EnzaFerrari Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Just an FYI for those who hadn't seen it yet, but there is a new Taste of the Wild Flavor out called "Sierra Mountains - Roasted Lamb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time4ANap Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Just an FYI on this- The owner of the store where I buy TOTW advised that the lamb is a lower calorie food than the other kinds of TOTW. I haven't researched it, but it may matter to some with specific nutition requirements. Quote Camp Broodie. The current home of Mark Kay Mark Jack and Gracie Kiowa Safe Joan.

JohnF Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Another FYI: I had to stop giving my Grey a premium Lamb-based kibble because the Lamb was just too rich for her digestive system to function without almost diarrhea-like poop. She does a lot better on Turkey or Fish types. Her favourite food is real chicken thighs but she has to wait until the supermarket put them on offer.

PrairieProf Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I've known about it for weeks, and might give it a try (though I expect to find Beth does better on the Pacific Stream) but Tractor Supply doesn't stock it yet, which is a bit annoying.

Guest fandogs Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Mine do great on Pacific Stream.. won't change to something that might not suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnzaFerrari Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 Um...wasn't suggesting people switch from things that work for them, more of a "oh by the way, for those who hoping for a lamb TOTW, it is now available". Just a notice, not a suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest earlkattangrey Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Thanks for the heads up about the new flavor and comparing the cal content! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DylanGospel Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Ours doesn't stock it either, but I mentioned the new one to them and they are checking with their buyer. Do you know the protein percentage? I know they vary from one flavor to another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurenbiz Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) I didn't know that TOTW's Sierra Mountain formula was fairly new... Bernie is our first Greyhound, and we've had him since October. After going through a poop saga with foods disagreeing with him for weeks, our vet recommended to get rid of any and all chicken, chicken by products, chicken meal, etc., in his food. Also, our vet recommended that we feed him a food with only one protein. (Not several different protein sources.) After spending an hour reading labels in the dog food aisles at my local pet food store, I tried the Sierra Mountain. And, it's been a big hit with Bernie in the last week or so that we've tried it! He has nice poops. It's a great food, and I'm absolutely sticking with it.

galgrey Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Ours doesn't stock it either, but I mentioned the new one to them and they are checking with their buyer. Do you know the protein percentage? I know they vary from one flavor to another. It(Sierra Mountain) is the same as the Pacific Stream: 25% protein and 15% fat. The High Prarie and Wetlands are 32% protein and 18% fat.

Fruitycake Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 When I saw the bag I had to laugh at the thought of it: picture of wolves on it and the main ingredient is lamb. What is wrong with that picture? When I mentioned it to the person at our store she said that it was TOTW's answer to single protein source food for those with allergies or sensitive tummies. As another mentioned, Pacific Stream is working well here so we won't change, but it is an option for those with other allergies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RileysLegacy Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I am going to try this. We went through a 30 lb bag of Pacific Stream and while it seemed to agree with him better than Kirkland, he never had good poop. Switched back to another Kirkland flavor and it's horrible... so I really hope this will work for him I never had a dog with a sensitive stomach before and it's so frustrating.

RileysLegacy Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 just wanted to post an update... Legs has been on TOTW Sierra Mtn for 2 days and the difference is night and day. I can actually pick up his poop. We will be switching to this! Unfortunately it costs more than 2x as much as the Costco food :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time4ANap Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 We ended up switching to this about 4 or 5 weeks ago from the TOTW High Prairie. Either something changed in the High Priairie, or something in it was no longer agrreing with Rocket and we had pudding poops from 2 different bags. It was a very rich food, but we saw excellent results on it for over a year until this happened. We switched to the Lamb in an all at once changover (no transition). Not only did he firm right up, his coat is much softer than on the High Priarie. He looks much better, and his weight seems to stay more consistent on it. Quote Camp Broodie.

krissn333 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 My mom's pups were on the High Prairie and they had pudding poop. They do much better on the Pacific Stream. I consider it to be a single protein source too - fish. There are a couple of different kinds of fish in it, but I personally haven't heard of dogs having issues with one kind of fish vs. another. We are Pacific Stream users here Lamb doesn't agree with my pups, but, I'm glad that those that do well on lamb food now have a good quality choice. I love TOTW!

I can actually pick up his poop. We will be switching to this! Unfortunately it costs more than 2x as much as the Costco food :( Costco offers a grain free food (fish based) that is about $10-$12 less a bag than TOTW. Friends who have switched their greys to the Costco food have had good results. I personally feed TOTW Pacific Stream. Spud has a sensitive stomach when it comes to kibble so I don't want to rock the boat. Might be worth investigating though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 Costcos near me don't carry the grain-free food I have put in a request at both, and check every time I shop there. Hopefully they will get it soon so we can at least try it. A 30lb bag of Sierra Mtn cost $58 here But, I will suck it up since it seems to agree with Legs.Thanks for the suggestion though, MJ!
