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 a 6 lb chiweenie and I wanted to find a healthier dog food option that I could afford. Taste of the Wild is very affordable and was one of the foods listed in my research as a quality, healthier dog food. The kibble is bigger than the Nutro I was using, but she handles them fine. A huge plus is how much she loves it! She sniffs all over the bag & gets very excited. I do wish the bag was resealable, as I feed my senior dog a different food and don't have two containers to put them in for storage. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with Taste of the Wild.

I used Merrick when I first started with Chewy for my 3 Mini Doxies and Mom's Poodle. They liked it but it soon got to where the kibble got larger and it was hard for them to eat it. Call of the Wild has small kibble and they all love that!!! Easier for them to eat and they seem to love the taste too!!! This is a win win and I'm glad I switched them!!! And I get AWESOME kisses after they get finished eating!!!! Love,love,love!!!!

My boyz love it, I put some in their dish dry and they munched it right down, I usually mix the dry with canned wet food but tried it straight out of the bag when it first showed up at my door. No issues with it.

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!

I have two bull terriers but I just adopted a Chihuahua. The BTs were already in Taste of the Wild so I purchased this for the new little one and he loves it. I’m so glad they have a small breed option

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 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.

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.

My 11 year old Beagle mix is a very picky eater. She devoured this within minutes. Excellent product. The pieces are tiny making it easier for her to eat.
