    Hi all, I have an update if it is at all helpful… I think I get the dog food before it hits most stores. (I get it from a pet food distributor my brother works for). Since the bad batch of TOTW High prairie formula in July, I have tried 3 other grain free dry dog kibbles. Since then, my dog has developed an allergy to chicken leading me back to TOTW, now Pacific Stream (Salmon, no Chicken in it). The kibble looks normal, (no crumbs in the bag to be found), no explosive diarrhea and my GSD is happy. I have been mixing 100% pumpkin in with her food to make all transitions easier on her stomach and no issues (about 1-2 tbsp per feeding). I wonder if they had a contamination in the plant and did a clean up? But hang in there. I think it will be back to normal soon.

    I went to NurtiSource grain free chicken. One dog seemed to be allergic to something in it (2 paws turned pink, frequent/ obsessive licking, scratching) but the other dog did fine.
    So I just recently switched them again, now to Diamond grain free White fish and sweet potato. I know TOTW and Diamond are from the same makers and wondered if they were made in the same plant (contamination issues) but they seem to be fine and it’s cheaper than TOTW. Good luck!

    Hi there,
    My little brother works for a pet food distribution warehouse, so I usually buy 4 bags at a time. I got the batch long before it hit the shelves at all the local stores.
    I wrote a letter to TOTW/ Diamond and sent the codes from the back.
    They reimbursed me for all 4 bags and said they would test it. That was in July. No recalls as of yet. Sad, they probably knew the results then, but were waiting for more complaints….

    I recently sent a complaint to the makers of Taste of the Wild (Re: High Prairie formula).
    I bought 4 bags a few weeks ago. The dogs had explosive diarrhea day one of opening using a new bag. The kibble looked different as well, almost like it was covered in small crumbs… I sent the codes from the back of the bags (they were all the same) for them to test, per their request.
    I’ve been feeding my dogs this brand for quite some time and never had a problem until now. There is definitely something wrong with that batch. We’ll see what comes of it. Maybe another recall?
