"Zoe loves the food. I haven't weighed her yet, but she's definately gained weight with this diet. Her teeth look awesome and her coat is shinier and prettier than ever. She has tons of energy, too! I tried my dog for three months on Eukanuba Wilderness, and was completely dissatisfied with it. Over that time period my dog lost weight, her coat lost all its luster and shine and started shedding, and to top it all off... she didn't even like it. All this at over 30 dollars a bag after my employee discount! I'll never go back to kibble. Over the years I've tried brands ranging from slop (Ol Roy) to really nice stuff like Eukanuba, Nutro, Wellness, Authority, Avoderm, and middling ground brands like Pedigree and Pro Plan. I pushed Nutro for years because I had the best luck with it. I'll say it again: I don't think I'm ever going back to kibble. Thanks so much!"

"After dealing with our new puppy, Stella's food allergies, runny stools, dry itchy skin, bad breath and gas, we were desperate to find a solution to all of her health problems. She wasn't happy and neither were we! We tried every food the vet recommended and every high end food on the market. We spent so much money and time trying to find the right dog food, just to end up back at the vet paying for supplements and prescription shampoos. Finally I just had enough. I looked all over the Internet and found an article about a raw diet for pets. I have been hooked ever since! I will never go back. After feeding her raw myself for a couple of weeks and feeling overwhelmed and broke, I found the SAD dog diet on craigslist and it has been a miracle. It's easy to feed. It's pre-packaged and clearly labeled. It's way easier and also much cheaper than feeding the diet yourself or ordering from the popular BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) website, but just as good. Since transitioning Stella to SAD, we have gotten another puppy and she's been eating the diet since she was 11 weeks old! Now Stella is perfectly healthy with clean teeth and breath, and a shiny coat that amazes everyone who sees her. Our dogs don't even consider commercial dog food to be food anymore! "

"When our new puppy, Luna, got a hold of a batch of brownies I rushed her to the vet's office. They told me it would be a good idea for them to keep her overnight until her vomiting passed and she was feeling like herself again. I agreed because they are the professionals. Well, they then asked me what food she was eating so they could introduce food into her system and make sure she would eat. I told them raw. They wouldn't do it! They wanted to feed her a cheap commercial dog food instead. She already had poison in her and they wanted to feed her by-products, preservatives, and grains on top of that?! It just shows how little some vets know about a dog's nutrition! Dogs don't have the same digestive systems as people and even if they did, would you eat what's in commercial dog food? Our vet has even commented on Stella's beautiful coat and perfectly clean teeth before, and when he found out it was because of her diet he proceeded to tell me about bacteria! Talk to people who have been feeding their dogs raw and interact with their dogs. Make the decision for yourself and don't be afraid of your vet's threats if he doesn't approve. Remember that vets run a business and a Species Appropriate Diet puts a big damper on that business!" -Alyssa Stubblefield
"We have already seen a MAJOR reduction in poop sizes/amounts. We have also been amazed by how soft both coats are! We are seeing a reduction in plaque too. They are transforming before our eyes!
Thank you so much! I really wish I took before pictures of Bailey's teeth. The vet said it would take TWO cleaning sessions to clean his teeth.....that means twice being sedated and he is just a year old. BUT now his teeth have NO YELLOW on them! Think about the cost to sedate a Great Dane twice and two teeth cleanings (not to mention the side effects of sedation) and the diet has already paid for itself for MONTHS! We just could not be happier and love to tell people about your service." -Suzanne Higbee
Feb. 9th "I saw your ad on craigslist and I was wondering if I could get more information. I have a small (15 lbs) dog and she has very bad skin allergies. I switched her to a prescription brand that the vet recommended and she started having seizures so I am back to square one with her skin. I was wondering what is in it and how much it is monthly? Feb. 25th - Her skin is so much better! I am not sure what it is in dog food that causes it. She has not had any more seizures. I spoke to her vet about it and she will neither confirm nor deny that it was the food that caused it, she is still saying it is a coincidence." -Ashley Crosson
"I smile every time I take out the pre-mixed bags and by the way...the S.A.D. Dog diet costs LESS than I was paying to feed my dogs raw ground meat and the dogs like it better - again - no mess and fuss for me. I would recommend S.A.D. Dog to anyone who wants to improve their dog's health - it makes perfect sense to me to feed a dog as they would eat in the wild." -Julie Weiss
"S.A.D. Dog Sushi has been so great to work with. Alissa and Rich have been so accomodating and stay in contact to make sure everything is going well. They are always available to answer questions when they come up or to make modifications to the diet as needed. It feels great to know that I am giving my pets the healthiest diet possible." -Margaret Stambaugh

"I'm a small scale miniature dachshund breeder and had wanted to switch my pack to RAW. I had been studying the plans for a few months but just didn't know where to go or where to start. That's when I found S.A.D. Dog Sushi. I order in bulk so I don't get the pre-packaged meals, but it's still super easy! With my pack I'm only paying about 30% more per month to get a far superior diet! My overweight dogs immediately lost weight (one girl is down 3 pounds and looks great!). My dogs that pack it on easily are staying healthy and trim. And my litters are being born all healthy and thriving! I can't ask for more!"
"For the health of your dog, quite simply the best food. S.A.D. Dog Sushi gives the best service, variety, value, quailty ease of use, everything! Helpful and informative. Definitely will cut down on expensive teeth cleaning. Feeding this diet should not be considered "alternative" and "radical" but correct and healthy. If you avoid processed food, shouldn't your dogs? Cant say enough about them." -Maggie Parker
"S.A.D. Dog Sushi has been a fantastic service for feeding my dogs. I wanted to feed raw for several months but was concerned about the cost and time preparing the meals. Then I discovered S.A.D. Dog Sushi! They do ALL the work for me delivering the meals in individuals baggies with each dogs name and contents clearly marked....I just plop it in the bowl! It costs half of what it would if I purchased the food from the grocery store. S.A.D. Dog Sushi transitioned both of my dogs and they just how to do it! They kept in contact with me wanting to know how the dogs were adjusting to the new diet. It is truly the best thing I ever done for my dogs. Their teeth are sparkling white and their breathe is fresh. Their coats and general appearance have never looked better. Their poop sizes are are greatly reduced...this happened all within a few short weeks. I'm saving money now that teeth cleaning are no longer needed (my vet thought I had taken my dogs elsewhere to have their teeth cleaned...nope it was just the diet)! I no longer need to spend tons of money on teeth cleaning treats either. I really just can't say enough about the diet and this service. It is actually EASIER than feeding kibble since you don't have to drive to the store. My dogs LOVE their meals too." -Suzy Higbee
"S.A.D Dog Sushi L.L.C is simply a dream service for pet owners. Raw food done "rare" with free delivery service, in the Austin area. Great owners who truly care about the dogs they serve. Healthy fresh raw Dog Sushi, your pet will never look or feel better." -Kym Ubele
"I found this very handy service on Craigslist and my questions about feeding raw to my dogs were answered on the first e-mail. The dogs love it and are improving in hair and skin areas. The wide selections, portions for each dog, and home delivery leave more time to enjoy the company of my dogs and start a liter of pups on raw feeding. Fast answers to any questions increase the quality of service from this company."
-Joseph Parker
"I have been feeding my cats and dogs a home-made diet for many years and switched to totally raw after getting onto the http://Leerburg.com forums...finding good suppliers has been a challenge because I don't want to feed factory farmed meat to my critters and shipping the stuff has been expensive. When I saw SADdog's add on Craigslist I was hoping for the best and these folks have delivererd!!! Literally!! Ordering is as easy as an email, they bring it to my house and its the freshest and best smelling raw I have found. Alissa and Rich are delightful, dedicated and very well informed so I have been telling all my pet-owning friends about them. I especially like how easy they make it to just take the plunge...I had researched a LOT and felt ready but it's been hard convincing people that they really can do it. I am quite willing to speak to anyone who has any questions about our experience with raw feeding and I can't recommend these guys enough!!" -Saffron K. Hall
"S.A.D. Dog Sushi has made our lives so much easier and are so grateful that a coworker of mine recommend them. We feed all 5 of our dogs a raw diet and having these guys prepare and deliver the food right to our door could not get any easier. They portion out food for each dog according to their weight and other info they gather from you to specialize a plan for each of them. Just go onto their website and it explains it all. You can even email them and they respond to you right away with any questions you have, they are really easy to work with. We actually save money by having them prepare the food for us and get a much better assortment without any waste. If you have ever tried to prepare your own animals raw food diet, you know what I am talking about...it can be a BIG MESS!! This way it's virtually mess free, quick and easy. The food is great quality and very fresh. This meat looks better than what I buy for myself at the store. Our dogs are so much healthier eating a raw diet...our dogs are so excited to eat they can't get out the door fast enough for us to feed them! S.A.D. Dog Sushi, I hope you are around forever because I don't know what I would do without you guys...I am totally spoiled!!" -Cathy Castleberry
"Ok, so I was extremely hesitant to go raw when I first started reading about the diet, but the more I read the more I learned that is the only true diet for dogs/cats. I was convinced going raw was what I needed to do, the only difficult thing was "where do I start?!". I was so lucky when I found SAD Dog Sushi! They answered all my questions and made it extremely easy to start my puppy on his well deserved raw diet. They pre-measured everything, packaged everything in individual bags, and even wrote what all was in it! I thought surely this was going to be financially out of my league because it was way too convenient . Fortunately enough, it was very affordable especially given how easy it was to start and how healthy it is for my puppy. SAD dog sushi is the best, easiest, and most convenient way to start your furry ones on the raw diet they need. They are always available to answer any questions. Did I mention they deliver to you!! How much better can it be? Love them!" -Christina Garza
"In Austin it is difficult to find people who feed their pets raw, but to actually find a service that makes and prepares everything for you is more than I could've hoped for. I have been feeding raw to my dogs for 4 years, but I just never could get that much variety. I came across an ad on Craigslist and contacted S.A.D. Dog Sushi. I wondered why they were called SAD, when it makes my dogs so HAPPY?! Well it is an acronym for Species Appropriate Diet. I received my first week of food (chicken backs) and was amazed by the freshness and how it was all measured out for me to feed my dogs so easily. Also, the price was better than what I was paying doing it myself! And the variety is great; they just can get stuff that HEB doesn't have, plus my dogs LOVE it! They are happy and I am happier than I was when I was doing it myself, because I have more time to play with them now! I just love that there are people out there who actually care about the welfare of animals...truly care about their health. There is nothing sad about S.A.D. dog sushi! My whole pack loves them...and they deliver for FREE in Austin. You guys ROck...thank you S.A.D. dog sushi!" -Corinne Ford
"I am so excited to have discovered S.A.D. Dog Sushi - I have been wanting to put my Pup on a Raw diet but just did not have the time or resources till I found this place. My Pup has dry skin and I was buying a 20.00 bottle of Flax Seed Oil to add to her kibble to combat her dry skin. I recently switched my Pup to a raw diet and her coat is gleaming with no flaky skin or scratching! SAD Dog Sushi is a great bargain as they deliver raw meaty bones (Nigri) muscle meat (Sashimi) and organ meat (sushi) - free delivery in Austin with a 50.00 order that lasts a month." -Tara Morrison
"Makes feeding your furkids healthy raw food as easy as can be. I started mys recently adopted guy on raw after he had been eating kibble for years & he made the switch in just one meal. The quality & freshness of the food was perfect and it's wrapped & labeled so that you know which meal to thaw on each day. All this and no running to the pet store or grocery to shop for pet food. Two paws way up!" -Heather Greywalker
