OT, is that Cherokee in your avatar, with the snow moustache?

 
Yes, that's my Cherokee 3 1/2 years ago, when we still lived somewhere where snow was possible (lived in Maryland til 2 years ago when we moved to Southern California). I feel super guilty for taking her away from snow, because she LOVES it so so much, plus her allergies have increased 10 fold since living here.
 
Hopefully we'll make it out to the mountains at some point this winter for her to have some fun in the snow...

Excellent. When I was a kid living in California, we would sometimes go to Mount Shasta and toboggan in the snow. That's when I learned that toboggan was a fancy word for a plastic sheet with no steering.
 

Thanks Chewbecca []  I appreciate your suggestion. I am so on the fence about Timberwolf. It looks to be an excellent food with great novel proteins...I just am still skeptical...[&o]

LOL! Yeah.. It's fun as long as you don't get killed! []

Why're you so unsure about Timberwolf? I missed something somewhere.. I'm trying to decide whether to try their Ocean Blue formula or Solid Gold's Barking at the Moon for Cherokee, so I'd like to know if there's a reason to steer clear of TO.

I too am one that is skeptical about TWO. Some people have had customer service issues in the past, and I know there was some question as to where they manufacture the food.

Heres the thread where I address this issue...

Oh, thanks! What's funny is I actually read most of that thread. Apparently my memory's not so good. []
 
Know of any problems with Solid Gold, or more specifically, Barking at the Moon?

Chelsea,

Your welcome! [] 

All I know is that Barking at the Moon just recently changed its formula (was Turkey Meal---> now Salmon Meal):

Salmon Meal | Beef | Potatoes | Potato Protein | Canola Oil | Tomato Pomace | Natural Flavor | Salmon Oil | Choline Chloride | Taurine | Dried Chicory Root | Parsley Flakes | Pumpkin Meal | Almond Oil | Sesame Oil | Yucca Schidigera Extract | Thyme | Blueberries | Cranberries | Carrots | Broccoli | Vitamin E Supplement | Iron Proteinate | Zinc Proteinate | Copper Proteinate | Ferrous Sulfate | Zinc Sulfate | Copper Sulfate | Potassium Iodide | Thiamine Mononitrate | Manganese Proteinate | Manganous Oxide | Ascorbic Acid | Vitamin A Supplement | Biotin | Calcium Panthothenate | Manganese Sulfate | Sodium Selenite | Pyridoxine Hydrochloride | Vitamin B12 Supplement | Riboflavin | Vitamin D Supplement | Folic Acid

From what I know Solid Gold is a great food. I, personally, have never fed any of their foods though. My pup would not touch the Hund-N-Flocken...so we moved on...[&:]
 
Also, the high ASH content in these high protein foods is now under scrutiny...so now I don't know if I want to feed them...?

(Oh and on the thread I posted...most of the Timberwolf/Diamond discussion goes onto page 2...)

Yes, I knew they changed their formula, and that's the only reason I'm considering it, as I highly suspect Cherokee has an allergy to, or at least intolerance of, turkey.
 
I'm not really worried about the ash, as I'm not planning on that being all she eats. Right now I make her food myself, but I'd like to get her partially on commercial food, for times when I just can't make her food, or run out of meat and can't make it to the store, or like in a couple weeks when I'm going away for a few days and someone else will be feeding her.
 
Thanks for posting the ingredients.
