Ooooh!! Thanks for posting this, Brit. I hadn't heard about this new variety. You know I'm an Acana fan, but I do like TOTW and am always on the lookout for foods without any chicken. And my babies really like TOTW, too. Hmmm, I wonder if my local store will be carrying this? I might just try it. |
I've just started my babies on the Sierra Mountain Formula with Lamb. They seem to really be enjoying it! I was able to find it at Pet Supermarket. |
Thanks for posting. I was not aware of the new blend either. We will definitely be trying it.:) sounds yummy |
I just bought some the other day. Boy, do they enjoy it. |
I have put my dogs back on totw pacific stream and read a few weeks ago on their site that they had the new formula out. Im waiting for my local tractor supply to strat carrying it, my dogs prefer the lamb based foods over anything else so Im hoping they will take to this one. Im hoping tsc will start carrying it soon! |
do they give out free samples of this?...wanna try it |
Anyone who feed the new formula sierra mountain..how much u feed you dog? My pup weight 6 lb and eats only 1/4 cup orijen puppy per day. |

This is an old thread I made but just wanted to say I went to the store the other day and picked up a bag of TOTW Sierra Mountain just for the heck of it. His Acana was nearly gone and wanted to try out this formula a while back but was always scared to because he got the runs from TOTW canned food once (it was a different formula). Anyways... for one, he LOVES the taste of it!! Two, the kibbles are not too small (he prefers larger kibbles). They are not huge or as big as Acana but still a good size. Third, his poops in the past 2 days have been great and smaller. So I'll let you know how it goes once the bag is done (I always keep an eye on his coat, his eyes, etc too). It's less calories (338 kcal/cup) than Acana (430 kcal/cup) so should I up his food amount??? |
I'm glad you bumped this back up! :) We switched from Orijen Adult to TOTW Sierra Mountain (our non-Yorkie could not tolerate Orijen after the formula change). We switched probably two months ago, and we are loving it! It's the first TOTW formula we have tried. The biggest difference I noticed was a reduction in eye tearing - a totally unintended consequence, but I do appreciate it. I did up their food amount, but only slightly. Levi was usually eating 1/8 cup 2 times a day on Orijen. He's now eating 1/4 cup in the morning and 1/8 cup in the evening and his weight has been steady. He weighs a little over 5 pounds. |
Thx for the response! Yes Jackson could not tolerate the Orijen change either! It figures too because he had really loved the Regional Red and only got one bag of it before it changed. OK... Jackson was eating 1/2 cup of Acana kibble per day with a tablespoon of wet food in each meal (1/4 in AM, 1/4 in PM). Maybe I will just play it by ear and see if he still seems hungry, etc... or up to about 2/3 cup per day? I think 3/4 would be too much. The bag says 10-20lbs should be fed 3/4-1 1/3 cup per day but that would be WAY too much for him! |
The Orijen formula change didn't affect Levi at all (he has an iron gut!), but poor Dallas was all out of whack. So much for it being an easy transition between formulas. I was really disappointed because I love the company, but it just was not working for us at all anymore. We played it by ear to see how much to feed, and I'm pretty sure I'm still feeding a little less than the recommended amount. I remember his recommended amount being around 1/2 cup, but that seems like too much...he tends to get a lot of extras in addition to kibble: canned food or Honest Kitchen or dehydrated Stella and Chewy's or veggies, plus treats throughout the day. I just monitor his weight and constantly feel his ribs and spine. I'm glad to hear that Jackson liked it! |
Ms. Picky Princess loves this. I just bought a second bag. I feed her about a 1/2 cup a day on average, but it does vary a little both ways. I was looking for the lower calorie TOTW since she's put on some weight & this happened to be it...out of what was in the store anyways. |
So far so good. Today he didn't even have a soft/runny stool on our walk!! I had posted a thread about how he was getting occasional runny or soft poo but ONLY on our walks... apparently it's pretty normal so not too concerned but kind of nice that he had a super small, dark, compact easy to pick up poo that didn't even smell too terrible today on our walk too! |
I added the TOTW Sierra Mountain formula several months ago to our TOTW rotation and the furbutts really love it. |
I normally feed Acana, but did buy a bag of this a couple months ago to try out. It is SO much cheaper. Both boys liked it, and did great on it. I normally give Chase 1/4 cup of Acana (with Grandma Lucy's in the am, and canned in the pm) twice a day, and I was giving him 1/3 cup of the TOTW (with the same add ins) twice a day. He lost about a pound, but the vet said he is a great weight, so not to worry about it. Chase is 14ish lbs now :) |
Has anyone else had a problem with very smelly poo when feeding TOTW? I like this food and my babies always did well on it, except I couldn't stand how strong their poo stunk. But, before I could only feed the Pacific Stream kind because of Alexander's chicken allergy. Maybe the other formulas don't result in that same overpowering smell? Even though this wasn't a fishy smell - it was just a realllllly bad, strong poo smell. I'd love to be able to try TOTW again if you guys aren't having any problems with the other formulas. |

A Rose By Any Other Name..... and S**T Stinks :interesti Quote:
Hummm Bonny,:idontknowwhat planet you are from :D but here on earth and more specifically in my corner of the world, SH*T stinks. You just can't avoid it, it just stinks. My dogs are :angel2dl: and I :love: them to pieces, but yes, they do have stinky poo. But for me it's a small price for what the TOTW does for their health and coat. |
LOL! I love poo talk, hahaha. Actually, Jackson's is not over powering or anything. But he goes outside so maybe I just don't notice it as much. But no in the past few days of eating TOTW it is actually less smelly than Acana. |
My girls also go outside so I don't really notice it. But, it Cooper has been known to have her accidents in the house and yes they stink, but I just thought poop should stink.:idontknow |

BUT, for my little gang the odor is just so much less when I feed NV or Acana. Now that I think about it though, the smell of TOTW is a huge improvement from when I was feeding Science Diet or (ugh, I hate to admit this) Pedigree (that was yeeeears ago). Thankfully mine usually go outside, too. But there are times when accidents happen (or when they REFUSE to go outside in bad weather) and when they do my nose thanks me for my choice. :p I really like TOTW, I think it's a great food, and I would feed it again in a heartbeat if something happened to our NV or Acana. |
Poo Stinker Stopper Why don't those of us who love TOTW but don't love stinky poo, contact the TOTW folks and tell them. Perhaps they can add a magical poo stinker stopper to their foods. Hey, its worth a try. |
If Ziva's TOTW poo didn't stink I would never find the little gift she occassionally leaves me behind the sofa!:D |
:sidesplt: POO STINKS? |
