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: 2016-09-22My 4yo GSD was diagnosed with epilepsy in April. He's had 3 seizures so far and is now on 2 medications. I know a lot of people say diet can be a factor, but there's so much information online that it's confusing. Would this be a good brand for my boy?
Hello, thanks for contacting us. We currently do not have a recipe specifically for epilepsy. We recommend consulting with your veterinarian to determine the best diet for your pet based on his needs.Date published: 2022-06-10can you please send me the calcium phosphorus ratio for the High Country dog food? Also we are on a tight budget and wondered if there was a way to get coupons for this food?
Hi, Troy. Our High Prairie Canine Formula has a calcium to phosphorus ratio of 2.1:1.4. At this time, we do not offer coupons. We believe in providing foods that are of the highest quality at an everyday value rather than offering coupons. At Taste of the Wild, we continually evaluate our procedures to eliminate extra costs while maintaining the highest standards for our products. And while we don’t offer coupons, select independent retailers do offer a Taste of the Wild loyalty program.Date published: 2017-11-14Seriously, just how BIG of a difference does it make, feeding adult dog food to a 7-month old "puppy"? Just how important is it that a puppy eats puppy food...especially when this "puppy" already weighs 50 lbs.??
Hello, puppy formulas and all life stages formulas are developed to meet the nutritional needs of growing puppies, whereas adult formulas are not. Our puppy formulas and all life stages formulas include specific nutrients, like added DHA that aids in brain and eye development, to help your puppy grow to their full potential. For large breed puppies, the proper ratio of calcium and phosphorus is especially important for development of healthy bones and joints. As a general guide, we recommend feeding a puppy formula or all life stages formula for the first 10-12 months of age, or 12-18 months of age for large breeds. Our maintenance formulas, such as High Prairie Canine Formula, were formulated for adult dogs, therefore we do not recommend feeding them to your 7-month-old puppy. Our High Prairie Puppy Formula would be a great all life stages formula for your puppy to try. If you have any further questions about our formulas, please feel free to contact on of our product specialists by calling 1-800- 342-4808 or email us by visiting https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/#contact-us.Date published: 2017-08-24is this too high calorie/fat for a malkie (maltese & yorkie)
Hi, Kristi. The key to any feeding program is to pay close attention to your dog’s weight. If you see your pet gaining weight, gradually reduce the portion size that you feed per day. Make sure to take into consideration the calories contributed by treats or other foods you might be feeding.Date published: 2017-06-15My 8 year old doberman was recently diagnosed with DCM (heart disease). Need to switch to low sodium kibble. What is the sodium content in milligrams per 100 Kcals of food for High Prairie Adult, Pacific Stream Adult, Wetlands?
Hello, Donna. Here are the sodium content levels you requested:High Prairie – 0.08 g/100 kcals Pacific Stream – 0.07 g/100 kcals; Wetlands – 0.07 g/100 kcals.Date published: 2017-01-06Is this appropriate for large breed puppy 10mos ?
Hello and thanks for reaching out! High Prairie Canine Recipe is an adult maintenance formula and would not be a suitable option for a puppy. As a general guide, we recommend transitioning large breed puppies to adult food between 12–18 months of age. In the meantime, we recommend feeding a puppy-specific or all life stages formula. Our product specialists would be happy to find a good match for your puppy. Please contact us by submitting an inquiry at https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/contact-us/.Date published: 2020-01-08If my dog needs 1500 calories a day how many cups is that ? Also what is the best type of your dogs food to gain weight ?
Hello and thanks for reaching out! Our High Prairie Canine Recipe contains 370 kcal/cup. For your dog to consume 1500 calories, he or she would require approximately 4 cups per day. This amount is a guideline and can be increased if your dog needs to gain weight. Additionally, our Wetlands Canine Recipe is our highest calorie recipe at 375 kcal/cup and would also be a good option for your dog. If you haven’t already done so, we recommend consulting with your veterinarian to determine the right meal plan for your furry friend before transitioning. If you have any questions about our recipes, please contact us by visiting our website https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/contact-us/.Date published: 2018-12-21I have. 9 year old doodle who was diagnosed as anemic on her last CBC. The vet recommended adding cooked lean ground beef to her diet. Which TofW dog food would provide the best protein source for her?
Hello, we are sorry to hear of your dog’s anemia. We would suggest one of our higher protein diets; both High Prairie Canine and Wetlands have a minimum of 32% protein. We recommend working with your veterinarian to determine the best diet plan for your doodle.Date published: 2017-03-31Where do you source your buffalo, not bison. You do not address that. Mose people assume that the first ingredient of buffalo is bison. Is is water buffalo from India? Falsely represented as USA bison
Hello, Donna and thanks for reaching out. Our High Prairie Canine Recipe contains buffalo meat from India; this high-quality bovine ingredient contains a high percentage of muscle meat and a low percentage of bone content. Additionally, all TOTW labels are in compliance with AAFCO labeling guidelines regarding ingredient names. The bills of lading for India-sourced buffalo meat describe it as buffalo, therefore, our labels are truthful and compliant as defined by AAFCO guidelines. Please know, in addition to buffalo, our High Prairie Canine Recipe does include roasted bison.

Any ideas? Never had this issue before.
Hello, we are sorry to hear your dog has a problem with gas, that is not fun! Please know, there can be many factors that contribute to excess gas production. Some factors include: - Consuming food too fast, which leads to swallowing too much air - Intolerance to certain ingredients - Possible disorder of the gastrointestinal tract We’d like to learn more about your dog; can you please contact us by visiting https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/contact-us?Date published: 2020-04-09Im using High Prairie planning to switch to Pacific Stream, is transition needed?
Hello, thanks for contacting us. Yes, we recommend a gradual transition between recipes over a period of 7-10 days.Date published: 2022-05-11What is the difference between canine recipe and canine formula?
Hello and thanks for reaching out! We have recently updated our product names by swapping “formula” for “recipe,” therefore there are no differences in the actual ingredients, just an updated product name.Date published: 2018-09-18HI!, I would like to know the grain size of the high prairie canine recipe?
Hello, thanks for contacting us. The kibble in our High Prairie Canine Recipe is a flat, round disc shape approximately the diameter of a dime.Date published: 2022-03-08I just adopted an 11 month old Dutch Shepherd, she weighs 50 pounds, but has been in a crowded Shelter for a little over 2 1/2 months. She will be on the TOW Bison and Venison exclusively. How much should she get on a daily basis (2 feedings?).
Hello, thanks for contacting us. Our feeding guides for Taste of the Wild are listed on the packaging as well as on the individual product pages of our website. These guides are offered as starting points to determine the right amount to feed your pet. 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. According to the guide, your Dutch Shepherd can have approximately 2 2/3 cups of food per day. If she is underweight, you may need to increase this amount. Additionally, feeding amounts can be adjusted based on the age, breed and activity level of your pet.Date published: 2022-08-09when the ingrediant says roasted bison/venison what part of the animal is used? are hides used or animals that were already dead? what animal by products are in here please.

If you have any further questions, please submit an inquiry at https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/contact-us/.Date published: 2020-10-22We have an Aussiedoodle who has been on pacific stream since he was a puppy. He is very active but seems bored with his food. I’ve notice that each food varies in protein, fat and calorie content. How do you determine which mixture is right for your dog?
Hi, Victoria! Thanks for reaching out. We always recommend choosing a food for your dog based on lifestyle, life stage and size. For example, our High Prairie Canine and Wetlands recipes are made with higher fat, protein and calorie levels as a highly digestible energy source for active dogs. For a dog who isn’t as active as they once were, we recommend Sierra Mountain Canine, our lowest-calorie recipe. We offer a variety of recipes for puppies, adults (canines) and all life stages. We also have a recipe developed specifically for small breed dogs: Appalachian Valley, an energy dense recipe with a smaller kibble size. If you have additional questions or would like specific recipe recommendations, please contact our product specialists at https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/#contact-us.Date published: 2018-09-11Hi.

We have had him on Venison and Bison dry dog food since he was 8 months old. This year he's developed lipomas on his chest and front shoulder. What food would you recommend so he can get rid of his lipomas?
Hi, Chris. There is not a diet that has been proven to shrink lipomas. Because dogs that are overweight may have an increased risk of developing these fatty masses, we recommend keeping your dog in good physical condition for the best chance of avoiding additional lipomas. If he is overweight, implementing a weight loss program would be the first step to take; a lower fat diet such as Sierra Mountain might be a good option. Your veterinarian should be able to address whether or not removal of the masses is warranted as well as to help you determine the best diet for your dog’s condition.Date published: 2017-07-12My puppy is 6 months old and 50 lbs. I feed her 2 cups per feeding, 2x/day, but noticed the suggested feeding for her weight is 2-3 cups/day. Just for confirmation, the serving suggestion is total cups/day and not cups/ feeding?
Hello and thanks for reaching out! The amount listed in the feeding guide is the recommend total number of cups per day. Our High Prairie Canine recipe is formulated for adult maintenance and is not labeled for puppies. For growing puppies, we recommend our High Prairie Puppy recipe which is formulated to meet the nutritional requirements for growth and has a different feeding guide based on age and size.Date published: 2018-10-05Do you submit your products for independent lab testing?

The best way to determine the cause is a visit to your veterinarian.Date published: 2016-12-31
