OK - I can cut out 1/4 - 1/3 cup a day. But no one has mentioned the issue of higher protein in TOTW. I thought I had read something about kidney issues over a long period of time. Is this truly not an issue I need to worry about? I would love to keep her on TOTW - she loves it and has nice poos.

Healthy thoughts and prayers for Joe.

I am so very sorry. GodSpeed Chessie.

Although sweet Maggie would poop in my shoe if she heard me calling her a "senior" - she's 7 and it's a reality. She gets 3 cups of TOTW Prairie daily. I've noticed that the 2#s that she allows herself to gain as "winter weight" has crept onto her bones a bit early. Of course, the ridiculously hot weather has curbed her crazy yard racing quite a bit. And occassionally a day would be so hot, we'd skip a long walk. So exercise has not been normal. But the high protein content of TOTW is another consideration. So - I'm thinking I want to change her kibble. I don't want her to gain another pound that could adversely affect her health down the road. But here's the catch - it has to make a really yummy gravy. Maggie insists on very warm water (about 2 cups) mixed with her kibble and it needs to be so tasty it makes her purr (like TOTW does). Any ideas? Oh - and of course it needs to be a good quality food.

I am so very sorry. GodSpeed Sunscreen Man.
