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: 2016-12-01What percentage of the protein in your cat food is derived from animal based sources? (Both formulations please) Example - I've seen bags of other cat food brands state that 81% of the protein is animal based.
Hello and thanks for your question! While we are unable to provide the percentage of protein derived from meat versus plants, as it’s considered proprietary information, the ingredients are listed in descending order by weight in the ingredient deck. If you have any additional questions, please contact us by visiting our website at https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/contact-us/.Date published: 2023-02-01What is the Ash content of the venison and salmon dry cat food?
Hi Peggy_18, thanks for your question. The Rocky Mountain Feline formula has 8.9% ash on an as-fed basis.Date published: 2017-03-30Hello! I've found out my Abyssinian may have an allergy to tomatoes. Can you please tell content percentage of tomatoes in your formula? Thank you!
Hi, Debi. Both our Rocky Mountain Feline and our Canyon River Feline formulas contain tomatoes. If your cat has an allergy to tomatoes, a diet that does not contain any tomatoes would be the best option.Date published: 2017-03-10My kitten is 7 months and has a problem with GAS! My vet recommended switching food, something with a differnt protein source. Do think your product will help?
Hi, Rich – Thanks for reaching out. We are sorry to hear your cat has a problem with gas, that is no fun! There can be many factors that contribute to excess gas production. Factors include: - Consuming food too fast, which leads to swallowing too much air - Intolerance to certain ingredients - Possible disorder of the gastrointestinal tract When looking at new diets, it is important to compare the protein source(s) as trying a new protein source could decrease the gas, like your vet said. Additionally, you might consider a limited ingredient diet, like our Taste of the Wild PREY line. Our PREY cat formulas contain three main ingredients (one animal protein source, lentils and sunflower oil); decreasing the amount of ingredients may help determine the exact cause of the gas. In order to provide a recommendation, we need to learn more about your cat, please give us a call at 1-800-342-4808 so we can help you find the right formula for your cat!Date published: 2017-12-04What is ash content in TOTW Rocky Mountain roasted venison & smoked flavored salmon dry cat food?

Have arthritic fingers and can't inject insulin or test BG. Is there a TOW food that I can use instead of ProPlan. I feed 13 in indoor habitat
Hello, thanks for contacting us. We do not currently make any recipes specifically for cats with diabetes.

Hasn't the FDA research shown that these ingredients are linked to DCM illness in dogs and cats? Is it safe for my pet to consume this diet?
Hello, thanks for contacting us. Our pet nutrition and veterinary experts select all of our ingredients with the health and well-being of pets in mind. Peas, legumes, lentils and potatoes are included in our grain-free recipes because they are great sources of protein, fiber and antioxidants, and they help to make those recipes complete and balanced. To date, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) still has not found any science-based causes that link diet or ingredients, including peas, legumes, lentils and potatoes, to DCM.Date published: 2022-11-26Of the 42% protein, what percentage is derived from meat?
The majority of the protein comes from the chicken meal. However, there is some low ash protein that comes from roasted venison and smoked salmon, as well as pea and potato protein.Date published: 2023-02-01Since deer/venison is a vector of giardia, what manufacturing process do you use to prevent the contamination and spread of this disease in your food?
Hello and thank you for reaching out. Transmission of giardia occurs from exposure to feces of infected animals (dogs, cats, cattle, rodents, sheep, deer, humans, etc). Although our food does not include any ingredients that would contain giardia, if it were present, it would not survive the cooking process. Additionally, our facilities adhere to stringent quality protocols, have a dedicated quality assurance and safety staff and follow “Good Manufacturing Processes” protocols. These protocols include “clean breaks” between each batch of product in which production areas and equipment are cleaned and sanitized, the use of ingredients are carefully controlled and finished product samples are tested.

Hi, Kevin! Thanks for reaching out. While we do not formulate any prescription diets with restricted sodium, our Canyon River Feline dry recipe contains the lowest amount of sodium at 0.35% as-fed.

Hello, and thanks for reaching out! Please know, all of our Taste of the Wild feline recipes contain fish oil, such as salmon oil. However, salmon oil does not typically trigger an allergic reaction as the oil does not contain actual fish protein. We recommend consulting with your veterinarian to determine the best diet for your cat based on their allergies.

We switched from Royal canin hoping this would be one step ahead.
Hello and thanks for reaching out! With maturity comes many changes, and for your kitten one of those changes includes a change in coat. Kittens are born with a soft, cottony-like coat. However, starting at around 5 months of age, your kitten may start shedding this soft fur for the thicker, tougher coat they’ll carry as an adult. If you believe your kittens’ haircoats are abnormal, we recommend speaking to your veterinarian. If you have any additional questions regarding food, please contact us by visiting our website https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/contact-us/.Date published: 2018-09-28why is there chicken meal in this when its suppose to be venison and salmon. my cat has a allergy to chicken.

Hi, Donna. We use several high-quality protein sources in our Rocky Mountain Feline Formula. Chicken meal is an excellent source of low ash protein. Roasted venison and smoked salmon are unique ingredients that enhance the flavor of this formula and also provide lean protein.Date published: 2017-05-06My cats seem board with their dry food. It's the tan bag. They used to eat the green bag. I'm thinking of trying the Prey beef one. Is it a complete food? They get Fancy Feast cans, too. They do not like chicken or turkey, at all.
