Danois Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Hi - make sure you call Purina and give them the feedback. It is all logged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinabean Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Hi, Nadsi suggested the Pookinuk website as they list ingredients for each product. This kibble may be worth a try, if Koda is ok with fish: My link It does contain oatmeal and rice so if Koda can't tolerate those grains it's no good. Generally, it seems that wheat and corn are more problematic grains for some dogs though. This is the only kibble I've found so far that my dog can tolerate. It's not cheap, but I only feed a small amount of kibble, about 1/2 cup a day (his diet is mostly meat/ VAN and bones). Good luck, it can take a long time to figure out what works for your dog. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best4koda Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 I have sent an email to them but have not had a reply and I suspect I won't as its been about a week now. Really not a fan of Purina due to last contact with them but their product was working fir our koda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

best4koda Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 I have ordered a small bag of TOTW salmon product to trial from the natural pet store site. Does anyone know if there is a site in WA that stocks it and might be cheaper delivery for future reference as for a small bag it cost $15 for deivery. Thanks.

Sheridan Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I see Pet Stock has Earthborn Holistic. Anyone use that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I use Eartborn Holistic Coastal Catch as a 2nd choice to TOTW. My guys do well on it too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best4koda Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Pookinook didn't have big enough bags I think when I checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best4koda Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 I think earthborn was higher in fat then tots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest donatella Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Pookinook didn't have big enough bags I think when I checked. I saw that too but it also had on the TOTW page "buy a large bag of TOTW and get a small bag valued at $24.95 for free" so I'm not sure what that's about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best4koda Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Still no progress. We started to try TOTW but Koda has gone backwards at the moment. Started on ZD Ultra and it's too soon to tell yet. She went good on the other food until antibiotics finished that she was taking for cyst infection......feel so frustrated trying to sort this out.

JulesP Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Feel your pain, I am having similar problems with a cat. This is a bit out of left field but try super coat lite if this food doesn't work. Someone on another forum has found this has worked for her IBD cat.. I am also finding a fairly crappy food is working for my cat. If I try and give him the good food I get liquid poo. We tend to go better food with tummy problems but maybe not so good stuff might go down better? I have a tummy problem and did have a doctor tell me to eat maccers etc because it would be easier for my tummy to digest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we had found supercoat sensative worked for her for the most part but they have gone and changed the recipe and put corn and alot of other stuff in it. We've found the simplier food seems to be better. Will look at the lite but I think it will have lamb/beef in it which is a prob. It's so frustrating, Not good for her, we are constantly worried we have to go to the vet again and trying to work this riddle out is stressful. Has anyone found adding oats to help dogs like this???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 People with gluten problems are told to avoid oats so might cause problems. Have you tried natures gift kibble in chicken? That doesn't have much stuff in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megan_ Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 TOTW gives mine the most horrific gas / the smell when I came home from work almost made me throw up! Earthborn holistic is much more expensive, but they thrive on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthborn holistic is much more expensive, but they thrive on it. I bought TOTW as I think it had lower fat then earthborn but I could be mistaken as I have looked at so many products its hard to remember them all now. I just noticed that Natural Balance has a gluten free product too http://www.naturalbalance.net.au/our-products/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke to them about it years ago. It has a little bit of wheat in it to bind the kibble.. Unless you know the dog has a problem with wheat I would give it a go. The kibble I am feeding the cat has heaps of stuff in it that I thought would be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
