Ancient Prairie Canine Recipe with Roasted Bison & Roasted Venison is rated out of 5 by 493.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 Sarah00 from Helped my pups stomach problems My Australian Shepherd is a year and half old and his whole life he has suffered from diarrhea until I switch to taste of the wild ancient grains. As soon as I switch to ancient grains he has been so happy! I prefer ancient grains over the grain free recipe because my vet told us not to go grain free unless there is a real food allergy to grain. I have tried so many different dog foods and this is the only dog food that has helped his stomach issues. I also choose because of the high level of glucosamine for healthy joints, and for the variety of flavors! I can change up to different flavors of the ancient grains and my dog loves getting a new flavor every month!Date published: 2022-04-25Rated 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 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 5 out of 5 by christine n buddy from my big boy i have been using taste of the wild for 18 yrs with 3 of my furry kids ; my 2 that passed were on pacific stream ; my boy now is an american bully n our vet recommended a limited protein because Buddy is allergic to many proteins;we tried the ancient grains roasted venison n roasted bison n boom it was an instant hit with him n with mommy here too seeing as no allergys flared up what so ever ; he has now been on it for 4 yrs n we r very pleased n will always use taste of the wild food ; the price is very responsable n the quality is great ; tu so much for such a wonderful product that we fully trust n will recommned to family n friends ;Date published: 2022-04-25Rated 5 out of 5 by Bputz23 from Our French Bulldog puppies love this !

Every since we started using Taste of The Wild Venison & Bison all of our puppies have loved it, plus we know we are starting there healthy lives off on the right pawsDate published: 2022-04-26Rated 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 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: 2019-11-04I was all excited until I saw the added chicken that so many dogs are allergic too. Also Pork was your 2nd ingredient, and no mention of it on the label. Does it come in small bites?
Hello! There are a variety of high-quality proteins in our Ancient Prairie Canine Recipe, and we wanted to highlight roasted bison and roasted venison as unique, complementary flavors and sources of highly digestible protein. We also add pork as an additional source of protein as well as essential vitamins and minerals. All ingredients in our recipes are listed in descending order by weight, and all our recipes are compliant with AAFCO labeling requirements. If you’re looking for a recipe that doesn’t contain chicken as an ingredient, we recommend considering Ancient Mountain Canine or Ancient Stream Canine. Additionally, the kibbles in all TOTW with Ancient Grains recipes are a flat, round disc shape and approximately the diameter of a dime.

Hello! The kibbles in all TOTW with Ancient Grains recipes are a flat, round disc shape and approximately the diameter of a dime. Please know, our kibbles are created with dogs of all sizes in mind. We offer a few smaller kibble options from our TOTW line. Pacific Stream Puppy, High Prairie Puppy and Appalachian Valley Canine all have smaller kibbles. Both puppy recipes are for all life stages, meaning they were formulated to meet the nutritional requirements for dogs of all ages and sizes. Appalachian Valley Canine is formulated specifically for small breeds. It is a more energy-dense recipe with higher protein and fat ratios, giving adult dogs the nutrition they need in smaller portions. The kibble in these recipes are barrel shaped and about the size of a pencil eraser.

We are getting a very large quantity of feces on a daily portion of 1 cup. Goes on all day. Puppy is 6 lbs happy and active. Are we feeding her too much?
Hello, and thanks for reaching out! Because young growing puppies have such high caloric intakes, they normally have multiple stools a day (3-4). If your puppy is growing at the appropriate rate, is in good body condition, has a healthy hair coat and her stools are normal consistency, there is no reason for concern. However, if she is having large, soft or runny stools, we recommend consulting with your veterinarian. Please know, our feeding guides provide a recommendation and can be adjusted based on activity level and body condition. We recommend working with your veterinarian to determine the best amount for your puppy. Additionally, it is possible that something in the recipe is just not working well for your Corgi puppy. So we can learn more and provide a personalized recipe recommendation, can you contact us by visiting https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/#contact-us?Date published: 2020-08-19why doesn't the food come in larger size bags, at a reasonable price?
