    While pouring out food from my 30lbs bag of Fromm Gold a chunk of sticky copper pipe covered in hair fell out. I immediately checked the food and there was hair throughout the bag. My pup was sick for several days prior to this happening. I immediately called Fromm and spoke to their customer relations person and they said they'd get back to me. Three days later they called back and read a prepared state exonerating themselves. Stating it is impossible for this to happen, and loosely implied I was to blame. If you are unable to accept responsibility and create you own reality then you only care for your own well being. The whole family thing is a myth, its a corporate beast that would eat your pet to save itself. Don't play Russian roulette with your pet make better choices.

      My dog has been on Fromm Dog Food since he was born. The breeder told me that she had been feeding him Fromm's grain free (blue bag) and I continued. I liked that they had a loyalty program that after you bought 12 bags, you got one free. When he was 7, he was diagnosed with a heart murmur. My cardio vet told me there had been research suggesting dogs should be fed foods with grains so I switched to a Fromm food with grains.

      4 years ago my local vet suggested he lose some weight so I switched him to the Fromm's Weight Management. Everything was fine until this fall (2025) when he started getting diarrhea -- all the time. The best I could get were loose stools which were mush to pick up with a poop bag. After trying rice, probiotics and many vet visits, testing and antibiotics -- nothing seemed to work. I finally started narrowing it down and it turned out it was the Fromm dog food. I don't know if they changed the formula or I got some bad bags but I switched him to Fresh Pet and he is back to normal. I gave away the rest of the bag to a friend (after explaining what happened). She has a much larger dog and she mixed it in with her other dog food and her dog has not had any issues.

      My 2-year-old giant Schnauzer has been eating Fromm brand since birth. I am in the petconomy business and recommend Fromm to all of my customers. I just came across a second bag of bad dog food. This is absolutely unacceptable. The first bag that was spoiled last year I received no response from the company. I also received no response from the store where I purchased at Hollywood Feed.

      Both companies will be hearing from me again. My pet has been very sick. Upon further inspection of the food, it smells very rancid and it is oily. I am extremely disappointed and will no longer be recommending this to my customers. I will be sending a memo out to my customers and recommend that they stop using From brands immediately. Below is a plastic bag of the rancid kibble and the lighter color 8s a different batch of the same kibble.

      My 11 y/o German Shepherd Dog was really slowing down. He only walked once daily, did not play anymore and went to bed at 7 pm. After two days of Fromm lamb, I walked him 3 times. I adopted Vinny when he was 8 y/o. He was also abandoned and heartworm positive so I was not used to a very playful dog. After we got healthy, we went for a long walk once daily and two or three shorter ones. Time passed as it will and he started getting slower in his movement. His hind legs were beginning to give out and I was searching for a pill that would make him live for at least 10 more years. I know he had already lived a little longer than some of my other GSDs, but after he was not eating anything.

      My dog food guy brought over some Fromm canned food. I chose lamb pate and beef pate. He loved both of them! He did not have runny poops, and he had so much more energy! It has been several days and he still loves the food, still has more energy and I am delirious with happiness and gratitude. Now, to be honest, he still has weakened hind legs. (I did not expect miracles) But, he is willing and still able to walk a little farther. I thank Fromm food. ❤️❤️❤️

      I’ve been a loyal customer to Fromm since I brought my gsd home 5 years ago. Recently, I purchased 2 bags of food. After opening the first bag, I noticed something was severely off with this bag of food. The smell was quite rancid; the best way to describe it is moldy, dirty socks, but worse. Thinking it was just a bad bag, I opened the second to find the same putrid smell. After doing more digging and finding similar recent reviews, I see that this is an issue that is more than just a bad batch. Something has changed with the Fromm formulation for the worse, and I simply cannot risk feeding my dog something that makes me sick to my stomach just to smell. The lack of response and accountability from the Fromm Team to multiple customers, is beyond something able to overlook; this is not a brand I can continue to support.

      We’ve been feeding this to our golden retriever by recommendation of breeders as a premium dog food. We purchased a new bag from PetSense in High Springs, FL and upon opening was hit by an extremely pungent odor that is not the usual smell associated with the product. Thereafter for the next week our poor dog proceeded to have severe diarrhea. We discontinued the food after two days and have been feeding a bland blend since. Upon further inspection of the food, some of the bits had some find of small white particles clustered on the food. Reading other recent reviews there appears to be an obvious problem.

      We currently have three German Shepherds and have feed this particular food for around 20 years to all our dogs. The last two bags I have gotten smell rancid or sour. My husband described it as yeast(y). I returned the first bag but upon opening its replacement, it had the same smell just not as strong (yet). The whole family thinks it's such an off putting smell while it's in their bowls. I don't know what's going on with the food as this has never been a problem before and we have always loved this food for our dogs. I'm wondering if their manufacturing experienced a humidity problem. I'm hoping this won't be a continuous issue or we will have to look for an alternative.

      After opening a recent delivery of Fromm dog food, I was immediately hit with an overpowering, rancid smell. My husband suggested it might be due to being shipped in the summer heat, so I hesitantly fed some to our dog. Shortly after eating it, he became sick—a clear sign that something was very wrong. The smell of the food only got worse over time, and it became undeniable: the food was spoiled and completely unfit for consumption. For the record, we store our pet food in a cool, temperature-controlled room, so storage conditions were not the issue.

      We’ve been loyal Fromm customers and never had an issue before—but this experience has been a total disaster. I reached out to Fromm, expecting accountability and a prompt refund. Instead, they launched an internal “investigation” and after over a week, their only offer was a voucher—as if I would ever trust their product again after it made my dog sick.

      Even worse, when I requested a refund (since I had to throw out the entire bag and buy a new one), they told me I would need to mail in the itemized receipt, the UPC from the bag, and a hand-written note with my personal info. This outdated and deliberately tedious process is clearly designed to discourage refunds, not support customers. Fromm has shown they care more about procedure than pets. If your product makes an animal sick, a refund should be automatic—not a paperwork nightmare. Bottom line: I will never buy Fromm again, and I strongly advise other pet owners to stay far away. The risk is not worth it, and the company clearly does not stand by their product when something goes wrong.

      We have a 10 year old German Shepard. The breeder and trainer both recommended Fromm when he was a puppy. That is all we have ever used. Recently our Vet convinced us to switch him to a high end Purina kibble. Disaster! He lost 10 lbs in 6 weeks. His coat looked like crap and he was having 4-5 very loose stools a day. When we took him back to vet, they didn’t believe this was from the feed. We changed him back to Fromm. We added a little more protein in the form of eggs and chicken and added a probiotic. He is doing great! Took him back to vet 2 weeks later, he had gained 6 lbs and his stools are normal again. NEVER will we change his feed again!!! Keep up the great work! All future dogs will be Fromm Dogs!

      This is a customer service review and one product review. We are happy w/ FROMM wet dog food and dry. We've been using them for years and our vet approves. HOWEVER, customer service is difficult. I order direct to save money and they are incapable of crediting payment when a VALID promo code for some reason did not apply. I ordered treats for the very first time because the promo code required they be purchased w/ wet and dry food. I received them yesterday 11/7/2024 and they are NOT at all soft. In fact they are very hard. I wrote to FROMM and I'm jumping thru hoops over an $8.00 bag of treats. Pics of bag and I added a video to prove they were bricks!! They also requested I save they in case they want them back! Ok sure no problem, but I requested a prepaid USPS label so I can leave for our mail carrier. It's unfortunate CHEWY.COM does not carry this product line.. They have the BEST customer service.

      We have a 4 year old dog who will be 5 in a few months and we've always fed her Fromm. Started with grain free puppy, then switched to their 4 Star Nutritionals Chicken au Frommage for adult dogs (also grain free). We've always opted for grain free as many friends/family have had dogs with allergies (sensitive skin/hot spots) and wanted to avoid it altogether if possible. She has never had any skin issues and her coat is beautiful. She also has a pretty sensitive stomach and this food agrees with her better than others I briefly tried when she was younger. We tried all flavors, this one she never gets sick of. Her poops look great on this food too! We're in Milwaukee, so it's an added bonus to be able to support a family owned business based out of Mequon, WI.

      I’ve been using Fromm dog food for over 6+ years. My dogs are my babies - so when I saw multiple reports about Fromm and heart disease/taurine issues etc. (Even though I never had any issues) I decided to switch to a slightly more expensive brand that I basically only saw positive reviews/no controversy for. I have since switched back to Fromm, and here are the reasons why:

      1 - This could sound crass but ultimately their poops were very healthy looking always on Fromm - always solid but came out easily and normal color. To me that’s a good indication of body health. On the new food, it was definitely not as healthy looking (and I gave their bodies plenty of time to adjust to make sure it wasn’t their body adjusting to it).

      2 - The reason I switched to Fromm early on was because of my one dog’s allergy’s that seemed to be attributed to grain. I had noticed after switching to the new dog food that the allergies slightly came back (watery eyes, biting paws, scratching). Very shortly after switching back to Fromm she seemed to go back to normal.

      3 - My dogs are 7 and 8 years old - still very healthy and playful. Although I didn’t see any issues with this on the new food either, I have been giving them Fromm most of their lives so I feel that’s a good indication.

      4 - Every single time I open the bag, the food itself looks almost moist (in a good way). Literally every single dog dry dog food I’ve ever tried has always been very dry when I open it (including this new brand which was more expensive). There is a noticeable freshness to Fromm food.

      Conclusion: After looking again at the Fromm website, they make the point that it very well could be dog breed issues, which I think is a very valid point. A correlation does not equal causation (aka: just because a handful of dogs who take Fromm die of heart disease doesn’t mean that it’s the dog food causing it). The nutrition labels seem to indicate fairly healthy nutrition.

      2 Additional notes:

      - I do use an Omega-3 fatty acid supplement with their dog food called Grizzly Salmon Oil. I’ve only started using this in the past 6 months and have used Fromm well before then.

      - I will likely post this review elsewhere. I know people’s dogs are very important to them and I want to provide a case study that people can look at because that’s the info I would like to know. While this isn’t a scientific review, I know I’m objective about things and that I will provide as much info as I can in reviews. The reason I decided to note this is because I have a background in marketing so I’m somewhat suspicious if I see the same review in more than one place - ultimately, you will need to decide for yourself but I think the items above are noticeable measurable reactions that I saw. I can assure you I will be using Fromm from now on.

      Fromm Gold Adult dry dog food. I have been using this product for about maybe ten years. I found it at the Health food store but now purchase online. Since using this now on my second set of dogs now Labs. They are healthy. No food allergies as before with the other pups.
