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: 2018-04-20How does Sierra Mountain Canine recipe compare to the High Prairie Puppy formula? My dog will weight about 60 lbs at adulthood. No sure which to feed as a puppy.
Hi, Robbie! We’re thrilled you’re considering feeding Taste of the Wild to your pup. Our Sierra Mountain recipe is a lamb based formula, while High Prairie Puppy contains a blend of proteins including bison, venison, and lamb. In addition, our Sierra Mountain Canine recipe is our lowest calorie recipe, containing less fat, protein, and calories than our High Prairie Puppy recipe. Both Sierra Mountain and High Prairie Puppy are All Life Stages recipes, meaning they're formulated to meet the needs of dogs of all ages, including large breed dogs, and can be fed to your pup indefinitely. Given that, either recipe would be an excellent choice for your pup!

I recently started feeding my 95 lb labradoodle the Sierra Mountain dry food and he loves it. However, he is highly allergic to chicken and seemed to react negatively to scrambled eggs. Can the egg product cause problems eventually? Thank you.
Hello, if a dog is allergic to chicken, it does not necessarily mean they are also allergic to eggs. However, it is possible that your dog is allergic to both chicken and eggs (including egg product). If you are interested in a formula that does not contain chicken or eggs, our Pacific Stream Canine Formula is an excellent choice. If you have further questions regarding food allergies, please feel free to contact our product specialists at 1-800-342-4808 or https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/#contact-us.Date published: 2018-08-07What is the phosphorus %

Hello, Wanda! We use dried egg product as a quality source of protein for many of our foods. The product is made from whole eggs with the shells removed. It provides a highly digestible protein source with all of the essential amino acids that dogs need.

The Spectrum report listed this food to be good for food allergies. Does Seirra mountain contain wheat, eggs and milk? Just making sure, I didn't see it on the ingredients list.
Hi Daphnegettler, thank you for considering Taste of the Wild. Sierra Mountain does contain egg product as one of the protein sources. We would recommend speaking with one of our Product Specialists to find the best formula for your dog. You can reach us at 1-800-342-4808.Date published: 2017-01-06how much % lamb has this formula?

Also why no glucosamine added?
Hi, Mary. Our Sierra Mountain formula has the lowest protein and fat content of our diets. It was formulated with giant breed puppies in mind and meets all of their nutritional requirements.
