Rated 2 out of 5 by from Disappointed Received my dog with moth larvae in my dogs food I'm getting refund from petco but this is disappointing and very inconvenient when you have to throw out 28lbs dog food and borrow dog food from in laws until you can get to store to buy again

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My 2 absolutely devoured this My 2 large breed dogs absolutely devoured this food and wanted more. I bought it because I take their health very seriously and want a dog food that does as well. I have been on a mission to find the best quality food that my dogs enjoy also. I love the ingredients and flavor options of this brand. I truly believe it is super important to feed them as healthy ingredients as I can find for them as they are my family. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to upgrade their pets food.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Our dogs love meal time! I have two dogs both large breeds, that's why I feed the ancient grains recipe, because it has a higher protein percentage than most foods. As well as having wholesome grains I can trust to give my dogs, and watch them thrive.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My dog is super picky with an incredibly finicky tummy. We can usually only get her to eat salmon based foods but she gobbled this up like it was the greatest thing shed ever tasted, and better yet it didnt upset her stomach!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from I recently got this product through my vox box and I couldn't be more happy with the product. I gave it to my dog slowly and it looked like he loved it! Cleaned his dish each time. I loved having the information on how to feed the new food to him too. Very helpful for people who are not familiar with how their pet has to have new food slowly introduced. I really loved how he got a new taste for bison now, so that was super interesting to introduce to his diet since bison is a bit more leaner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My dog loves TOTW I feed TOTW Ancient grains. I switch between the different flavors such as prairie, stream, etc. to give him a variety, so he doesn't get burned out on one flavor. I also give him a little topper of the canned in those flavors as a little boost. Especially when he has to go to doggie kennel when we are out of town and can't take him with us. I had problems when we would leave him at the kennel, he would not eat.. but the canned was a life saver for us and it gets his appetite going.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I have finally found the 1 I have a 2 yr old female German Shepherd & Belgian Malinois Mix and she is very picky with food. The first year I went through 4 different dry dog food companies and 6 different flavors and she didn’t eat anything until I tried Taste of the Wild (High Prairie) and she loved it. She stays at a perfect weight since she is a German Shepherd & Belgian Malinois Mix she has crazy energy so this food definitely Controls her weight and her coat is even beautiful. Thanks Taste of the Wild 👍👍

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Its good dog food, my dog ate it all and seemed to be really enjoying it. He is a picky eater and wont eat food if he doesnt like it or like his last food better (dramatic I know). However I am taking a star off for two reasons, the first being the whole ancient grain thing feels gimmicky and the higher price doesnt feel worthy of it. If your dog loves it, then go for it but otherwise I would stick to the fried and true. I received this product for free from Influenster to try.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Both my dogs have gone nuts over this food. We have trouble with our boy because hes incredibly picky and doesnt always finish his meals, but Im happy to report he has no problem finishing every last bite of this food (huge plus in my book). I will say, this is pricy, but you are paying for cleaner ingredients compared to most kibbles on the market and lets be real ... this is a member(s) of your family; They deserve the best too! They have several flavors to choose from and I have a feeling even the pickiest of dogs wont have a problem finding a flavor they love. I do also want to make note that safety of foods is huge - they have had one recall (in 2012) due to possible salmonella contamination, but nothing before or after that report that i found. I took off one star because I do wish they sold a larger size bag; The largest size bag (28 lbs) is a little smaller than majority of other brands on the market and with a higher price tag for less product. Overall, this food is a win in my opinion and i feel good about feeding this to my two four legged family members. I received this product complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Four stars because my dogs loved this (but honestly they love anything). Ingredients are okay, better than products like beneful or kibbles n bits; but I wouldnt go out of my way to buy this. As a vet tech I personally believe in dog foods that have SCIENCE BACK ingredients. Im not one of these people who anthropomorphize my pet care and pet food. I just havent seen enough science or research behind taste of the wilds dog foods to really push me to consider the brand.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My boy loved this food!! One big perk of this food is the smell and odor is not overwhelming like several other foods I have used with my fur baby. Also, my dog did not seem to have any tummy troubles while trying this food out. I also read all the nutrition facts on the food and it had pretty good ingredients. Packaging of the food was great. I would recommend this product to others. I received this product complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Totally different from other dog food Everytime I offer my dogs this brand, it never disappoints. They almost always show interest in it and if they tired of the same flavor, I know I can always switch the flavor staying with the same brand. I even sometimes place kibble in the Starmark treat bobble making them think it is a treat and they still love it that way too. Great product! Can’t wait to try out more! Highly recommend!! And I will be recommending it to my training clients, as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I trust it and my dogs love it! I’ve raised two seven y.o. Standard Poodles and two Border Collies on Taste of the Wild their whole life, they are all fit and healthy, active and intelligent with not a single health condition. My dogs have also never had any GI issues transitioning from one flavor to the next with this brand. I also raised a litter of seven pups on the puppy high prairie and they were the greatest little pack ever not a single GI issue whatsoever. Awesome brand.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Saved my dog I’ve been feeding my dogs taste of the wild for about a year now. I noticed one of my dogs was allergic to rice and had to find a food that did not contain rice in it. I found taste of the wild and have been feeding it to my dogs ever since. They love it and I have noticed a change in my dog that is allergic to rice. If it wasn’t for your food I don’t know what I would be doing for her. It’s not easy to find food without rice. So thank you guys.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My dog loves Ancient Prairie Canine My dog has been eating Ancient Prairie Canine for about 2 years. He was eating Wild Prairie prior to switching. He likes it. His fur is shiny and skin is healthy. His groomer has made comments about him not having dry skin flakes after being groomed which many other dogs have. It wasn't like this before I started feeding him Taste of Wild. I think it is a great food and helps him stay healthy. I am very pleased with all Taste of Wild products.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Luna Digs this stuff! My Luna is a very active 4 year old, 52 lbs super pup. We regularly roam the mountains and canyons of our beloved backyard. Since switching to this food about 7 months ago, I have noticed a positive change in her. With appropriate amount of food, she is not as hungry as with other brands, and her stool is regular and 'clean'. This food compliments her active lifestyle. The ingredients minimize the fillers and provide excellent nutrition.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love that it has simple ingredients, that are natural for my pup. Plus, he seemed to really enjoy it. I will say he had a little upset tummy after trying it the first time, but that happens anytime you switch dog foods. On the second feeding however, he had no bad reactions to the food. We didnt receive a large enough sample to really tell any signs/benefits of the food. But I can say for sure that he loved every bite while it lasted!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from I have two large breed spoiled babies. I fed one of the sample bags to each of my dogs. One of my dogs, a Doberman, is a picky eater and he started to eat his food but didnt finish it. I also noticed that the food didnt sit well with his stomach. My other dog had no issues with this dog food. Because I wont be buying two different kinds of dog food, its a no-go from me. What a shame, I was hoping this would work out based on the formula!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Puppy Loves It! My last dog had a chicken allergy and was on the Sierra Mountain grain-free recipe. He loved it! i now have a new puppy and wanted to keep him on a grain inclusive diet since he has no issue with them, and the rising concern about grain free diets. I was super excited to see the Ancient Grains line come out when I was picking up puppy essentials. He loves it! Always excited for his food, eats it right up, and healthy poops so it's a win!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Our dogs never get tired of Taste of the Wild! Our dogs have eaten Taste of the Wild Ancient Prairie with Roasted Bison, Roasted Venison and Ancient Grains Dry dog food for years. We trust the quality of the food and the ingredients. Our dogs are so important to us and we care about what we feed them. They are always happy at feeding time and never seem to get tired of the taste. It must really be tasty because every dog that visits our house tries to steal from their food bowl!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I received this complimentary sample for reviewing purposes from Influenster. My two goldendoodles seemed to love this dog food. When I filled their bowls, they both gobbled it up immediately. They obviously loved the taste, and it didnt seem to upset their stomachs, as sometimes trying new dog food can do. The ingredients looked great, and the dogs loved it, so I would definitely consider purchasing a bag in the near future.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My huskies love their TOTW!! We been feeding Taste of the Wild because my male husky gets bored with food. I love they have many different flavors varieties. When we notice he getting bored we switch up the flavors and he goes back to eating happily. My female husky just loves Taste of the Wild. She eats every bit, no complains. Now that they are 11 going on 12 we been mixing half of the wet can in their dry food at dinner. We love being in the TOTW pack!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ive been purchasing solely Taste of the Wild food for my dog since he was a puppy. We tried so many sampler bags at first but this was the only brand he enjoyed. Hes super picky with food and is not interested in most treats but he SCARFED this flavor down! I received this product free for reviewing purposes and my dog instantly went crazy over the package before I even opened it. This will definitely be our new go to flavor!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 4 out of 4 Huskies Approve! We have four rescued huskies that were all malnourished at the different points of adopting them. Taste of the Wild has been instrumental in them gaining weight and living the rest of their lives in a healthy way. Our huskies are very picky about flavors and we have been able to give them quite a variety with Taste of the Wild. It was also recommended to us by our vet who we trust wholeheartedly with our dogs' health.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The only dog food my dog has ever consumed! When our goldendoodle Loki was weaned from his mother's milk, the breeder fed the litter TOTW puppy mix. When he matured, he switched to the adult formula, specifically the Ancient Prairie Canine Recipe mix. He is now 5 1/2 years old and has never had anything aside from his mother's milk but TOTW. He loves it and if he is not quick to eat, his two cat companions climb up on his bowl holder and attempt to help him.

Hi 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. 

Asked by: Bethany
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.

Asked by: Mom to 4

Our PREY formulas can be great options for pets with sensitivities due to their limited ingredients. Each formula contains no more than four key ingredients (one animal protein source, sunflower oil, tomato pomace and lentils). We also recommend consulting with your veterinarian to determine the best diet for your dogs, based on their needs.

My goldendoodle is highly allergic to poultry, fish, diary and peanut butter. I currently have him on the ancient grain venison and bison. However I see it has chicken meal and chicken fat. Do you have any product that does NOT contain chicken products?

Asked by: Beans
Hello, thanks for contacting us. Our Ancient Mountain Canine Recipe does not contain chicken as a main protein source. It does include a natural flavor derived from chicken. The natural flavor is added in an amount that is not likely to trigger allergies in pets.
