be sure to look at the protein content of each of the varieties. Two have somewhat low protein (around 24%)....I believe its the sierra mountain (lamb) and the one with fish as the main protein source. The other two formulas have higher protein. Franklin has been on the food for about a year now and is doing great. I did decrease his food a bit when he reached around 2 years old because his metabolism seemed to slow down some.

Glad I read this! We were thinking of switching Roger to TOTW and it makes me feel better to know you all have had good results.

Honestly...I have never checked the calories...mine each get a (about 1/2 cup or a little less)3 times per day at it works for us:) So whatever the protien I do feed the same amount.

<p>Thanks, Ellen. Good to know about the food...all the replies are putting my mind at ease for switching her to TOTW.</p>
<p>And thanks for the info on the Dasuquin. Her one back leg will go lame once and a while. I've had our vet check her out and she's okay, but it's always a concern. I will try the other for sure now. </p>

<p>Thanks for the reply, Jane. My boyfriend and I always joke that she acts like we don't feed her....so I'm glad its not just me...and her. lol.</p>
<p>It's great to know that other corgi owners love TOTW and that you can switch the flavors up. I was worried about her gaining weight on this food but it doesn't seem like that's an issue. Can I ask if you feed them less because of the high protein content? </p>

I also tried Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul also and I felt like they always were hungry ...didn't maybe make them full (ok they're never full) but seemed that they always wanted more and not just because they liked it.

<p>My three are on TOTW, too, and love it. I tried switching to Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul as it was also highly rated and a bit less expensive, but one of the corgs developed horrible gas when on it, so switched back to TOTW and poof (so to speak) no more gas.</p>
<p>I give them Dasuquin (gluc + cond) as a supplement on the recommendation of the ortho vet that fixed one of my corgs rear legs (had a TPLO for a cruciate repair).</p>

I love TOTW and mine do great on this ...I also like that I can switch to different flavors! Sorry, no help with the Glucosamine.
