Taste of the Wild High Prairie Grain-Free Dry Dog Food

I have a husky that from birth has had horrible stomach issues. I was told by vets to avoid grain free and stick with the "top five" SD, Purina, Iams, RC and BB". All this foods made him worse. So I paid BIG bucks to see a Veterinary Nutrionalist. Turns out Vets arent hardly taught anything about nutrition in school and those top five are pushed on universities especially SD and Purina. She suggested a raw diet that she would formulate with a vitamin additive as "the best" and I have no doubts it would be. However after doing the math I could not afford that. So she helped me find a food that would help my pup. This is the food we settled on. I had to do a very slow transfer but soon he started I have a husky that from birth has had horrible stomach issues.

I had to do a very slow transfer but soon he started picking out only the taste of the wild pieces and leaving the other lay in his bowl. He never had any gi upset and this is the first food he has ever shown real interest in. My Nutrionalist also has me adding sardines to his food twice a week (in water no salt) but I would speak to a nutritionist to be sure that would be right for your dog. In the end, please don't just take your vets word for it. Do some research and find what's best for your dog. Especially if the have issues like my boy use to have. In the end I am very happy with this food! I hope this helps and you find what's best for your dog! … more

I think the formula may have changed? And our dogs were no longer doing well with it. They developed allergies. And started eating grass outside. After speaking with our vet, we made the switch to a different brand. Our vet doesn't recommend Taste of the Wild. And based on our personal experience with it, we don't either, now. Our vet also recommended avoiding grain free, and other specialty type, diets unless necessary. We thought we were doing good by feeding grain free, turns out we weren't. Both dogs quit eating grass after we made the switch to something else. And their allergies have improved, too.

Absolutely do not buy this product. My German Shepherd is only one and has developed some serious issues due to this food. Stay away from grain free diets unless recommended by a vet. My vet told me that the reason my dog now has these issues is due to this dog food. Beware and stay AWAY from grain free dog food. I cannot stress this enough and do not make the mistake I did.

I think I have tried almost every brand of blue Buffalo. My dog rejects every one of them. He seems to like science diet pretty well. But I am going to have to start buying locally in smaller bags so instead of wasting food I can try to find something that he likes.I am 78 years old on disability and a fixed income and I can't afford to be wasting money on big bags of dog food. I like your company and I like your fast shipping but it's too expensive for me to be experimenting. I welcome any suggestions.

My GSD ate this food his whole life and I thought I was giving him the best out there. Do some research for your pups. He died at only 8 years old due to DCM. A study conducted found that taste of the wild was one of the dog food brands with the most linked cases of DCM deaths in dogs. Please do some research on grain free diets. I try to inform as many people as I can now. :(

One of the last four bags of this dog food looked different and smelled a little different. We started using it and one of our dogs, the picky eater, didn't want to eat it .However the worst part was all four of my dogs threw up on my livingroom carpet over the next few days. We stopped feeding it and opened another bag from the new delivery and all seems ok. I am however thinking about changing dog food.

THE DOG FOOD ORDER WAS GREAT HOWEVER I ORDERED A TOY WHEN IT ARRIVE I GAVE IT TO MY DOG AND IT 5 MINUTES IT WAS DESTROYED ITWAS A KONG SO I FIGURED IT WOULD LAST FOR A WHILE, I CALLED CHEWY THEY SAID THEY WOULD SEND A REPLACEMENT WHICH THEY DID BUT SENT THE SAME TOY. IT WAS GONE IN 5 MINUTES WHY WOULD YOU REPLACE WITH THE SAME TOY THAT DIDN'T LAST WITH THE SAME ONE.

For reference... We have an 11 year old, 50lb, female, Aussie/Blue Tick Coonhound mix with the long coat of an Aussie and the markings of a Blue Tick. And, yes, she is the most beautiful dog ever. We switched over to a grain free and/or limited ingredient kibble for our precious pooch several years ago as she would always struggle with itchy skin, dry patches, dull fur, excessive ear wax (that would often smell and lead to infections even with consistent bathing and grooming). We found this while searching and comparing brands and decided to give it a try. Of the 5 other brands we regularly purchase and rotate thru Chewy depending on availability and price, this blend has been the best yet for For reference...

We found this while searching and comparing brands and decided to give it a try. Of the 5 other brands we regularly purchase and rotate thru Chewy depending on availability and price, this blend has been the best yet for our girl. We have only been feeding this blend to her for 1 week and the results have been immediately noticeable. I usually wait awhile to write a review, but this brand was particularly noteworthy. Considering the individual needs of each dog vary based on breed, size, activity level, dietary needs, allergies/sensitivities, etc... This blend has made her fur softer and shinier, her ears aren't producing as much wax or smelly, her skin isn't itchy or dry and patchy, she doesn't have gas, and her poops are just right. They don't stink, aren't hard or too soft, and they are the right color, shape, and size. She seems to have more energy. She's been a bit more vocal too. As with age, "seniors" experience joint stiffness and slow down a bit. She's been going up and down steps quicker and even jumping up a step. That's something for her, especially because she has the traits of a lazy hound rather than those of an active Aussie. It seems that her system prefers this blend because it has a majority of 4 legged land meats/proteins as the main ingredients rather than flying and swimming ones. The other blends we have tried favor chicken, turkey, salmon, ocean fish as the first and top few listed ingredients. While she does like those proteins, her system clearly prefers 4 legged land proteins. We do feed our girl fresh meats, seafood, and veggies as well. I sure hope we can continue to find this blend at a decent price. It seems to be a winner for our girl. … more

I was trying to incorporate this new food. I started with a 75% old food and 25% new taste of the wild food. Her stomach could not handle this grain free food. I’ve changed food before without any problems. Very loose stools. Think pudding. Yuck It is probably not the brand as much as it is the type of food.

He was sick before I recieved this food so it's introduction was a little delayed. He loved the smell of this food before he tasted it. We are still doing the transition mixing old food with new but he finishes it all.
