Blue wilderness or totw?

We are picking up a new food for dia (being as we can afford a little more) so which one should we get. Both are 5 star. Both have great ingredients.

Have never tried Blue wilderness, but have my boys on TOTW. They love it. It is the only food that has kept Mercury's stools solid. I'm sold.

totw is not for puppies due to high calcium, its been posted a ton on here just search. Not sure about Blue for puppies.

I personally wouldnt use anything made by Blue. They put it out and recall it later.

I'm actually a fan of Blue Wilderness, I've never had problems when using it in the past.

TOTW is a Diamond product and Diamond is always pulling foods and having problems.

TOTW is made by Diamond. Not a company I trust.

Neither food is safe for puppies.

I have been really happy since switching Stella over to simply nourish at petsmart. It made in the US too.

Well if anyone is curious I went with blue wilderness. Talked it over with the breeder I bought dia from and she said its much better and the adult does jot have too much calcium. She prefers an adult diet for puppies. But yeah, opened the bag and had my pup and dads dogs nose in the bin trying to sneak some, loves it.

ask your breeder what the max calcium of that food is and the effects of high calcium in large breed puppies? I believe its been posted here and its to high for your pup, be careful. Like 2.0 which is in the really be careful department

I would not feed BB Wilderness or TOTW to a puppy, as many others have already said, but it's your decision. Just make sure you don't regret it later.
