We acquired a rescue Quaker. He was afraid of almost everything. I don't know what he had been through to make him fearful of fruits and other natural foods, but we knew he would need a good diet. Seeds are okay, but he would need more nutrition than they would provide. After some research we decided to try him on the Zupreem pellets. The ingredients are natural and with added vitamin, minerals, and amino acids. We hoped it would provide all the nutrition he would need without further traumatizing him. He took to the ZuPreem pellets right away. It has been his main staple for over 12 years. He is doing fine and has made some positive behavioral changes and slowly, we continue to build trust.
