As fellow pet lovers, nothing means more to us than hearing how our food has made a real difference in the lives of pets and their families. It’s stories like these that remind us why we do what we do. When we heard from Sophie about her beloved dog, who had been suffering from severe IBD, we knew we had to share her story.
Sophie’s Story - Discovering Sabre Pet Food has genuinely been a lifesaver for my dog with IBD.
“My dog was nearing the end of his life, battling severe inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the small intestine. After years of helplessly watching him suffer, trying everything from prescription diets and medications to countless different foods, nothing seemed to help. He had dropped to just 38kg and was struggling to maintain any weight. We were heartbroken and starting to accept that we couldn’t let him continue suffering much longer.
The food our vet had recommended wasn’t making a difference, so after extensive research, we decided to try Sabre Pet Food’s DARF Insect Hypoallergenic Dog Food. The change was nothing short of incredible. Within just three weeks, he had gained weight — now 41.3kg — but more importantly, he was brighter, more comfortable, and finally enjoying his meals again.
His digestion has settled, his coat looks healthier, and he now has the energy for short walks and even a bit of playtime, something we had almost given up hope of seeing. Sabre has given us more precious time with him, and for that, I’ll always be deeply grateful.
If your dog struggles with IBD or food sensitivities, I can’t recommend Sabre enough. It has truly been a game-changer for us.”
The food Sophie uses with her dog is our DARF Complete Insect Dog Food – Hypoallergenic.
