Taste of the Wild Ancient Mountain with Ancient Grains Dry Dog Food

I was a TOTW Sierra Mountain devotee for years (one of my dogs has a chicken allergy). THEN, the dreaded DCM and grain-free diet connection news came out from the FDA. And TOTW was the food with the 2nd highest number of linked cases. I knew more research was being done, but I decided to play it safe, and switch my dogs to a grain-inclusive food in the meantime - let me tell you, it is EXTREMELY hard to find a chicken-free, grain-inclusive diet with high-quality ingredients. Well, I ordered my new food a little late, and I was down to the bottom of the bag. I was nervous I would run out before my chewy delivery would get here so I ran down to my local pet store to buy a small bag.

I knew they sometimes had sample size bags of TOTW, and I literally needed one meals worth to mix with my remaining Wellness, so I went to the TOTW section AND I SAW THIS!!!!!!! I literally yelled out “WHAT?!?!!?” and scared the store clerk!! I bought a small bag, and had my dogs taste test it (they both love it), and plan on transitioning my dogs back to TOTW over the next month - Wellness Lamb and Barley is frustratingly hard to find, so I am thrilled to be able to switch! THANK YOU, TOTW!!! I’m so excited to be a customer again! … more

Taste of the Wild is highly rated by dog food advisor.com. That is why I bought it. It could just be this particular flavor but my dog turns up his nose and walks away. I have to top it with wet food to get him to eat it. Will not be buying this again

Kovu is allergic to chicken . So finding a food that actually doesn't have chicken anything in it is beyond hard. He started getting sick of his old food so got a small bag of the taste of the wild ancient grains and he is super happy for breakfast and dinner again . 5 stars from Kovu and i

My shih tzu is old and has a level 4 heart murmur. She loves the ceasar canned and eats the benificial. I deduced to get this from researching. At first the dry she looked at me and it was like “What is this crap.” I put some of the wet same brand and type with gravy on top, she sniffed at it then when I thought she was going to turn it down she tried it and seemed to like it. Then she pigged out on the dry. First time she ate anything other than the ceasar wet food and beneficial dry. We’ll See if she continues to eat it.

I have 6 little dogs: 2 full chis, 3 chi mixes, and one rat terrier. Two of the chi mixes will eat anything that will hold still for them. The others are varying levels of pickiness, as chis are known for. The rat terrier is usually not picky, but she drags out eating this food, as do most of the others. 9 times out of 10, at least 3 and sometimes 4 dogs will leave some food in their dishes. While the change from grain free to the ancient grains has left them with healthy coats and much less instances of me catching them eating poop, the fact that 4 of them leave food in their bowls is very telling. A friend tried this food when he heard I was switching from grain-free, and his dachshund mix I have 6 little dogs: 2 full chis, 3 chi mixes, and one rat terrier.

Tried pro-plan and my GSD itched like crazy. Vet recommended we get look for a fish variety food. This has helped.

Our large GS dogs eat this and we were out. So was the local pet store. Had this at home in less than 2 full days and free delivery because I bought a couple of inexpensive chew toys.

I've been feeding my dogs Taste of the wild for years. I alternate the different kinds but always stick with the Taste of the wild brand.

My girls have an allergy to processed chicken in dog food this food fits the bill no chicken whatsoever and they love it.

She wouldn't eat it even though she used to eat another version of this brand.
