Sierra Mountain Canine Recipe with Roasted Lamb is rated out of 5 by 155.Rated 5 out of 5 by Lor1 from Our dog loves it We recently got a Shih Tzu who is about a year old. The food the people we got him from gave us with him was making him sick so I ran down to my local Bosley's and bought him this. I switched him right away as I figured he couldn't feel much worse then he already was and within a few days he was doing much better. He no longer has gas or tummy issues. His coat is also better and he has put on some weight over the last few weeks which is excellent as he was rather thin when we got him. He also appeared to have a skin condition when we got him which has also cleared up so I figure it was also caused by his previous diet.Date published: 2017-03-14Rated 5 out of 5 by SamIam from Exceptional grain free food for your dog! Soon after adopting our almost 2-year-old black lab German shorthair dog Gunner, we realized he needed to be on a grain free diet. After and extensive inquiry, Taste of the Wild Sierra Mountain Canine Formula with Roasted Lamb - Grain Free food was the most idealistic choice. Not only were the ingredients what we were looking for for his healthy lifestyle but it was grain free as well. This dog food would provide him for what he needed for great overall health as well as being one of the best values for its price. Five years later, Gunner continues to thrive on this product of lamb, vegetable & fruits and antioxidants that have made him strong and healthy. Thank you Taste of the Wild!!Date published: 2018-04-21Rated 1 out of 5 by Jamie from Something Changed I also agree with the other review "From Hero to Zero". We have LOVED this food since we switched a couple years ago & now since we got our last bag our dog has once again broken out in hives, itchy skin rashes, upset stomach, not eating regularly, trouble going to the bathroom & some unexplained vomiting episodes....all the same problems we had BEFORE we switched TO this food. Unfortunately, since I have seen this exact same thing happening to many others I have to think it is something in the formula.......please consider taking a look at these problems & test the food. Something has gone awry...Date published: 2017-09-15Rated 5 out of 5 by Kelly2451 from My dogs thrive on this! We have been feeding TOW for at least 10 years, to 4 of our personal dogs and 10 or so fosters. I've worked in pet food sales and nutrition for years and always recommend TOW to my friends and customers for the quality food and reasonable price point (no, I did not receive kickbacks, I just LOVE the food!) They were getting the High Prairie, but the protein percentage in Sierra Mountain fit them better (no longer puppies, but still very active), and I mix it with the Pacific Stream for that salmon-y goodness. Taste Of The Wild has kept my dogs, cats, and every foster animal (a dozen or so dogs and hundreds of cats) healthy and active!Date published: 2018-04-22Rated 5 out of 5 by Luvmylab from Simply the best! I have a food sensitive Labrador and have struggled to find a food for her that doesn’t make her itchy or cause gastric issues. My search is over now! Not only does Taste of the Wild eliminate her skin and tummy issues, but she also thinks it tastes great. She’s overly excited about meal times now that I’ve made the switch. I loved her shiny coat so much that I’ve now switched my cat over to TOTW too.Date published: 2018-04-21Rated 5 out of 5 by Sava339408 from My dog eats better than me It all started when she was a baby. We bought her blue seal food. We thought we were doing good for her. I may have tried one other food but no matter what she ate, she always got sick. I have no idea where we got the idea to try grain free but we found taste of the wild at Paris farmers union and decided to give it a go! Needless to say, we've never looked back and no more upset belly!! She even gets excited when her package comes from chewy.com. She can smell right through all of that packaging. Thank you so much for making such an awesome food for my steel gut/not so steel gut lab!!Date published: 2018-04-20Rated 5 out of 5 by asia417 from My Husky's Love this food! I have been feeding the Taste of the Wild for almost 4 yrs. I go back and forth with the flavors..... I have had great results! My dogs love this food!Date published: 2018-04-23Rated 5 out of 5 by jamesnnb from Never a kibble left in the bowl.... I've been feeding my 8-1/2 year old German Shepherd Dog since it was recommended by her breeder. She loves it and looks forward to both her breakfast and dinner -- never leaving a single kibble in her bowl. I have great confidence in the product and have always found the quality to be exceptional.Date published: 2018-04-20I have a Dalmatian and need a food low in purines. Do you happen to know the level of purines in the Sierra Mountain with Roasted Duck and if it is suitable for Dalmatians to keep the chance of stones forming low?
Hello, thanks for contacting us. Purines are not generally measured in dog foods, as they are not considered “essential.” We do not formulate any diets considered low in purines. We recommend consulting your veterinarian to determine the best diet for your pet based on their needs.Date published: 2021-10-27I have an 8 year old Doberman mix that has diabetes. Have been feeding Sierra Mountain Canine. Wondering about the sugar content and any suggestions.
Hi, Jerry. The carbohydrate content of Sierra Mountain is 40.2% as fed. We do not formulate any prescription diets for the treatment or management of diabetes. There is no one diet that is ideal for all diabetic pets. Please consult with your veterinarian to develop the best feeding plan for your dog’s specific needs.Date published: 2017-02-14Is there enough Taurine in the food for dogs as many veterinarians are stressing the need for it in dogs diet to prevent heart problems?
Hi, Carol and thanks for reaching out. All Taste of the Wild recipes are supplemented with taurine. Our dry recipes contain 0.12% taurine as-fed, while our canned recipes contain 0.05% taurine as-fed.

I have an 8 year old boxer/pit & recently rescued a 12 year old boxer/pit who has pretty bad arthritis. Is it ok to switch the 12 year old to this food?
Hi, Kaitlyn. We recommend you talk to your veterinarian, however, Sierra Mountain Formula would be a good option for a less active dog.Date published: 2017-01-20When did you start using salmon oil in the Sierra Mountain Canine?
Hi, Bert. We added salmon oil beginning in January of 2016 in order to meet updated AAFCO guidelines for all life stages diets. In dogs, salmon oil does not typically trigger an allergic reaction since the oil does not contain actual fish protein. If you are looking for a formula without fish or salmon oil, our High Prairie formula may be a good option as maintenance diet.Date published: 2017-01-31DOES TASTE OF THE WILD MAKE AN ONLY ADULT BRAND OF FOOD?

My dog is allergic to chicken and I want to make sure it is not an ingredient. Thanks!
Hi Linda. The natural flavor in all of our recipes is derived from hydrolyzed chicken. This means that the protein is broken down into small particles that are not recognized by the immune system in a pet with food allergies, but still adds extra flavor for your pet.Date published: 2017-02-12Our vet recommended that we feed our 7 year old Weimaraner a senior dry dog food because of his kidneys. He does not have kidney problems. We have been using Taste of the Wild Roasted Lamb for about 5 years. Which food do you recommend? Thanks
Sierra Mountain is a great choice for senior dogs, but would not be considered a senior diet, nor a diet for dogs with kidney disease. To best help you choose a formula, we would recommend calling one of our product specialists or speaking with our on-staff veterinarian so that we can fully understand your dog’s needs. 1-800-342-4808Date published: 2017-01-19I have an Australian Shepherd and she is 8 years. Weighs 75 lbs. (ideal wt. 50), dog food calculator said to feed her .20 cup per day. How much is that for your Sherri Mountain, roasted lamb? I want her to lose weight, what do you suggest, I need help
Hello, thanks for your question. Our recommended feeding guidelines suggest that a 50 pound adult dog would need approximately 3 cups per day of our Sierra Mountain formula. Whether or not she will lose weight on this amount depends on the total reduction in calories from the previous diet. Since she needs to lose such a large percentage of her body weight, we recommend consulting with your veterinarian to discuss the most appropriate weight loss program.Date published: 2016-12-09My Beagle is overweight and inactive. She is 5 and half years old. What food do you suggest and what portion? I am giving her a half cup in the morning and another half in the afternoon. I am using your products now. Thamks
Hello RDC...First of all, have you had your dog's thyroid tested? That's Step 1...make sure there's not a medical reason for her weight. Once you know she's physically fine, you need to cut her calories...just like us humans. Weigh your dog. Find out how many calories your dog is eating and cut the amount by 20%. Weigh again in a month. As long at your dog is losing weight, continue to feed that amount of food. If she stops losing weight and is still too heavy, cut her food back an additional 10%. Once she is at her optimum weight you may need to increase her food amount *slightly* to maintain it. Weighing her monthly is the key. Good luck!Date published: 2017-02-28I would like to know the total cost of 30lbs. of the Sierra Mountain Canine Roasted dog food from your place to mine?

Hello, and thanks for reaching out! Recurring yeast infections typically have an underlying cause such as allergies or immune compromise.
