Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing results for my cat This food has changed my cat's health in just one week. Her digestive issues are nearly gone and her coat is softer and smoother than it's been in ages. I found this wonderful food at a local store and my instincts said to try grain free for my cat's health issues. I will recommend this product to everyone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My animals thrive on this food I started feeding taste of the wild when I got my first dog. She was a pit bull and was trained to be a service dog. This food was recommended and when taking her to the dog park and stores, I was always asked what I fed her as she had a great coat and was in excellent shape. I also had three cats and a ferret. All were fed the feline formula, including my ferret. My ferret lived to be ten years old, which is a long life and the vet always said she lived that long due to eating taste of the wild. She would not eat ferret food and I don't blame her. This brand is the best.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My cats are no longer throwing up! I recently switched to Taste of the Wild from another big named brand dour letters first one H..all the sudden one of my cats began throwing g up every time he ate. Wet or dry. I decided to try this brand in the Canyon River Formula in dry and wet food. Instant success! They love it and no more vomiting! I love how the canned food is in chunks so they don’t stick their feet in it to scoop it out. Very happy I decided to try this brand!! And the kitties are happy too!!

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Not right for my cat About a year ago I had switched from Iams to Taste of the Wild because he was coughing up so many hairballs. And it did the trick. No more hairballs and he seemed healthy. However, after about 9 months, he was less active and he was so skinny that you could feel his bones and people who came to the house were always commenting on how skinny he was. It was recommended from the vet that i switch to a lower protein food for health reasons, so I switched from Taste of the Wild about 2 months ago. Within those 2 months, he's running around the house again, climbing the walls again, and I cannot feel his bones like before. So it did help stop the hairballs, but I personally won't be buying this food again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quality ingredients I understand! I looked for a long time for a good quality food to feed my two senior cats, and finally found that in Taste of the Wild. My kitties love them, and their bright eyes and shiny fur tell me that they are getting the best nutrition possible. They are also more sated, so a bag lasts a lot longer than other brands I've fed them. The cats love the taste as well!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Spring in his step! I recently came into possession of a 11 year old cat who had grown up on big brand cat foods and lazed around the house all day. Just before he came to live with me, I asked my friend who works where I bought the food what kind of foods she recommended. She was adamant this was the right brand for me and my cat definitely agrees! He has a lot of energy now and will come running if I shake his food bowl like it's treats!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cat with allergies, so far so good.. I have a 2 year old Maine coon with vomiting and diarrhea issues. Labs came back normal. We know he has some form of allergies due to having crusty eyes and nose all the time. He would have to go in be put on antibiotics get pumped with fluids only to have it occur again. We decided to change his protein source. He was previously eating chicken. A previous brand I tried none of the cats would touch it. This they took to right away. Another brand was $30 for 5 lbs and a prescription food at the vets office was $60. Thank you for making this a more affordable option!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My cat appreciates the change! Do yourself and your cat a favor and switch to a grain free diet. My cat has never been a picky eater but as I have gotten older and wiser I pay more attention to what is in my cat's kibble. I have noticed an improvement in energy levels, less shedding, and a boost in overall quality of life in very little time with this food. She seems to really enjoy eating it and I will say it has a much more pleasant aroma compared to other brands.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Olivia loves it! My cat, Olivia, developed a food allergy late in life and her liver enzymes skyrocketed. We cut out dry food entirely for awhile, and then slowly added it back in. ToW Rocky Mountain was the new choice because of the ingredients and was the flavor she prefers. It was an instant hit, and has helped Olivia eat better without throwing up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A whole new cat We adopted a young cat that wouldn't eat and was so skinny I honestly thought she wasn't going to make it. So one evening when I got off work i grabbed a bag for my cats to see how they would do, well she ate it and is so active now and acts just like a kitten, she's putting on weight and her coat is now growing and shinny. I was so happy I've bought 2 more large bags and have found our new food. Im greatful

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Finally my cat isn't chewing her fur!! It's only been a few weeks and already we see the difference in coat. One of our females has been biting at her skin for a year and although we tried everything, it was a change to Taste of the Wild Trout and Smoked Salmon that made the difference.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My cats love this! I started out this food after I won some samples from a contest. My cats love it so I went ahead to buy the bigger packs from Petexpo. They sometimes turn their nose away from some expensive dry food. Surprisingly, they immediately indulge in the food when I added this to their meal. Yay!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My cats love it We originally purchased Taste of the Wild Canyon River Blend for overweight Siamese, but our new cat loves it as well. The old food had way too many fillers. We decided grain free was the way to go and I’m so glad we did, it has helped our Siamese lose some of his excess weight.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My very picky cat loves this! I have switched off of so many different dried food that had been making my two cats sick. On top of that they had no desire to eat and it seemed like they didn’t prefer the taste no matter what I tried. Then, I found a sample of taste of the wild and thought “well this won’t make things hurt anymore than they already are” and poured it into their dishes. As they watched me, they immediately became exited and INHAILED the sample. I went to the store the next day and purchased a small bag and have been found so ever since. No more vomit, itchy skin, or pickiness!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Our cat was suffering from stomatitis..... Stomatitis is an inflammation affecting the mucous membranes of the mouth and lips of cats. Our cat has it. It can potentially be caused by a food allergy. His tongue was covered with sores and ulcerated. He had trouble holding food in his mouth. Anyway, we were at our wits end trying to discover the cause and a potential cure for this condition.The Vet wanted to extract all of our cats' teeth. Ouch!! On a hunch, we decided to find a cat food that did not contain any chicken ingredients. This brought me to try TOTW cat food. They stock three different varieties( Angus Beef , Trout/Salmon and Turkey)of cat food that contain no chicken products. After all, variety is the spice of life ! Immediately, the sores went away and his appetite/chewing improved drastically. What I didn't anticipate was the improvement in the over all health of all three cats. Previously, they all had dry, brittle fur. Now, all three have sleek, shiny coats . Finally, the greatest change has been in their energy levels.All day long, they race back and forth chasing each other. The difference is night and day. Whew, that's it. I feel like I wrote a book. That's how much I approve of and recommend this company and their products. Please, please. please keep this food the same and don't ever change the formulation. OK??

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Value + Appeal for the Meowies We have been avid Taste of the Wild customers for years, and when we ended up foster failing a kitty with IBD and a chicken sensitivity, we were absolutely thrilled to find a fish-based food that had no chicken byproducts in it! (Take a look at some of the other brands' labels - you'll be shocked) The kitties love it just as much as they do the Rocky Mountain Feast, and it's just as easy on everyone's tummies making the litter boxes a little less miserable every week. We won't be looking anywhere else for our furry kiddos' needs!

how long can the cat food be left out to free feed before it goes stale?

Asked by: susan5
Susan5, we recommend putting enough food out for 1-2 days when free feeding. Food that is left out for more than 3 days is often not as appealing.

What is the shelf life of dry food after it's been opened? I keep it in the original bag and then put that inside a plastic bin with a lid.

Asked by: Taelor
Hello, Taelor! We guarantee the food will stay fresh until the “Best By” date that is stamped on the bag. On our 14 and 28-pound bags, the Best By date can be found on the back of the bag. On our 5-pound bags, the Best By date can be found on the side gusset of the bag. As for your storing method - we approve! The recommended storage method is to keep the food in its original packaging, in order to keep vital information handy in case you have a problem, emergency or question for the manufacturer. You may store the entire bag in a closed container as well. Food should be kept in a cool, dry location as excess heat or moisture may cause the nutrients to break down. If you have any additional questions, please contact us by visiting our website https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/contact-us/. Thank you for choosing TOTW!
