Rated 5 out of 5 by from My bassets dance twice a day for Southwest Canyon. Darlene LOVES her Southwest Canyon. When choosing a food for her, my first acquired basset hound, six years ago, I wanted to give her quality food that was grain free. I researched for days and this is where we ended because of the ingredients and nutrition packed in the bag. I do add fresh berries and veg to keep it interesting because I am a spoiler, but the good thing about TOTW foods is that I don't have to worry about their nutrition if I don't have time to chop some spinach or banana for my sweet hounds. They literally dance a jig when it is dinner time. Thanks, guys! Also -- LOOK AT HER SILKY COAT and watch the video of her dance routine she does for a bowl of TOTW!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Happy Doggy!! Happy Mommy!! I have three Shih Tzus. Two are very healthy but one has food allergies and is an incredibly picky eater. After four years of vet assistance trying to find something that wouldn't cause my dog to vomit or break out in a rash, they recommended Taste of the Wild. We tried multiple flavors but it was the Wild Boar that my boy got excited about! He literally does a little happy dance when I fix his breakfast every morning. He's a super picky eater and wont touch the other flavors but he loves Wild Boar! We've been using Taste of the Wild for over three years now and very rarely have an allergy incident (young guests sometimes sneak him table food). This is a wonderful product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My dog's top favorite brand and flavor Jago started out with the boar as a 1 year old and has loooved it ever since. I have gotten him other flavors and he looks at it and grunts and so I have to give whatever flavor I purchased him to the other animals in my house to eat anything and get him the boar. He loves this one along with the fowl these are the only two he will eat he will not eat any other flavor he's the most pickiest German Shepherd Of My Life whatever makes him happy I guess I recommend this brand and this flavor 10 out of 10 to anyone who has a very picky animal it's very easy on their stomach helps bowl movements definitely keep the energy up and helps him sleep at night. It's pretty pricey but honestly I just want the best for my pup

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Hound-approved! My 2 Dachshunds are fairly easy to please, but my 2 greyhounds tend to be selective. I usually rotate food and flavors, just to keep the big guys happy. Looks like Southwest Canyon will be rotated in frequently since they all approved! Both greyhound seemed to really enjoy this new flavor and showed me empty bowls to prove it. It's not to heavy on calories, which is great for the doxies; and it's strong on protein, which is better for the greyhounds.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No more skin issues Our first dog Trixie started getting a skin condition where she had little patches throughout that were very itchy. We took her to the vet, they gave her a cortisone shot. We did some research & found that dog food with grains in it can possibly cause allergic reactions, chicken as well. So we tried Taste of the Wild. Within a week, her skin improved. We feed this brand to our current dog, she has not had any issues at all. This dog food is amazing! I will not use any other brand!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Our 3 dogs wouldn’t have anything else We have been feeding our 3 large dogs Taste of the Wild for over 6 Years. We have tried other grain free dog foods but Taste of the Wild is the only one that stays fresh until the end, we have never found mold and the food always smells fresh, not stinky. We also love the compassionate price points that keep Taste of the Wild much more affordable than other grain free dog foods.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super healthy 9 year old My boy Jack is a super healthy 9 year old mix. I have had him since he was about 6 months old. Taste of the Wild has been his only kibble. I can depend on all Taste of the Wild.products to give him the nutrition he needs. Still at 9, he roams our rural neighborhood all day some days and sometimes chases deer at night. His favorite thing to do is run I think. Thank you for the time and consideration you put in your products. We are now a family of two dogs. Suki, an 8 month old 70 pound German shepherd who is also excelling on Taste of the Wild products, is our newest addition.

Why don't you indicate how much meat is included? 

Asked by: celina
Hi, Celina -- Ingredients in our foods are listed in descending order by weight. We don’t provide additional detail because our recipes are proprietary information.

Did the kibble recently become a bit smaller? And did the formula change slightly as it smells different then the last bag. Thanks!

Asked by: Mr E
Mr. E, kibble size can vary because of the natural variation in ingredients and the cooking process. We don’t add any chemicals or dyes to Taste of the Wild foods, so the natural odors of the ingredients often carry through to the finished product. This doesn’t affect the nutritional value of the food.

Do any of the ingredients come from China?

Asked by: Natalia
Natalia, most of the ingredients in Taste of the Wild originate in the U.S. There are critical ingredients, however, that are not available domestically in an adequate supply or with as much quality as our international supply. These ingredients are critical to our formulations (i.e. folic acid and taurine) and can only be sourced out of China. We believe omitting these ingredients would not be in the best interest of your pet.

At what age do you suggest making the move from puppy food to adult?  What line is good for all ages?

Asked by: Cheryl
Hi, Cheryl. As a general guide, we recommend feeding an “all life stages” formula (meaning it meets the nutritional needs for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors) for the first 10-12 months of life. For large or giant breeds, we recommend feeding an all life stages formula until 12-18 months of age. Upon reaching these ages, a puppy can transition to an adult formula or continue on the all life stages formula. Our Southwest Canyon Canine Formula is an all life stages formula and contains nutrient-rich legumes and fruits in addition to DHA, which aids in brain and vision development in puppies. Several Taste of the Wild formulas are approved for all life stages. For specific formula recommendations, please feel free to contact our product specialists at 1-800-342-4808 or https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/#contact-us.
