Totw or blue life protection

I'm getting a puppy soon when he is old enough(ive named him drago lol). I've read up on the forums on coding a food and have narrowed down between totw and blue buffalo life protection. They both come in 30 lb bags and cost almost the same (45 bucks) at my local tractor supply store. After reading reviews I see that totw is rated at 5 of 5 stars while blue is rated 4 of 5. I was thinking of going with totw but have read that totw has been giving many dogs loose stools and diareaha while I haven't read much our any problems with blue. I would like any advice on these two and am open to other ideas. Am trying to sti ck to a 45 dollar limit please and thank you!

You could feed them both. It's a good idea to alternate between 3-4 different foods to give a well rounded diet and to make sure that they aren't deficient in anything. Different meat sources and different suppliers.

Good luck with your pup!

I feed Cornelius TOTW Pacific Stream (Salmon) and Wetlands (Duck) and he does great on both of them. He has a senstive tummy so I've tried alot of different foods to see which ones agree with him. But all dogs are different so you just have to see which one works for Drago. Good luck!
