Sierra Mountain Canine Recipe with Roasted Lamb is rated out of 5 by 155.Rated 5 out of 5 by allikat88 from Extended the life of my dog! I had been feeding my Rottweiler/lab mix another food for 11 years, when she started getting very sick. She would vomit and not want to eat for many days. I decided to switch her to a grain free food and choose the TOTW Sierra Mountain blend due to the nutrient requirements and ingredients. She loved it and never got sick like that again. Unfortunately, she passed away a couple of months ago, but lived to be 15 years old. I have TOTW to thank for the additional years I got with her.Date published: 2018-04-22Rated 5 out of 5 by TuxedoJones from Because he had to choose just one! My puppy, Rex, is a 16 month old Blue Heeler and has been eating Taste Of The Wild brand dog food since he was three months old. He outweighs his litter siblings and will soon outweigh his heaviest older sibling. He is a healthy dog and is very well behaved, for the most part. He enjoys every flavor offered except is allergic to salmon so Pacific Stream isn’t an option. I wouldn’t have his food choice be any other brand.Date published: 2020-02-06Rated 5 out of 5 by BoyMom3 from Clean bowl after every meal! Since cocker spaniels are prone to allergies, ear problems, and skin conditions, I decided to start my puppy out on a high quality grain free pet food from the beginning. After much research, I chose to go with Taste of the Wild.... first on the High Prairie puppy food and now on to the Sierra Mountain formula. My boy loves this food! I never have to worry if he will eat, and we've had no vet visits for health problems or concerns. Also, it's very reasonably priced, which is always a plus. Great food!Date published: 2018-04-20Rated 5 out of 5 by GnarlyCarly from Helped Dog with Sensitive Stomach!!! We have a 5 month old GSD and switched her dog food several times because she would have diarrhea every couple of days. Started looking at taste of the wild because it was higher quality dry food that had every single flavor as grain free. Tried the high prairie flavor and it was fine at first, but she was back to diarrhea in a few days, so started to look up other options. Some people said that particular flavor might be too much protein for some dogs and that supports my theory that she just has a super sensitive stomach. She’s been dewormed and all that so we knew that wasn’t the issue. Then I saw someone suggested the lamb flavored formula as it helped their dog with the same problem. Slowly switched her over to that one, but even the first day you could see was much more solid! Also want to add that with both formulas, dog absolutely loved it! She would chow it down and if any of the other animals got near they learned to expect some barking for getting to close to her bowl!! First food that we’ve had success on after trying several different brands and styles!! Thank you TOTW!!Date published: 2018-04-17Rated 5 out of 5 by Andrew M from Finally Found a Dog Food Both Dogs Love My dogs are both picky and have different tastes so I've been trying several different dogs food from Blue Buffalo to Canidae and I just couldn't find a food both dogs would be happy to eat. I finally switched to taste of the wild and eventually tried Sierra Mountain and I have never seen my dogs so happy to eat. It's a high quality dog food and my dogs love it!Date published: 2016-09-24Rated 5 out of 5 by RaiderFabio from No problem with sensitive puppy I have a 1 year old German Wirehaired Pointer who has been really food sensitive for his entire life. After the previous food brand hit the news in the worst way possible, we finally decided to move on and but TOTW dog food. Friends told us that lamb is more digestible than chicken, so we gave it a try. Two weeks after (and with very little food transition) our puppy is perfect! No soft stools, no gastrointestinal problems... Just perfect!Date published: 2020-01-29Rated 5 out of 5 by bloop from Love this food! I recently adopted a dog and have been feeding her variations of the Taste of the Wild grain-free recipes. We cycle through the different flavors so she doesn’t get bored and she LOVES them. She likes the food so much that we use the kibble as a low-value treat when training! She’s a two-year old Aussie mix named Maddie and this food not only makes her coat shine but keeps her lean and fit. We especially LOVE the variety of protein types so she can have variety and I can have peace of mind that I know what I’m feeding her. The breakdown of ingredients and nutrients on the back of all the food is SUPER helpful.Date published: 2023-03-17Rated 1 out of 5 by Concerned Pet Owner from From Hero to Zero Not sure where you went wrong but SOMETHING IS WRONG. We've been feeding Sierra Mountain for months and our dog was perfectly fine. This last bag that we bought in July he has been losing weight, lethargic and has been trouble walking. The SAME problems that many others have been reporting on consumer reports. How could you possibly be ignoring this? We will NEVER buy your products again. SHAME ON YOU.Date published: 2017-08-21Rated 5 out of 5 by Rachael H from The BEST food out there! I recently switched to this dog food and I’ve already noticed quite a few GREAT changes in my dogs diet and overall health. My German Shepherd Black Lab mix is about 10 years old and has gotten dull fur as he has aged, but after I switched to the new food it got shiny almost instantly! His stool has gotten a lot better (less runny) and his breath doesn’t stink anymore! I love that the food is packed with vegetables and fruits so I know he’s getting a well balanced meal. This food has been a life changer and I’ll definitely be keeping him on it! thanks TOW!Date published: 2018-04-16Rated 5 out of 5 by Momtoall from Our dog thrived on this and this alone This specific flavor, Sierra Mountain, was our mainstay for years. The only food I could find that my dog could eat. She is allergic to fish oil, a very common ingredient and I did a lot of searching to find this food. She did wonderfully on it; bright, energetic, soft coat. Now, however, the recipe has changed to include fish oil. After numerous trips to the vet for allergies and ear infections, I finally checked the ingredient label. I have now checked every TOW dry food, only to find that they all contain fish meal and/or oil. So I'm very sorry to say I will be back to checking labels to find another food she can tolerate. I'm sorry to leave, but her health dictates it.Date published: 2020-08-31Rated 5 out of 5 by Rbibegon from Good quality food. I feed my american bulldog with this food, after i try some differents , it's a very good and high quality food and my dog feel good with this and like it a lot. Now he is 5 years old and very happy dog from Israel...........Thank you for your product.Date published: 2017-07-19Rated 5 out of 5 by Carlejw from Recommended By All! I we have 5 big dogs of 4 different breeds. Each one can't wait for their bowl to be put down. They are all doing very well with this food.Date published: 2018-04-22Rated 5 out of 5 by Grim Icky and Schmen from Love all Taste of the Wild foods My dogs are currently both on the Sierra Mountain formula and I get many compliments on how healthy they look, because they are. The cat loves his Taste of the Wild dry food, too. I've fed it for years and recommend it to everyone I know. Great quality products with good ingredients that the animals all love.Date published: 2017-11-16Rated 5 out of 5 by Darci from Great for all of our dogs. We have been feeding our terrier mutts TOTW lamb formula for years, after switching from a competitor brand when one of my dogs had allergy issues. They have done great since the switch. About a month ago we rescued a young husky from an abusive neighbor. The husky was under weight and had ZRD, a severe zinc deficiency. Since switching the husky to TOTW lamb formula he had gained the proper amount of weight and the ZRD has cleared up, just by feeding him this food. We are very happy to have found Taste of the Wild!Date published: 2018-01-05Rated 5 out of 5 by Ravensmom from Raven won't eat any other brand! Raven is a 5 1/2 years old. Raven had eaten Pedigree and High Protien Dog Chow until I found Taste of the wild. For 2 years now Raven has eaten Taste of the Wild Sierra Mountain Recipe. Her quality of life has improved so much just since she has started eating this food. She has so much energy now. Her coat has become shiny and so soft. I have to recommend this product (any flavor) to anyone willing to listen. This product is the only food that I will buy her. Take it from me, if you have a sluggish pup with any kind of grain allergy, or if you just want to get the best food on the market, please do your fur baby a favor and buy this food. I promise you, you will see a world of difference in them.Date published: 2022-04-27Rated 5 out of 5 by emott33 from High quality, high value When we rescued our boy Archie he was dealing with mange, weight control and other health issues. Our vet let us know he may be struggling with allergies to certain flavors/types of dog food. As soon as we tried Taste of the Wild he almost immediately showed improvement in all aspects of his health concerns. His weight gain no longer made him bloated but instead healthy and filled in. His coat is soft and strong. The amount he needs to eat is nearly half of what other brands required in order to keep a solid weight. Best of all, Taste of the Wild offers so many variations that we get to change it up and give him new flavors to try and at a high value in price. Don't wait to try this for your pups!Date published: 2022-04-26Rated 5 out of 5 by Victoria from Rocky "wolfed" it down! I have a 17 month old Dameranian named Rocky. He has seizures and through the process of elimination, I found he's highly sensitive to chemicals and poultry. He became an extremely picky eater, afraid of becoming sick I suppose. Trying to find a dog food that doesn't have poultry/fowl in it is like trying to find the proverbial needle. Not to mention expensive! I've made him homemade food from the day he came into our family, so that was no problem. But there are times when supplemental food is a necessary luxury. But he hated every single food we tried. Not the Sierra Mountain! Short story...Rocky loves it. Thank you so much for an affordable, appealing, healthy dog food. I bought one can of the Sierra Mountain, also. I'll see tomorrow what he thinks of that.Date published: 2017-07-11Rated 5 out of 5 by rockycliff from Llasa Apso Loves meal time! Ginger is 6 and I have had her the last two years. We love the lamb formula, no allergies! Coat looks great. She is 20 lbs and 1 cup fills her up. Nugget size is great for her small size. She has a mostly seditary life style. We walk about a mile per day, she is in the yard some, but mostly naps and watches out the windows. Glad she was on this brand when I got her!Date published: 2017-02-01Rated 5 out of 5 by Cubayme79 from All Dogs Onboard! Our vet recommended this food for our 7 year old Lab Mix who has severe skin issues. We also have 2 mini-schnauzers who are skin sensitive as well and prone to hotspots. One of the schnauzers is very picky eater. Well, when I pulled out Sierra Mountain Taste of the Wild, you would've thought THIS was the food he was waiting to get for years! No issues, upset stomachs, Nothing. Just happy to eat their yummy food. I don't even have to mix it with anything. They are content eating their dry kibble.Date published: 2022-04-26Rated 5 out of 5 by Slussm from Sensitive tummies great on this Our youngest dog has always had a sensitive tummy. TOW high Sierra with lamb is the one that I do not have to worry about making her unhappy. Thank you.Date published: 2018-04-22Rated 5 out of 5 by Vict from No Ear infections This is the second standard poodle that we have fed Sierra Mountain to and they both like it very much. Outside of being a very good food at a reasonable price it has 2 benefits. The first is that both standards had problems with ear infections when feeding them a more expensive quality food (Blue Buffalo). However within 1 week of switching them over to Sierra Mountain the infections stopped, gone. The other benefit is that rotating flavours is easy with so many different choices.Date published: 2020-09-24Rated 5 out of 5 by Maui1965 from Best dog food ever We have 4 doxie and a great pyrenees so wwr cover the size spectrum from huge to small. Our little ones had allergies so we decided to try grain free. We were lucky that Taste of the Wild was the first, and last, food we tried. The dogs loved it and the scratching stopped within a few weeks. They don't have a favorite flavor. We rotate to a different one each time we buy. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good dry food to feed your four legged family.Date published: 2018-04-21Rated 5 out of 5 by Alex from My dog lives for this food! I have been feeding my dog, Zoe, taste of the wild for 3 years now ever since she was a pup. never have I visibly seen a difference in a dogs look and performance because of their diet until now. Her coat is incredibly soft and healthy and she honestly looks like the poster board dog as far as what a healthy animal should look like. I swear by this brand, and I recommend it to all of my friends and future dog owners, taste of the wild is as good as it gets.Date published: 2020-07-16Rated 5 out of 5 by Maximus from Our Dogs are Healthy and Happy We started feeding our dogs Taste of the Wild about 15 years ago. Our dogs love it and they are healthier. Our vet just said our 12 year old mastiff has excellent health and noted that he has never been ill. We had an Akita with an auto immune disease that improved dramatically when we switched her to Taste of the Wild - she went from hardly moving to full of energy. The vet said the switch to a better food was key. Great food!!!!Date published: 2022-05-07Rated 5 out of 5 by jacqbyrd from Great product Our Ruby has numerous allergies and we went through several brands before we found Taste of the Wild. Ruby has never had a reaction and always happily gobbles it down at every meal.Date published: 2018-04-23Rated 5 out of 5 by Erica from My dogs skin is healthier!!! So my dog has now been on this food for about 2 years previous he was on diamond dog food and he seemed to always be so itchy to where he would get bumps and stuff all over. We were not sure if he had a flea allergy or it was food or what so we switched to taste of the wild dog food and after a year he already seemed much better! Now it’s been two years and he has had no problems with his skin and he is not itchy! We still may never know what his allergy was from food environment or what but he suffered for years with it and now he has been good for two years now not one issue!!!! We will never switch from this food!! We also love the fact we buy 10 bags and they give us a free bag of pet food at our pet shop through the company it’s amazing!! This is a great food for your pet they love it and I’m happy it’s grain free and not so expensive like similar brands!Date published: 2020-09-25Rated 5 out of 5 by Rhlowe from Our dogs come running!! Our dogs have been eating Taste of the Wild for years! I’d never feed them anything else.Date published: 2018-04-21Rated 1 out of 5 by Pete from Day 10 of both big dogs sick My 7 year old 130# Newfoundland-girl and 12-1/2 year old 85# Labradoodle-boy had been on TOTW Wetlands (fowl) dry food for 3+ months with NO issues after successfully being on American Natural Premium Duck & Pork grain-free for 6 years - only switched to save $10/30# bag every 2 weeks. Just to give them a less 'rich' diet, I bought a 30# bag of the lower protein & fat levels Sierra Mountain (lamb) early last week. I planned to do a 50/50 old & new TOTW blend for a couple days, even tho switching recipes shouldn't require it. My labradoodle turned his nose at his 1st food dish of the blend last Wednesday, so I enticed him by soaking it in beef broth and he grudgingly ate it. During that night (Wednesday) both dogs vomited in the house (extremely rare for either). I continued to offer the blend over the next few meals as they both went from frequent vomiting to diarrhea, then bloody diarrhea, then explosive diarrhea inside & outside, then both stopped eating altogether...the vomiting ceased but not the diarrhea. They were both miserable and just wanted to lay in the back yard. I offered them boiled ground beef & rice and neither would touch that until Sunday. Sunday I took the 'bad' bag of Sierra Mtn kibble back to the store, explained situation, and they allowed me to exchange for fresh bag of Wetlands. After discussions with our vet, 2 days ago I started adding Wetlands to beef/rice mix & yesterday they were both back on 100% kibble. Newfie finally had a semi-solid stool this AM, but labradoodle vomited foam again last night. Normally both have cast iron stomachs. NEVER have we had anything like this happen. I didn't record the manufacturing info from the bad bag, because the store exchanged it, but they should have it - Pet Supply Outlet of Sheboygan, WI. I plan to have full blood panels done on each dog at next annual, if not before...at $90 each (so much for saving $10/bag). If we have ANY future problems with TOTW, I'll switch away forever and spread the word. This has been an unbelievable 10 days for us...and it isn't over!Date published: 2017-11-17Rated 5 out of 5 by Kathy62 from There is no better dog food on the market My dog has been eating Taste of the Wild since she was 4 months old. Before she joined the family, I had been feeding my son’s dog Taste of the Wild. In the past, if I ran out or tried to switch to a cheaper brand, there was always health issues, digestive and otherwise. Now, I just make sure I don’t run out! They love every recipe Taste of the Wild makes. It keeps them healthy, happy and makes cleaning up after them a breeze. I won’t buy anything else for their dietary needs, Taste of the Wild is the best on the market.Date published: 2023-03-14Rated 5 out of 5 by Monica913 from Best choice of dog food! When we adopted our now 1 year old lab mix, it was important that we not only find a wholesome healthy food for our pup but also one he loved! We purchased 3 bags of different flavors, opened them and let him choose which one he liked more! He immediately stuck his head inside the roasted lamb formula and he’s been hooked ever since!!!Date published: 2018-04-20What is the % of carbohydrates?

I am in need of a food that is low in protein, phosphorus, and magnesium; one that promotes formation of acidic urine. Any suggestions? She can no longer have Sierra.
Good my australian shepherd had that problem and I solved it by giving him filtered water, tablets guisazo caballo with chancapiedras that eliminates all type of crystals and stones and a food like hills grain free, at the moment it is eating taste of the wild roasted lambDate published: 2017-05-05My 2 year old Boxer has been dealing with slightly elevated liver enzymes his whole life. I had him on the High Prairie Dog Food originally but was concerned that the large amount of protein would be tough on his liver. Which food would you recommend?
Hello, Scottie. Since your Boxer has a chronic medical issue, it would be best to discuss diet with your veterinarian. The Sierra Mountain Canine Formula has 25.6% protein on an as-fed basis, quite a bit lower than the High Prairie. Your vet should be able to tell you if this is a good choice based on your dog’s medical history.Date published: 2017-01-31
