Rocky Mountain Feline Recipe with Roasted Venison & Smoke-Flavored Salmon is rated out of 5 by 161.Rated 5 out of 5 by Alison Myers from A welcomed change in our home! We just recently made the switch to Taste of the Wild dry cat good after several friends and family recommend it, and our girls absolutely love the Roasted Venison & Smoked Salmon! As soon as I opened the first bag, they could smell it and came running over. You can see one here sneaking away with a mouthful and the other about to stick her head in there after I turned away for just a second! Not only do they love it, but I love it too! The ingredients list is impressive, it smells great, and since making the switch a few weeks ago, we haven't stepped in and/or had to clean up a single hairball or vomit, something we seemed to frequently with our old brand of dry cat food. It's a much welcomed change!Date published: 2018-04-20Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from My cat eats better than me I am very particular about what I feed my cat. I go through an hour deciding what food I buy her when the time comes to change her meal. This does not include the research I do beforehand, or the peer review process my decision undertakes. I never go through the labels for my groceries but for my Cookie every detail is memorized. After all these, I finally decided to settle on this product. My verdict: my cat absolutely adores it! She seems to enjoy the taste. Her feces is better formed, and smells more pleasant. Her coat is great and she is very active. I am very happy about my purchase and this will surely be her staple for now. Thanks for a great product guys!Date published: 2017-10-04Rated 5 out of 5 by FarmersDaughter from My Cats Love This My cats love TOTW and look shiny, beautiful, lean and healthy. I also appreciate the fact that their litter box doesn't reek, is easy to clean. This tells me their food is being digested and used in their body not being pooped out. When I was feeding another well known brand, found in most feed stores, my cats' coat looked greasy and dull. The cats were fat, lethargic and the litter box was disgusting! I have used TOTW for over 5 years now and have no intention of switching to anything else. Plus, my cats eat less of TOTW than they ate of the other food and seem more satisfied than before.Date published: 2016-09-25Rated 5 out of 5 by Anni from All 3 cats love it! We have 3 cats that are different ages and breeds. All 3 of them love this! We decided to upgrade their food to grain-free and started by mixing 50/50 with the old brand so they can adjust. We normally let them graze on dry food, but they are eating so much that we're going to have to restrict the servings! They are just crazy about it! We typically see occasional vomiting and failed hairball expelling attempts, especially with the 2 older cats. It hasn't happened since we started this food, and we're still on 50/50 mix (until we run out of the old brand). Our oldest cat has been friskier and his stool is not as smelly. I'm very happy with this food and so are our cats.Date published: 2017-04-25Rated 5 out of 5 by Aytek from Healthy and tasty ! I prefer giving my cat different brands of dry food time to time and varying as many brands as possible. However, I realised that the periods my cat had Taste of the Wild were the healthiest periods of her lifetime. Whenever she eats Taste of the Wild, her coat gets shinier, loss of fur is minimum and she is more active, more responsive and healthy. This food doesn't have grains and is one of the best dry food for the price / value. I guess I will change my habit on varying the food and stick with this food forever !Date published: 2017-07-21Rated 5 out of 5 by depeche from My 3 cats are in a trance over this food. About a month ago TOTW showed up at my local pet store and I decided to give it a shot. I couldn't be happier!!! All 3 of my cats are in paradise. Their coats look and feel better and my larger female has lost at least 2-3lbs. After they are finished their meal they seem satisfied and don't beg for more. ( Well our Russian Blue could eat and eat but their stomachs are just in love with food.) Interestingly I put even less in their bowls then before and the litter box has improved. Odors have drastically reduced. Add to this grain free and Viola!!! BEST CAT FOOD EVER!!!!Date published: 2017-06-11Rated 5 out of 5 by anash from Love it for years and beyond! My female Himalayan cat is soooo picky when it comes to food. She loves baked potato and sweet potato, so this food is the only brand of kibbles that she tolerates ever. Tried the most expensive one but she doesn't like it. My male Himalayan fortunately is not as picky so he eats whatever she eats. They've been eating this for 4-6 years and never have any health issues, thankfully. They're all of healthy weight, muscles and fats in all the right places.Date published: 2018-07-17Rated 5 out of 5 by Jess from Holy Silky Cats! I've been feeding my two girls the Rocky Mountain Feline for a few years now and OMG...they have the nicest coats you've ever touched! They're ultra silky and healthy...they even lost a pound (one was a little chubby prior!) when I put them on this food. It seems to be a really good food for them for a really great price.Date published: 2016-12-01Have there been any recalls on the feline formula dry cat food?
