According to the manufacturer, TOTW is ethoxygquin free. They use mixed
tocopherols to preserve their products.

Bottom line is that all prepared dog foods have to use some sort of preservative - just like with prepared human food. So unless you are feeding a raw diet, you are going to be feeding your dog some sort of preservative.

TOTW looks to be a wonderful food - as long as your dog does well on it and you can afford it, it is definitely one of the top of the line.

After seeing so many starved dogs in my years of rescue, I'm a firm believer in suggesting that people find the best quality food they can afford. When pricing food, you also need to look at the k-cals, many times you feed less of the more expensive foods thus making it comparable in price. Factor in the health benefits of quality dog and the price goes down considerably.

For dogs with allergies, we always recommend a grain free diet. I would say that a majority of the time the allergies are caused by the grains and not the meats. Corn is the biggest culprit (IMHO)

Our next newsletter is going to have an article on dog/cat nutrition. I promise I'll post a link when it is done.

Just my 2 cents
