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.

Anyone have any experience with EVO? Currently in transition from TOTW due to recent recalls.

We tried the red one, dogs loved it... Stools were very loose, mucousy, and gave them gas. Didn't get it again. I wouldn't purchase from them due to the proctor and gamble buyout of natura.

Try acana. It's great, dogs love it and ultimately price evens out because servings are smaller.

I used Evo as part of my rotation diet for years. My sibe did fantastic on the turkey/chicken formula but he couldn't tolerate the red meat formula. However my chi girls did great on both the red meat and turkey/chicken formula. I stopped feeding Evo after the P&G buyout as the quality was assuredly going to go down under new ownership.

I would try something else (Acana, Orijen, Fromm, etc) over EVO. I also am concerned about P&G owning the company...prefer an indepenedent company with history of few or no recalls

Acana is not grain free is it? Evo has 42% protein and Acana only has mid to high 20s

Acana is grain free (except for their new L.I.D formuals, called "singles). Acana protein levels vary with the formula but they are in the low 30% range: http://www.championpetfoods.com/acana/products.php

Unless you are racing your dogs in the Iditarod, a protein level in the 20s is usually quite sufficient.

Before the P&G switch, we tried Koda on EVO. He did great for about 2 weeks. Then the amount of protein he was taking in caused the runs. It was just too rich for him and he couldn't handle it.

It's important that you find the right balance for your dog. If you were on TOTW before, you were only feeding between 25-35% protein. 42% if quite possibly too much.

Acana has different varieties! Pacifica, Ranchlands, Grasslands, and Wild Prarie are their grain free foods which I have fed in the past. Protein % is in the 30's
