Taste of the wild


Recommended Posts

love it! but can't afford it. Almost $2 a lb!

Hi I use taste of the wild puppy food , my dog Bella loves it , but one thing that's kinda strange is her stools are a bit softer than they used to be, and she goes more frequently which through me for a loop ? I was told she would go less on the better food .. who knows? :rolleyes:

bellabedazzled, reduce her food by about a third and see whether that helps. Soft and more frequent BMs after a food change usually means overfeeding. Never mind what the feeding guidelines say or what you fed before - that is different for every food.

 

I used to convert the kcal/kg figure to what I was feeding a dog before changing, then figure the same for the new food, before using the cup measures. There's such a big difference in how the food is measured by volume versus weight. It's easy to overfeed a more dense food.

 

TOTW gets Ben's Quality Seal of Approval. He can eat it in a pinch. He's highly sensitive to little contaminations or stray ingredients that might get in there. He went to the hospital just Friday after picking up - who knows from who knows where?
