    Taste of the Wild

    I know there's a bunch here that feed Taste og the Wild. I was just wondering if anyone has noticed any differences with the food recently? The last bag I bought smelled different and seemed to be really oily-greasy. It also seemed to make Duke a tad constipated. The same thing with my bosses...

    Tracking???

    I was just wondering if anyone does tracking with their dog? I need to find a new sport to do with Duke. I was doing agility with him until today when I found out he has terrible hips.
