FluffyDuff Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 So we have had Frostie for a little over 3 months and have been feeding him Tractor Supply's 4Heath Grain Free Whitefish & Potato. He has been doing really well on in until now. His poops are fine but he is now refusing to eat it. I though about getting another flavor of their Grain Free variety and mixing it so see if I can get him to start eating it but maybe he is telling me there is something wrong with this bag. It is fairly new. I threw in a handful of some Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream that I receive in sample bags and he will eat it then. I'm afraid to switch his food if I don't have to because I did accidently buy the TS 4Heath non grain free and his poops never got solid. I guess I could always try the infamous Iams green bag that seems to fix everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fostr_Mom Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I use the 4Health Beef & Potato. I have had a few bad bags recently. Watch the codes on the bag. I have found that the bags that have an AL (plant) are the better bags. I can't use the fish because it gives my dogs loose stools. My dogs do very well on the 4Health, stools are great, coats are very soft & shiny, no tummy upsets.

Burpdog Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 check how they are storing it and how the supplier is storing it In the heat, the bags can go bad Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffyDuff Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Well, I sent Tractor Supply an email asking if there were any formula changes because my dog has gone oof the food. I mentioned he was still wanting treats and he would eat the food if I mixed it with another brand. I received an email back from them stating they were unaware of any formula changes, but that I should not hesitate to bring in the unused portion of the bag to exchange or for a refund. So it looks like I'll be going to TS tomorrow to exchange the food. I am just happy that TS is attempting to make it right, when I didn't even ask. Now I just have to figure out what type of food to get him. I'm thinking ill still go with the 4health grain free but maybe a different flavor.

sobesmom Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) I've been using 4 Health grain free for a while now. I used the regular 4 Health before the grain-free became available here. My dog does really well on it. I usually switch flavors every bag. I did 2 bags of Salmon and Potato in a row, and she refused to eat the 2nd bag. I just blew it off as "Diana is quirky". I haven't bought any fish flavors since, though. As soon as I got another kind she started eating and his been fine through a few bags of beef, chicken, whatever. I also use their canned as an add-in when it gets hot outside and she's not keen to eat. I used to switch between a couple brands, but I'm sticking with all 4 Health right now. ETA: It's great that they tried to make it right by you, even if they didn't know of any problem. Edited July 31, 2014 by sobesmom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fostr_Mom Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) Just thought I would throw this out there...I needed to change my foster dog's food and tried a bag of Diamond's new grain free Beef. (Our kennel now uses DN Beef/Rice). She is doing great on it. Might be another alternative for you if you are still having problems. ETA: I am still feeding the 4health to my own dogs, but it is great to know if I have any problems I will have another beef food to fall back on.

FluffyDuff Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Thanks! He's eating the 4Health for right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffyDuff Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 Well we switched from the whitefish and potato to the beef and potato and he is eating it. He is eating it so fast that I've started adding a little water to it. And best of all his poops are great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
