Buddy

Remember Buddy? Well, look at him now! We can hardly believe this is the same dog!  Thanks to your support, and a nourishing diet of CUDDLY Salmon & Rice Dry Dog Food, his skin has healed beautifully, and he’s officially ready for his next chapter. First, let’s take a moment to learn how he got to this point.

When Buddy was initially found, it looked as though his skin had turned to stone. Mange had overtaken his entire body, causing him discomfort at every waking hour. Only a puppy, his cruel owners dumped him on the streets to die. His skin was so fragile that it bled when touched. His pain was truly unimaginable.

Once in our care, Buddy was given a series of medicated baths, antibiotics, pain medication, and, of course, lots of nourishing TLC. We had to be gentle with him, careful not to split his skin. Despite his agony, he still nuzzled into us, desperate for human attention. He never deserved this hard start to life.

From the very start, we had Buddy on CUDDLY Salmon & Rice Dry Dog Food, which was instrumental in his recovery journey. This comforting food helped heal his skin quickly, promoting fur growth that soon revealed a stunning coat. All of our rescue pups will be transferred to this food ASAP, since it made such a clear difference for Buddy. Sensitive skin shampoo also helped, as did a lot of patience and grace.

Day by day, Buddy continued healing and regaining strength. As soon as he was feeling better, his personality bloomed—he enjoyed running around outside and lounging on the couch, just watching the world go by.
