    Default I have the perfect example why quality kibble makes a difference.

    As most of you know I just brought home another boxer from another home. He has been fed a cheap kibble. Beamer on the other hand has been eating TOTW since she was about three months old. The first very noticable difference between the two are their coats. Beamer's is shinny, soft, and smooth. Charley's is course, dull, and rough. Beamer's overall apperance is really healthy. Charley not so much.

    Not sure if the food is a factor, but Beamer is taller than Charley and her muscle tone is much better too. Only a month seperates the two in age. Of course it could be genetics too.

    Also Charley has a sore spot on the tip of each of his ears. Seems like I had read here somewhere that could be caused by allergies from food. Am I correct on this? We are putting neo on them.

    Charley has been taken care of, just wasn't fed a quality kibble and it shows.

    I should contact TOTW and tell them about Charley and let them use him as an example before/after TOTW.

    I definitely think that food makes a difference. I definitely think that once Charley is eating high quality food, you will begin to see a big difference.

    I think food may help but also their fur can all be different. Of all our dogs..non of them have the same. Annie is so soft and smooth, Skyler is coarse and long. Roscoe is smooth but not as soft as Annie. That was one of the things I loved about Annie when we got her. I can't wait to see pictures and see the difference.

    I believe it absolutely does make a difference. Especially when you have white ones. When we got Tyson he had bad tear stains. After just a few weeks of being on TOTW, they were gone.

    Can't wait to hear how well Charley does after a few weeks.. and see plenty of pics!

    Good kibble definitely makes a difference and it will show in their coat, muscle tone and overall condition - poor Charley! Glad he is going to get the care and attention he deserves!

    we definitely need some before and afters!

    As others have agreed with you, I agree as well Kibble makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE in the quality of the dog's coat and over all well being and appearance. ShaKira and Levi get compliments everywhere they go about how beautiful, shiney and healthy they look. I have people to tell me ShaKira and Levi don't look like dogs

    I will be anxious to see pics of Charley in a few weeks

    Yeah, once when I took Beamer to the Vet and the staff stated "You feed her quality kibble don't you?" I said yeah we do. She said, "we can always tell the ones that do."

    I bet It makes us feel good that we can repay them for all the love and loyalty by feeding them a premium kibble and that makes us very proud as well.
