re: Dog vomiting every 2-3 months

When you say introduce new food, do it gradually over the course a few days.
TOTW is the only dog food out of the three that you listed that I would feed my dog.
You may want to look at a LID type of dog food. Limited ingredients.
Whatever you choose, add pumpkin to your dog's diet. It will help coat and soothe his stomach. And buy some Pro-Pectalin tablets in the event your dog has diarrhea or vomiting. Lastly, if your dog vomits, skip a meal and gradually reintroduce food back. Never all at once.
Also, too much protein may be upsetting his stomach. Try to find a brand around 25%. I personally feed my dog Sport Dog and have tremendous results. If the throwing up continues, have your vet do a liver enzymes test.

I have a Great Dane that had similar issues and we changed food and changed his feeding times. Haven’t had a issue since.

My mastiff did this when he was a puppy. Used to eat underwear and socks. Saw something hanging out his butt one day, was some of my thongs. Had to help him get it out and use gloves to pull it out
Both my dogs have had terrible allergies. We switched their food to fish wholesome brand from tractor supply. They barely itch any more, has helped a lot.

if its happening often he might have swallowed something to clog him up, you should take him for exrays to be sure.
not sure how old he is but when ours started doing that the vet said he was just old (14 yrs) and his intestines would get twisted inside and then they get blocked up so he couldnt get food to go down, so it comes up. he also wouldnt poop when he was having the vomiting thing.
he said nothing we could do but put him down if it got too bad and didnt clear up. we got lucky and he was ok for another year with just 2 or 3 spells.

Around the same time he will lose hair around the butt and his ears get a little irritated. Sounds like classic food allergies to me
Sounds like that to me too. My dog had an identical issue when I was younger. Mine, it was a wheat allergy. No clue what food we used.
I know Costco makes a grain free food that's really good. My last vet recommended it. Even before I told her I was a member and was already feeding it to her.
It's pretty reasonably priced too.

Yeah the Taste of the Wild is grain free as well. He did much better on it than others. I just figured if it was food allergies he wouldn’t do so well for 2 months before displaying symptoms again.

He needs to start feeding this dog raw food if it’s indeed food allergies. Look up B.A.R.F. Feeding. But rule out any treats he’s getting first.

Id imagine if I licked my own butt and sack I’d vomit every once in a while too

Also this. But get canned pumpkin. Not the pie filling. There is a difference and only give a couple teaspoons a day.
Also, if its a food allergy of some kind and you switch food. It needs to be gradually. Not all at once. You need to find the common ingredients with the foods you keep buying and start narrowing down what the dog might be allergic too. Another thing Id do is a little research on the type of dog you have. Some breeds are more prone to be allergic to certain things and/or ingredients. A high percentage of English Bulldogs are allergic to chicken. Mine is and I keep him on a chicken free diet and he is just fine. A lot of breeds do not do well with potatoes and grains. But those are very common in lower tier foods. Of the ones ones you listed, TOTW would be the only one I would try and that is only if it was the only bag left on the shelf. They have had some recalls over the last couple of years. You might want to try a food with a higher star rating. Yes they cost more, but the better product might be what your pup needs.
Just my $.02. Good luck

Sometimes they throw up just for the hell of it, though. And if you are lucky, it'll be inside your shoe.

I cant do a god damn thing to get my dog to stop eating acorns.
I used to put 1 drop of hot sauce on every acorn that fell in the yard.
Turned out she likes spicy.

This is probably obvious, but I didn't notice anyone else mention it. If you're changing food and it's not going away, check the ingredients in all the food to see which ingredients are similar. This should at least narrow down the list of possible allergens, and then you can either go get a test for allergies to those specific things, or keep trying new food that eliminates some of those common ingredients until it stops.
Few years ago I was having a similar issue with my dog but it was with those treats that are supposed to be good for their teeth and gums. Kept switching up the treats but it didn't stopped. Ended up checking and noticing that all of them had chlorophyll. Found him some without chlorophyll, problem solved.

Maybe. But you'd probably never leave the house if you could.

He’s a 3 yr old Lab.
I’ll have to start checking all the food I’ve tried and see.
And I always gradually introduce the food slowly. I also have a mutt (boxer/maybe Doberman mix?) and always am switching his food too even though he doesn’t have problems. He probably could care less though.
What kind of food do you recommend if TOTW is bottom of the barrel for you? I don’t mind paying extra (already at $50/bag) if this goes away.

Vomiting every few weeks: Retained corn cob, finally thrown up after a year. It was pretty gross.
I had a 110 lb. chocolate lab that was my best friend. He wasn't fat, he was a LEAN 110 lbs.
Just a monster.
He died from jumping over my mom's 5 foot fence, knocking over my neighbors industrial garbage can, and swallowing a full size corn on the cob whole that perforated his stomach. He walked home and and was just acting like he had a stomach bug or something then he collapsed.
Incredibly sad, but I don't think he would've wanted to go out any other way. The LSU vet school people were in shock that he got it down.

Which protein are you feeding in the food? Have you tried switching from chicken to something without chicken, like a fish based food.
Try grain free fromm in a protein you haven't used before.

We went through the whole food allergy thing with ours and then a vet suggested that it could be acid reflux.
We’ve been giving OTC acid-reducer with food and he’s been 99% vomit-free since.
