I currently have a 6 month old on TOTW and I don't think she likes it very well! We always have to "ADD" something to get her to eat It (cheese, chicken) I was wondering what are other good brands to try??

Neither of my dogs are big on TOTW either, but both LOVE Earthborn's grain free line. It's about the same price as TOTW, good quality, and as I said both of mine far prefer the taste over TOTW.

Brodie is/was on TOTW and has runny poos - yuk! I now have him on homemade chicken and rice to settle his stomach. Once he's back on track, I'm thinking about trying BB's puppy chicken and rice that BaronsMomma suggested. Another food I'm considering is Natural Balance, since it has a single protein in it. I'm not sure what to do at this point.

How old is he? How long has he been on TOTW? How much of it do you feed per feeding? And how much does he weigh?

Not that Blue Buffalo is a bad food, it isn't, however there are better foods on the market and I personally prefer grain free foods.

Mine do not like TOTW much either. I switched to Earthborn's grain free line and they LOVE it! It's about the same price.

Brodie is 12 weeks old today and only weighs 14.6 pounds. Before I put him on the homeade chicken/rice, I was feeding him 3/4 c. of TOTW Sierra a.m., 3/4 c. late afternoon, and 1/2 cup evening. His poos were not getting any better with time (3 weeks); if anything, they're worse. I was afraid to increase the amount, due to this.

I too, normally prefer a grainless kibble, but this puppy's sensitive tummy is driving me nuts! My vet's answer is to put him on the Royal Canin prescription diet he sells, which I'd rather not do.

Sounds like you may have been feeding him too much. Did you ever try decreasing the amount by 1/4-1/2 cup and seeing if it got better?
