Taste of the Wild Rocky Mountain Grain-Free Dry Cat Food

Back in 2010, I adopted a four-week-old kitten with cerebellar hypoplasia. She was sick from severe flea infestation and had violent, messy diarrhoea, which she smeared on the floors by dragging her bottom. Even after the fleas were cleared up and I made the house accessible for a limited-jumping, Velcro-pawed, wobblesome kitten, the GI issues continued. After a long series of attempts to find a kitten food she could eat, I decided to try TotW, because despite being an “adult” cat food, the nutritional profile outstrips most popular kitten foods, far exceeding the AAFCO requirements for kitten nutrition, with quality ingredients. The difference was practically overnight, and my two adult cats Back in 2010, I adopted a four-week-old kitten with cerebellar hypoplasia.

The difference was practically overnight, and my two adult cats loved it as well: despite being as different as night and day physically, a large, fluffy, long-haired ginger boy versus a slender, sleek, short-haired dilute tortie, they both flourished on this food as well. I’ve just rescued another kitten, and while she doesn’t have nearly as many struggles as that other baby did, her GI issues are persistent. After giving her KMR and Blue Buffalo Wilderness kitten foods, as well as the yogurt suggested by the vet after she verified that it’s not a parasite or a viral infection, I’m going back to TotW. I can’t imagine why it took me so long to remember that’s why I switched to it before! … more

The most important thing you can do for your pet is to avoid any product that contains grains. I found TOTW for this primary reason many years ago. My original 5 cats only began with a grain free diet after I had learned more about what a crappy pet food product was and more about good pet nutrition. The crap your vet pushes is likely the worst pet food on the planet and once you switch to a superior brand like TOTW you will notice amazing changes in your cat or dog. They very seldom will have bad breath, their poop won't stink, their fur will be shiny and healthy, their teeth will be white, and your cats demeanor will be more content.

My oldest cat lived to 22 years old and I attribute a grain free diet to have been the catalyst to his longevity. Foods that contain grains require your pet to hydrate like crazy putting too much load on their kidney's. Renal failure is the number one cause of death in cats and grains are a contributing factor. Your pet is a carnivore and requires a meat diet not a wheat diet. I love the balanced real wild life formula that TOTW has created that mimics as close to what a wild cat would eat. Best of all my cats are always interested and waiting to sink their teeth into it at feeding time and devour every last bite. … more

I’ve been feeding my 1 and a 5 month old kitty Totw for a little less than a year now. His teeth are looking better, his coat is coming in beautifully, and his skin is doing great. I’ve also noticed a raise in attentiveness and energy! The food doesn’t smell nearly as bad as some dry foods and he seems to love it. My only note is to make absolute sure your transition is very slow- ours took 10 days. This will ensure your kitty doesn’t have any tummy problems from a sudden change in diet! :) It’s very affordable for such a high quality brand. I 100% recommend this.

Anyone else's cat having trouble with the new formula? Mine has been getting sick and has developed itchy skin. After two years on this previously perfect (for my cat) formula, I think we're on the hunt for something else.

This is the second flavor of Taste of the Wild dry cat food we have tried. We also feed our cats several other brands. Maybe it is just that this is a different flavor but my wife reports the cats all it seem to prefer this new flavor.

I have 2 cats plus my son has moved home and brought his cat with him. A co-worker who raises dogs recommended Taste of the Wild saying it was a healthy food without breaking the bank. My Maine Coon has become very finicky, but he LOVES the Taste of the Wild Rocky Mountain Grain-free dry cat food. All 3 cats love this food. My son's cat has a rough coat, but his coat feels better after switching to this food.

Tried feeding this to my cat for a couple of days, but he would throw up within a few minutes after eating. I ended up switching to purina one, which he eats with no problems.

My kitty loves his new food. He went from purina one to this. I could tell he didn’t like his food that much but he still ate it. I gave him this so he’d get better quality and he really seems to love it!!

My cat loves this food and I really like it because of the high fat content and it seems to be made with good ingredients. Excellent choice if you want to spoil your little furry friends.

It's probably because their last food was "diet" food, but at least they're eating and I'm just giving them less. Let's pray for no hairballs and this one will be a winner!
