Cody and Cailee are eating TOTW Sierra Mountain Lamb and the Pacific Salmon. Both have 25% protein. There is one flavor that does have 32% protein but I can't remember which one it is.

You're right, the Sierra Mountain and the Pacific Stream both have 25% protein. The High Prairie and the Wetlands both have 32% protein. The fat levels are also higher in the High Prairie and the Wetlands (I think it's 18% as opposed to 15% in the Sierra Mountain and Pacific Stream).

Levi eats Sierra Mountain - 25% protein. Not high. :)

And Sierra Mountain is also the lowest in calories for those who don't want a real high calorie food.

YAY! Riley eats TOTW Pacific Stream and Sierra Mountain.... Has been for a few months now and is Loving it... and I Love it, for him.
Those two formulas have 15% Fat and 25% Protein.
I also bought a few cans of the Pacific Stream and I occassionally put a teaspoon into his kibble... just to wet it and for a special treat. He goes nuts!! :)

My lab eats TOTW and I am trying to change Jersey over to TOTW Pacific Stream. He is free fed and now picks out and eats the TOTW that I mix in with other food. I want to do the transition slowly as to not give him loose stool. It is not going to be very slow because now he just lets the other food sit until I put in more TOTW!

The high prarie also has double the amount of calcium than any other food on the market. Including puppy formulas.


Based on that and the protein content I switched mine over to the lamb formula.

I thought the same when Abby came home on Wellness, she refused the wellness and picked out the TOTW- it was actually better, her poop had been kind of a mess on the wellness- I thought it was just her puppy-ness...

The boys eat Sierra Mountain (Lamb).
They love it!

If you don't mind your furkid having cat breath, feed TOTW Pacific Stream. Dori switched from Wellness about a year ago and we never looked back. Enthusiastic eater, small firm poops...what's not to like? She eats 1/4 c. twice daily. BTW, our vet said don't feed a high protein (like Origen).

Sorry, but I had to laugh at this. :D:D Cat breath, huh? Lol. Too funny. :)

Looks like many of you are using the Sierra Mountain. They gave me a sample of that as well. We will try that one next! :)

Ok, help ladies. Mikki does not like the Sierra Mountain or the Pacific Stream. Both of these are the ones that have the 25% protein. She loved the Bison and Venison one. Which has the higher protein. 32% or 37%? I don't remember. So, I am gathering that the higher protein is not good for our pups. Can anyone else recommend a food that their pup likes? I am trying to fnd it locally. I don't want to have to order it. Any help appreciated!

I personally don't think that the 32% protein will be bad unless there is a medical condition that requires a lower protein level in the food. The people where I buy my food tried to steer me away from Taste of the Wild and said that their concern with it is the higher glycemic index rating (sugar content). They suggested Pulsar (made by Horizon, I haven't tried it yet), and Precise. My dogs are currently eating Precise Foundation and seem to be doing fine on it. It is not grain free though. Another grain free food in about the same price range as TOTW is Earthborn Hollistic. I think that also has a little higher protein. I still don't think I'd feel bad about feeding TOTW though. It is the best food Diamond makes. A lot of people feed it to their dogs and most seem to do very well on it. I sort of like the ingredients on the Wetlands formula because it uses chicken fat instead of canola oil. It is also 32% protein. I thought that if I end up getting TOTW, I'd start with the Sierra Mountain. Unfortunate that your baby doesn't care for it. I tried Before Grain buffalo formula and my dogs absolutely loved it. It was sort of high in fat and I was concerned about weight gain since my dogs are free fed though. Boy, they sure went through that stuff! I guess once you find a good food that works out well, it's worth it to stick with it. Good luck on your food quest.

Oh, if you prefer a lower protein food, Natural Balance is another that comes to mind. They also have some grain free formulas that are low protein.
