| Taste of the Wild food? My picky eater (so far today) loves TOTW canned food. I had bought a few different cans of high quality foods that I've heard of and today was teh day to try TOTW. He loves it! If he continues to love it I'll keep buying it for him. I know it's grain free but what else about it is desirable? The quality of the meats? I can't find much info out on the web about it, other than stores online selling it. Can someone point me to an article or something that will explain why it's good? Thanks!

| I actually just found that thanks though. It feels good knowing that my picky yorkie seems to really like food that's healthy for him. Only time will tell though. I may have to periodically rotate TOTW canned foods as it seems he gets bored of the flavor of foods after a few days. Thanks again!

| No problem! I actually was trying to research brands myself only a couple days ago and came across that site. I found it helpful, so I just tried to find it again to post. The lady who owns a pet boutique in our town only carries Taste of the Wild and a brand called Canidae. If you need to switch up your wet food later, perhaps that would be a good choice! Good luck!

| I've been feeding TOTW Sierra Mountain, for... maybe a month now? We love it here. Jackson's always been pretty picky. But he's been pooping a lot less on this food and his poo's are more solid. He also loves the taste! I was feeding Acana for a while prior and I probably will still keep it in the rotation, as he does well on that too. But TOTW has been his favorite taste-wise and it's also been the "best" his poop has been

| That's great! Today is the 3rd day of feeding my baby the Pacific Stream formula canned food. I can't attest to his poop because I don't walk him (physical disability) my dad does. I'll ask him. He seems to be doing fine on the food. It hasn't given him the runs or anything, no vomiting either so that's good. I'm so happy he's eating a healthy higher quality food. We just went out and bought 3 more cans of the Pacific Stream and one of Prairie and one of Wetlands. They didn't have the Sierra kind in a can at that store. They did have huge bags of 2 kinds of the kibble that I saw. They also had EVO and Acana sample bags up front. But it seems Bentley doesn't like any kibble, so we will quit trying to feed it to him. But now that he's eating canned food (the ONLY canned food he'll eat that we've tried) I'm not going to push kibble. We'll leave it down for him though in case he wants to snack on it during the day or night.

| My two dogs eat the TOTW pacific stream kibble and do great on it. I bought a can of the same and was glad they loved it and had no digestive problems with it. It was a little smelly but... maybe that's what they liked.I've been buying it online- the prices are great, no shipping charges and better prices than I can get locally! |

| ritapatt, Where do you find online stores without shipping charges?? I would buy it online if there were no shipping fees. Is it cheaper than in pet stores per can?

| I have used a couple different companies, whoever seems to have the best deal. Right now PetCareRX has great specials. The TOTW cans are 22.79 for 12 cans =$1.90 per can. Most stores around here are 2.29 +tax.The free delivery makes it worth it! Make sure you sign up online first so they have enough time to send you a few "new customer" offers... |

| That sounds like a great deal! I don't remember how much we paid per can, I'm guessing $2.20 or so but I'll check the receipt if I can find it. I'll talk to the money-makers in teh house (my parents) and see if they might be willing to order online. But first we need to make sure Bentley will actually eat the food long-term and not become bored with it and stop eating it. Today Bentley didn't eat but about half of what I put down, which was about 1/2 cup total. I hope he isn't getting bored with it already. I'll feed the same fish kind tomorrow and see if he eats it. Maybe today was just an off day for him.

| Ziva is 2 years and 7 pounds. She really is not that big of an eater, she eats 1/3 c of kibble and less than 1 Tbsp of wet type food per day,not to many treats either. Except for swimming every few days(when she begs for more food) she really doesn't do much in the summertime -it's way to hot here, so she is not very active. She looks very healthy and holds her weight so I don't worry about whether she eats all her food from day to day- I'm sure she gets tired of the same food but she gives in and eats when she is hungry.I sneak her leftovers to the big dog and start fresh every day. |

| So far my dog is eating 1/2 cup a day of the canned TOTW. 1/4 in the morning and 1/4 in the evening. I'm happy with that seeing as he's not active at all. Haha. Wow 1/3 cup? That seems so little! But then again kibble is more concentrated than canned (I think). I'm glad it works for your baby. Thanks for letting me know how much she's eating. It gives me an idea of how much I should be feeding. I know Bentley is a little overweight, not much though so I hope that he'll lose about a half of a pound or so. At last weighing he was 7.8 pounds. He looked great at around 7 pounds. I've beat it into my parents heads that they really need to cut back on giving him their food. And I also started cutting the greenies in half and give him only 1/2 a day instead of one full one.

| TOTW sent me 4 sample size bags (Sierra Mtn). Looks good and I may rotate to try it when this bag of Acana runs out more.

| TOTW is sending me a sample but the vet that answered my email thought it was for a cat Haha, although I do have a cat it's not for her, it's for my yorkie. :P So I replied back as soon as I could (just got home in fact) and told her it is for my dog. Hopefully they won't send out cat food, although I'd be willing to give it to my cat. But she has a very sensitive stomach and so far has done well on *ack* Science Diet Senior formula. I wonder if switching her to a grain free food will fix her stomach upsets... Hmmmmmm. She is accustomed to SD I don't want to upset her stomach. I might mix it in a little with her food and see how she does.
