without lying down to rest half way. His coat is better and he seems to improve every day (He's only been on them 5 weeks !) He is happier and bouncier and his pal has got his playmate back.

I can't believe the difference your products have made and recommend them to EVERYONE with a dog. 

Thank you again!  from Sarah, Rob & Bentley & Baxter.

So impressed with the CP Xtra!

Hi Ceri,

I am so impressed with the CP Extra. I use it as a 'balancer' to my natural feeding and it's been brilliant. I was having terrible trouble getting some weight on my cockers, but after only 3 weeks of combining CP Extra with their food, they started filling out, and now they look lovely, are much more relaxed, and really enjoy their food.

My other dogs are also fed on CSJ and I have to say, I would not feed anything else now. I'm very impressed!!

" After feeding my four dogs CSJ, I can't believe the difference in them. Mollie, my collie, competes at agility and now has endless stamina as does Midget, my Patterdale cross that I am training for agility. The old lady Lizzie, a Westie, has suddenly got a spring in her step. The most remarkable is Angus an eight year old Westie that has had problems with his skin all his life. Nothing has helped until That'll do! All four dogs are on That'll do! and look a picture of health.
Many Thanks."

" Thank you Ceri! The Eezy Peezy is FANTASTIC!! My GSD has had 2 urine tests done and absolutely NO struvite crystals have been found! I am thrilled, please feel free to use this email message as a testimionial as I believe people need to know about this product. The vet is cautious at the moment about it working so well but has stated that should my GSD have 8 months clear then it will be obvious that it is maintaining his problem. I am very confident that it will work, he only has just under 2 months to go before the "trial" is up. "

Gill Morrison

" Many thanks for the sample packs you sent to me in February 2007. I subsequently purchased a bag of Champ and have been delighted by the effect it has had. Our Lurcher, George, has had a sensitive tummy since we first adopted him as a rescue puppy and we had tried a number of specialist foods but to no avail. My sister found your website and thought it might be worth considering and I am VERY grateful to her! Georges stools have never been firmer and he has put on weight(although he is still skinny! ). Where would we be if we hadn't discovered Champ. Thank you so much."

Peter & Delia Roberts, Anglesey

" Our dogs have been fed on your foods for a year now.Annie & Lizzie on the Gluten free, the rest on That'll Do. We run 9 of our own dogs regularly, in the various PODS teams, Star & Duke are in the PODS first team. PODS have only been beaten once in that time. (last weekend we were second at York)!."

Vanessa Haith

My young dog was approx 4 kgs underweight and by chance I came across CSJ and decided to give it a try.  My dog put on his 4 kgs and has a fantastic coat and full of life and a superb temperament. 

I then decided to feed my older spaniel on the Natural Champ! and he also has become more affectionate and has become more lively! 

I have recommened the product to other people - who are now giving CSJ a try!!!

Sue Wyatt, Devon

Have just made our 3rd order for my dogs and I wanted to say a BIG thank you for your fantastic food & herbs. I first contacted you regarding Bobby's sensitive tummy & after receiving the sample packs, I put him onto CP21 & my other dog, Phoebe, onto Champ. I emailed in September to report that they were both doing well. Now we in December & they have continued to 'bloom'. Bobby's 'deposits' are firm and less in volume! and no sign of the upsets he had before. He has also put on weight and condition: he looks twice the dog he was only a few months ago! Phoebe also is doing well; although she didn't suffer like Bobby, her coat & body condition have improved. I have given your details to others who have experienced similar problems. Not sure if they have made the change, but I will continue to 'sing' your praises. I'm sure that my dogs would join in too!
Many thanks to you and your team, hope you all have a lovely Christmas & wish you all Happy New Year.
