Yummy cake

From: Emma R.
Subject: Thanks so much for the yummy cake

Hi Luciana,

Just wanted to say a big thank you for the cake and food. The dogs loved the cake, but as they are little pigs, I had to ration it out over a couple of days. I included a photo below of them just before Bundy slapped the tray to get her hands on it.....(you can see Gypsy had just started to lift her hand too) The cake and tray dropped on the doona, right way up thank goodness and my brother had to grab it as the two hounds dived for it.

All my dog lover friends have been enjoying the photos and video of the girls running around the back yard with their cake trying to find a secret spot to eat it.

Thanks again,

Emma

Birthday Cake

From: Shirley W.
Subject: Birthday Photos

Hi Luciana,

Here are some photos of me having my yummy birthday cake. I like to share my cake with Cointreau, my doggy friends and Mum always has some, she kept some for today so I should be having some for my afternoon tea. Must remember to be good and not dig any holes in the mud until after cake time. The last two days have been very busy and I am tired trying to catch up on some sleep, back seat driving isn't easy. It was nice to meet you and see where my cake comes from, Mum says next time we visit Sydney we might visit you again now we know where you are. I vote to only visit Sydney if it is dry as you saw I am not very keen on going out in the rain. Suns out going to find a warm spot to laze about in.

Thanks again for the yummy Birthday cake.

Gianni

From: Joanne.
Subject: RE: Gianni

Hi Luciana,

I thought you might like to know that for about the last 6 months Gianni has been vomiting [sorry – not a nice subject] on a regular basis. It has the Vet a little perplexed as we can’t seem to identify any pattern or cause despite quite a lot of testing etc. The only food that he can eat that never makes him sick is Sassy Treats. So from Gianni and me a very big thank YOU.

Take care

Joanne.

Buddy

From: Natalie.
Subject: RE: Buddy's food

Hi Luciana,

Thanks for delivering Buddy's food yesterday.. it looks great!! (i felt like eating some he he). He ESPECIALLY loved the treats!!! I've never seen his eyes fixated on me for so long after giving him just one treat. He even put his paw up for an extended period of time in the 'shake' position - hoping that would win me over for another treat (which it did ha ha!)

Thanks again :)

Bailey

his amazing diet has played a big part in his recovery!

From: Jane B.
Subject: Re: delivering this FRI 1st May

Hi Luciana,

Excellent...just the usual for us please (14 of each). Also...a further animal health update. Bailey had to go to the vet about corneal ulcers (AGAIN) but while he was there I had him re-tested for thyroid hormone. It’s back to normal....yay!!!! No more drugs!!! Once again THANKS...I’m certain that his amazing diet has played a big part in his recovery! On that note it might be a good idea to include a few of the “my dog’s too fat” meals in the mix now that he is not having his metabolism artificially sped up.

Thanks heaps,

Jane

5th Birthday Cake

From: Shirley W.
Subject: Testimonial

Hi Luciana,

Finally some photos of Sparkles 5th Birthday.

As you can see the day was lovely and sunny so we could go outside and share the wonderful Birthday cake. Mum sang Happy Birthday to me and cut the cake but not before I got to take the first bite. I shared my cake with Cointreau cat (he wanted to sit in the sun and not eat cake – goody more for me) & some of my doggy friends who walk past my house for a play through the fence in the afternoon, the cake was a real treat for them all. I conned Mum into taking me for another drive so I could deliver some cake to my groomers dogs, just because I am big doesn’t mean I don’t like a good bath and pawdicure on a regular basis.

I hope the photos are big enough for you if not let Mum know and she can send bigger ones to you. Thanks for getting my cake to me so early in the day and making my Birthday really special.

Luv Sparkles

Pixie & Rex

and those Easter Treats!!

From: Sally L.
Subject: Easter Treats

Hi Luciana,

Thanks for the Easter treats! The bunny brunch was a 'huge' hit...The Easter eggs were also very popular. Mums 'fussy as anything' greyhound went nuts over the mini eggs and her 'fluffy white thing' made off with Pixie and Rex's big egg. It was very funny as Rex chased after her and reclaimed at least half!

See you soon!

Pixie & Rex

what about those meals!

From: Sally L.
Subject: Testimonial

Hi Luciana,

Just placed our second order. I cant begin to tell you how happy we are with 'Sassy Treats'. Our little monsters have scoffed down every meal we have put in front of them....they just love it!! We love it because we know they are getting all the nutrients they need without all that artificial crap in commercial cat foods. AND its sooo easy and I shouldn't say this but 'bloody cheap' for such a great product!! The only problem is we can no longer eat takeaway in peace as they see a take away container and go absolutely nuts thinking its their Sassy Treats.

I have recommended you to all my animal owning friends and restaurant customers :-)

See you for now

From: Susana A.
Subject: Re: thank you for your order

Hi Luciana,

I would just like to thank you for providing such a great service for anyone who wants to feed their animals a more natural meal. Jackstar and Zazabelle have been eating the food now since Monday night and they love it.

So much so they now leave their comercial biscuits until they eat the Sassy treats diet first. The cats well all 3 love it Sylvester the 11 year old thought it was fantastic to eat fresh diet again as my mother used to make up for him every couple of days.

The Siamese Sami and Zabeel well they were a little unsure at first, but today when I got home from work Zabeel was at the fridge waiting to be fed. So much so they now leave their comercial biscuits until they eat the Sassy treats diet first.

Again thank you very much

Susie and George the humans :-) :-) :-)

Sylvester the old one, Sami the all time show winner, Zabeel AKA little boy, Jackstar always busy chasing something and Zazabelle the biggest of the pack

Bird

From: Debora B.
Subject: RE: news May... included photo's of Sassy Kids O & D

Hi Ciana,

Dali is growing big & strong & absolutely loves his Sassy!! He is 3 kilo's at 10wks, Orli was half his weight at that age lol

he's a real funny little character who talks & grunts constantly of course tail wagging as he growls... hehee is a smiling/wagging assassin! He eats as much as his sis!. I asked the vet if I should try control the amount of food he consumes & he said no let him go for it as he is a growing boy but to be careful when he is adult. He does expend alot of energy chasing & playing with Orli :D

I look forward to sending future photo's as they grow. Am sure they will be excellent examples of how feeding pooches Sassy (especially right from the word go) makes for sparkly eyed, shiny coated, thriving doggies... am confident the benefits or Sassy will be obvious :D

Cheers Deborah, Orli & Dali Bird

Fudge

From: Sue - Time To Walk
Subject: Re: Analysis of Fudge food

My beautiful 11 year old Staffy girl, Fudge, had a routine blood test prior to having a few lumps removed and it showed her Urea at 25.9 (normal is under 10). I was horrified to learn this could be early kidney failure.

I contacted Luciana for diet advice and she immediately came up with a recipe suitable to ease the load on Fudge's kidneys while considering Fudge's high activity level. 1 month later Fudge's blood was re-tested and her Urea was down to 13 (still high but way down!). Fudge's energy levels on Sassy Treats' special food was great and Fudge enjoyed every morsel each night.

Under my Vet's supervision, we did a food trial to ensure it was the food that made the difference. We put her on a Premium Dry Food which she had been on before the initial blood test.1 month later Fudge's Urea was back to 22. Fudge is now back on Sassy Treats' special Kidney diet and very happy!

Thanks you so much Luciana, it is eases my mind to know that my fortnightly delivery from you is made with love and the health of my darling special girl in mind.

Subject: Finally From Harry and Sally in Perth!

Hi Luciana,

STOP PRESS!!! From the 2 Dallies in the WEST!

Well...... are we soooo pleased that you can deliver in Perth!!!

As you know Harry has had Sassy Treats since he was 8 weeks old and we so missed your food when we relocated to Perth. We have been receiving our regular shipments for some months now and we have been so much better health wise!

When we relocated we had to eat dried food and we had 12 months of tummy upsets.......picked up every bug going ( maybe the stress of the move too) BUT we have not been sick since we went back on Sassy Treats. We traveled overland to Perth via the Gold Coast to visit our "Nanna". Luciana sent us Sassy Treats there ( frozen for our journey) so we didn't miss out across the Nullabour ! When we have our dinner sometimes we get a chicken wing too, we put that aside so we can get to our Sassy Treats first, especially Fish Cakes!

Well we are looking forward to our Christmas Dinners and thanks Luciana for organising our Air Express deliveries. P.S. Harry's Birthday was 11th November too!

Lots of licks and wags,

Sally( 7) and Harry(3) xxxxxx

Diva (and fiance)

From: Lisa M.
Subject: RE: did you receive your order ok?

Hi Luciana,

I thought I'd give you some feedback on the biscuits that I purchased for Diva!

I give Diva 1 biscuit before I goto work if she is going to be left on her own during the day. She devours them in 15 seconds or less, so I'm guessing she likes them!!! However she is not the only one!! I took the biscuits out of their original wrapping & put them together in a container in the fridge to keep them fresh & so the chocolate wouldn't melt. I came downstairs mid afternoon on Saturday to find the container completely empty except for 1 biscotti. I confronted my fiance with the empty container asking him why he had given Diva so many biscuits in 1 go... To which he replied with a horified look on his face... "Were they dog biscuits? Why didn't you label it?"... He said they were really nice & thats why he ate the whole box!

I just wanted to say thank you & let you know that there are now 2 fans of your biscuits in my household!

Its only thanks to your amazing food that Lynn has got to 9 years old and the vet sent a seniors letter to me..

In fact when she first got pancreatitus we were told she would do well to get to 8, and now she is 9, and I know its all about her good diet with Sassy Treats.



Thanks from the bottom of a mothers heart !

Toto absolutely loved the food. I then made up some rice with chicken and vegetables and he turned his nose up to it. Apparently my food is boring to him. So he can have a variety of both

But good job on the product!

Oscar and Bundy

From: Anne Maree G.
Subject: Thanks!

Hi Luciana,

I gave my vet the number you gave me and printed out some info from your web site, she seemed happy with your food and the info, but I'm not sure if she actually called that vet.

However she must have done some investigating later on because she said that your food was up to some Australian standard (like Hills food) which she said was a very high level to achieve. She then said that your food was great to feed Oscar with his diabetes!

I'm so glad that I have access to the food you provide, especially with Oscar's diagnosis, as it is hard to have time to make home cooked food myself which has all the right nutrients etc....So Thank You!!

Of course not to mention Bundy and Oscar love it!

Regards,

Anne Maree, James, Bundy & Oscar.

Banjo

From: Jennifer P.
Subject: So happy on the beach

Dear Luciana,

Since starting to eat your Sassy Treat meals about 6 weeks ago I am so happy and bouncing full of energy when I run on the beach.

I was always such a fussy eater but now that I’ve found your treats I can’t wait for dinner!

Also I was having such trouble with my coat, it was falling out in patches and I was so embarrassed to go out. But now, it is thick & woolly as it’s meant to be.

I’ve noticed I don’t get cranky or impatient any more so I’m allowed to go to cafes with my family regularly.

I have told lots of my friends about Sassy Treats so I hope they get to enjoy them too.

Attached are some photos of myself on the beach to show what fun I have with my new bouncing energy. There is one of my friend Sebastian too, (he’s the black Spoodle - I’m the creamy Bichoodle).

Lots of love

Banjo

Luciana, Banjo wanted to write this letter himself, but I vouch for everything he says, the changes in him have been quite wonderful.

Patti and Selma

From: NIKKI BUTTFIELD - HEINEKEN LION
Subject: testimonial

Hi Luciana

just wanted to write a couple of words to thank you so much for your incredible passion, enthusiastic support, reassurance and guidance with my new girls, patti and selma.

having owned and adored dogs all my life, the addition of two lively kittens to my life has been a process of rapid adjustment... prior to bringing the girls home, your generous support was outstanding. everything from how to save my furniture from being decimated by cat's claws to the type of diet they need. as a consequence, i didn't buy stuff the girls didn't need and when they arrived home, they very quickly settled in. they love their toys and have worked out their favourite spot in the sun.

i bought a range of sassy for them to try and we've spent time sorting out favourites. they go nuts over their chicken necks (selma growls like a lion as she picks apart her prey), the treats are a huge hit and when i carry the main meal down the hall, they chase me, attempting to scramble up my leg! the girls are enjoying a healthy, low-fat, balanced diet, which is a great source of comfort for me.

i've considered the cost of regular cat food over sassy - sassy wins hands down... a sassy meal comes in at under $1 for each cat. with their treats and chicken necks, a day of feeding my girls costs $3.50. on regular cat food, dry food and processed treats, it works out at $3 per day. however, the quality of supermarket bought food is poor (ultra heat treated, highly processed off-cuts and fatty waste products, filling agent, congealing fat, preservatives, chemicals and water makes up the bulk of the meal), which serves no useful purpose for the kittens (and will result in them being overweight).

when i consider this, as well as your outstanding personal service, home delivery, free advice, incredible passion for what you do and your genuine love of animals, i can't think of a better business to support with my custom. i'm telling all of my animal-owning friends about the amazing level of personal service you offer.

so, a huge thank you for making the effort to follow your passions. your products fill a huge gap in the market and i'm sure that there will be a great future for your business. the trouble will be how to fill the demand, not how to support the dream!

Hello Lu,

How are you? I bet you thought I'd fallen off the face of the earth! Well no, I'm still here and so are my boys. We're all good. Just letting you know that I've finally been able to place an order. Christmas then an onslaught of birthdays took it's toll on my purse strings so the poor little boys had to suffice with the bear minimum. : ( But now we should be back in business. : )

I guess I should expect you around the last Thursday of this month? Anyway, you'll let me know.

Nippet has been doing fine with the hot weather actually, no itchy spots yet. ( Fingers X ) I think his immune system has been given a boost from your wonderful food and that's why his skin is glowing. Mind you, they are still a bit tentative when I put their dinner down. They look up at me with their big brown eyes and say " but I want what you're eating!". However, I look away knowing that their coat will be all the more soft and shiny in the morning. Well, if this e-mail isn't a plug for your food I don't know what is! : ) Keep in touch.

Luciana,

When you're the kind of dog that's on the go, sometimes you can be left with that not-so-fresh feeling that other dog foods don't adequately resolve. I find that, after a hectic schedule of parties, photo shoots, and sniffing, there's nothing I like more than to cuddle up with my two monkeys and share a king-sized tub of Sassy Treats Moroccan Lamb. See how glossy their coats have become!

Subject: Testimonials

Have I died and gone to doggy heaven?

It only seems like yesterday I was trying to do it alone on the streets, eating out of garbage bins and what ever my cute little looks would win me from a passing stranger. Life was TOUGH! Only two years old and one foot high! with no one to turn to and all sorts of hazards and dangers to look out for, big dogs, skate boards, roller bladers, joggers, IT'S A JUNGLE OUT THERE! Then it happened, a street dogs nightmare - the POUND!!, is this the END? will I never get to mark another tree? or sniff another rear end? Sitting in my cage at the pound for weeks on end this looked like my reality, I was on DEATH ROW, how much worse can a dogs life get!!

AND THEN my luck changed, Monicas Doggie Rescue found me a home (and just in the nick of time, the noose was just about around my neck), not just any home but a Sassy Treat home!! I'M STAYING!, Food glorious food! I just want to bath myself in it, it's on tap, this guy who calls himself dad (and tells me what to do!) just keeps pouring it on, I can't believe my little eyes when it comes out of the fridge I start shaking with the anticipation of shoveling this stuff down my throat. You can keep the streets, just give me Sassy Treats!

Dear Luciana,

My Mummy fed me some Gingerbread Postmen this morning. I was very happy and gobbled them all up!. Mummy asked me to thank you for letting her bring home some Sassy Treats. Even though I'm not a dog, I still beat my cousins Molly & Willie to the treats every time! I even ate a "Molly Moo" which tasted very nice. It was fun to eat, because I was getting Molly back for all the times she tried to eat me through the back sliding door!! Meow! Meow!

Mummy told me that she is only going to feed me Sassy Treats, because they are much better for me. Especially if I want to be strong enough to beat up Molly & Willie! REEEEEEEEEEEEEOW! (That was my very best Kitten roar, just for you! Was I scary?)

Lots of love,
