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.

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.
About Taste of the Wild
Headquartered in Missouri, Taste of the Wild is part of the family-owned Diamond Pet Food company. They use state-of-the-art facilities across the USA to create quality cat and dog food made to the highest nutritional standards. These grain-free recipes combine premium real meat, vegetables, legumes and fruits to satisfy your pet's natural cravings for a taste of the wild.
Taste of the Wild does use some ingredients that are not USA sourced like lamb from New Zealand, lamb meal and venison from Australia, duck meal from France, potato protein from Germany and dried chicory root from Belgium. There are ingredients that are critical to their formulations (i.e. folic acid and taurine) that can only be sourced out of China. Their choice is to either include these ingredients or manufacture our foods without them, which would not be in the best interest of your pet.
How many cups are in a 28lb bag?
Answer by • Jan 19, 2019
There's approximately 4 cups of kibble in every one pound of food. The 5-pound bag holds 20 cups of food, the 14-pound bag holds 56 cups and the 28-pound bag holds 112 cups.
WHAT IS CALCIUM PERCENTAGE?
Answer by • Jun 10, 2021
This variety contains approximately 1.9% Calcium content on an as fed basis (2.1% on a dry matter basis).
Leila is a moderately picky eater and allergic to chicken, so this seemed a good option to move to with a respectable ingredient profile. She has loved the kibble so far and we've had no issues with her not wanting to eat for a few weeks now. Seems to have overall more energy, too.

Taste of the wild
Got this food for our new puppy as he is having some allergy issues. wanted to try a No chicken protein food as we heard that may be the problem. Seems to have helped some, only more time will tell. He does REALLY like the food though.

Southwestern Food
I have a 2 year old Dutch shephard and a 2 year old Braque St Germaine, both of them eat this food with a little squirt of salmon oil in it. All my dogs enjoy the different foods and treats I get on my auto ship orders.

Flavor must have been bad/odd
My dogs did NOT like this flavor at all. I had to pour salmon oil over the food to get my Frenchie and Chihuahua to eat this flavor. They glady eat various other flavors from this brand. Maybe get the smallest bag if you want to try this one ....
