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 cat’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 cheetahs or lions, but today's domestic cats 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 fish and meats like smoked salmon, trout, ocean fish, roasted venison and chicken. 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 pet 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 cat's GI tract. The proprietary Viables probiotics are added after the kibble is cooked so your cat 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 kitty 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 little wildcat just the right dose of omega fatty acids in every bite. Marine-sourced omega-3 comes from smoked salmon or ocean fish, 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.

My boys like it!
By DianeB on Feb 27, 2021
My 2 boys (9-month-old brothers)like it, but of course, I haven't found any kitten/cat food they don't like. I switched to cat food because I felt they were gaining too much weight on kitten food. 390kcal/cup to about 440kcal/cup in the kitten food they were eating. Still has a lot of protein and other good nutrients for young cats.

my two cats love it
By JAMnyc on Feb 18, 2021
Obviously I can't appreciate and rate Taste of the Wild myself! But my two cats, who have very different eating habits, both love it. The list of ingredients indicates it is high quality and free of the usual harmful fillers. And it is priced more reasonably than what I believe are comparable high quality dry foods.

My cats literally like it TOO much!
By JasonL on Jan 10, 2021
This is the best cat food I've ever purchased, and I've purchased A TON. I'm actually fairly new to Taste of the Wild. A local pet store had small sample bags and my cats couldn't get enough. I went and bought them one of these full-sized bags, and they like it so much they've started rejecting other food that they used to eat. They used to ignore dry food entirely and only eat their Blue Basics wet food. Now it's flipped, and they ignore most wet food and only eat this particular kibble. This is the first time I've had to monitor their dry food consumption. It is best paired with a puzzle-feeder tray, in my experience. So like, I'm really glad the kitties love this food and I'll continue to This is the best cat food I've ever purchased, and I've purchased A TON. I'm actually fairly new to Taste of the Wild.

Great crunch, good flavor!
By Pundette on Feb 1, 2021
When I give my kids salmon wet food, or the corresponding Taste of the Wild salmon & venison wet food, I add some of this dry food. They snarf it like it's Crack! They're picky about flavors - heck, they're cats, after all! - so when I give them poultry and put the S&V dry on top, it gets the snub. But with fish/seafood, they're all over it like green on grass!

Best Loved Dry Food Found to Date
By Sammy on Dec 13, 2020
Our cat Sammy only eats quality, wet cat food that we buy from Chewy.com. However, recently we went shopping for a good quality small pellet-like dry cat food, not so much for supplemental feeding, but as a healthier "treat and reward" incentive for training purposes. Well, this Taste of the Wild did the trick beyond our expectations. Sammy isn't a picky eater but he hasn't liked any of the other dry foods we have tried until he tried Taste of the Wild. He loves this stuff. We recently taught him some new lessons like ringing a bell. He learned his new "trick" in record time (3 days) thanks to his new favorite "treat" incentive, Taste of the Wild.

Both Cats Love It!
By Kacie on Dec 17, 2020
Our cats usual food was out of stock, so I searched Chewy to see what else there was. They had been eating the same food for years. It was one of the first foods we purchased for them and they seemed to be doing okay with it, so we just stuck with it. I wasn't sure how our female cat would do with this particular variety because she tends to only like fishy food/fish flavors. (I know there's smoked salmon in this, but it isn't one of the first few ingredients.) Anyhow, I decided to give it a try because of all the positive reviews. Well, they both LOVE it! I realized the female cat is begging for treats less because she's eating more food instead.

I'm very pleased and as long as they're both feeling and looking good, we'll stick with this. I should also mention that they used to throw up occasionally with the Crave food and you'd see the whole food pieces. So far, no pukes have happened with the Taste of the Wild. … more

Powerful and Taste!
By IndianaWoman on Feb 11, 2021
Wookie, my 13 years old Himalaya, was losing weight with his regular food. After trying two well known brands of cat food, he definitely chooses Taste of the Wild. He gained more that one pound in two weeks and has a better hair.

Good quality food at a reasonable price point
By Amber on Jan 22, 2021
I've been getting this for my cats for years. It's got great, nutrient-dense ingredients without cheap filler, but still at a reasonable price point. It doesn't smell too strong either (good for humans). My cats love it.

Superior dry food
By Janice on Jan 4, 2021
My cats LOVE this product as do I. I particularly like that the kibble is uniformly small pieces. Over the years I’ve had problems with my cats managing most dry cat food due to the size of the pieces, especially my elderly cats. This will be a mainstay in my house.

Hershey and Shadow
By DeeDee on Jan 23, 2021
I have an outdoor cat and an indoor cat, neither one of them would eat this food. I thought since my indoor cat was eating the dog food which is this brand and had venison in it she would eat it. I was wrong.
