I just switched my Abby to TOTW and she loves it! Eats more than I have ever seen her eat--she is a picky eater. Her poop has never been extremely smelly but now I have not noticed any smell. |
Just FYI.... Foods confirmed to be ethoxyquin-free: Innova Evo California Naturals Blue Buffalo By Nature Flint River Ranch Fromm Merrick Petcurean Timberwolf Wellness Orijen Acana Nature’s Variety Life’s Abundance Halo (Spot’s Stew) Horizon Pinnacle Canine Caviar Eagle Pack Evangers Castor & Pollux Evolve Nature’s Logic Grandma Mae’s Ziwi Peak Nature’s Logic Foods confirmed to use ethoxyquin (should be avoided): Diamond Canidae Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover’s Soul Solid Gold Artemis Taste of the Wild Iams Eukanuba Natural Balance Hills Premium Edge Fosters & Smith Nutro Kirkland Snick & Viv |
I tried a bag of TOTW (bison) and all my dogs had REALLY BAD gas! Very stinky and the poo smelled very strongly (bad) also. I had a big bag, so we finished it off thinking it was just the change in food and they would get used to it. NOPE! I bought a bag of Wellness this weekend. They seemed to do okay on it last time I tried it. Just wish it was smaller chunks. |

"I thought it was confirmed that Iams and Eukanuba do NOT contain ethoxyquin? Although, even if they don't, they aren't good for other reasons and I wouldn't use them anyway." I'm not positive..but that's great if they are not using it.:) -Snick & Viv |

Please see this link and post #22 http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...g-foods-2.html It will clear up some of the ethoxyquin concerns....it is not ONLY in kibble that has fish it. Smiles- Snick & Viv |
Thank you for the heads up. Looks like we will be changing food again....... |
We were feeding TOTW and I was pretty confident that we were doing a good thing with it being a higher rated food, with seeminly good ingredients and grain free. It's hard for us to find anything good where we live. I started looking to change over to something better once I realized it had the ethoxyquin in it. I was concerned because Teddy and my Golden have serious skin issues while on it but I have been attributing to a flea issue that is worse now then we ever had. After some research I wanted to use Orijen but cannot get here so we are switching to Blue right now. I think it is a good food but I am still not happy because it is not grain free so I will keep looking untill I find something better and use the Blue in the mean time. When they were on it I didn't notice any problems with more poo or smellier than usual poo. Between the three of them, they had one to two poos a day. |

I used to feed my boys TOTW roasted duck formula. I guess I never noticed smelly poo. But it didn't do their coats any favors and I noticed a lot of gunk in the corners of their eyes. Since I switched them to Precise, the gunk has gone down and their coats look SO much better. Plus they eat the food better than the TOTW. But then again, Jack is always another story (such a picky eater). |
