Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We have had our now 6 year old heeler on TOTW his entire life. A few times we’ve gotten a bag where clearly something was wrong with the food in the bag and he’d get sick after eating it. I’d always consider changing brands, but after lots of research and Dog Food Advisor, returned to TOTW, just ditching the bad batch and buying a different flavor for the time being, and my dog would be alright after he evened out. Honestly reading dog food reviews it seems like this is a necessary evil with most kibble brands. This last bag, though, was the last straw; he became really sick. I immediately replaced the bag with Merrick raw infused and he slowly felt better. Having apparently a terrible short term memory, I poured the entire bag of merrick into the dog food container, on top of the TOTW food at the bottom. All was well until we reached the level of the container where now I was scooping from TOTW food again; sure enough, I was up for six hours last night with my dog running outside to be sick, whining to come in to sleep, running outside to be sick again. I’m over it. We’re done with TOTW forever. Also, I’m pretty done buying dog food on amazon. It seems okay, and I like saving a few bucks and having it dropped on my porch rather than lugging it home; but it’s so hard to know where these resellers are sourcing their food, how long it’s been in warehouses and whatever conditions they might be sitting in. At least with a pet food store I can be confident that the merchandise is moving at a relatively steady pace and they’re accountable for any bad batches.
