| My breeder feeds 4Health. I wanted to try it out, but I can't find it near me.

| Thanks! My breeder actually told me that they carry it at the "Tractor Supply". But I had no idea that "The Tractor Supply" was an actual store Thanks so much!

| Those ingredients are for the regular 4 Health not the grain free formulas as of right now i guess tractor supply website is being updated the grain free formulas arent there at the moment other than the cat formula also for the people that dont like Diamond although i never had any issues i was told by the guy at Tractor Supply that another company actually makes the grain free formulas unlike the regular 4 Health formulas. I will post the ingredients of the grain free formula when its back on their website but believe me i was a firm believer of TOTW but i like this food and i havent seen any difference in my dogs coat the poop is pretty much identical and they eat it as if they still think its TOTW. The formula i use is Grain Free Whitefish and Potato but here are 3 ingredients that i know are in the grain free formulas-- cracked pearled barley, millet, brewers rice sorry im kinda lazy so i didnt feel like typing all ingredients from the bag. LOL

| Well I wouldn't trust what someone at Tractor Supply says about who manufactures the dog food. Both Taste of the Wild and 4 Health are made by Diamond. I am sure they won't have another company make their grain free food. The person at Tractor Supply probably doesn't know that Diamond actually owns and makes Taste of the Wild. It doesn't say Diamond anywhere on the TOTW bag. They probably mean TOTW makes the 4 Health grain free. I may be wrong, but that would be my guess. You said it has barley and rice? Those ARE grains. If they have an actual grain free 4 Health formula, then it would be VERY similar to TOTW.

| Thx Teresiana for posting the ingredients thats the formula i use now the Tractor Supply website is still being updated by the way when i said the guy at Tractor Supply said that Diamond doesnt make it i was actually talking to someone at the headquarters over the phone when i was trying to order samples of the new grain free formulas sorry for not clarifying that earlier. Sganow i made another mistake in the earlier post i meant these grains(cracked pearled barley, millet, brewers rice) are NOT in the grain free formulas.

| Just by looking at the ingredients list, it looks like a pretty decent food. The GA looks very similar to some of the TOTW formulas. I'm sure it's a good food in its price point.
