onrushpam Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 We recently used it with a foster "bounce" dog that had seizures, whose vet recommended a grain free diet. We switched him from the Blue salmon to the Costco one and he did great on it. All our dogs wanted to eat it!

greysandmollie Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 My dogs have been on it for a while. They all like it and Dylan who has a sensitive digestive tract does well on it.

ivon Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I switched mine from TOTW to Costco's Nature's Domain salmon, they like it ( they like everything though), and same small, firm poops as with TOTW. No issues, so we'll stick with it. Quote Ivon, Spud, Karma & Sasha Missing Darla (05-22-96 03-01-2010) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jbbuzby Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 No problems with this food, though Ferguson definitely prefers others to it. Stools were fine on it, excellent price that can't be beat for what it is. I mix this now with Dogswell Vitality dry so we get the best of both worlds. Yet, if my costco started to carry the turkey formula, I'd probably switch over to that for his personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest akgs13 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I know a large number of Greyhounds who are on this food and all of them not only love it, but none of them have had any problems with it. Mine included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galgrey Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I recently transitioned mine from TOTW Pacific Stream to the Costco version (Nature's Domain) without any difficulty at all. All of mine do better on non-poultry foods. They greyhounds now get really itchy on chicken/turkey based foods and the galgo has less stomach upset since I switched him.

galgrey Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 has anyone tried this. my male has lost his interest in his food since my female went on hills kidney diet. he wants her food. any one know what the base meat is for hills kidney diet i can't seem to find it on the bag? It doesn't really have much meat in it - just some pork fat and some chicken liver flavor (whatever that means). A friend took in her mother's elderly non-greyhound who is in early stage kidney disease at 14 years old. The dog wasn't doing well so she took her to a vet who's also canine nutritionist, and the vet felt that there wasn't enough protein in this food for this particular dog. She's doing well on another food that's chicken based and higher protein. Her lab values haven't changed, which is good. I can't remember what food the vet recommended, but it's working well so far.

Guest Gert Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I use Nature's Domain salmon formula, too. All 3 of mine seem to do well on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest happygrey Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 We feed this to two of ours, while one of our 3 (Mr. Uber Sensitive Tummy) still gets TOTW Pacific. Our two who eat the Costco like it and do fine on it, but at the "back end" I find that nothing beats TOTW. Costco is ok in that regard but not the gold standard that is TOTW Pacific.

Guest sirsmom Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 If your male really likes the k/d flavor, there are other science diet regular foods that probably taste about the same. It's probably the pork fat he is attracted to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnzaFerrari Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Enza actually does better on the Costco version than when she was on TOTW. I also understood that it was made by the same company but could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest johnwe Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Best poops I have seen on this food. (blue bag from costco) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8kids Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 the k/d food has NO meat in it, all fillers, from the rice to the corn and a little fat for flavoring. There are better foods out there for the special diets vs what the vets may recommend. You have to remember the vets recommend it b/c they sell it in their office and many vets don't have a lot of education in nutrition for the animals. The vet I go to that knows nutrition will not sell that in her office. I have my girls on grain free diets and there are a lot of good kibbles out there. I will have to take a look at the costco salmon, my dogs love fish, they are in my face when I'm eating it! Tonight I'm making myself lobster tail and don't plan on sharing! I'll give them some tuna maybe...I know it doesn't compare but they will get over it.

GeorgeofNE Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Just my 2 cents--you're going to have people telling you that the Hill's food is not good nutritionally. If your girl is doing well on it, I'd stick with it. My last dog had a kidney issue, and he did VERY well on the Hill's. He wouldn't eat the canned though, so my vet sold me some Purina N/F, which he liked just fine! Quote Susan, Hamish, Mister Bigglesworth and Nikita Stanislav.
