Does the food stain the mouth or paws? My dog's beard and paws are white.

We have a very white bichon frise. He has been eating Dr. Harvey's since mid August and we have had no staining.

I have a 8 year old boxer that loves Dr. Harvey's. I have never seen a stain, it's all natural. It's a great product.

It never did for my white husky. He was eating this food for about 6 months (and loved it!) without any problems.

I gave it to my dog for about 2 months and she seemed to be a little better but now I am not giving it her she has reverted back to eating poop. It seems to be a habit that is hard to break the vet told me to put meat tenderizer in her meals but I don't think that worked either. Someone told me not to pick up and put hot chili sauce on it and when they go to eat it it taste bad and that sometimes helps. We pick up all the time but if there is one lot out there she finds it, we tell her off but she still does it. I am told it is a natural thing but I have never had a dog that did it before, so very frustrating. Sorry I haven't been much help but that's my experience.

Mine is white. I ended up cutting a hole in it and taking a bunch of stuffing out.

Not really. The food is availble at all times and flows freely as your pet eats. My cats use their paws to rake the food out if the flow isn't consistent. I hope this helps.

We've been feeding our dogs TOTW wetlands formula. Recently, our 2 year old chihuahua has developed dark patches of skin on her belly that are itchy and flaky. She also scratches a lot. However, she was on TOTW probably a month or 2 before this started. The dogs really like the food, and it seems to keep them healthy and their coats are very shiny and soft. I am waiting to see if it is just Fall allergies (we live in a very bad area for pollen and other irritants) before trying another food.

That was my concern also--YES--no stain or residue--just wipe paws dry. Apply lightly

Yes, perfectly normal. Brown because of the flavoring. As for the thickness? If it were runny or liquefied? It wouldn't remain on tongue brush long enough for dog to lick.

Unfortunately, no. My dog has the same problem. It is pretty easy to clean though.

I do not see it listed on the ingredients but if it is a real issue for your pet I would request a lit of ingredients from the manufacturer.

Not sure if you've seen the vet yet, but our dog used to focus on her paws as well. We found out it was a food allergy. Typically they are allergic to beef or chicken. Pretty much the only way to find out what it is is to test by removing a specific food, e.g., only feed all salmon and see if they stop chewing. Ours now only eats fish or venison made dog foods.

Mary, I am not sure but my dog has no issue with the taste of either, and I just put it on his dry food and spray with just a bit of water...since switching to the "regular" angel eyes, quickly the staining once again disappeared and he is on maintenance, get it about once to twice a week.

I have that when I use salt, etc. especially when I cook beans, that my pans leave a white sorta stain in the bottom too. This does come out though with a little extra washing. I usually don't worry about it because it will usually go away the next time I use it. Does not affect the taste of food.

No , not at all , my dogs skin and fur are amazing I'd check a food allergy. Stop using it , then check. My dogs coats are flat out gorgeous. Also any topical tick and flea med can affect skin. Flea collars - other animals.......

sooo sorry i cannot answer your question. have not used product yet. the problem i had with my dog was his chewing on his paws. for some reason he just stopped. it could be because i bought another dog. i think he is too busy with new puppy, that chewing on his paws is no longer a priority!

I have very little food spillage. I fill to about 3/4 full. I have never seen my cats dig into the food with their paws but yours might be doing that.

Staining what? I just mix it in a metal dog bowl with hot water before adding meat. Plastic can stain easily from a lot of things. Vegetable juice being one of them

Frankly, I think that any of the flavors might leave a visible stain on the carpet, depending in part on your dogs' chewing habit. One of my dogs tends to chew pretty neatly, picking up the smaller pieces pretty quickly. The other is a slob, chewing and drooling out saliva that matches the color of the treat - and that would stain anything. What I did is taught her to enjoy her treats to her hearts content - as long as she has a hand-towel under her to catch the bits and slobber. When she's done, I just throw the towel in with the wash, no worries. Works well for all kinds of treats too (cow hooves, kongs stuff with PB, etc.).
