I personally don't think that the 32% protein will be bad unless there is a medical condition that requires a lower protein level in the food. The people where I buy my food tried to steer me away from Taste of the Wild and said that their concern with it is the higher glycemic index rating (sugar content). They suggested Pulsar (made by Horizon, I haven't tried it yet), and Precise. My dogs are currently eating Precise Foundation and seem to be doing fine on it. It is not grain free though. Another grain free food in about the same price range as TOTW is Earthborn Hollistic. I think that also has a little higher protein. I still don't think I'd feel bad about feeding TOTW though. It is the best food Diamond makes. A lot of people feed it to their dogs and most seem to do very well on it. I sort of like the ingredients on the Wetlands formula because it uses chicken fat instead of canola oil. It is also 32% protein. I thought that if I end up getting TOTW, I'd start with the Sierra Mountain. Unfortunate that your baby doesn't care for it. I tried Before Grain buffalo formula and my dogs absolutely loved it. It was sort of high in fat and I was concerned about weight gain since my dogs are free fed though. Boy, they sure went through that stuff! I guess once you find a good food that works out well, it's worth it to stick with it. Good luck on your food quest.
