Yes that is weird. You could contact them and ask but I think its just a food to avoid. I had issue with the Timberwolf company a couple years ago. They lied about the ingredients in the food. What was listed on the bag was NOT what was in the food and caused my dog severe allergic reactions. Be car...

You are missing the point. If you feed your outside dogs Purina they are going to need (for example) 5 cups. If you feed them Taste of the Wild like your spoiled little inside dog they will only need 2 cups. In the end it works out to be the SAME price, if not cheaper, than just buying cheaper food....

Yes the cats do have their own little sanctuary. A room downstairs with their food, litter boxes, beds, etc. However they have now turned that into their HOME and rarely come out. And thats not all Tuckers fault, my other dogs play a role in it too. When Riley, my 4yr old springer, was a pup he chas...

Dog vs Cats

I have a beautiful approx. 4-5yr old Brittany/Springer Spaniel mix named Tucker that I adopted last year. He was abused most of his life and in a shelter for almost a year before I got him. So, his socialization is still something to be worked on. I've had him for a 2yrs in July. He's really come ar...

I had a foster dog that had severe resource guarding issues. We used NILIF on him and it helped some, but he was too far gone by the time I got him. We couldnt keep him long enough to really put the program into full force unfortunatly. For a resource guarder its a great idea though. Also keeps thei...

The ingredients you list are different than their website. I wouldnt feed it... but I expect a LOT out of the food I feed my dogs. I pay up to $75 a bag and I expect quality. The first few ingredients are just too much rice and other grains.. (oatmeal, barley). Then there is beet pulp shreds. A few ...

Umm... if you feed them better food they eat LESS. So it works out the same... if you buy purina they need 5 cups, you buy Innova they need 2. Dogs are not livestock. And really, the "outside" dogs, being working dogs, need better more nutritious food than your little "inside: one. Th...

Umm... that is really messed up.
Feed them all taste of the wild. You will save money because the "outside" dogs will eat less anyway.
