Testimonials

We can't thank you enough for creating a dog food that made a huge difference in our Bullmastiff's health! Samson was having skin issues and horrible gas before we tried Beaverdam dog food. He was on a $55 a bag holistic dog food. We thought we were giving him "the best" and tried two other high end dog foods hoping they might make a difference. Finally, someone suggested Beaverdam. So, we made the switch, and within 2-3 weeks we saw a huge difference! His coat was so soft and silky plus the gas is gone! Three years later, Beaverdam is the only dog food we will give Samson! I'm so grateful that you make a product that we love, he loves and that is reasonably priced! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

It was a pleasure to meet Angelina at the Apple-Scrapple festival where she accepted some free samples of our dog and cat food. She wrote us back the following: "We got 3 sample bags of dog and cat food, and all of our pets (8 in total) love it!. As humans, we are corn, wheat, soy free and excited to find this food that is the same, and free of many toxins. Thanks for the free samples!"

In May of 1988, we as a family opened Green Acres Lawn Furniture in Whitehall, PA. Our goal was to provide the best quality products for the best price with excellent service, while also providing business experience and work for our seven children. With God’s blessing, that first year was a huge success and we continued to serve the Lehigh Valley, expanding as our family partnered with us and more customers came to know and trust Green Acres quality.

As our sons joined in managing Green Acres, their vision brought more growth, a second store in Easton, PA, and then a third in Georgia. Our name has changed to Green Acres Outdoor Living. Our product line has grown tremendously. Green Acres Fuel division was added. Many wonderful employees joined us. We have continued to enjoy bringing to you, our valued customers, the best quality for the best price and with excellent service.

Recently, on a trip to Delaware, we met Truman Schrock, the owner of Beaverdam Pet Food . He also works with his family and has values as we do for quality and a fair price. He gave us some samples……and our two Yorkshire terriers gave us very convincing proof that this was quality that they had not tasted before!! They go crazy over the food and the chews and treats. We had personally been looking for a high quality dog and cat food, sourced and made in the USA, and without harmful ingredients. The prices are very fair and we have continued to be impressed.

In line with our company goal of providing the highest quality and value for real needs that you have, and knowing that many of you have pets that you love and are concerned about, we are personally recommending and offering for sale Beaverdam Dog and Cat Food and the full line of treats and chews. Try it and let your pets tell you how good it is! We invite your feedback, and encourage you to tell others who are seeking a quality pet food.

Blessings to each of you and may you have happier, healthier pets!

"Thank you for your promptness. Oreo loves your product and looks much better. I think he would no longer be alive if I hadn't learned of your cat food."

Update on Oreo several months later:
"I am happy to say our cat is doing great! Skin has cleared, no itchy areas and a great coat!"

I'm a volunteer at a local cat sanctuary, Josie's Place, where we recently started using Beaverdam's Jiffy's Pride Cat Food.

Within a few days, there was a marked decrease in the amount of waste in the litter boxes. Even better, there was a noticeable decrease in the odor. We realized that we could feed the cats half the amount of Jiffy's Pride than we had been using of the store brands, and they were cleaning the plates without leaving hungry. We learned that without all of the fillers and additives in the national brands, the cats were getting all the nutrients necessary for a healthy diet and all of the good taste they desire. There's less waste because they are using all of the ingredients and not passing them. And, there is no throwing-up. Jiffy's Pride is very gentle to the digestive tract and makes for an efficient digestive process.

After two weeks on Jiffy's Pride, the cats had more energy and animation and two weeks after that, had softer, shinier coats. The changes have been nothing less than miraculous. I'm ashamed to think of the harm that I've caused the cats by feeding them junk food for so long, but I'm more than delighted with the results of feeding them Beaverdam Pet Food and won't revert to the old ways. As it turns out, Jiffy's Pride is more economical because it takes much less food to get a better result. It's a "Win-Win"situation!!"

My boxer, Monroe tried the "Skipper" from Beaverdam and she loved it. She eats all of her food in minutes instead of wandering back and forth to her bowl. My husband and I were ecstatic because it gave our toddler a lot less time to eat the dog food off the floor! We are excited about supporting a small business and feeding our dog a quality dog food that's better for her health. Thanks Beaverdam!

I have to tell you that we have already recommended Beaverdam Pet Food to a friend in Hartly, DE. Also I have a sister in Laurel, MD. Both of their dogs (a Skye terrier & a Collie) have had skin problems, so I told them to check out the food. My sister went to the Dutch market in Annoplis, MD where the food is sold. She and her daughter noticed changes with Lassie within days after they started feeding the new food!

Timothy had just bought a puppy from Nancy & Levin Vansant and received a sample of Beaverdam Puppy/Adult Hi-Energy food. His dog loves the food and he wanted to continue using Beaverdam Pet Food. We offered UPS shipping to him. This is what he writes:

"Thank you for the excellent service. The food was there when we got home last night. We love the food & our dog loves the bone that you threw in.

With the excellent service and a great product you have, the sky is the limit for your company.

I am happy to be one of your customer and plan to be for many years to come.

You are welcome to use my testimonal.
Thanks again,

I have a friend in Florida with 5 cats, all of them with stomach problems.

So, after I started feeding my own cats your Sheila`s Pick cat food, I decided to send her some of my cats food.

In one weeks time the cats were back to good health. I told her to have your food shipped to her by UPS. Her remarks were that the shipping costs on the food will be a lot less then the Veterinarian costs that she is paying now and she still would have sick cats.

I have been a dog trainer for more than 40 years and have tried almost every brand of dog food available. The dog food I have chosen for high performance and hunting is Beaverdam Dog Food. My dogs love this food. It is very important to me that the food I use do not not contain undesirable by-products and ingredients.

We wanted to take a moment to thank you for producing such a great product. We have 2 Shar-pel (which are known for their numerous health conditions) who are doing great on it. We have tried every brand imaginable and when we bought our first "plain white bag" of Beaverdam pet food, our search was over. Before finding this product, we had been feeding them a very expensive Lamb & Rice formula, which they did ok on, but not great. I came across one of your advertisements in Smyrna Food Lion, and decided to give it a try. I`m so glad I did. Both of our dogs suffered from dry skin, dermatitis, and sensitive stomachs. There have been periods of time when we had to cook chicken and rice for them ourselves in an attempt to help them out. By the time they had finished the first 20 lb bag of your food, we knew we were going to be loyal customers. Their hair coats look so much healthier, and they finally have relief from their extreame dry skin. They can finally enjoy lounging around without scratching themselves all day! I recommend your product to everyone I know who owns a cat or dog, and I follow up with them to make sure they at least give it a try. I know once they do, they will be the next ones sending you a testimonial!!

Thanks for helping our pets,

Dear Mr Schrock
We want to thank you for producing your Beaverdam dog food. We have a 14 year old chocolate lab. Last winter he was not well enough to hunt, and we were going have to have him put down this summer. In February we bought a female chocolate. In August when it was time to change from the puppy chow, we decided to try Beaveardam for both dogs. Well, the puppy is doing wonderful, but the miracle is our older lab. His over all health is a complete change for the better. His coat, which has been getting progressively lighter and more washed out over the years, is now the same color as the puppy`s. He now gets up and follows us around the yard again and eats every bit of his food.

Thanks you so much for making this wonderful product, and I hope you continue for many years. We are spreading the word!

I wanted to let you know that my husband drove to the hardware store in Mardela Springs, MD several weeks ago to purchase some of your dog food. He bought the Hi-Protein product. Our dogs love it!! Our small 12 pound dog has so many allergies, is a very picky eater and she gobbles it. Our black lab`s coat has never been so soft and shiny. Both of them do not have dry skin anymore and have much more energy. I had been taking our little one to the Vet every two weeks for skin and food allergies, but since feeding the Beaverdam High Protein food I have not had to take her back. My, what a saving!! We have spent $1500.00 on her. I wish that I have known about your dog food before, but like they say better late then never.

Thank you so much for producing such a great dog food.

We were passing through Delaware on a family visit and stopped by a store carrying your product. After reading the label and brouchure, we bought a bag of Adult cat food. After using Iam`s for 15 years, we switched to Sheila`s Pick 30/12. Our cats love it! Excuse the descriptive nature of the comments, but your food not only goes in easy but it comes out easy and sometimes that`s an issue with older cats.

Thanks for making our cat`s lives a bit easer(and ours too).

Sincerely,
Mookil, Sassafras and their family

I have been faithfully using the Beaverdam dog food since our first meeting. The Russkly Tou dogs are doing so very well, we have helped 3 healthy litters and finished two young dogs on their first outing to be shown. I know the dogs overall condition and coat were a big factor in their success. We have plans to continue showing our dogs and are staying with Beaverdam in the breeding program of these fine little dogs.

Thank you for developing a product that keeps their health and well-being a priority.

We are most satisfied with Beaverdam Pet Food. Our yellow lab, Gretchen, is now eleven years old and is doing great. For the past two years she has been eating Skipper`s Choice and loves it. In fact, she is hesitant to eat anything else.
A few weeks after we started using this product we noticed that Gretchen`s stools were more regular and solid. We also noted that she had more energy. I just took her to the Vet and she was given a "clean bill of health" and deemed (by her vet) to be in great shape for an "old lady."

Thanks for this great product!

At our residence we now have two dogs. The oldest is a male, yellow lab named Jasper. He is now 18 months old and has been on Beaverdam-Puppy/Adult Hi-Energy food since I got him at 8 weeks of age. Now, I know that he is a young dog, but I can`t get over how beautiful his hair coat is and most of all how he doesn`t smell bad. To elaborate a little, he doesn`t have that proverbial "doggy odor". I am really amazed to see these kinds of effects just by the food I give him.

Our second dog is my wife`s bichon Frise- Snow Angle (I refer to her as the little white foo foo dog"). We got her when she was 9-11 weeks old. The breeder we got her from gave us a bag of Diamond Puppy food and told us to continue with that. Because of my wife`s persistence to do as the breeder says and against my opposition to just put her on Beaverdam like we did with Jasper, we had her on the Diamond puppy food until she was about six months old. Keep in mind our little puppy has one problem - a very heavy eye drainage. This left her muzzle stained almost completely black (on an all white dog) and a smelly, unpleasant odor from the drainage. We had talked to the veterinarian about this. He put her under and did a full exam on her tear ducts and flushed them. His findings were that the tear ducks were there, intact, and normal (no blockage etc). He told us there was nothing that could be done for this problem and that this is how our dog is going to be the rest of her life.

It was at about six month ago we started Snow Angle on the same food we were giving Jaster (Beaverdam Puppy/Adult Hi-Energy)
dog food. It has been two months now and much to our surprise her eye drainage has just short of completely stopped. There is still a very small amount of drainage, but based on what we have seen, once her existing stained hair grows out, we expect to have an all white dog without a black muzzle from eye drainage. I can`t hardly believe it, but seeing is believing!!

Since I have been feeding my Maltese Beaverdam Pet Food the stains on my dog's face have disappeared. I recomment this food to everyone who has a pet!

Just a brief "thank you" to let you know how much I sincerely appreciate the interest and support shown towards D.A.D.S. (Delaware Animal Disaster Service). Having support from your company that has a product of such nutritional value as yours is most sincerely appreciated. I started purchasing your pet food since I first learned of your product at one of the D.A.D.S. micro chipping events. I have found it to be of superior quality and am confident when serving it to my cats! Having this confidence is so important to me based on the past experiences others have had with purchasing products that cause not only illness, but death to their beloved animals.
Again, thank you for your support and product!

Just a short note from all of us to say how much we enjoy the food you have for us.
Our Mom & Dad buy it at Lloyd`s Food Rite here in Lewes. It`s just perfect and keeps us healthy and able to get into all sorts of mischief. Its also good for our skin & hair coats as well, The three of us will be 1 year old on April 24, 2006. Our great Uncles, Shadow and Lewes also send their approvals.

A very big Meow and best wishes from Teddy Bear, Pooh Bear, Honey Bear Shadow and Lewes Kosaveach

Beaverdam is the greatest pet food I have ever fed. Since I started feeding my dog (a Maltese) Beaverdam dog food, the stains under the eyes have disappeared.
Also I have 6 cats and since I have start feeding the Sheila`s pick cat food, the cats have quit vomiting!!! What a relief.
I would recommend this food for any one with
pets.

My dog is proof that your food is indeed superior. He loves it and so does his bowels!!
No more gas or diarrhea! It seems his sensitive stomach problems are gone. Thanks for making such a wonderful product that the public can TRUST!!

As I mentioned before, my 16 year old springer spaniel chases after lawnmower, moves easily up the stairs, eats your food with eagerness, and generally has a smile on her face--- although I may be the only one who can see it. She even chases after and plays with my Turkish Van cat, who is 15 years old. My cat is less obvious in her feeding time with her enthusiasm, as she prefers to be more "sophisticated " -- ha!! This is certainly in sharp contrast from the lethargic, slow moving, decrepit, unhappy pets I lived with before.

My vet had recommenced euthanizing my dog last spring. I just happened to notice your display at Willey Farms Store. I want to add that now MY life has improved also. I anticipate living a longer time with two beautiful, loving animals. Thank you so much.

Sincerely,

I have 8 cats ( 6 indoor 2 outdoor ) and a dog. My dog is nine years old and the cats range in age from four to twelve years of age.

After reading the information that you sent to me on your products over a year ago, I have been feeding all my "Critters" your food. They were previously fed an expensive food that is often Recommended by vets across the country. Your food is reasonably priced and my pets seem to be thriving on your products.

The cats do not shed as much and rarely have hair balls.

I have a twelve year old male cat that has Diabetes and is doing well on your food also.

My Best to you,

Hello, In an attempt to find beef (and other meats ) not loaded with antibiotics and hormones, we discovered Sam Yoder`s Farm & Store.

We decided to look at Beaverdam Pet Food and were astonished at the price!

We read the article contained in your brochure right in the store, and I knew we had to try this food for our two dogs: after all, if we were going to eat healthy, I wanted my dogs (who are basically our children!) to eat healthy, too.

It's only been just a couple days I know, but here's the really surprising thing. One of my dogs is a German Shepard dog, she is from the Rescue and has always been a picky (picky doesn't even really do it justice) eater.

We have been feeding Iams (in the green bag) for quite some time because it seemed to be the one thing that she'd eat And not give her loose stools. As soon as I put it down,she ate the whole thing--AND DID NOT GET DIARRHEA !!!

I cannot wait to see what happens with some longer-term use of the product. In quality and price, it seems it cannot be beat. I am thrilled that both my "kids" love the food, and we are thrilled with the price and quality.

THANK YOU for such a great product, and for showing on-line where we can get your products in the area.

A new satisfied customer,

Debra Groh (Gretta & Meeko)

We Love Your Food !!!

Ok, so maybe I haven't eaten it but it thrills my heart to see my dogs eating it and loving every bite.

I do poodle rescue and have 8 at the moment. I was giving my dogs Beneful when I noticed that they were turning an unpleasant rust color every where they nibbled themselves. I called Beneful about this and found out they have red food dye in their food. Then, when we had all this food recall and I just didn`t know what to do, I was looking around Food Lion in Denton MD, when I saw the Beaverdam display. I carefully read the information and got tears in my eyes because I was so relieved. I immediately bought a bag, grateful too, for the pricing, and have been feeding it to my dogs ever since.

Belive it or not, I do a free feed and have little problems. They eat the food with enthusiasm, have not put on any weight, and their coats are improving.

Also, sent out an email to about 225 friends and got a good responses from them. Now I am taking bags of food across the bay bridge to friends who cannot find it over there. Their dogs are loving it too.

AND WE ALL HAVE GREAT PEACE OF MIND NOW.

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!

Gratefully,
