Thank you so much!
Hi, Bonnie. We recommend a gradual transition between formulas over a period of 7 to 10 days. This is in case your pet has a sensitive stomach. You can do this by starting with 25% of the recommended feeding portion of the Appalachian Valley formula mixed with 75% of the recommended portion of the current formula for 2-3 days, then 50% of each for 2-3 days, and then 75% of the Appalachian Valley formula with 25% of the current formula for 2-3 days before feeding just the Appalachian Valley formula food.Date published: 2023-08-28We're thinking of switching our dog to your food. I see you have the Small Breed formula. However I was wondering if you have a Small Breed formula for Seniors (dog 8+)?
Jen2016, Appalachian Valley Small Breed Formula is a maintenance diet appropriate for an older dog.Date published: 2023-07-22Can you give salt content? I have a dog with a heart murmur and needs low sodium food. Or would any of your dry dog foods qualify as low sodium?
The sodium content of Appalachian Valley is 0.40% as fed. Several of our other formulas have lower sodium content than this one, however, we do not have any sodium-restricted diets.Date published: 2021-02-11Would it be possible to get a small sample pack to try it before I buy a huge bag and my baby doesn't eat it

If you’d like a personalized recipe recommendation, please contact us by visiting https://totw.pet/contact-us.Date published: 2023-08-04Can I give this specific formula (small breed) to my 2.5lb maltese 12 week old puppy? Even tho this is not stated to be for puppies.
Hi, Nikki. The Appalachian Valley Small Breed Canine Formula is a great choice after your Maltese is 10-12 months old. Prior to this age, we recommend either of our puppy formulas – High Prairie Puppy or Pacific Stream Puppy. Our puppy formulas provide excellent nutrition for puppies of all sizes and breeds, and have special features to help support optimal health and well-being for growing puppies. Plus, the kibble is smaller in size, making it easier for puppies to chew and digest.Date published: 2017-05-01Do you have sample bags...I don't want to buy a 14 lb. bag of something the dogs won't eat...
Hi Cheryl, we're so glad you're considering Taste of the Wild. To obtain a sample, please call 1-800-342-4808 or visit your local retailer.Date published: 2018-06-04Does taste of the wild have a weight control recipe
Hello, thanks for contacting us. While Taste of the Wild does not have a specific weight control recipe, our parent company, Diamond Pet Foods, makes a Diamond CARE Weight Management Formula for Adult Dogs that is low in fat and high in fiber which may be a good option for your dog.
