I used to feed the Wetlands Blend with great results. Some of the best kibble out, about $2.5 per pound. Now I feed raw

 

I feed it and i have had 0 troubles with it. can't say it made my dogs any better on it though, blue buffalo was already just as good for my dogs, cept the price of it kept going up so i switched to totw.

 

While there is evidence to suggest that at high doses ethoxyquin may cause reproductive diseases, dermatological, hepatic, renal and thyroid problems, as well as carcinogenesis in dogs, there is really no evidence to support this position in dogs or cats at the FDA-approved levels of ethoxyquin in the diet.

 

how is raw coming along for ya?

 

I use the bison formula. Dogs are doing very well!

 

no complaints. I have to constantly fight for freezer space but other than that its all good.

 

I use TOTW Pacific Stream Formula since one of my dogs has bad allergies. I've used other brands with good success, but they were just too pricey. TOTW seems to work great for my two, and it works better for my wallet. Been using it for about a year now.

I would rather do RAW, but I have no room for a freezer and finding cheap meat around here is next to impossible.

 

me 2 but the old lady isnt going to mess with it if im not around.

 

my pup's cool with it. lol.. a cheapest high quality 6 star rated according to dogfoodanalysis.com

I might switch to Orijen when he mature or get to adulthood..

good stuff

 

I'm using the Wetlands one right now. Actually, so far, the only food all my crew seem to do good on. I've been trying forever to find one they can all eat instead of having to store five different kinds of food. lol

 

totw gets a thumbs up from me thats what i feed and unless i go to raw its what ill be feedin!

 

I just switched to TOTW pacific stream. I was using Innova, but my girl started having breakouts of hives. After evaluating everything, one step at a time, I decided to go with a grain free kibble. After a week I see a great improvement. No more scratching at night and nice smooth coat/skin. So far I am happy with it. It is about the same price as Innova adult.

 

I tried TOTW for close to 4 months to see if it would be an upgrade to Nature's Variety Prairie, I notice my dogs coats lost their shine and started getting lil dry this was my experience their stool was just the same as with the other brand.

Went back to Prairie less expensive and better results.

Currently Trying Natures Variety Instinct Grain free.

 

I use the one in the yellow bag, Bison formula ? I have two seal females and got a lot of comments on on how nice there coats are looks like I sprayed them with armor all. I have one that has allergies also and she is doing well on it.

 

It's a class 5 dog food (there isn't very many foods that make it to that class). I fed it for about a year to all my dogs and they look fantastic on it, I temporaily switched to raw diet but after a month of that I decided to go back to TOTW. Mostly because I don't have the freezer space to properly feed raw and spending 1/2 hr to 45 minutes everyday preparing dog food was too much time for me to want to continue, on a side note I didn't really notice any difference in my dogs looks between the TOTW or the Raw diet with the exception of their stools.......

 

The yellow bag is the wetlands blend. AGK, I haven't really noticed a difference in raw vs totw stool stayed the same. Had a problem with leaning out too fast in the winter.

 

I have the same issues with the dog in my avatar, I can't keep weight on him, he looks conditioned 24/7. I add in tripe to his diet but he still is just a very lean dog, the others all look great on it though.
