Ok,so i have a question. I currently was feeding my dogs BB chicken and rice formula.Tank has bad gas so i talked w vet they said give him beano w his food. did that for a while ,then i was told if i put a tablespoon of whole fat natural yogurt in his food it would help him w digestion and help alleviate gas. Then this last time i went to pet supply store there was a BB rep there, talked w her for a while and she said possibly try the wilderness formula ,no grains ,yada yada yada, said it help cut down and gas and such. Well....i bought it and they did eat it and it DIn cut back on gas,no more yogurt and no more Beano....bu then i was online and was looking at food rating and saw that TOTW has a six star rating,read its quite similar to BB but is slightly cheaper (to me significantly, a 5 Lb wilderness was $17 and a 5lb TOTW was $12). whats your opinion on this?Was thinking of switching over to TOTW because comes in bigger bag(35lb $49) and BB wilderness is almost $60for 24 lbs. any input would be great.ty

[MENTION=5642]SuggieMama[/MENTION] honestly id pay for the wilderness. taste of the wild is manufactured by diamond and if you look at their track record for recalls its not good. they just recently had another one for their south carolina plant for salmonella. to many for my taste but there are some here who still feed it. i would also consider that a bullies digestion is usually delicate and to many food switches can upset tummies. not saying you cant just if your bully is doing good on this maybe keep him on it for a bit then see bout something else. these dogs can be hard to feed and find the right food for so when we find something that works we try to stay with it. if cost is an issue lots here do well with the earthborn holistic grain free. just a thought.

yeah,im EXTREMELY anal and obssesive w all my animals and have always fed BB, but now with Tank we go through alot of food. and Wilderness is very expensive, normally i wouldnt care to pay it. but i currently am on med leave and collecting diability so it was due to financial resaons i considered the changeat . i wish Wilderness came in a larger bag for a better price. :/. i feed tank 2xs daily a cup and a half each feeding as suggested according to weight.so we go though alot of food.And i only want the best for my babies .but its hard at the moment. i know the change has to be done gradual either way. i believe in healthy preventative vs,short cuts and vet bills. i am same w my gliders and they are ALSO not cheap to maintain. But i love my babies :)

seriously its not. wow here in va it is. i think alot here feed beef or lamb or fish. :hmm: on petflow its a bigger bag of earthborn is listed as almost 10 dollars cheaper than blue wilderness for the large one. and the medium size one is more food for some less to.

if i read your profile right [MENTION=5642]SuggieMama[/MENTION] he is one year old. adult food or all stage food is fine. i believe its said that you can use all stages food at 4 months old but some wait until 6months of age. one year old should be on adult or all stages food.
