I have no problems, I switched to the chicken adult 4health because the high performance has higher calories and I am trying to slim down my male. I liked the high protein but not the calories that came with it for him. I thought it was making my female hyper but she just is hyper even with the lower calorie one.

The breeder we got our pups from use this dry and feed raw chicken quarters, eggs, yogurt with it. From what I understand it is made by Diamond.

Zeva was on 4Health Puppy for a lot of months and did very well on it. Murphy can't seem to handle the lamb in it. So, I switched them to the 4Health Adult, which is chicken based. I don't think Murphy can handle it either, but he's not as effected by it as the puppy one. I just think it's too rich for him. He only seems to do well on Puppy Chow or Iams... kills me.

The chicken based also seems to be bothering Zeva's ears too. I can't be sure, because I haven't switched her off of it yet, but in the last week or two, they seem to be getting darker and wanting to become infected, so I've been watching them. She does not really care for chicken... gives her gas, which makes me wonder if it's the food or something else making her ears go wonky.

So, I might have to switch them AGAIN! *sigh* I really love the value of this food, it's so cheap and not all full of fillers. No corn, wheat or soy! I'm bummin'

I have six GSD's and we use to feed all of them TOTW but like most it gets expensive . I wondered about this food but i just tried Diamond Chickin and rice this last month or so. I was going to go to Chicken Soup but my stud male doesnt do good on it loose stools so I left him on TOTW since he is SCH training and need the extra protein. Its nice to see people taking the aspect of the dog food very seriously. So I will try Diamond Chic. for a while and see since it diesnt have as much grain products in it but if I had the money I would feed TOTW again .

Still feeding it. No problems whatsoever, Rocky is doing great on it. I switched him from the high performance to the LB adult because he's 8 and, uh, basically lays around all day.

A friend of mine switched off of Blue Buffalo* to 4 health and has been happy with it. She's feeding it to her shi tzus and a high energy Australian Shepherd.

*Blue recently changed their formulas, less meat more grain

and both she and I have noticed problems with skin/coat and weight on our dogs since the change
