Canyon River Feline Recipe with Trout & Smoke-Flavored Salmon is rated out of 5 by 89.Rated 5 out of 5 by Shayster 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.Date published: 2017-05-22Rated 5 out of 5 by Raven 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.Date published: 2018-04-21Rated 5 out of 5 by Smullin81 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!!Date published: 2018-04-21Rated 2 out of 5 by Nick 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.Date published: 2019-01-11Rated 5 out of 5 by AEAyala 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!Date published: 2018-04-19Rated 5 out of 5 by Nick 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!Date published: 2018-04-05Rated 5 out of 5 by Dlt2132 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!!!!Date published: 2020-08-30Rated 5 out of 5 by haynicky 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.Date published: 2018-09-14Rated 5 out of 5 by Judy from My cats love it! I have been feeding my cats Taste of the Wild for years and all 7 of them enjoy it.Date published: 2022-04-26Rated 5 out of 5 by CheriTee 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.Date published: 2018-04-21Rated 5 out of 5 by Cinderellasmom from Finally solid stools!!! When we adopted our kitten Cinderella, she had been having horrible diarrhea even at the shelter. I had tried many foods & nothing worked until I found this formula. She has had solid stools ever since & is so much happier! Her coat is so soft & shiny! Thank you TOTW!!Date published: 2018-10-07Rated 5 out of 5 by Jenn1033 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 greatfulDate published: 2021-01-21Rated 5 out of 5 by MYKRO 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.Date published: 2018-05-14Rated 5 out of 5 by Islandmama from My cats thrive on this food I have been feeding my 7 cats this food for over 12 years. They are in fantastic health with beautiful coats. Even my older cats are perky and playful. I especially appreciate the high quality protein at an affordable price. It's very palatable...the cats love this recipe, as well as the other TOW formulas.Date published: 2022-04-25Rated 5 out of 5 by Siqi 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!Date published: 2018-04-17Rated 5 out of 5 by Earswithfeet123 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.Date published: 2018-04-18Rated 5 out of 5 by Rosie the Lemon Tree 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!Date published: 2023-03-13Rated 5 out of 5 by Enzo from I love this food for my cats! I love this food. I was looking for a good quality food for my cats and when I read the ingredients to this food I was sold! My cats also love it. 2 of them also have a sensitive stomach and do very well on it.

I feel like this is a great product for the price.Date published: 2018-04-19Rated 5 out of 5 by KolaPiperPuppie from I feed both of my cats taste of the wild Both of our cats love the food .they chow it down quick ...the food is small great for there little mouths ...Date published: 2018-04-20Rated 5 out of 5 by CAT5 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??Date published: 2021-03-03Rated 5 out of 5 by Nicole M 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!Date published: 2022-04-25Rated 5 out of 5 by Tim n Tina from Our 2 Cats have only tried 2 Our 2 cats have only tried 2 of the receipes and will not leave the bowl untill it is licked clean.
