Taste of the Wild food?

[GoofyBritt]

Hmm I can't comment on the kibble since my baby won't eat the kibble but I feed him the canned version of Pacific Stream. I am looking at the PS kibble (it's on a plate next to his canned food plate) and it's flattish and a bit bigger than an M&M. It looks the same as the High Prairie kibble except darker I think.

I wonder why Mickey's eyes are runny. Bentleys eyes get a little runny but we think it's from pollen or another type of allergy. Maybe that's what's causing it? Although Bentley's eyes have been much less runny since we started him on the TOTW PS canned food. We have to clean his eyes with water and a cotton pad every night so that the skin around the eyes doesn't get sore and infected. That's happened before.

oh thank you! This helps a lot. I still can't find anything about ethoxyquin.. does anyone know about that? My other yorkie Samie eats Wellness CORE and they do state that they don't use this. But I don't want to start Bella on anything higher than the protein she was used to on the Wellness Puppy. She did ok on the Wellness Puppy but I want her to love her food and also I like grain free better. She was a little itchy and also had watery eyes. She loves this Iam's canned Low Residue but she isn't going to keep eating it.. yuck.. this morning I found a huge hard piece of bone in the food. grossed me out!
I'm going to transition her slowly and hope she does ok. She had a bm today and it was perfect. She loves the Probiotic she is taking for a week. Vet said I may have to force her to eat it.. lol... she licks the packaging it's too cute!

Hi all! I wish I could post a video so you all could see how happy this little Bella was when she had a piece of the kibble and a bite of the canned! I went out and bought both. The canned is something I've never seen before. I'm used to seeing it all blended together. It was nice to actually "see" the ingredients such as pieces of potato and peas. I am still feeding her the prescription Iams Low Residue and slowly introducing the new TOTW. I gave her the pres food first and she was very fussy with it so I was thinking that she just wasn't hungry yet. I have been giving her small tiny meals and it had only been 5 hrs since her last tiny meal. When I put a piece of the TOTW kibble in front of her she LOVED it! I broke it half to see what she would do and she crunched it no problem. I have her 6 pcs and just a small bite of the canned. She wanted to eat more of it but I have to go slow. Tonight will be interesting to see if she will eat the pres food at all. She didn't want to eat this morning and I think she just doesn't like the food (the pres) I want to transition slowly with her but I think she is too smart for me and is only going to want the TOTW.
Thanks to all of you for helping me make this choice. I'll post again and let know how it's going. it was such a wonderful feeling to see her eat a food that she absolutely LOVED! even though it was a few pieces.. she was over the moon with this food!

TOTW used to be made with Ethoxyquin but they quit using it a year or two ago (can't remember exactly when). A few of us here contacted them to confirm they'd stopped using E, and we were all assured that it was no longer being used.
