Rated 5 out of5 byHeather fromMy 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 of5 byAngela fromHappy 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 of5 byAnonymous fromMy dog's top favorite brand and flavorJago 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 of5 byGreyhound Hotel fromHound-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 of5 byRJBharris fromNo more skin issuesOur 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 of5 byShotgunrider_ fromOur 3 dogs wouldn’t have anything elseWe 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 of5 byJackandsuki fromSuper healthy 9 year oldMy 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.

Is there a temperature storage guideline? I am concerned about delivery left outside during summer. Thanks.
Asked by: tuphat
Hello, thanks for contacting us. The food should be kept in a cool, dry location as excess heat or moisture may cause the nutrients to break down. Leaving the sealed bag out for short periods of time, such as in a delivery, should not affect the food.

What formula should I use for an overweight retriever?
Asked by: Marie
Hi, Marie. We do not have any formulas specifically designed for weight loss. Our lowest calorie and fat formula is Sierra Mountain Canine, which contains 15% fat and 338 kcal/cup. You will likely need to feed about 10-20% less than the amounts listed in the feeding guide for each formula. We recommend consulting with your veterinarian to help determine your dog’s nutritional needs

I have a 2 1/2 year old German Shepherd and he is very active. Which dry food would be best for him to promote joint and bone health? Is there one choice (flavor) with Glucosamine and Chondroitin?
Asked by: jimmy88
Hello and thanks for reaching out! We do not add glucosamine or chondroitin to any Taste of the Wild recipes. Some of our recipes may include naturally occurring glucosamine and chondroitin due to the ingredients in that recipe, however the levels are not measured. We have several recipes that would be an excellent option for your German Shepherd. For a personalized recipe recommendation, please contact us by visiting https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/contact-us/.
