Instead of baking their dry recipes, which can damage nutrients with high temperatures, Fromm uses a low-temperature, high-moisture extrusion process that assures that all starch is thoroughly cooked and that no damage occurs to the proteins. Fromm schedules their production around the delivery of their fresh ingredients. Their recipes contain only USDA-inspected ingredients prepared at USDA-inspected plants in the Midwest, including their own dry food and treat plant. Every delivery of raw ingredients is thoroughly inspected by their team of quality control experts.
If you asked a four-star restaurant to prepare a fine meal for your dog, they might come up with a recipe as good as this one. Fromm Four-Star Nutritionals offer the highest inclusion levels of fresh meat, fruit and vegetables of any dog food on the market. And it is prepared in a manner befitting a fine, four-star restaurant. Each of Four-Star product uses the finest ingredients possible and is prepared in small batches. If fresh Pacific wild salmon is delivered to their plant in the morning, then salmon-based products are made that day. Few people take as much time and care as Fromm does to prepare their own food. But they believe it's worth it. So will you and your dog.

Feeding
The following are general feeding recommendations. Many factors including age, breed, activity level, and individual metabolism contribute to the need for adjusting portion sizes. Two to four times more food may be required for puppies, gestating dogs, and nursing dogs. Spayed or neutered dogs may require up to 25% less food.
The following chart provides a good place to start, but determining the correct amount of food for your pet depends upon your evaluation of your pet's overall performance on the amount of food consumed along with any treats given.
