"I recommend Sojo's frequently to my
clients, and my own eleven year old Australian Shepherd
cross, Sheila, has been on it as her sole diet for over
five years. Her haircoat is beautiful, and her weight has
stayed constant, her teeth have never needed to be cleaned,
and to date, she shows no sign of arthritis. Meal time
is the highlight of her day. I mix the original Sojo's
with Europa, to get a little more veggies in her diet."

"Sojos makes giving your pets incredibly
healthy food a snap! Just take their mixes and add your
meat choice. One of my biggest peeves in the world for
nearly 30 years has been the disgusting condition of
the food big producers want us to feed our furry buddies!
And let's face it...making it all from scratch is a tough
call in today's busy life. Finally a healthy solution.Great
for pets. Easy for you! This company gets "Five
Stars" from me!"

"A
wonderful variety of quality grains, simple and fast
to fix, making it an excellent base in which to add
other foods to complement the diet, bagged in small
amounts so I can carry it to shows. I am personally
please with this product, and try to have all of my
puppy buyers continue with the diet as well. I feed
an all natural diet, and tell everyone to try if for
30 days -- then they can tell me what they see. The
difference? Clean & bright eyes, whiter teeth,
shinier coats, healthy skin, increased stamina & vitality,
and an overall new beginning to your dog's health."

"I
started feeding Sojourner Farms after one of my dogs
died of cancer. I was advised by my local vet to do
as the wolves do, and feed a raw, natural diet. I like
that there's no preservatives, and only natural/raw
ingredients. Sojourner Farms keeps my labs healthy.
I bred a litter 6 months ago. The mother was on Sojourner
Farms during gestation and the 8 puppies were born
glistening. All of the buyers were very impressed by
my breeding & nutrition objectives, and could see
the care and TLC that was invested into them. Sojourner
Farms was the key. The mother and the puppy I kept
have a very bright disposition, pearly white teeth,
and shiny, silky coats. No teeth cleaning bills for
this happy hunter. Friends glance at my dogs and are
amazed at their silky, black coats and white teeth.
Thank you Sojourner Farms!!

Reuben Pinske, Breeder of Labrador Retrievers
"Just
a quick note to let you know how wonderful I think
Sojourner Farms pet food has been for my animals. I
have three cats, and they all go nuts for the food.
Their coats are shiny and healthy, and they are more
playful and spunky than ever. Often times, they will
even try to climb into our fridge to get at their Sojos!One
of my cats was a tray and could hardly muster up a "meow" when
I first found her. How, with the promise of getting
her Sojo's supper, she meows up a storm. I also enjoy
my role in the process. Mixing up their food makes
me feel closer to them and I feel that our bond has
strengthened. I have recommended your product to many
of my friends, and will continue to do so.Thanks and
keep up the great work!"

"About
a year ago our golden retriever Sophie started having
seizures. She was having about two a month, and even
though we were reluctant to put her on the powerful
medication needed to control them, our vet told us
it was probably our only hope. Then we learned about
Sojourner's. We had been feeding our dog a good grade
of dry dog food, but we liked the sound of the human-quality
ingredients in Sojourners. We decided to order a bag
of Sojourner's and give it a try. We couldn't believe
the results; Sophie immediately stopped having the
seizures and hasn't had a problem since, and that was
over six months ago. As the directions call for, we
mix a little raw meat or vegetables with the food,
and Sophie gobbles it up. It is such a relief to see
our dog healthy and enjoying life again. She may have
more medical problems in the future, but from now on,
there's only one dog food good enough for our golden
retriever, and that's Sojourner Farms."
--Mark
Heike, Green Bay, WI
"I've
been feeding Sojourner's to my two 10-year old dogs,
an airedale (Bailey) and a wire-haired fox terrier
(Spike) for 11 months now, and the changes that have
occurred in my dog's overall health, emotional well-being,
and energy level over that time is absolutely astonishing,
especially when you consider our dogs' medical histories.
My husband and I tried all of the "premium dog
foods" and sought frequent care, from a veterinarian
dermatologist to a veterinary teaching hospital which
had "state of the art" equipment, to try
to deal with our medical problems. No matter what we
tried, their medical problems persisted. Bailey suffered
from itchy skin eruptions due to allergies for over
8 years. Spike, ever since the age of two, suffered
from more severe medical problems, like cushing's disease,
elevated liver enzymes, and impacted anal glands, to
name a few. As recently as December 1996, just prior
to us discovering Sojourner Farms, he was diagnosed
with spleen and liver cancer and given only 3-6 months
to live.Over the past year or so, I had been reading
several articles regarding how widespread cancer and
allergies were in dogs from all over the country. All
of the articles were pointing to commercial dog food.
What was being promoted as "premium dog food" actually
contained contaminants, such as pesticides and other
toxins, and any nutritional value was being cooked
out of the food. I was convinced that the "premium
pet food" we had been feeding our dogs over the
years was a strong contributor to their chronic poor
health. With Spike's cancer diagnosis, I decided to
seek an alternative diet for them.It was at this time
when my new holistic veterinarian told me about Sojourner
Farms dog food. "They'll love it," he said, "just
try it and see." I gave the dogs their first bowl
of Sojourner's, and they ate it so quickly I barely
saw them eat it! Within only a few months, the changes
in their physical health became very evident. Bailey's
skin problems started to clear up, and I stopped the
allergy injections and cortisone treatments for him.
Because of Spike's more severe medical problems, his
progress was even more dramatic than Bailey's. For
one thing, his anal glands have not becomes impacted
since he started the Sojourner's diet; whereas before,
being fed the commercial dog foods, his anal glands
were becoming impacted every 3 months or so. His cushing's
disease is under much better control, and he is no
longer on any of the medication that made him so weak
he could barely walk. What's more surprising and such
a blessing is that he is still alive and doing very
well 10 months beyond his cancer diagnosis! Whenever
we go on walks, people think that Spike is just a puppy,
because he has so much energy and looks so healthy.Not
only is Sojourner's extremely healthy for the dogs,
but they love the taste too. On the previous foods
they didn't have much interest in eating. There were
several times when one of them would walk up to their
dog dish, step away, and go back to lie down. It was
a constant struggle to keep them interested. It's quite
a different story now. Each night, as I'm measuring
out the food, Baily sits very attentively and watches
my every move, while Spike is to the right of me leaping
from a sitting position 2 feet straight up, until I
give him his dish. That's what I call being excited
about your dinner!Being that my husband and I both
work full-time, we like Sojourner's because it takes
very little time to prepare. We just soak the mixture
in water overnight and it's ready for the next day.
It's also quite economical, in that two cups of Sojourner's
per day feeds both dogs, versus 3-4 cups per day of
their previous food. The Sojourner's goes further,
lasts longer, is more economical than the other dog
foods, and is, by far much healthier for them. In the
10 months that I've been feeding this to my dogs, their
whole demeanor has been different. They hold their
heads up higher, their tails are more alert, they have
much more energy, yet they have calmer dispositions.
It's like all of their senses have been suddenly awakened,
and they're now really enjoying life instead of just
lying around the house. I am so thankful to have Sojourner's
available to feed to my dogs. The results and changes
I've seen in both of them has been incredible, if not
miraculous. I know in my heart, I'd have a different
story to tell had I not switched to Sojourner's. Sojourner's
is, without a doubt, the best food I can feed my dogs,
and I am truly grateful that it is available, economical
and easy to prepare. A few minutes a day is all it
takes to prepare Sojourner's, and the reward you get
is having happy, healthy, dogs who love their natural
diet! Thank you, Sojourner Farms!"

"Just
want you to know that our one cat with feline AIDS,
who used to throw up two or three times a week, hasn't
at all since he's been on SoJo's. The other cat was
almost obese and waddled everywhere -- now she is happy,
more active, and actually has a waist. The dog dives
headfirst into his SoJo's bowl and doesn't come up
'til it's empty, and my parent's elderly dog is feeling
fine and not shedding her coat as much now. I think
your cat and dog food is wonderful. Thank you."

been meaning to write you before this but never got
around to it. Your food has been a miracle for my dog
Riley! He's a 13 1/2 year old Beardie who's always
had stomach problems that got much worse in November
1999. He kept losing weight and nothing seemed to help!
My vet suggested I give your food a try and I'm totally
hooked! His stomach problems have disappeared and though
he's still a little skinny his weight is stabilizing.
Thanks so much."

"Thank
you very much. My two Boston Terriers are very allergic.
This is the first thing to ever have come out of a
bag that they can eat. Thank you for providing something
that makes my life with two difficult little angels
a little simpler (and for the piece of mind that comes
with the quality). This is our second bag of Sojourner
Farms, so we're relatively new to the product. I'm
more than pleased with it, and the girls just love
it. Every dog must love it if my two finicky girls
dive into it. I alternate the protein source from beef
to chicken to fish and add veggies (sweet potatoes,
carrots, and broccoli are their favorites)." Many
thanks from Hannah, Haley, & their Mom!"

"I
am sending this letter to tell you just how much I
love your product! I am a breeder/exhibitor of purebred
American Staffordshire Terriers, and am currently feeding
8 of them (7 adults and 1 puppy). I have made the gradual
switch over to a natural diet, and was told about your
product by a Basenji breeder. She was sold on your
product and after seeing her lovely animals, I know
why! I have been "in" staffs for 17 years,
and have always played the "feed of the month" game.
My dogs would get tired of the same old, same old,
and I was beginning to feel like I was just throwing
food at them. The care and preparation it takes to
switch over to a natural feed is well worth the time
and effort. I had tried others, and am SOLD on your
product. Stools are firmer, and less in quantity, coats
are shiny, eyes are bright, and dogs just seem happier!
Dogs that used to be just ho-hum about dinner time,
now dance and prance for their meal. My 8 year old
daughter helps at feeding time, and she loves the fact
that we get to spend the quality preparation time together.
We discuss things like: making better, healthier eating
choices, and the fact that artificial things we put
into our bodies, can actually be harmful to us in the
long run. She is taking a great interest in your product,
she pours it into the soaking pan, and mixes it with
water. All the while claiming it is "easier than
most people would think to eat healthy." Well,
anyway, just wanted to say THANKS for making such a
wonderful, healthy product . . . keep up the good work!"

"My
dogs all (5 of them) love your food! I bought my first
bag about three weeks ago, and we're nearly out of
it now. They eat your food mixed with ground lamb,
beef, or chicken and a small amount of veggies or fruit,
with the kind of gusto I've never see them use on anything
else. In addition to your mix, they get raw meaty bones
at the second meal each day. It's too early to see
a difference in coats yet, but they all appear to be
visibly happier dogs with more energy and a lot more
interest in their everyday goings on. Three of the
dogs show (standard wirehaired dachshunds) and two
are humane society-rescued spaniel mixes that are close
to 10 years old. When I look at their enthusiasm, there's
no comparison to their old food! They'll chose Sojourner
Farms every time. My dachshunds not only do the show
circuit (a high-stress way for a dog to make a living),
they also actively compete in AKC Earthdog tests and
Field Trials every chance we get. The fact that these
guys love your food, hold their weight well now, appear
to have well-functioning intestinal tracts once again,
and are showing new (positive) behaviors like being
more outwardly focused and obviously happy with their
lives, have all occurred since moving them to the combination
of your food with ground meat and raw veggies, and
a second meal of meaty bones each day. I'm delighted
with the results! And please, raise prices if you have
to rather than adjusting your formula as time goes
by! You have a winner with Sojourner Farms. Obviously
I'm pleased to have discovered you." (A side note
from the owner . . . not to worry, there are no plans
to raise prices anytime soon.)

The FIRST time I put a bit of Sojourner down, he enjoyed
eating. It's only been a week I've been converting

“We
have a five month old Golden Retriever puppy, Max,
that we have put on Sojourner Farms dog food since
he was about seven weeks old. He absolutely loves his
dinner as it takes him approximately 40 seconds to
inhale it once we put his dish in front of him. His
coat is sleek and shiny and he has boundless energy.
We really appreciate that he is getting such a well
balanced diet without all the fillers etc. that are
found in a lot of commercial dog foods. We would highly
recommend this product for anyone who is concerned
with feeding a premium product that greatly enhances
the health and overall well being of his (or her) devoted

“I’d
like to tell you the story of Odyssey -- an elderly
toy poodle that belonged to my Mom, before she passed
away in February 1997. When I took him into my home
I noticed he coughed a lot, and had very bad breath.
I took him to my vet who told me Odyssey had a serious
heart problem. He prescribed drugs and a special dry
pet food. We also had his teeth cleaned and he gave
me a daily tooth gel to deal with his breath. For a
while the coughing got better, but then it began to
become worse again. The doctor doubled his prescription,
but said there wasn’t anything else that could
be done. The coughing continued to worsen, as did his
bad breath. At that point I read the ingredients on
the food, and couldn’t see how it could be helping.
That’s when I learned about Sojourner Farms. After
having all of my questions answered on the phone, I
ordered a bag. He transitioned very easily, and within
a short time some dramatic changes occurred. His breath
cleared up, and his coughing decreased markedly. Best
of all, Odyssey now seems quite a bit more alert and
active. Whereas before he was pretty indifferent about
his food, now he literally dances around excitedly
at feeding time. Odyssey and I can’t thank you
enough! I believe that not only will your food help
him to live longer, but it has already greatly improved
the quality of his life. (And for those of us who no
longer have to deal with his breath, it’s improved
the quality of our lives too!)”

just wanted to let you know how happy Figment, my shephard/collie

dry dog food, and he would wait until late in the night
(when he was REALLY hungry) to eat any of it. About
6 months ago, I took him to a holistic veterinarian,
and she recommended Sojourner Farms and raw meat, and
since then he has become the happiest dog on earth.

was so sick and unhealthy that I came so very close
to having her put to sleep thinking she was in pain

found she had an ulceratic stomach. We tried the innovative
diet dog food which all she did was throw up!! She
was starving to death . . literally. I found out about
your food through the book "The Veterinarians'
Guide to Natural Remedies for Dogs" which I think
God for. Delilah was down to 38 lbs.. After 3 weeks
on your food and the "natural" way of feeding
she is healthy, full of vigor, her coat is beautiful,

"I
just had to write to say my fickle 2 yr old border
collie, "Missi", just loves this stuff! We
recently had to put down one of our dogs because of
cancer. After "Pooch" was gone, she had been
moping around the house and wouldn't eat anything,
not even table food! I ordered a bag and mixed it with
broiled plain chicken. She picked at it at first, but
went back an hour later and finished it. I did a test
run on her with a can of dog food that had no by-products
and fillers. Well, she totally snubbed it off and sat
there until i made her "regular" dinner.
Now she tells me when she wants to eat, and sits diligently
and patiently the kitchen while I prepare her dinner.
Even in the few short weeks she's been eating the grains,
her coat is extremely shiny and now can see her muscle
definition in her legs and body. I can't say enough
about the product, except thank you."

"We
provide a home for handicapped and old cats. We have
a one-eyed 10 month old black cat named Zorro who had
constant, never-ending diarrhead. It just poured ot
of him all the time; it covered his back end, it was
everywhere. It was just awful. This was an extremely
frustrating situation for us. We tried everything we
could find and no cat food made any difference at all.
We were truly at the end of the road. Even the vet
we took him to (repeatedly) did not recommend your
dry cat food mix (for our particular case) which her
clinic sold. Anyway, I bought the book "The Natural
Cat" and read about the benefits of raw food.
I also remembered seeing your product in Buellton Vet
and wondered if it would be easier to fix. After two
weeks on Sojourner Farms food, the diarrhea had ended
and this cat was pooping normal poops! Amazing! He
also had put on weight and his black coat just shines
now. The difference was notghin short of miraculous.
A co-worker of mine told me about her kitten who also
had constant diarrhea; I recommened your product to
her and she used it with the same results. Normal poops!
I wish we could afford to put all our cats on your
cat food mix. It has truly saved our cat's life. Thank
you for making such a good product."

“We
would like to thank you for your wonderful food. Several
years ago, our dog Killian developed stomach problems
that no one could explain. He was taken to several
veterinarians without success, and some even suggested
that we put him on steroids indefinitely. Killian was
not getting better and we didn't know what to do, when
a friend suggested he go to a holistic veterinarian.
At the time we were living in Minneapolis and had the
honor of working with a wonderful vet, Dr. Winter.
The first recommendation that he made was change Killian's
diet. We thought that we were buying the best food,
one of the popular and expensive higher-end brands.
We soon learned was that we were "paying for a
Ferrari and getting a dodge." We decided to change
Killian's food and then had to decide what would make
the most sense - make or buy. Due to work schedules,
it was much more convenient to buy Killian's food and
Dr. Winter recommended Sojourner Farm food. Well, things
have been great ever since. Killian's stomach problems
are gone, his coat is gorgeous, he has great breath
and most importantly we have a healthy, happy dog.
People often stop us when we are walking him and ask
us how old our "puppy" is. Killian is seven
years old and has the energy of a two year old! When
we moved to Connecticut three years ago, we panicked
about how to get Sojourner Farm food. There was no
need to be worried however, now we have it shipped
directly our home. We have experienced wonderful customer
service and really enjoy the newsletter.My husband
and I have seen the proof. We will never feed any animal
in our family anything but Sojourner Farm food.”

"I
would like to take a minute and thank you for a great
product. My Australian Shepherd, Snip, is in training
for search and rescue. I wanted to switch her from
commercial food and give her the best food I could
find. After researching several products, I chose Sojos.
It was one of the best decisions I have made. She is
better focused, in great shape, and her once yellow
teeth are spotlessly white and clean. She no longer
has doggy breath! Her fur is soft, sily and shiny.
People who haven't seen her for a while have asked
if I got a new dog! I give the Sojos mix and raw meat
diet the credit for these amazing changes. It's so
good to be feeding her something she really enjoys.
It almost looks good enough to eat myself! The other
thing I like about it is the nice, clean smell of fresh
food every day as opposed to kibble or canned food.
Thanks again for a great product."

wanted to tell you how much we appreciate Sojourner's

Sojourner's in May, 2000. He loves his food where he
used to be a very picky eater. Our 9 year old bulldog
has had no seizures in the past 8 months and we feel
it is due to the natural quality (and lack of salts)
of your food. We generally prepare the meal with cooked
lamb, pork, or beef (the boxer is allergic to poultry)
which the dogs LOVE! Thanks for your hard work in testing
and preparing such high quality food."

"I
am sitting here typing with big huge tears of happiness
rolling down my face. I was at my wit's end when I
found Sojos at my vet's in a little sample bag. Of
our four cats, our two Abyssinians and our giant tabby
were throwing up literally every single day on commercial
brands. Our new little Siamese/tabby mix was the only
cat that seemed fine. Our little girl Abyssinian Toesie
has almost died twice from what has been diagnosed
as idiopathic auto-immune disease. She has been on
prednisone and Leukeran for a long time, and her future
is uncertain. She came into this world challenged with
missing and deformed toes and it seems that her heart
and lungs and internal organs are in a reversed orientation
(heart is on the right side). I was determined to do
anything to remedy at least the digestive problems
and ordered a case of Sojo from your web site. It was
a huge uphill battle making the switch, but now I have
four cats BEGGING for food, eating it all with gusto,
not throwing up (except hairballs), and full of energy
and spirit. Their eyes are bright, their coats glisten,
and I could not be more pleased. Their teeth are whiter,
and it seems that the yellow plaque that they had on
their back teeth is going away! I came to your website
today to make the switch to sojo for our Labrador.
She is 9 years old, has hip dysplasia, and is overweight.
She does not enjoy her "senior" kibble, and
now that I know what's in it, I don't blame her! I
am sure it will be a seamless transition for her, and
can't wait for our old girl to perk up!! Thank you
for making such a terrific product!!"

"Since
my dog, Shamir, began eating your "live food",
he has lost 4 pounds, a substantial loss for a standard
dachshund who was overweight by that much and weighted
37 pounds, down now to 33 pounds and looking svelte.
I also feed him broccoli/carrots/garlic mix of vegetables
or another combination, and 4-5 tbsp. a day over your
food (he eats twice a day). He also gets 1/3 cup of
ground up raw meat daily, very lean chicken breast
(skinless), or rump roast. He thrives on this diet
and loves it all. He has had no skin problems which
used to reoccur. He is seen by a homeopathic vet and
has had no traditional medicines for several years.
Shamir is almost 13 years old and doing beautifully.
I can't say enough good about your dog food and have
supplied your web site to others, hoping they will
put an end to feeding their pets inferior food. Thank
you."

"I
started feeding Sojos a month ago to my show bichons
and poodles, and a couple other pet dogs. I wanted
to let you know, they are all doing so very well! Healthy
ears, teeny poops that hardly smell, and clear thinking
minds are just a few of the things I have noticed.I
have traveled to 7 shows now (2 long weekends) with
a cooler and a zip lock of Sojos... very easy and I
felt great knowing my babies were getting the best
I could provide! Cost is actually less than when I
was feeding kibble and supplementing with raw foods.
I recommend this food to everyone who asks why my bichons
look so good! Thank you for a great product and a reasonable
price!"

"It
is remarkable how much Bailey loves Sojourner Farms.
She would never eat her food before and we would almost
have to force her to get it down. Now, as soon as we
put a bowl of Sojourner's down she eats everything
in her dish. Thanks again for your help and to the
team at Sojos.com for making our pets'
lives happier and healthier.

Jennifer Fiocco & Bailey, San Marcos, CA
"I
just wanted to let you know that since adding Sojo's
to my dog's regular food, he has gone from relatively
inactive to being a constant busybody. Before Sojo's
he was eating a homemade raw food diet I order over
the internet of meat/veggies/supplements which comes
premade/frozen. And, although this is an excellent
food, I never had the results I have now with dramatically
increased energy levels and alertness...oh, and did
I mention, he loves to eat?! With this new found food
combination, he is literally a new dog, and is driving
me crazy wanting to play all the time and go for constant
walks outside. Lastly, he is the picture of health-soft/shiny
coat, clean white teeth, good muscle tone, bright shining
eyes and happy, alert attitude. Thank you so much for
a terrific product which I will continue to use and
recommend to all of my friends! "

"In
July of 2000, my 8 1/2 year old boxer was diagnosed
with two - grade three mast cell tumors (grade four
being the worst). The vet told me that chemo or any
other treatment would not be worth it, and to just
keep an eye on her. She had three to nine months to
live. A friend of mine recommended your food, and I
ordered some immediately. Feeling I had little time
to waste, I switched Rosie over to your food within
a week. Well, here it is some 17 months later (December
2001) and Rosie is 10, and looks as healthy as ever.
She immediately lost 20 pounds on your food (which
the vet had been urging me to do, and I had been trying
with all sorts of diet dog foods) and looks great.
Everyone at the vets office calls her wonder dog. My
son left for his sophomore year of college thinking
he would never see her again, and he is due home for
Christmas of his junior year and she is still going
strong. Your food is incredible and we have our year
old black lab on it, in hopes that she too will live
a long healthy life. Thank you for your wonderful product!!!"

"I
just wanted you to know that I rescued a golden mix
about six months ago and she smelled and just didn't
look healthy and I immediately started her on Sojos
and she has a beautiful shinny coat and she doesn't
smell. Both my Sheltie and golden love your food. They
both jump up and down while I am making the food and
cant wait to eat. If you ever are making a commercial
I have two willing actresses. No, all kidding aside
I would never feed my animals anything else."

"Thanks
for your products. Daisy has been on your feeding program
for over a year and has not had one skin problem!!!
I can hardly believe it, since she was regularly on
antibiotics, etc.... for problem skin. Thank goodness
I took her to see a vet in Naples in October 2000,
and was directed to your products and philosophy about
pet feeding."

"I
ordered my first bag of food in about September, and
started feeding my 5 basenji's immediately. I
wanted you to know that my 6 year old bitch that is
suspected of having a liver shunt based on her liver
panels for the last 5 years just returned a NORMAL
liver panel. The other dogs are doing well, the
one with severe allergies to unknown items, hasn't
changed much. The others (the mother was put
to sleep around Christmas because her heart failed
at 15) have much more energy, and the one I'm competing
in agility with has been competing much better, faster,
and responding better, seems to be concentrating on
what I say much better. The most impressive was the
little one with the liver problems. My vet was
extremely surprised at the results, and the fact that
she was such a picky eater before and now eats as much
or more than the rest so she can put on some much needed
weight (she's 13 pounds and should be about 18) She's
now taking agility classes and actually responding
to the commands and not running off to do her own thing. I'm
not sure what the food has to do with the mental ability,
but it sure seems to, or it was an incredible coincidence
of timing. Thank you very much."

"I
am finally sitting down to write and say thank you
so much for what you've done for my puppy. Let me tell
you about Dana. She is a three year old German Shepherd.
Up until she was about 6 months old, she ate a "premium
brand" dry dog food, no problem. Then, for reasons
known only to her, she turned into the Finicky Eater
from Hell I tried everything to get this girl to eat;
dry, semi-dry, dry mixed with canned, canned; you name
it I tried it - literally. I kept a list of foods on
the kitchen cabinet; name of food, would she eat it?
yes, no, maybe At the end of my "trial" they
all had big black X's through them Every week I ran
from grocery store to pet store to feed store; I
mail ordered "natural" foods from out
of state. She turned her nose up at everything - meal
time was a daily struggle with her. I've never seen
a dog spit out a piece of kibble as well as she could
I bought every premium brand, mid-grade, and yes, even
the cheapest brands, to no avail. Dana began
to gain weight, as my husband and I added anything
we could think of to her food, trying to bribe her
into eating it It was not unusual for her to let a
bowl of food sit for a day or two, absolutely refusing
to touch it, till we threw it out and started over
again. In early 2001, I subscribed to the newsletter
Whole Dog Journal, and one of the first issues I received
rated commercial dry foods; one of the next issues
rated natural /raw foods/mixes. That's when I
had a revelation It dawned on me that Dana's breeder
had mentioned her dogs were raised on a mix of a "premium" commercial
dry dog food (available only in Canada, where Dana
is from) and raw meat, including venison in season
I went online and spent days reading and researching
every "natural" food WDJ mentioned. I chose
Sojourner Farms in May. It's mid-November now, and
Dana is a completely different animal.While she is
excruciatingly shy; always was and will be; her demeanor
is so improved, I don't know how I let the food struggle
go on for so long. She is an extremely low-key, laid-back
creature, who gets very silly when she's happy. She
is silly a lot of the time now, especially after she
eats (we call this Happy Tummy). And now she tells
us when she's hungry, although a casual observer may
not recognize the signal (she wanders into the kitchen
and lays down in front of the oven). Prior to switching
to your food, she was mopey most of the time, and it
just about broke my heart. Her weight has gone from
a slightly flabby 106#, down to 98#.You may think this
is still big, but Dana comes from VERY large stock,
and is no bigger than her own mother, and still smaller
than her father. She had allergy problems this past
spring, but her skin has cleared up now. Her coat is
softer than any I've ever seen on a GSD.She doesn't
shed as much, either. I used to get enough fur off
of her during bathing to make a whole new puppy. Back
in May, I had intended to have her teeth cleaned, as
her back teeth were beginning to show signs of tartar
build-up.Now, I can't find any tartar and my vet has
asked if I had her teeth cleaned elsewhere.She has
relatively fresh breath (by doggy standards), and her
stools are firm and very small.I have neighbors with
Brittneys. They feed them a house-brand dry dog
food from a local warehouse club and these dogs put
out three times as much of a stool as Dana.Also, one
of the first things I noticed after trying your food,
is that her stool doesn't smell nearly as bad as it
did.Sorry to be so graphic, but the changes, ALL of
them, just amazed me.As I am writing this, she is standing
here smiling at me, wiggling her tail, waiting to go
for a walk. We can't thank you enough."

"I
want to tell you how much my 14-year-old Sealyham Terrier
adores her diet, now. I couldn't get anything
that she'd eat with any kind of enthusiasm, and
my sister-in-law told me about your program. Of some
interest, perhaps, would be this addendum: I
lost my husband to colon cancer a few years ago, but
in the last year of his life, he (and I) went on a
diet which is very similar to the one you prescribe
for dogs. That diet was, I know/we knew, instrumental
in keeping him strong enough that he could live a remarkably
normal life, even as the disease was working on him.
I say this, because my little dog had a bout with lung
cancer last year - she had a lobe removed - shortly
after I started her on your diet. Guess what: so
far, she is doing beautifully! You're doing a great
thing! Thanks."

"I
just wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I
love your products!!! After just 2 weeks on your food
my 10 year-old golden retriver looks and acts like
she is 5 again!! It has also been wonderful for my
10 month old great dane who since we got her has been
afflicted with several different skin & digestive
disorders. I was worried that putting her on a raw
food would bother her sensitive system, but since she
has been on it she has thrived! I just swithced my
cat to your food and though he is generally a picky
eater he instantly love his new food! I now recommend
your food to everyone! Even people buying "commercial" food
in the grocery & pet stores!"

"Good
evening. I am a new customer, but already I am very
impressed with your product. My pets, a dog and a cat,
have had a very easy transition from commercial pet
foods to your product. I can also see a dfference in
their coats and energy levels. I also work for a national
natural food grocery store, and I have passed your
flyer onto the Grocery Manager in my store. I feel
as though your commitment to natural, wholesome ingredients
is right in line with our company's mission and values.
I look forward to a long relationship as not only a
customer, but an advocate for a healthy pet food alternative. Thank
you."

"Bought
Sojos about 4 or 5 months ago. The owner of the house,
my male Basenji, had three pounds to gain and his diet,
now I know, was digusting. I used what I thought was
the "top of the line" dry dog food. Well
the difference has been remarkable. His coat shinny
and thick, bright eyes, the three pounds he gained
are all muscle. The only problem I have now, is a stronger
and more youthful nut head. Jeesh, now I am not sure
I should thank you or send you my bills for destroyed
everything. By the way, he loves his meal time
and the cost was amazingly inexpensive. Knowing I am
giving him good natural food, makes my mind and soul
happier. I am a customer for life."

"I
never write letters like this, but I have to tell you
how great I think
your product is. On May 19, 2002, I unexpectedly had to put my 12 1/2
year old dog down. She had lung cancer that no one had ever caught.
All her life, Heidi had terrible skin and "allergy" problems.
I am, in retrospect, completely convinced that much of her suffering
can be directly linked to her diet. My 10 1/2 year old, Maggie, is
still with me. In an effort to keep her with me as long as possible,
I started to investigate alternatives. I had previously investigated
alternative diets, but was convinced to continue using "standard
pet food" by several people, including a vet (who we are no longer
using!) Maggie has been on the new diet for approximately 3 weeks.
I initially started her off on another company's "natural diet." (Halo
Pet Spot's Stew) While she did eat it and I will have to use it when
we travel (convenience sake) she turns her nose up at it now - she
holds out for Sojos! She just LOVES the Sojos!!!! Every time I even
approach the kitchen, she perks up and charges forth, hoping for food!
The physical changes in her are unbelievable as well. Maggie has always
had unbelievably tearing problems. She is still tearing, but it's INFINITELY
better. Additionally, when Maggie would sit next to me at home, she
would constantly be chewing on her feet - sometimes until they were
raw and bloody. I have only seen her take a tiny nibble now and again
- she's almost stopped!!! Maggie, as I mentioned, is 10 1/2 years old,
but with the change in diet, she has become very much like the little
hyper ball of energy that she was as a puppy :-) She charges towards
me when I come home and loves to play and snuggle again. I am so thankful
for finding your product. I am telling everyone I can about the wonderful
products you sell. I will be ordering more Sojo dog mix today and may
even try to start my cats on it as well! Keep up the good work - and
try to find a distributor in Georgia that's not two hours away from
me!!! Thank you for giving me my baby back :-)

"I
just wanted to let you know how wonderful your product
is. I have two cats, one of which is overweight. My
vet suggested [another brand] (which my roommate dubbed "card-board
pellets"). They have both been eating it for two
years and have not lost a single pound, instead they
both became lethargic and their coats lost their shine.
Then, my co-worker suggested a fresh meat diet (which
didn't work out so well for me being a student and
working full time). When I found Sojos I was so happy!
It is so convenient and my cats are like kittens now!
They are so playful and shiny and are down to a healthy
weight. Thanks a lot!"

"We
received our order today, and I just thought I would
drop you a line to tell you how much my dogs enjoy
your product. I first heard of your food in an article
that was published in the Whole Dog Journal, which
I read religiously! I have three dogs now, but at the
time I read the article, I only had two, Maggie, a
labrador mix that we adopted as a puppy from a local
shelter in January of 1999, and Lola, a golden retriever
who had belonged to a neighbor. Lola had lived two
houses away and Maggie and I used to visit her when
we went on our walks. Lola spent a lot of time in an
outdoor pen by herself and she would howl and bark
at us when she saw us playing in our yard, so we would
always take time to stop by and give her some attention
and some biscuits every day. One day, when we were
visiting, her owner came out and asked if we would
be interested in adopting her, because he was moving
into an apartment and couldn't take her with him. My
husband and I both adored Lola, and Maggie got along
with her well, so we said yes. That was in March of
2000, when Lola was 6 years old. I was very surprised
when her owner told me that he had never taken her
to the vet, when I asked him if I could have her veterinary
records. The only time she had ever been to a vet was
to get her first puppy shots while the breeder still
had her! The red flags went up in my head, but we still
wanted her. We took her in on a Saturday and I called
to schedule her first vet appointment on the following
Monday. I had noticed when walking her that she seemed
to be urinating a lot, and I was afraid that she might
have a urinary infection. Well, to condense the last
two years, that first vet appointment turned into a
very close relationship with the vet. Being an unaltered
female, what I thought was a urinary infection turned
out to be pyometra, and an emergency surgery. This
was followed by many visits for treatments for pyoderma,
and also, for surgery to remove several lumps, which
were benign. Then, almost a year ago, I found another
lump on her side, which turned out to be lymphoma.
About the only thing this poor dog has not had, which
I honestly expected to hear that she did have when
we first adopted her, was heartworm! So, she has been
receiving treatments off and on since last March, and
she has been doing really well. And I believe that
your food mix has really helped her a lot. I feed it
to all three of our dogs (we adopted another puppy
from a rescue group last January; she is a very energetic
mix, we think flat-coat retriever/samoyed or american
eskimo and her name is Annie) and I always get compliments
on how great their coats look. We feed it to them along
with a variety of fresh raw meats; turkey, chicken
or beef.
Another thing that I wanted to mention was what I went through with
Maggie! When she was a puppy, I tried feeding every brand of "premium" commercial
dog foods on the market. She didn't want anything to do with the stuff!
Of course, at the time, I had no idea what nasty stuff goes into that
so-called food. I would sit with a spoon and literally beg her to eat!
She would finally give in, I think just because it was all that was
offered to her and maybe because she wanted to please me. But when
I started doing research about canine nutrition (after we got Lola
and all the health problems began) and I decided to do the fresh raw
meat and sojos diet, I was shocked by the change in her! She couldn't
wait for me to put the food bowl down! She'd gobble it up and look
to me to give her some more!! I felt so bad for practically force-feeding
her all that stuff that she didn't like!! Well, thanks again for such
a great product! I'm always singing the praises of this stuff to other
dog owners!"

Rachel Simpson, Richmond Heights, OH
"I
needed to let you know how much my dogs are enjoying
their new regimen. I had been cooking huge batches
of a rice/barley/oats mix and mixing in veggies and
raw ground turkey and then freezing it in daily packs.
But now life is so much easier. I still make a mixture
of veggies and raw turkey and then freeze that in daily
packs, but the girls share one pack so my freezer has
some room for my ice cream again! And they can hardly
wait for the food to absorb the water. My big girl,
CoCo, is blind and slightly food-crazy. Prior to the
switch she would virtually beg for food all day. Now
she gets a little kibble in the morning and then again
about an hour after they have eaten and she sleeps
all through the night and doesn't wake me up for breakfast.
You have changed our lives. And the girls look great
and are maintaining their figures. So thank you very
much from me and CoCo and Mocha."

"My
2 year old dog starting getting Sojo's a few weeks
ago. He's had bad skin itching and would draw blood
scratching so hard. He would bite his feet and tail
and sometimes me out of frustration. Even though it's
only been a few weeks, he is so much more calm and
barely scratching. Plus he has more energy - running
around like the little puppy he thinks he is. My dog
absolutely loves Sojo's and looks forward to it. He's
choosey now, and has started to refuse his old food.
I can't blame him. He'll actually pick the Sojo's out
and lick it off of the old pellet food. So, he gets
Sojo's separately now. We are almost fully transitioned
over. Thank goodness, I know the old food was no good
for him and he only ate it because he was hungry. Thanks
for such a great product!"

have ALL subsided. She acts like a puppy and is wonderful
to be a companion to since her new way of eating! Thanks

"I
wanted to write you and tell you how pleased we are
with your wonderful dog food. We have a 6 year old
Australian Cattle dog who was on regular dry dog food.
I found your web site and read some articles, and decided
to try it. He has a cast iron gut, but we weaned him
into your "crunch" over a period of 2-3 weeks.
After the first little meal, the only way I could get
him to eat his other dog food was to soak it in yours.
He no longer has gas, his stools are nice and soft,
and we feel he's starting to lose weight and has much
more energy. We do, however feed him 3 meals a day,
plus he has to have his snack before bedtime. My husband
is disabled and that dog is his constant companion.
So we want him around as long as we can, and that's
why I thought it important to get better dog food.
Also, he doesn't like any raw chicken, so I get ground
chuck, and he really likes that. Thank you so very
much for your wonderful dog food. I will be reordering
when I need some more. Thanks again."

"Just
wanted to let everyone know how very satisfied I am
with your products. My animals (7 cats, one dog) are
so much healthier since eating your food, and it shows.
My oldest cat especially has benefited enormously.
I found him on my porch 4 years ago, thin as a skeleton,
and nursed him back to health. He was much better for
a while, but then was diagnosed with a heart murmur
and a weak, irregular heart beat and eventually went
into a phase where all he did was nap. He never played
any more and rarely ate. I agreed with my vet to just
let him be because of his old age (an estimated 13-14
years at the time). So he slowly and peace- fully seemed
to just fade away. Then in the fall of 2001, I switched
to your food. Luckily my old kittie isn't picky and
started eating it almost immediately, and lo and behold,
quickly regained his energy; his playtime went up and
the time he spent napping went down considerably. During
a vet checkup in the spring of 2002, the vet found
that he still had the heart murmur, but that his heartbeat
was strong and steady, and during this year's spring
vet visit, the heart murmur was completely gone. My
vet said that the food he's eating must be of such
good quality that it strengthened the heart muscle
enough to make the murmur disappear. Needless to say,
we're hooked for life. I would *never* have expected
such results when I first introduced my babies to your
food. As for my old kittie, he seems to have gotten
a second chance on life, and from the way he acts you'd
never guess that he's more than 4 years old. He runs
around the house, plays silly chase games with his
stuffed mice, and generally has so much energy that
he usually wears me out. I tell him to go nap, which
of course he won't do. Thank you for making such a
good product. I hope you'll be around forever."

"I
rec'd the bag of food yesterday. My 2-year old
English Mastiff had his nose all over the bag. I
figured that was a good sign. Since he is counter
height, it was hard to keep his nose out of the mix
or contain him long enough to allow the mixture to
sit for 15 minutes. I had only mixed 1/2 the
amount of what will ultimately be his daily intake
to use in the "transition." I intended
to spread that initial mix over the next four days. Well,
I spooned some over his usual kibble. He lapped
it up so fast, I couldn't believe it and was banging
his head on the fridge after he saw where the bowl
disappeared into. I ended up giving him an entire
day's amount poured over his kibble. Although
Mastiff's are huge, they have very gentle mouths. He
delicately ate all of the Sojo's and didn't even touch
the kibble underneath. I immediately saw the
difference when my husband and I sat down for dinner. Although
he has been taught not to "beg," he will
usually at least come over to me and "smell" the
food. For the first time in two years, I think
he had a full, satiated belly and didn't even look
in our direction at dinner. I had read another
of the testimonials which reported their dog eating
at the wee hours of the morning when they were finally
too hungry and gave in to the kibble. My mastiff
would display the exact same behavior. I have
such a pang of guilt that this poor animal who we love
so dearly has been hungry since the day he came into
our lives. Thank you Sojo's. (now if I
can only get my 4-month old human son to eat his cereal
from a spoon without spitting it back at me, then more
of our feeding issues will be resolved!)"

"I
have two male Labradors, brothers, five years old.
Six months ago they were at 112lbs (yellow) and 105
lbs (black). I began feeding them Sojos and they are
now at 100lbs (yellow) and 95lbs (black). They look
good and are healthy dogs. Sojos has been an
excellent change from the manufactured foods. There
is a little time involved in mixing the food, but it
hasn't been bad. We really see the value of SOJO's.
The dogs are healthy and full of energy. They like
the food. I believe that the natural state of the mixed
food far exceeds the nutritional value of manufactured
feeds. Of course, it is not as handy as manufactured
foods, but these guys are our family and in our hearts,
they deserve the best."

am extremely impressed with your food. My dogs are

wholesale client soon and begin to carry your food
here at my kennel.....thank you!"

your company for offering an alternative to commercial
dog food. My dog had so many areas where fur was missing
due to his allergies. Unfortunately, none of the vets
I took him to (three total) recommended changing his
diet. Instead, I got steroids and anti-histamines that
made him hungry and tired, respectively. Somehow I ended
up on your website. I have to admit I was doubtful after
the first couple of weeks of feeding Sojourner Farms
to my dog that he was going to get better. When I told
my friends I was feeding my dog raw meat they could not
believe I would do something like that to 'my baby'.
Fast forward two years and he no longer suffers as much
as he did from his allergies...and we do not have to
give him steroids or anti-histamines to combat his itchiness.
So, with that said, thank you so very much and keep up
the good work.

"Thank
you. I have seen a noticeable difference in my pet's
stamina and over-all energy the short two months I have
been feeding your food. Thanks so much for making my
pet a happy pet!!"

"Your
food is great! I adopted a dog with severe allergies
and a suppressed immune system last September. I started
switching her over to your food in January, and the change
has been extraordinary. Flea season is just starting
here, but she made it
through the worst of the spring pollen without distress so I am hopeful
that her reaction to flea saliva will be less severe this year. Thanks
for a great product!"

"I
can't believe the difference in my wirehair terrier since
beginning your product. This dog suffered terribly
with skin allergies, leading to sores and constant scratching...at
one point I actually thought that I might have to have
her put down....she was so miserable...Since changing
her diet she has regained the original colors she had
as a pup, has the energy of a young dog, and is sooo...happy
with her little self...it truly has given her a gift
of life...thank you so much for this product."

"Just
a quick note to let you guys know how much my babies
are enjoying their new diet. I have two rat terriers,
one with an unspecific allergy. Since switching to Sojos,
amazingly no more skin breakouts! Thanks so much for
a wonderful product - I'm recommending everyone I know
with pets to switch their pet's diet to a natural diet!"

"I
wanted to thank you for offering such a wonderful product
for animals. Our American Staffordshire Terrier (Kori)
is just 10 months old and we've been feeding him Sojo's
European Style Dog Food since May 2004. Kori has always
been a finicky eater. I found that although I fed him
the "premier" dog food, I threw away more than
he ate. I tried everything, but he just didn't seem to
enjoy his food. When I discovered Sojourner Farms offered
what I had always thought to be the right way of feeding
animals, I purchased a bag and began the transition.
Kori took to it immediately. He would eat the Sojo's
mixed food and leave the rest. Within a week we added
whole vegetables and fruits as snacks and it helped make
the transition smoother. Every time we walk him, we get comments
on how beautiful and shiny his coat is and how white
his teeth are. The few minutes a day spent on preparing
his food a well worth it, since I know it won't be a
waste. Kori loves his new food lifestyle and we love
the results that have given us a happy, healthy, beautiful
dog."

"We
love the Sojos. Our dog trainer recommended it
to us two years ago when our Weimaraner was still a puppy. Today
he looks great! Beautiful coat and teeth and he
is also very slender. We recommend you to all of
our pet owning friends."

"Thanks
so much for the info you sent. I'll pass it on--looks
like your food provides lots of good nutrients! My Saint
Bernards LOVE your food! Plus chicken, ground turkey,
and chicken liver (only once a month due to its high
cholesterol and fat content, but it does have lots of
iron, I understand...) mixed in, of course. And--they
are absolutely thriving on it! Their coats are soft and
gorgeous, shiny, and they have lots of energy. In addition,
your food seems to manage their weight very well--important
since they all have had surgeries for hip dysplasia.
(I think perhaps I've written you about their hips, etc.,
before, but I do want to give a "high five" testimonial
for your excellent food products!) Thanks so much!"
