  Taste of the wild, few others? Reply Contact Anybody feed this? Our local dog bakery now has a frequent buyer program. Orijen, nature's variety and TWO are just way too expensive. They have by nature, Taste of the wild, fromm, and before grain. I had never heard of before grain, but i picked up a sample and the boys loved it. Any feedback on these is mucho appreciated!

  Re: Taste of the wild, few others? Reply Contact Prancer's been eating the Pacific Stream TOTW kibble for about a month now.   She loves fish, so I'm not surprised that she likes it.  I switched from Natural Balance Fish & Sweet Potato after NB couldn't provide me with the complete nutritional analysis for the food.  TOTW had it the detailed spreadsheet to me by email in 15 minutes - I like them if only for that reason ! People ask me if I think dogs go to heaven. I respond: Of course they do ! Heaven could only BE heaven if dogs are there Prancer: June(ish) 2006 - 13# poodle mix - rescue Michelle: 1994 - 2007.

Reply Contact My dogs were on TOTW Pacific Salmon for a while and they did SO well on it.  Best food they've ever been on by far.  It was just too cost prohibitive for us to keep feeding, but that is my choice of food for them.

  Re: Taste of the wild, few others? Reply Contact I thought it was a pretty good bang for the buck.  If I mainly fed kibble I'd probably use it full time.  The fishie variety got two paws up from Ben, no itchies or other reactions.  It wasn't quite as good as Core -- Ben looks almost as good as the 100% raw on Core - but pretty good for the money.    Becca Shouse: Irena Farm, Semora, NC Cord, Ted, Gus, Zhi, Maggie, Lynn, Lu, Min and Tully Waiting: Bubo & Ben "We didn't have a phone, and we couldn't call you!"

  Re: Taste of the wild, few others? Reply Contact I had fed KayCee the TOTW  High Prairie and she loved it.  Then I switched her to the TOTW Wetlands--and she loved it.  honey is on the Welands version and loves it.    I did lose my KayCee to cancer 9 1/2 weeks ago--that is the bane of Golden Rtrievers--before I ever gave her the fish version.  One or two more bags of theWetlands and I am  going to try the fish formula on Honey.  She loves fish, so are sure she will love it.

  Re: Taste of the wild, few others? Reply Contact Harley has been through 2 bags of TOTW and is on his third.  He had a huge change in energy level and coat within a month of starting this food.  I was amazed that Harley was full of energy.  He really likes this food.  First we feed him the High Prairie, then the Wetlands and now we are trying the Pacific Stream.  This particular food is the only one he has been on that he eats enthusiastically.  PACE- Positive Attitude, Changes Everything!

  Re: Taste of the wild, few others? Reply Contact are just way too expensive don't calculate your costs by the price per bag- you need to calculate by the price per kcal. Go Natural, for example, is VERY expensive per kcal. So is Wellness Core. Nature's variety prairie beef is much more economical than TOTW; TOTW fish formula, Nature's variety prairie salmon, and solid gold barking at the moon are all about on par. Nature's variety instinct rabbit is only slightly less economical than TOTW.  This assumes prices in my area, yours may differ.

  Re: Taste of the wild, few others? Reply Contact The facts that it are (for me) grain free, a better food, and available locally as well as reasonably priced.  Besides Harley loves it and is doing the best on this food compared to the others we have tried( Timberwolf, solid gold, wellness to name a few).

I have never seen a dog line up to chew wheat, rice or soy....  oatmeal ? well dump the sweet taters on it and we can talk.. barley ? a bit better ... Dogs , I think , know what they want... and they are not ashamed about it.  When my pups, unruly and radical charge the stove they do NOT go for the rice, ( unless it is covered in cheese) , they do not charge the bread... but if there is meat, fish , chicken, scrambled eggs, dairy or  potatoe salad  well we are sharing dinner with the Beasties tonight !!   Dogs love only a few fruits in my pack, my blueberries and blackberries ...gone the moment they are ripe!   My tomato plants ? sheesh , grown just for the  dogs I think, I speant about 57.00 for 2 tomatoes.    Leave a pot of oatmeal they are on it... leave a loaf of bread rising and you have a very , very sick dog!!   Hmmm tell me something.... what about you??? Of course my dogs can eat road kill without issue but soy the Vegan's delight?   Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas city ! Peeeeeuuuuhhhhhh!!!     I expect the EPA to storm the dog house and bust all of us for global warming !!
