I don't have experience with TOTW, so someone else will have to tell you about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husky princess Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 TOTW looks great but its out of my price range. raw is defo possible but you need to know what your doing to ensure your dog remains healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arooroomom Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Nothing wrong with raw meat, but you will need to look deeper into it if you want to do a full raw menu. There is a science to it. I feed Taste of the Wild to Cheyenne as she isn't big on raw, she enjoys it and does well on it. Veggies ect. are unneeded and if you look at their stool you'll see it looks the same way as it does on the way in. It's not broken down or used. There's nothing wrong with it, but it isn't helping either. There is some debate about the incorporation of veggie and plant matter being added to a raw diet... but i've seen the stools and i'm not going to waste money on something that isn't needed. I know some people use the baby carrots as treats for overweight dogs and i've given them to my guys when i've had extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 welcome to the pack good luck in your search for a sibe mine get fed wainwrights kibble and raw meat - they wont touch veg tho but i know some sibes LOVE it they dont get it fed in the same meal tho as they digest at different rates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahNukka&Shadow Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Iv heard taste of the wild is one of the best kibbles to use for huskies but have never used it myself. I feed a mixture of raw meat and a frozen complete raw diet called natures menu which does my two fine and gives them plenty of variety!

lyra Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 We feed Lyra Taste of the Wild (High Prairie formula). It is an all-life stages food, so it is fine for puppies as well as adults. I like the fact that it is grain free. She's been on it since she was about 4 months old and is doing great. Before TOTW she was on Artemis for Medium/Large breed puppies, but her poops were really soft on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyCouture Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 we feed Embry (14 months) and Zoey (5 months) both Taste of the Wild, they do great on it. We rotate the duck and bison flavor biweekly so they don't get bored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machocopter Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Great Replays , thanks! Your all really helpful! I was thinking of feeding ( hopefully my future Husky) Taste of the Wild - Pacific Stream Canine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyCouture Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 personally mine both don't like the pacific stream, and I also heard a quite few other people say theres didn't like it also. Probably the salmon flavor. I'd recommend the High Prairie and the Wetlands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machocopter Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 aha , ok I will try that out if possible. Thanks for your advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

instant-classic Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Mine like all 3 flavours but when I got my second he was on a fish flavoured food from the breeded so I switched him to the pacific stream thinking it would be an easier switch if that makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazz Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 The breeder we got Zoya from, recommends TOTW Wetlands formula for puppies. This formula is less prone to producing gas than the High Prairie formula. We rotate Zoya between High Prairie, Wetlands, and Pacific Stream. For a puppy, I'd probably not go with the Pacific Stream, only because the protein and fat levels are less than what you will find in the other two formulas and what you might find in other high quality puppy foods.

Zoya&EisasMom Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Zoya gets TOTW and loves it! She does very well on it. We rotate the 3 flavors and she likes each one. Personally, I love the aroma of the High Prairie formula. With roast bison and roast venison, it smells good enough for me to eat! I do give her carrots as a healthy treat, which she also loves, but they more or less go right through. The dog doesn't gain any nutritional value from them. TOTW is a little pricey, but the end result it worth every penny. Zoya has healthy skin and a very thick, shiny coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
