High Prairie Canine Recipe with Roasted Bison & Roasted Venison is rated out of 5 by 480.Rated 5 out of 5 by Regan from Teddy Tested & Approved!!! I have such a picky dog. I got him from a rescue over 5 years ago and brought home several high quality options for him. Teddy is an obstinant Lhasa and went on hunger strike until appropriate provisions were secured for him. He approves this formula and the Wetlands. Even when I home cook for him, he appears to consider that a nice snack and heads to his bowl for his real meal. Additionally, upon switching I noticed that within a few weeks his skin issues cleared up as well as his gastro intestinal problems. I am quite pleased. Thank you for making such a great product.Date published: 2016-12-27Rated 5 out of 5 by Bridogmt from Have 3 high energy dogs who thrive on this Have 2 German Shorthair Pointers and an all American mutt who eaten this for 6 years now. Constantly on go hunting, camping off leash running. Have never had any digestive problems with any of them. The GSPs during hunting season put in long days in all kinds of weather and their energy level is great. Our mixed breed runs 4-5 miles daily with my wife and keeps up great During the Montana winter when they don't get as much activity I know this high quality food contributes to keeping their weight stable. Highly recommend if you have sporting dogs or active lifestyle.Date published: 2017-05-26Rated 5 out of 5 by Cindy from My Dogs LOVE the High Prairie Formula ! I started buying this product many years ago and my dogs ALL absolutely love it ! All of them have lived to be between 14 and 19 years old ! Through all the years of buying this product NOT ONE RECALL or the dreaded reports of any illness or deaths from this product, while I watched brand after brand of others get recalled. There are no grains and my dogs are all energetic, at a great weight and their coats are shining. I would NEVER use any other dry dog food because I love my dogs. To me they are family members!Date published: 2017-02-25Rated 5 out of 5 by earthdog50 from Trusted Brand As a show/breeder of Jack Russell terriers, it was important for me to find a high quality dry dog food that would work for my terriers. I have been feeding Taste of the Wild High Prairie for years and my dogs thrive on it. It’s a well balanced food, I love the fact that purified water is used and taurine is added. Hard to find a brand that hasn’t been recalled at some time, but TOTW is one of the few. I recommend it to all our puppy buyers and put a bag of the puppy version in all our puppy packages.Date published: 2018-08-15Rated 5 out of 5 by Talon from All my dogs love Taste of the Wild I started feeding my last dog Taste of the Wild in 2006. He loved it and it was the only brand I've used with him until he passed in 2020, he was 15 yrs old. I now have a new dog I rescued in 2021. She is now 4 yrs old and I've been using Taste of the Wild exclusively with her since we adopted her. She loves it at least as much as our last dog and I will continue to have Taste of the Wild as her food. In all my years of dog ownership, I have never heard as many compliments on my dog's health and condition as when I started using your brand. Thank you from me and my dog ZOE. You make an absolutely amazing product.Date published: 2022-04-26Rated 2 out of 5 by KimT from Something has changed in your food Hello. I have had both my dogs on this food since they were born and they were fed this at the breeder. My older dog is suddenly experiencing symptoms of irritable bowl disease with vomiting and diarrhea coming out of no where that takes weeks to get better. She has been tested two and three times for everything under the sun. I feel like you guys have changed ingredients in your food within the last year and it is causing issues with her now. She doesn't "get into" stuff … no table scraps and her "cookies" are simply dog food kibbles. Have you changed the recipe on your foods? It seems that others have noticed a change as well based on reviews of other flavors.Date published: 2018-10-11Rated 2 out of 5 by Jaxy from Disappointed I had been feeding this food to my wolf-dog, Jackson, for years and then all of a sudden he started loosing his fur... After paying expensive vet bills, we discovered that Jackson is allergic to chicken. Upon reading the ingredients list, I found out that Taste of the Wild has been putting chicken filler in their food (For how long? I’m not sure…) This is a shame, because chicken just so happens to be the second most common food allergy in dogs. I immediately stopped purchasing this food. If this company stops putting chicken in their recipes, I’ll happily go back to the Bison and Venison formula, but until then, I’ll be feeding my dogs different food.Date published: 2023-06-11Rated 5 out of 5 by TheWizardofWY from All 3 dogs chose High prairie I have been feeding my 3 dogs a Venison based product for years. I saw this and decided to try. Over three months I gave all 3 dogs a choice. High Prairie vs their original. They chose High Prairie 100% of the time. Macro ingredient levels of this product exceed that of their previous food as well as many others.Date published: 2016-09-22We have a German Shepherd. I was wondering if any of the dry dog foods have GLUCOSAMINE AND CHONDRONITIN formulated for the larger breeds?
Hello - our recipes do include naturally occurring glucosamine and chondroitin, however, we do not measure the amount. If you have additional questions about our recipes, please contact us by visiting our website https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/contact-us/.Date published: 2019-02-26My dogs are not eating their High Prairie as enthusiastically these days. Have you recently changed the formula in any way?
Hello and thanks for reaching out! We’re bummed to hear that your dogs are not as enthusiastic about High Prairie Canine as they once were. Please know, we have not made any recent changes to the recipe. If you’re interested in trying a new flavor, please contact us for a personalized recipe recommendation. Please contact us by visiting https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/contact-us.Date published: 2019-10-24How much High Plains should I feed my adult border collie?
Hello, and thanks for reaching out! Our feeding guides are listed on the side gusset of every package as well as on the individual product pages of our website. The amount listed in the feeding guide is the recommended total number of 8-ounce measuring cups (standard kitchen measuring cup) that your pet should eat per day. Feeding amounts can be adjusted based on the age, breed and activity level of your pet. With any diet change, we recommend consulting with your veterinarian to determine the best feeding amount for your Border Collie.

Hello, thanks for reaching out. There is not a recall on any of our grain-free Taste of the Wild formulas. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at 1-800-342-4808.Date published: 2018-01-02Hi, I'm just wondering how much of the protein content comes from pea protein? I know this is listed in the ingredients so I'm just wondering how much pea protein as a total percentage of protein is added to the formula. For example "High Prairie."
Hello, and thanks for reaching out! We don’t provide the full list of ingredient ratios because our recipes are proprietary information. The ingredients are listed in descending order by weight in the recipe.Date published: 2021-08-15Do you have weight loss or control dog food
Hello and thanks for reaching out! While we do not currently offer any recipes specifically designed for weight loss, Pine Forest Canine Recipe is our lowest fat/calorie recipe, containing 337kcal/cup and 15% fat as-fed. Please know, in order to lose weight, you will likely need to feed about 10-20% less than the amounts listed in the feeding guide for each recipe. We recommend consulting with your veterinarian to find the most appropriate diet based on your dogs’ needs.Date published: 2020-01-17which product would be best for Boxers? they have sensitive digestive systems and don't do well with fillers.
Hello, generally a formula with limited protein sources, like our Pacific Stream Canine Formula or Sierra Mountain Canine Formula is recommended for dogs with sensitivities. If you’d like, please feel free to give one of our product specialists a call at 1-800-342-4808 or email us by visiting https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/#contact-us to help find the best formula for your dog.Date published: 2017-06-27Is there any shellfish in the high prairie formula? I see there are ocean fish but I was wondering if there is any shellfish. I am allergic to that.
Hello, Barbara! Shellfish is not an ingredient in our High Prairie Canine Recipe. Our fish meal is small ocean fish, such as Menhaden whitefish, cooked and ground to a fine consistency. If you’re looking for a recipe without ocean fish meal, our Sierra Mountain Canine Recipe would be a great option.Date published: 2019-08-05My cats have taken to eating my dog's High Prairie, is this a problem? Their regular formula is the Venison and Salmon, but it'd be convenient to switch to High Prairie for all of my animals.
Hello, we find many cats love our dog food and vise versa. While an occasional bite of dog food will not hurt your cat, feeding it regularly can be quite detrimental to your cat’s health. This is because dogs and cats do not have the same requirements for nutrients like protein and amino acids. More importantly, taurine supplementation is essential for cats, but not required for dogs, therefore our dog formulas do not contain an adequate amount taurine for your cat. Because of this, we recommend you only feed a cat formula to your cat. If you have any additional questions, please give us a call at 1-800-342-4808.Date published: 2017-12-13Why do you no longer make 30 lb bags?
Hello and thank you for reaching out. Previously we offered three recipes in 5-, 14- and 28-pound bags, while eight recipes, including Pacific Stream Canine Recipe were sold in 5-, 15- and 30-pound bags. We have updated all TOTW recipes to 5-, 14- and 28-pound bags. Unfortunately, TOTW and many others in the industry are faced with the reality of increased costs of raw ingredients and transportation. So TOTW has adjusted the size of those select recipe bags without adjusting the price. The Taste of the Wild family will continue to look for ways to provide high-quality, yet affordable pet food options to pet parents.Date published: 2019-03-20What would be a good food for a boxer/lab mix with bad joints and arthritis?
For dogs with arthritis, it is very important to maintain optimal lean body weight. High Prairie is higher in calories and fat than many of our other formulas. You might want to consider a lower calorie formula such as Sierra Mountain. If your dog is overweight, we recommend working with your veterinarian to initiate a weight reduction plan.Date published: 2017-02-14Is a 5month puppy ok to eat the adult high prairie food?
Hello and thanks for reaching out! As a general guide, we recommend transitioning puppies to adult food at about 10–12 months of age. For large breed dogs, between 12–18 months of age is a good time to make the transition to adult food. In the meantime, we recommend feeding a puppy-specific or all life stages recipe. Our puppy recipes include High Prairie Puppy and Pacific Stream Puppy, while our all life stages recipes include: Pine Forest Canine, Southwest Canyon Canine and Sierra Mountain Canine. The all life stages recipes are developed to meet the nutritional needs of dogs at all ages, from puppy to senior. Our puppy-specific recipes fall under the all life stages category as well, but have smaller kibbles. Both our puppy and all life stages recipes include specific nutrients, like added DHA that aids in brain and eye development, to help your puppy grow to their full potential. If you have any further questions or would like a recipe recommendation, please contact us by visiting our website https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/#contact-us.Date published: 2019-01-16Can I mix two kinds of TOW together or feed two separate flavors the same day. I.e, hi Prairie in AM and Pacific Stream in PM. I have a 40 lb bag of Hi. Prairie and cannot return it. Wondering if I can feed him Hi Prairie And lower calorie variety
Hello, thanks for reaching out! Many pets enjoy eating more than one Taste of the Wild recipe, and while both recipes are complete and balanced, they are slightly different in protein, fat, and calorie content, as well as feeding guidelines. The calories from both dry recipes should equal the suggested number of calories per day for your pet, based on the feeding guides. Please know, feeding amounts will need to be adjusted based on age, breed and activity level of your pet. In order to help prevent digestive upset, it is best to mix the two formulas together, rather than feeding them at different times. As always, we recommend consulting with a veterinarian to determine the appropriate amount of food for your dog. If you have any additional questions, please contact us by visiting https://www.diamondpet.com/contact-us/.Date published: 2020-08-14Does this food satisfy all of the nutritional needs of a pregnant Golden retriever?
Hello, thanks for contacting us. Our High Prairie Canine Recipe does not meet the nutritional needs of pregnant and nursing dogs. You may want to consider our High Prairie Puppy Recipe, which is an All Life Stages recipe and supports dogs throughout their life stages, including as puppies and during reproduction and lactation.Date published: 2023-08-30We have a four year old golden retriever that has major allergies (ear infection, skin sores, scratching, licking, etc.) We have had him to 6 different vets and still no solutions. Which blend of TOTW would you suggest?
Mike, we’re sorry to hear your Golden is experiencing allergies. Please call our staff veterinarian at 800-342-4808 so they can help address your questions.Date published: 2017-01-02Does taste of wild have rosemary oil in it?
Hello and thanks for reaching out! Rosemary oil is not an ingredient in our recipes.Date published: 2019-03-05Hello, I have female English Bulldog who just went thru 1st heat... She is just over 13 months old and is perfect weight and build. She is finishing a bag of High Prairie Puppy. Should I switch now to this adult version?
Hello. You can continue to feed your English Bulldog High Prairie Puppy because it an "all life stages" food appropriate for female dogs regardless of their heat cycle. The High Prairie Canine formula would also be a good choice; it is slightly higher in protein, fat and calories than the puppy formula.Date published: 2017-03-22Is the high prairie good for adult large breed dogs?????
Hello and thanks for reaching out! Our High Prairie Canine recipe is formulated for adult dogs of all sizes and breeds and would be an excellent option for your large-breed, adult dog.Date published: 2018-10-31I've been reading about zero grains foods and how some dogs have heart problems because of them, specifically ones that contain peas. It appears that taurine supplementation can reverse these problems. Do your foods have enough taurine added for dogs?
Hi, Marie! Thanks for reaching out. Normally, dogs are able to synthesize taurine and do not require it in their diets. Because the American Association of Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) does not provide recommendations for the amount of taurine in the food, we do not measure the amount in our formulas. However, they do require a minimum of 0.65% methionine-cystine (the necessary amino acid precursors for taurine synthesis) for adult dog maintenance formulas. This formula contains 1.19% methionine-cystine on an as-fed basis.Date published: 2018-08-22I have a diabetic 15 year old lab. Which of your products is lowest in carbs?
Our High Prairie and Wetlands formulas have the lowest carbohydrate content of our diets (both are close to 28% carbs).Date published: 2017-02-14Is the venison and bison dry dog food grain free? Also, is it for seniors?
Water Buffalo is the first ingredient, Bison is the 8th ingredient followed by Venison as the 9th ingredient. I was told that the first 5 ingredients in any food, pet or human, were the most important because that is what the food is mostly made of. It can be very misleadingDate published: 2021-06-24My smelly dog has always eaten High Prairie--as puppy & adult. Recently I adopted a new puppy & gradually transitioned her to High Prairie. Almost immediately her fur scent changed to match my adult dog's musky smell. Should I try another flavor to fix?
Hello, thanks for reaching out. There are many factors the can affect the way a dog smells; for instance, some breeds have a more noticeable odor than others and puppies almost always have less odor than adult dogs. Natural changes in a dog's odor occur as they mature. When and if a “musky” smell is detected, the anal glands/sacs are often the cause. They are the “marking” glands in the area of the anus which release an unpleasant odor and oily secretion. In addition, ear, skin and mouth infections can also cause foul odors. While food can affect the way a dog smells, we do not believe that is this case based on your description. However, if you’d like to talk with our product specialists or if you’d like to try a different recipe to rule out the formula as the cause, we’d be happy discuss and/or offer other formula recommendations. Feel free to give us a call at 1-800-342-4808. Please note, if your puppy is less than a year old, we do recommend switching her to one of our puppy formulas or an all life stages formula as High Prairie Canine Formula is a maintenance formula and does not meet the nutritional needs for puppies. Listed below are our puppy formulas and all life stages formulas: - High Prairie Puppy with Roasted Bison & Roasted Venison - Pacific Stream Puppy with Smoked Salmon - Pine Forest Canine with Venison & Legumes - Southwest Canyon Canine with Wild Boar - Sierra Mountain Canine with Roasted LambDate published: 2017-11-21i am currently feeding my dog this recipe. I just found out he is allergic to chicken and salmon. Do you make any foods without these ingredients?
Hello, our High Prairie Canine contains contain chicken as a protein source. We recommend considering our Sierra Mountain formula, as it is a more limited protein source diet (lamb and egg proteins) and works well for many dogs with allergies. Many of our formulas contain salmon oil, however the oil does not contain salmon protein and is not a typical food allergen.Date published: 2017-04-21Is the kibble for the adult version of taste of the wild high prairie canine bison and venison the same size as the puppy kibble taste of the wild venison?
Hello, Amber and thanks for reaching out! The kibble in our puppy recipe is barrel shaped and about the size of a pencil eraser, while the kibble in our canine recipe is slightly larger, as it is a flat, round disc shape and approximately the diameter of a dime. Please know, our kibbles are designed with dogs of all sizes in mind. If you would like a recipe recommendation from our product specialists, please give us a call at 1-800-342-4808 (8 a.m.–5 p.m. CT weekdays).Date published: 2019-05-24My dog is allergic to sorghum and mackerel. Is there any mackeral in the ocean fish meal? I am looking to start feeding her the high prairie canine recipe.
Hello and thanks for reaching out! If your dog is allergic to mackerel, we recommend avoiding foods with ocean fish meal. You may want to consider Sierra Mountain, Southwest Canyon or one of the PREY recipes. If you have any further questions or would like a personalized recipe recommendation, please contact our product specialists by visiting https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/contact-us/.Date published: 2019-09-05Are ANY ingredients imported from China?
Hello, Brian. Most of the ingredients in Taste of the Wild originate in the U.S. There are critical ingredients, however, that are not available domestically in an adequate supply or with as much quality as our international supply. These ingredients are critical to our formulations (i.e. folic acid and taurine) and can only be sourced out of China. We believe omitting these ingredients would not be in the best interest of your pet. To learn more about our food safety program, please view the video at http://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com.Date published: 2017-04-04Why does this not have fish/salmon oil? It kills me because it is the one thing that makes me choose another brand over yours because I don't want to by the supplement.
Hello, our Prairie Canine Formula includes ocean fish meal, which contains a small amount of fish oil. However, if you’re looking for a formula with salmon oil, we recommend our Sierra Mountain Canine formula.Date published: 2017-02-27Does Taste of the Wild make a dry dog food formulated for senior dogs?
Jrutten, High Prairie Canine Formula is a great choice for a healthy senior dog. It was developed as a maintenance diet for active dogs, with protein sources that provide highly digestible energy and antioxidants. If your senior dog isn't quite as active as he has been in the past, our Sierra Mountain Formula would also be a good option because of the lower calorie content.Date published: 2016-12-15I am looking for a senior dog food. Does High Prairie meet the needs of the older dog? My dog is already eating High Prairie.
Hello and thanks for reaching out! All of our canine recipes, including High Prairie Canine, are formulated to meet the nutritional needs of senior dogs. However, if your senior dog isn't as active as he or she once was, we recommend our Sierra Mountain Canine Recipe or our Pacific Stream Canine Recipe, because of the lower calorie and fat contents compared to our other recipes.Date published: 2018-06-15I currently buy the Taste of the Wild bison and venison. My vet says I need a larger size kibble. Do you carry anything with a larger kibble?
Hello, Renee and thanks for reaching out! We do not offer a larger size kibble at this time. Please know, our kibbles are created with dogs of all sizes in mind.
