Transition Instructions
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.
Learn More About Taste of the Wild From Our Team of Experts
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.

Is there a significant difference between the puppy & adult food?
Answer by • Jun 12, 2018
The difference between the adult and puppy formulas, are the amount of nutrients. Puppies require more protein than adult dogs because their bodies are busy growing. Puppy food should be higher in calories than adult food to compensate for how much energy puppies expend by growing.
Based on my puppies weight, is the feeding instructions considered per meal or total fed to the dog throughout the day? I feed her twice a day AM&PM (20-30 range)
Answer by • Oct 23, 2018
The feeding guidelines are for daily feedings.
Can I switch between puppy Pacific stream and puppy high prairie without upsetting my puppy's stomach?
Answer by • Jul 18, 2018
Many pets enjoy eating more than one formula. To avoid digestive upset, we recommend limiting your rotation to two formulas and gradually mixing formulas over a couple of weeks. When you transition between formulas, slowly reduce the amount of the old formula and increase the new formula.
Tried transitioning our 3 mth old puppy onto this food (our 2 year old dog already eats adult formula TOTW). This poor puppy has had diarrhea for 4 days, waking us up several times in the middle of the night to go out. I didn’t see that this puppy formula has not only chicken fat in it but also beans, peas, & berries. Tried adding a binder (plain rice) to this food but it did not stop the diarrhea. So we stopped trying to transition to this food with the hope puppy’s bowels return to normal soon. SHAME on you Taste of The Wild - this is too harsh to be sold as a puppy formula! You lost points and a client on this one!

Love it!
I switched my puppy over to this as I wanted to get her on a more natural food that was grain free then what she was on. She’s been doing amazing on it, and it’s alright been almost a month since I switched her. No tummy issues or anything getting her switched over. Took about a week to get her switched, but neither of us could be happier in the puppy she is becoming!

Disappointing
My first experience was disappointing. I wanted to order 26# taste of wild puppy.
Out of stock. I then purchase 2 14# bags of the same. It cost me an extra 22.00 for the same amount of food.
Further, the price per bag is 3.00 more than my local feed store on auto delivery.
Delivery was top shelf. Just being honest.

My picky pup like it
I went through two types of puppy food before I found this one. I finally found one he would eat! I was worried about problems with diarrhea since others mentioned it, but I haven’t had any problems at all. His poops are nice and normal on it. He has been on it for almost two months now. As a bonus, it contains probiotics so I don’t have to buy them separately as a supplement. That’s saves us a good amount, so if you are looking at the price, factor that in if you buy probiotic supplements.

Don’t waste your money
Our 3 month old rot nova transitioned into this food. constantly had the runs to the point we had to go to the vet. We had to get probiotics and meds for her poor little tummy. We also tried the salmon and same thing explosive poo! Don’t waste your money on this. I’m super disappointed they must have changed the ingredients!

Diarrhea and Stinky Puppy
Our 4 month old Rottweiler loves the food, but unfortunately his digestive system does not. He’s been on this for two weeks after the full transition from his other puppy food, and he has diarrhea constantly. We made a vet appointment Friday after talking to Chewy’s free vet, and our Vet said to try a different brand since everything else was perfect health wise. Also, he started to smell like urine. He doesn’t pee in his kennel, and doesn’t roll around in urine spots outside. This is the only change in his diet for the past two weeks, so there has to be a connection.

Dogs Love It
Got this brand because my roommate has been feeding it to her dog, read some nutritionist reviews and it seems to always be considered an affordable yet quality brand. I’ve been using it with homemade dog food mixed in but even on days I don’t mix in anything my dog seems to still really enjoy it.
