    Firmer poops and a lot more energy

    “Maple has been a picky eater and would leave her meals out all day. I switched her to Get Joy and she immediately eats her bowl after I set it out! Her poops have become noticeably firmer and she has a lot more energy.”

    A picky, sensitive Aussie went right for it

    “Started our very picky and sensitive 7 year old female Mini Australian Shepherd on the freeze dried food and gut health supplement. No transition period needed, she went right for it and continues to eat it with no issues. I had noticed some grass nibbling and the gut supplement has eliminated that. Coat looks good and energy level is awesome. Thank you!!”

    Even our food-unmotivated dog loves it

    “Aero is a very picky, food-unmotivated dog, but he loves Get Joy. I use it as an ultra high-value reward for all his training - we do agility, Nose Work and he runs Fast CAT. While he turns his nose up for many delicious things including mozzarella cheese, Get Joy is his go-to!”

    He runs to the cabinet every morning

    “Toby, a mini-Bernedoodle, just loves it and took to it from the first taste. He now gets up in the morning…does his business outside and run to the cabinet where I store the Get Joy. It is gone from his bowl in a matter of minutes. I am very pleased with the nutritional value the food is providing Toby!”

    Two particular eaters, two clean bowls

    “Hoss and his brother absolutely love Get Joy! They can be pretty particular about their food, so seeing them get excited at mealtime and clean their bowls has been awesome. We also really like that Get Joy includes beneficial prebiotics and probiotics, making it an easy addition to their everyday routine. Hoss was especially excited when his first bag arrived… he practically skipped the whole “wait for dinner” part. 😂 We’re really happy we got the chance to try Get Joy, and it’s definitely become a favorite around here. 🐾❤️”

    She actually looks forward to meals now

    “We have a senior golden retriever with health issues, so we’re careful about what she eats. She loves Get Joy so far — she actually looks forward to meals now. It’s early, but she’s eating well and seems to tolerate it, which is a big deal for us. Happy with the switch.”

    Almost 18 and asking for her toppers

    “Our dog Annie will be 18 the first of October. She loves her food but she won’t eat it unless the toppers are on her food. I’m talking about the freeze dried kidney or liver treats. In fact, I put down her bowl and she comes back into the kitchen and gives me the look until I say, ok I forgot here they are. I only give her 5-6 pieces and she’s satisfied and will eat.
