When changing to Taste of the Wild, we recommend making a gradual transition over 7 - 10 days to help avoid possible digestive upset in sensitive pets. Add a small amount of new food to your dog’s previous diet, gradually increasing the new and decreasing the previous diet until the transition is complete.
The Diet Nature Intended
They might not be wolves or coyotes, but today's domestic dogs share the same ancestral cravings. To satisfy these instinctual appetites, Taste of the Wild wet and dry formulas are made with real, roasted meat plus fruits, vegetables and legumes that are chosen for their specific health benefits.
Energy That Lasts
Taste of the Wild is made with premium meats like wild boar; buffalo; smoked salmon and turkey; and roasted bison, lamb, quail, venison and duck. Every formula is grain-free and provides lasting energy with complex carbs from sweet potatoes and legumes. These highly digestible proteins and fiber-rich carbohydrates will keep your pup feeling full and energized throughout the day.
Immune System Support
Since 70% of your pet's immune system is found in the gut, it makes sense to choose a food that's good for the digestive tract. Taste of the Wild includes prebiotics and species-specific probiotics with bacteria that's naturally found in a dog's GI tract. The proprietary K9 Strain probiotics are added after the kibble is cooked so your dog gets guaranteed live, active cultures that support healthy digestion.
Maximizing Nutrient Absorption
To help your pet's body absorb all of the beneficial minerals in her food, Taste of the Wild recipes have chelated minerals. That means they can easily attach to proteins for absorption during digestion. So your canine pal will enjoy the full value of every carefully selected mineral that these foods have to offer.
Perfectly Balanced Omegas
Taste of the Wild gives your pup just the right dose of omega fatty acids in every bite. Marine-sourced omega-3 comes from salmon oil, smoked salmon or ocean fish meal, or a combination of these ingredients. Omega-6 from plant sources balance out the omega-3s, and they work together to help maintain your pet's skin and coat health and to support overall wellness.
Ingredients for Better Health
The powerful superfood trio of blueberries, raspberries and tomatoes can be found in every delicious recipe, along with their immune-boosting properties.
TOMATOES and TOMATO POMACE: Help support overall health by providing vitamin C, soluble fiber and rich in concentrated lycopene, a premier antioxidant.
BLUEBERRIES: Antioxidant-rich superfood that's full of flavor and loaded with vitamins C and E, healthy carbs, dietary fiber and manganese.
RASPBERRIES: Delicious berries packed with potassium, manganese, copper, iron and magnesium, and they also provide fiber and antioxidants.

I have used Taste of the Wild dog foods and cat foods for almost 10 years. The quality is wonderful, and it is well priced to be such a high quality food. My daughter’s dogs would rather have our Taste of the Wild than the food she was giving her dogs ~ that was twice as expensive! Now she uses Taste of the Wild. The dogs (and the cats) love ALL the flavors!

My Maltipoo is super picky but he actually loves this food. He used to have terrible bowels because of all the wet food I was feeding and he would starve himself with other dry foods. Taste of the Wild has been nothing but good to my little guy. It's Dogfood Adviser approved, picky eater approved and his poop has been better than ever.

I switched to this from Blue Buffalo because my dog would pick out the smaller chunks and spit them all over the place. Now my she loves this stuff. With other food, she would pick at it slowly throughout the day, but with this she chows down and eats it all at once like a normal dog. Love it!

This is the first time I buy this brand and I am very pleased with the results, the kibble is a good size for small breeds (I have a Yorkshire and a mini schnauzer) and both eat all the food with a spoon of cottage cheese. Specially my Yorkshire he runs around when serving his food :)

Bought this product looking to change up my boys food. Well I should have left well enough alone since purchasing this product they have been leaving food in their bowl, unless I mix something with it and even then they will pick out the goodies. This food is not a good fit for them.

Its still a bit early to tell, but so far she really loves the food. She liked her old food too, but I wanted to try something that was highly rated. She does seem to have more frequent bowel movements and we are monitoring this to see what the difference might be.

My dog is usually not very picky but she seemed to take a while to warm up to this food. She is eating it now but not with the same desire as she was her last brand. I will not purchase this again.

Our small miniature schnauzer mix is allergic to chicken. We feed our cats & dog only grain-free food. Roxie really likes the taste of this dry food & she's a picky eater. Excellent price, too.

When the Chewy box arrived, I thought it would be safe in the kitchen floor, but I came in and found the Weinee dog standing in the box on top of the huge bag of food tearing it open to eat it. So he highly recommends it.

When I adopted my Boston Terrier from "Boston Terrier and Short Nose Rescue of Oklahoma" bostonrescueoklahoma.org ,THIS is the food they had her on. At first, I saw no reason to change. Then I did some research to compare TOTW to other mainstream brands, and I was both shocked and amazed! This food really IS superior to the others! (I also compared the freeze dried raw food, and thought it was too expensive, and occasionally see that it is recalled for bacterial contamination! No thanks.) I truly believe that good health is directly related to good food, and my BT has a tight, shiny coat and bright eyes to prove it! My dog's teeth look great, and she is happy and energetic at age 6-7ish.

My dog's teeth look great, and she is happy and energetic at age 6-7ish. She always digs right in to her bowl of dry TOTW every morning and evening. She lets me know if I am late! :) I must also add this: My previous Boston ate a mainstream brand, and never seemed to really like it, or any of the other mainstream brands I offered her. I didn't really know any better. She spent the last several years of her life with liver problems and was on expensive Rx food. She didn't feel good. Looking back, I wonder if this could have been prevented if I had put her on TOTW to begin with! … more
