We brought James Bond our Boston Terrier into our home when he was 8 weeks old. We noticed right away something was wrong. He was extremely bloated, very gassy and his bowel movements were not normal. We took him to the veterinarian’s the same week to figure out what was wrong. Our veterinarian ruled out the possibility of worms or parasites. Testing showed everything was negative. Our veterinarian suggested we switch his puppy food to a veterinary brand for sensitive Bond … James Bond” stomachs. So we did. A week went by and he seemed to be getting worse. So back to the veterinarian we went. Our veterinarian diagnosed him with gastroenteritis so he was put on an anti-biotic (metronidazole) to help make him comfortable. It seemed to help him out a little bit but not enough to completely rid him of his symptoms. When the prescription was finished James Bond was back to feeling bloated and uncomfortable again. We did not want to continue medicating our poor little puppy. There had to be another way.

We then decided, along with the help of our veterinarian, we would make homemade food for James. Dr. Carol gave us a copy of Hilary Watson’s Complete & Balanced cookbook and a jar of HILARY’S BLEND supplement. This was the best thing that could have happened to James Bond. The very first recipe we tried, Puppy Recipe #9 was the cure! His symptoms disappeared completely. We had a bouncy 11 week old puppy, with the added bonus of his coat changing from being dull and flakey to it being extremely shiny.

People say our dog is spoiled. We say if spoiling your dog is feeding him the best food possible then yes we spoil our dog. We have continued spoiling him with homemade food and will continue for the rest of his life. He is now 1 and 1/2, he is eating his homemade adult food and loving every bite. James Bond thanks Hilary Watson from the bottom of his heart for sharing her recipes with us.
