    Default Fromm vs TOTW

    I am really curious to see what you guys think is a better food. Would you rather feed the 25% / 15% TOTW formulas or feed Fromm's 4 star?

    Fromm's Duck and Sweet Potato is 24/15 and their Salmon formula is 25/16.

    Taking protein and quality into account, and if your dog isnt allergic to grains, which would you choose?

    I haven't read the label of either product but, I would go with Fromm. I say this because it to me is smaller company and more trust worthy. TOTW is a Diamond product and they had a lethal problem some years back and have some really junky formulas- these combined makes me avoid their products. I know this didn't address you "protein and quality" criteria, but there's not that much difference between them in my opinion.

    I'm actually feeding Fromm 4star Duck & Sweet Potato right now! As the poster above me mentioned, I trust the company much more. In TOTW I don't like the "ocean fish meal" because it is a mystery ingredient. I personally like the ingredients in Fromm better. I think the main appeal of TOTW is it's price. If it cost more, then I think less people would feed it.

    I've never tried the TOTW formulas. First, I don't have a high trust factor with Diamond. Second, I don't like that they used "smoked" meats in their formulas. That is a carcinogen red flag to me. If my dog needed to eat grain-free, I would look for another brand over TOTW.

    I forgot about the smoked meats. It was a long time ago, but I fed one bag and just didn't feel comfortable with it.

    Fromm Gold is the best formula from Fromm. TOTW is trash.

    I've been rotating the Fromm Four Star formulas for several months; my dog has done very well on it and he loves all of the flavors. I haven't fed TOTW because I'm not really comfortable with Diamond.

    I ditto all the above. Fromm costs a bit more, but to me it's worth it. Fromm is one of two types of kibbles my cat will eat and I'm happy with that.

    How do those of you who replied feel about Holistic Select and Earthborn? These are two that I would never consider because of the junky stuff they also make (ProPac and Prism.)

    I started the switch from the breeders Kirkland to Fromm 4 Star Surf & Turf today as an ALS. I considered Fromm's Puppy Gold too but wanted to try out the Four Star series first.
