Ancient Prairie Canine Recipe with Roasted Bison & Roasted Venison is rated out of 5 by 283.Rated 5 out of 5 by Sandy from Peace of mind for me and a healthy, tasteful food. I started my male Labrador on Taste of the Wild as an eight week old puppy. He was incrediblely anxious to eat his meal even back then. I have continued with the adult “Prairie” blend which he continues to devour. I have researched pet food health benefits for many months now and Taste of the Wild rates very well with most advocate groups, vets, and trainers. Rio is a healthy, strapping 7.5 month old pup. His stools are solid, his coat beautiful, and he is not susceptible to stomach issues. Further, I am retired and this pet food is a good value when stacked up against the other options. In closing, I am very pleased with Taste of the Wild, and will continue to purchase the product!Date published: 2020-01-16Rated 5 out of 5 by Hoss1 from The BEST! I take great care as to what I put in my body and that is no different for my dogs. We live an active, adventurous life so they need the best and Taste of The Wild is the best! That’s all they eat from puppy to elder. I have an 8 month blue heeler, 7 year coonhound and 12 year shepherd mix. I can say the only thing different about the puppy verse the old pup is he just got wiser. Same activity level and I believe that’s a huge part of their diet. Won’t buy anything else.Date published: 2020-10-15Rated 4 out of 5 by kima35 from The ingredients are wonderful! I like that they still include grains, as grain-free dog food is now linked to heart problems in dogs. They use quinoa and other ancient grains that are much better for dogs than just the typical corn meal used in dry dog foods. That being said, my dog didnt enjoy it. The kibble is one color and one flavor. My dog, who is very picky, did not take to the food. He likes variety (and will pick out the flavors he doesnt like) I gave this 4 stars because of the quality of ingredients and because another flavor may resonate with my pup more.Date published: 2019-11-04Rated 5 out of 5 by maureen_l from My 1 year old pup loves this food! I personally like a little healthy grains in his diet. He always finishes his food and has healthy bowl movements. Im a big fan of the brand and their quality ingredientsDate published: 2019-10-08Rated 5 out of 5 by Rubi from Rubi loves her Bison! Our 10 year old Alaskan Malamute Rubi has eaten Taste of the Wild aLK her life. She is a happy, healthy, girl.Date published: 2020-01-31Rated 5 out of 5 by Rachj from Our dog loves this food and he’s healthier Our 1 yr old lab was having issues with loose stools and vomiting. It was getting so bad it was almost daily. We had him on a popular brand but then started researching the ingredients. The fillers used in this food was among the worst for him. We just recently completed the change over to Taste of the Wild and he hasn’t had any issues with vomiting or loose stools since. Plus he absolutely loves it. He used to let his food sit in his dish for hours, now he begs to be fed.Date published: 2020-09-16Rated 5 out of 5 by pcskigal from Pour the kibble into a bowl, blink and it's gone. That was my experience with TOTW. My pup wolfed it down so quickly that I almost forgot I gave it to him. I only received two small sample packs which for a 50lb dog is about one day's worth of dog food so I can't speak to its nutritional value. All I can vouch for is that he loved eating it and didnt get sick.Date published: 2019-11-06Rated 5 out of 5 by honnae from My sister and I both use Taste of the Wild, and let me say, it is amazing! Best dog food for its price point. Every batch is consistent, so no tummy aches after buying a new bag. Their fur is lustrous and no dry skin (even in winter) or bad breath. My puppers are picky; I have to rotate food flavors every few months when they get tired of one flavor. Because Taste of the Wild has so many varieties, I never have to buy another brand. This particular variety is high protein, so keep that in mind when selecting a flavor for your pup.Date published: 2020-01-27What is the source of the dried yeast in TOTW with ancient grains? What is the purpose of this ingredient?
Hello and thanks for reaching out. We add dried yeast (saccharomyces) to this formula as it is a source of protein and B vitamins. Please know, we choose each ingredient with the health and well-being of your pet in mind. If you have any questions about our recipes, please contact us submitting an inquiry at https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/contact-us/.Date published: 2020-05-10Hi what is the calcium and phosphorus % and why is it not listed in the general analysis? Calcium is important in large breed puppies, too much calcium can cause rapid bone growth.
Hello, and thanks for reaching out. Our Ancient Prairie Canine Recipe contains 1.2% calcium and 1.0% phosphorus, both on an as-fed basis. Please know, by AAFCO regulations, the guaranteed analysis is only required to list four nutrients: crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber and moisture, which is why our calcium and phosphorus levels are not listed. If you have any additional questions about our recipes, please feel free to contact us by visiting https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/contact-us.Date published: 2020-12-18I see the Bison and the Venison you use is pasture raised, but is that also true of the Buffalo and pork you use?
Hello and thanks for reaching out! While our buffalo is pasture raised, the pork is not. Please know, our ingredient suppliers are approved through a rigorous process intended to validate commitments to food safety and ingredient quality.

Hello, Jennifer! Taste of the Wild with Ancient Grains is starting to be available in many retail locations and may be available near you in the coming weeks.

Do I have to slowly introduce new bag over time or can I start feeding right out of the bag? currently feeding Prairie Love it
Hello and thanks for reaching out! Many pets enjoy eating more than one Taste of the Wild recipe. To avoid digestive upset, we recommend limiting your rotation to two recipes and gradually mixing foods over 7-10 days. When you transition between recipes, slowly reduce the amount of the old recipe and increase the new recipe.Date published: 2019-12-17Just a clarifying question. I have a Dobe that needs around 2,100 calories a day. Is Each cup of this 422 calories ?
Hello! Yes, Ancient Prairie Canine contains 422 kcal/cup.Date published: 2019-11-19My dog is allergic to the barley grain, can this still be fed?
Hello! This formula contains pearled barley and would not be a suitable option for a dog with a barley allergy. We would love to provide a personalized recipe recommendation to you and your dog.
