Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

I got them the 4oz sample of THK along with 2 of the $1 and it made 2 cups exactly and man did they love it! It was gone in seconds and then they swapped bowls to find some more Smile I definitely think I'm going and try and make half their daily diet THK, TOTW for breakfast and THK for dinner but I wish it wasn't so pricey but if I get this job I applied for at the shelter, then they will be 100% THK Smile

pics of course!

I just bought a bag of Blue Wilderness to try out....I paid $29/11 lb bag and that was a discount pet food outlet and with a $2 coupon. If I multiply that by 4, that's $116 for 44 lbs of food. Granted, if you buy the bigger bag, it would be less but if you look at the most expensive formula THK has which is Zeal, it's $98 for the 10 lb box with makes 43 lbs of food. So in reality, they would probably be about the same if I bought the bigger bag of Blue Wilderness. I also did the cost per pound against Orijen and I calculated that Zeal came out cheaper than Orijen!

I'm not sure what you pay for TOTW, but calculate per pound and see what the difference is vs. THK. I'm thinking it isn't going to be that much more.

I'm glad they liked THK!

I've been trying to calculate but i'm still really confused as to how much THK I should give them a day

currently with tax, I spend around $43 on a 30lb bag of TOTW and that lasts us almost a month with between the two dogs, 4 cups of food a day.

That's what I've been doing with Kale for about a week now. TOTW Sierra Mountain formula in the morning and THK mixed with 3/8 cup TOTW at night. He's been doing great! I'm so impressed with the quality of the food that me and my mom are considering transitioning the cats over to Prowl by THK =D!!

With THK as a full meal, I would only give my Koda (53lbs) about 1 1/4-1 1/2 cups a day max (of Zeal). When I first tried THK in 09, I tried giving Koda 2 cups a day (this was when he went to daycare for 8 hours a day 5 days a week, 4 miles total of running with me a day, and hiking 2x a week, so VERY active) and he pooped like 6 times a day HUGE poops and usually not firm at all. When I went to this forum and people started feeding it, they only gave 1 cup - 1 1/2 cups total if feeding it purely (or that would be what they would if not feeding kibble). Right now Koda only gets 3/4 cup Zeal because he gets a little less than 1/2 cup of Ziwipeak in the AM. When I did Orijen, I did 1/2 cup of Orijen in the AM.
All I gotta say is DON'T follow the guidelines, lol! Dogs will shit all over!

Yea I completely agree. The guideline is way too much. I feed Kale 3/4 cup THK with 3/8 cup dry mixed in and it has been perfect.
