Ancient Mountain Canine Recipe with Roasted Lamb is rated out of 5 by 299.Rated 5 out of 5 by elllllllimak from My dog is one of the pickiest eaters. And once we find something he likes if we feed it to him too often he gets burnt out and refuses to eat it. He also has to smell all his food for a good 20-30 seconds before eating it, to make sure he wants it. I was shocked when I gave him these crunchies! First off, he gave them a quick sniff, not as prolonged as usual. Then he immediately gobbled it up! And everyday I have him a little of the crunchies until there was no more, and not once did sniff it or pass it down. With no hesitation he gobbled them up everytime, which is very rare for him! I think these might be a keeper!Date published: 2019-11-11Rated 4 out of 5 by krshb from I received this product to test in exchange for my honest review. While I am not a dog and cannot speak for my pets, I would give this product good marks for the ingredients it offers !! This recipe includes ancient grains like quinoa and chia which is a nice alternative to corn based dog foods. I have a teacup poodle who is 11 and a 6 year old Japanese spitz. Id say this is a great size for small/medium pets but Id keep in mind your dogs age - my Japanese spitz (who in retrospect eats anything) had no problem with eating her share but my teacup poodle didnt really show any interest. Maybe due to how hard it is as well.Date published: 2019-10-30Rated 5 out of 5 by The Millers from What a difference!! My dogs have been on a chicken based diet for their entire lives - and then developed an allergy. Gas has always been an issue with one of them too. We switched to taste of the wild ancient mountain and its crazy the difference. The gas issues are GONE. Our wire hair guy is significantly softer and the other one is teddy bear soft. They have almost no smell to them, the allergy and discolor has completely cleared up. And they love it!! They are 6.5 years old and just as energetic as they were at 6 months. It's great to see them thriving.Date published: 2021-04-25Rated 5 out of 5 by tasiak from We have two German Shepherds (well, one May be part Maligator, but anyways...) and they love trying new food. One is a senior/geriatric dog and the other is under 2, so they both need the best nutrition they can get. I tested the Taste of the Wild food on them separately and well, they both loved it! To them, it was a treat. Usually you have to entice them to eat dry food, but not with Taste of the Wild! And I like that its made with quality ingredients, so I know theyre getting the nutrients they need!Date published: 2019-11-30Rated 4 out of 5 by arty from I gotta say I was a little confused on how I could personally review a dog food. I was giving it to my 4 dogs in handfuls as a treat and they seemed to enjoy it, then again, theyll eat literally anything lol... But there were some positives from this, I have one dog that has food sensitivities and he had started to throw up the food he had been eating, almost nightly. I swapped to a different food and he seems to be better but I have run out... this food was all that I felt comfortable with feeding him and it came in clutch. He seems to be able to handle it pretty well, no vomiting so I might end up getting a bag for him. Kibble size seems fine, he gobbles it all right up and seems to enjoy it. :) thanks Influenster for providing my doggo with a nice dinner!Date published: 2019-11-12Rated 5 out of 5 by kelliewec23 from My dogs used to eat the original formula of this brand and loved it. To be honest Im not sure why we stopped using it. I would highly recommend this dog food. We have two dogs of completely different breeds (one lab pitbull mix and one total mutt) so finding a food that suits large and small breeds can be challenging. Not to mention my small dog is a picky eater. I received this product and was excited to give it to them. They both gobbled it down and had no adverse reactions after. Ill have to buy a full size bag of this once we run out of our other dog food!Date published: 2019-11-04Rated 5 out of 5 by katypugz from Amazing Since using taste of the wild ancient mountain canine recipe roasted lamb I've notice my dog's coat has become so much soft and he has had more energy. He has been able to really play more and enjoy time with the family. I have been completely impressed with the noticeable difference and really can't say enough positive things about taste of the wild. I have recommended so many times and will continue to recommend because the quality is amazing and the fact that it's made with the best quality ingredients that I can feel confident about giving my best friendDate published: 2020-03-26Rated 5 out of 5 by Berk from My dog loves his food and is so excited to eat !

Hello, Barbara and thank you for reaching out to us directly. Please know our Ancient Mountain Canine Recipe with Roasted Lamb is not grain-free as it includes ancient grains, such as grain sorghum, millet, quinoa and chia seed, which are naturally high in fiber and rich in protein. In addition to our grain-inclusive lamb recipe, we offer a grain-free lamb recipe, called Sierra Mountain Canine Recipe. It's important to note, that to date, the FDA still has not found any science-based causes to link grain-free diets — including Taste of the Wild — to DCM. As they note, it is a complex issue with numerous factors to consider, such as breeds that have a genetic predisposition for developing DCM. We continue to monitor this issue closely and support ongoing research efforts, because our top priority is, and always will be, to provide pets with quality, safe food that meets all federal and state regulatory guidelines.
