First let me tell you all just in case you didnt know..:) TOTW is made at the diamond plant.. most people will not feed thier dog any food made at the diamond plant because of the huge recall they had in 2006 that involved several pets dying.
I fed my dogs TOTW for 3 months. I have a sheltie, beagle, toy poodle and at the time my yorkie poo was just 8 weeks old. That is the food that I switched him too when he came home from the breeders. They did good on it for awhile. I tried all 3 varities. My toy poodle took some convincing to eat it, she didnt gobble it down but she ate it. After about 2 months of them being on it, they all started to poop a ton, sometimes up tp 7 times a day, thier coats started to loose thier shine and my pups coat became really course to the touch, and he started itching agian, he also started having terrible gas that he would cry out in pain. My toy poodle who has always been around 4 pounds gained wieght, Tucker my pup gained 2.5 pounds in 6 weeks and my sheltie put on alot of weight also. When I took Tuck for his pup visit and shots my vet told me to get my dogs off it because she just didnt trust the high protien foods yet. It took me another couple of weeks to compeletly wean them all of it but once I did they all started doing better. Coats looked better, Tucker stopped itching and having gas issues and they all started pooping in the normal range, 2 to 3 times a day.
Do I think that its a good food.. yes, and I would still probably recommend it to others, it was way to high in protien for all of my dogs and not every food out there works for every dog. I can say that I wont ever put my dogs on something with that much protien again. I hope that you all continue to have good success with it..:) |
