Questions & Answers

36 Customer Questions

How many cups of food are there in the 5 lb bag approx?

Answer by Chewy • Dec 16, 2025
There are approximately 20 cups in a 5-pound bag, approximately 56 cups in a 14-pound bag, and approximately 112 cups in a 28-pound bag of the Taste of the Wild Ancient Stream Smoke-Flavored Salmon with Ancient Grains Dry Dog Food.

What is the "natural flavor" listed in the ingredients for the Ancient Stream formula?

Answer by Chewy • Aug 03, 2023
Natural flavoring is an ingredient added for enhanced palatability and an extra-tasty meaty flavor in your pet's food. It's made from hydrolyzed chicken, which means that the protein is broken down into small particles that are less likely to be recognized by the immune system in a pet with food allergies.

I realize this product contains grains, but is it wheat free?

Answer by Chewy • Nov 28, 2019
This food is made in the USA with ingredients from trusted and sustainable sources around the world and is completely free from corn, wheat, filler, and artificial flavors, colors and preservatives.

What is the digestability?

Answer by Chewy • Nov 04, 2019
Taste of the Wild formulates their recipes for a digestibility of 86%-88% for all varieties.

This brand changed their formula, causing my dog to become very ill. We had to visit the vet because he was vomiting and having diarrhea. Now, he refuses to eat this dry food since the formula was altered. Interestingly, he ate some of the older, unused portion from a portable container without issue. We discarded the entire new bag and also discovered similar reports online. Be cautious!

Lawsuit!

Imagine trusting a company for years to only find out it caused your two dogs to have heart issues. This brand has a lawsuit against them for misleading customers

Imagine trusting a company for years to only find out it caused your two dogs to have heart issues. This brand has a lawsuit against them for misleading customers about the quality of their food. Search their name and lawsuit and you can read yourself. I am appalled that I rotated different kibble from this brand and had no idea I was hurting my dogs. My one girl has passed due to cardiomyopathy and now the other is suffering the same way. I just bought a new bag (still unopened) they will go to the trash. No, I will not donate and hurt another!!

Still trying to figure out if this is the best food for my dog’s allergies but huge improvement over Purina Pro Plan, that suddenly started making him itch and making his stomach constantly churn. I’m guessing they upped the cheap chicken mean as a source of protein. But he’s so much better after changing to this chicken-free Also ancient grains formula. Also wheat and corn free , which are also common allergens. Also trying the lamb version. They both are way better than the Purina for my dog. Just a little pricey in my opinion. Wish there were something allergen-free that didn’t cost so much.

I used to feed my dog another variation of this same food but swapped to this when my vet told me grain free diets were linked to cancer in dogs. My dog enjoys the food as it doesn’t stink like I thought it might being fish.

We have 2 Dachshunds and although we read great reviews and this was recommended by a very good source, it made our youngest Dachshund very gassy. They never really liked the flavor and always left half their food in the bowl.. which isn't typical.

Didn't work out

I like the ingredients in this brand and loved the idea of moving my rottie puppy over to something fish based. But boy oh boy did it give him the absolute worst

I like the ingredients in this brand and loved the idea of moving my rottie puppy over to something fish based. But boy oh boy did it give him the absolute worst gas. And it wasn't just here and there. It was all day every day crop dusting that caused me to have to buy THREE bottles of febreeze. On top of that he started developing dandruff and a dull coat, which was really surprising. As soon as I switched him back to blue buffalo large breed puppy he was no longer clearing the room with his farts.

My frenchie has been struggling with finding the correct food. He has a 2 bald patches that have lingered for a year and only after finishing this first bag of food not only is his coat silkier, but THE HAIR IS BEGINNING TO REGROW in his bald patches. I can’t believe it. The farts are bad but his stools are normal and I am so impressed with the hair that I will deal with the farts.

Rosie is not interested in eating the salmon. I believe she prefers the meat flavor. I have to add toppers to her food daily, otherwise she won’t eat. Maybe it’s time to try a different brand.
