| Calling All TOTW Feeders!!!! I am currently using TOTW High Prairie formula with Bison and Venison. I am interested in trying some of the other varieties like the Wetlands and the Pacific Stream. Do any of you feed these varieties, and which variety do you prefer. When feeding the Pacific Stream formula, does this cause any "fishy" odor in their breath, stools, etc. I'd love to hear your input and advice! |

| Ziva and Lucy (a 10 yr old wheaten terrier) eats TOTW Pacific stream- We tried this one because Lucy has terrible allergies and the fish seems like her best choice. The vet was ok with it even if it is high protein for an old dog, fish protein is easy to digest. She has some crystals in her urine on her last check but doing so well on the food that we don't want to change.(meds instead) Ziva does not smell fishy,and Lucy has actually stopped smelling! The smell is not objectionable- altho it is fish... |

| We feed the Pacific Stream too and it's the first kibble my picky eater just absolutely loves. Switching to the fish based protein from a chicken based one also seems to have helped her itchies. |

| We rotate between Pacific Stream - 25% protein and High Prairie which is 32% protein. Macy seems to prefer the Pacific Stream. Neither food makes her breath or her body smell any different. I do notice her poops are a little smellier with the Pacific Stream.

| We had started Pocket out on the Wellness. But we were almost out and Bruce went to the store and came back with TOTW Wetlands (canned dog food). I see there are the others now - High Prairie and Pacific Stream. Would it hurt to get a variety of each, or should I stick with the Wetlands?

| I just bought a can of Pacific Stream wet food too! Will try it tonight. (I put a dab on their dry food at dinner time) They say you can change between varieties of the same brand food, but I see a big difference in Lucy's "digestion" when I give her fowl. |

| I feed all four varieties - rotate them so they don't tire of one. My guys enjoy all of them equally EXCEPT for the Pacific Stream which they don't like as well - so naturally I don't offer that one quite as often. |

| Well, I found this place that delivers! And because Pocket is a foster they are giving me a discount! We paid $2.49 (excluding tax) a can locally and I am only going to be paying $2.19 a can (including tax) Even with their regular price I would only be paying $2.30 a can which is still cheaper than the local store. The delivery for a $35 order is free (in their Central Florida delivery area). They are not delivering in my area until the 4th April so I'll buy locally until then. They are in my area every 3rd Monday in the month and I just missed this month! For those of you in the Central Florida area the website is: The Pet Pantry They will Fedex out of the Central Florida area, but I don't know about the shipping charges. Oh - I ordered some of each canned variety.

| I'm going to have to price shop. I just paid $2.09 at a local shop and was kind of complaining because their sign said $1.99 |

| Zhoie is on Pacific Steam and loves it. She does the yorkie dance on the way to the sunroom where she eats and has her water. We are actually half way through our 2nd bag. YAY...and she doesn't seem to be tired of it. Keeping fingers crossed.

Yeah, it's always so rewarding when they eat something good for them . I rotate the different varieties to keep the gang from getting burned out. We've been doing TOTW for 2+ years now and they are still loving it. | ||
