High Prairie Puppy Recipe with Roasted Bison & Roasted Venison is rated out of 5 by 252.Rated 5 out of 5 by StephanieW from Love the food but confused about ingredient label! My rescue GSD loves the High Prairie food, and it has done wonders for her overall appearance - her coat has thickened and softened so much - and she's so playful and happy. Easy on the tummy, too. She never gets sick eating it. My friend uses the High Prairie puppy formula. My only confusion is over the labeling. If you look at the ingredients and the guaranteed analysis on your WEBSITE, both of them list taurine, which is important for me. Not a lot of dog foods include it. However, when you look at the actual label on the bag, taurine is omitted. Why?Date published: 2019-02-07Rated 5 out of 5 by Mabel P Stewart from Never been so happy to see my dog eat! Mabel is a 6 month old GSD mix puppy. After being on 3 other puppy foods prior, at the recommendation from a friend, we tried TOTW High Prairie Puppy. Mabel was having some stomach problems, wasn't interested in eating, had started to lose weight because she was vomiting up the food we had her on at the time(and no it wasn't cheap stuff), and also has a sensitivity to chicken. We took her to the vet and had a barium swallow and x-rays done just to be sure there wasn't an obstruction. Everything came back normal. So we bought a bag and after a few days on this food she is excited to eat, dances around her food dish, has more energy, and is back to acting like an energetic puppy!Date published: 2018-04-19Rated 5 out of 5 by Harness1994 from Our Dogs Look Amazing We Have Been Feeding Taste of The Wild High Prairy Puppy Food For 5 years.. Our Dogs Love it.. Our 4lb Chihuahua Bella Has been on it Since She was a Puppy.. She is 7yrs old now. She is still on Puppy Formula Because of how Sensitive She is to other flavors and the Small Pieces are Easier for Her to Eat .. She Does Great on it. Our 2yr 10lb Chihuahua Mix Daisy is Gaining to much Weight on the puppy food.. We are going to cut back and see if that Does the Trick. If not will be switching to small breed adult TOTW.. What Flavor of Food Would You Recommend I Try That Will Be Small Kibble , Easy On My Sensitive Chihuahuas Stomach and Help My Bigger Chihuahua With Weight ? Thank You For a Great Product.. I Highly Recommend TOTW !!!!!!Date published: 2019-03-04Rated 5 out of 5 by Molly from My owner was away from his computer... Hi, my name is Molly. I’m a Wheaten Terrier, 14 weeks old, and I am writing to comment (don't tell my owner I'm using his computer) about Taste of the Wild puppy formula. My owner switched me over to this after arriving at my new home. I must say, I really like the taste! I always finish my meals, right down to the last kibble, so I’m sure that the TOTW company is doing something right. I also love the ingredients… no corn or other grains to upset my little tummy, and the first ingredient is buffalo… yummy! There are also lots of vitamins and other good things to keep me healthy. This is my first Amazon post, and I hope my review will help other dogs who see this post make a smart decision when considering puppy food. Thank you for reading, and tell your owners about this. - MollyDate published: 2016-12-25Rated 5 out of 5 by Frgragg from Great food for our babies!!! We changed our girls food to Taste of the Wild Puppy and could not be more pleased!!! The food has made our girl look so healthy!! The big surprise is that as most knows a German Shepard sheds a lot of hair but feeding her Taste of Wild has reduced the shedding to a minimum!!! Wow we are so grateful to be able to get this good food for our baby and to see how healthy she looks!!!!Date published: 2018-04-17Rated 5 out of 5 by Mazza3506 from Perfect Pup food We rescued a 4 month old puppy from a hoarding situation. She was horribly under weight, her fur and skin were in bad shape. We have been feeding our other dogs Taste of the Wild for years. We had never used the puppy formula before so we gave it a chance. We were impressed with how quickly our little girls put on weight, thickened her very short coat, and how soft her coat became.Date published: 2018-04-21Rated 5 out of 5 by pvtcarlswife from the only food i will feed my pets We had a heart dog who owned us for 14 years. He ate TOTW High Prairie for 9 of those years, he never had any health issues. well, 1 ear infection his entire life, he died healthy and active from bloat. So when we decided it was time to get our new puppies, Australian Shepherds, the only brand we turned to was TOTW. They both love the food, they both are healthy and thriving, we did get them very young as the person that had them was ready for them to be gone at 4 weeks, they were eating TOTW Puppy High Prairie from 4 weeks, they are now 14 weeks and are active and healthy puppies. We also feed TOTW to our 2 cats.Date published: 2020-02-25Rated 5 out of 5 by Shachafit from Picky and sensitive pup loves it I have a czechoslovakian wolfdog pup, and ever since I brought her she never liked any of the dry foods I tried and always had diarrhea. Following many frustrating months, I contacted a breeder from abroad and she highly recommended feeding my pup with taste of the wild. My pup loves it and the diarrhea stopped almost immediately after she began eating this food, she gained lots of weight and her fur became lovely.Date published: 2016-10-27I have a 5 month old Weimaraner who has had 3 UTI's while on the High Prairie Puppy formula. Her urine is running at a high pH (8.0-8.5) and I would like to get it down around 6.5 to combat the bacteria. Is there another formula that you would recommend?
Hello. We're sorry to hear about your dog's UTIs. We do not add anything to any of our dog foods to alter the urine pH. Please consult with your veterinarian for diet options that would be appropriate for your pup.Date published: 2016-11-28Can I change the flavor of the food for my dog? Do you eat the flavor of the salmon? I want him to try all of them. All of them are only 3 months old, what do you think?
Hello, thanks for contacting us. It is ok to rotate your pets’ diet to give them some variety as long as you make sure to feed a puppy formula or a life stages formula for their first year of life. To avoid digestive upset, we recommend limiting your rotation to two recipes and gradually mixing foods over a couple of weeks. When you transition between recipes, slowly reduce the amount of the old recipe and increase the new one. We recommend speaking to your veterinarian about rotation diets, as they best know your pets’ health.Date published: 2022-03-25Hello, The feeding chart on your website is the weight based on Adult weight or the weight of the puppy at this present time? Thank you
Hello, thanks for contacting us. Our feeding charts should be read based on the current weight of your pet and their age.Date published: 2022-02-03I received the wrong shipment for my 7 six week old lab puppies. I received the roasted bison and venison but not the puppy formula. Is there much difference?
Hi, Bruce. While our High Prairie Canine Formula is very similar to our High Prairie Puppy Formula, it was developed as a maintenance diet and does not provide the nutrients your 6-week-old puppies need. We recommend you continue to feed an all life stages formula, (like the High Prairie Puppy Formula) to your puppies until 12-18 months in age as they are formulated to meet the nutritional needs of dogs of all ages. These formulas include added DHA to help aid in proper brain and eye development for growing dogs.Date published: 2017-05-30Does the High Prairie Puppy food contain any corn/corn-ingredients?
Hello, thanks for your question. Like all Taste of the Wild formulas, High Prairie Puppy Formula does not contain corn and/or corn ingredients.Date published: 2017-05-16We’re seeing news reports of a wasting disease in deer and elk etc. we just bought taste of the wild bison and deer food which we have been using for our puppy.

Hello, thanks for contacting us. We do not use diseased or discarded animals in our recipes — our meat suppliers are USDA inspected and approved. All of our meats are of high quality and the food is processed to precise recipe specifications. In addition, we routinely test and monitor our manufacturing process, and work closely with our supply chains to confirm ingredient safety.Date published: 2024-01-05Is your puppy food safe for my pup to eat since the grain free issues and heart issues? Also what are the main ingredients in your puppy food
Hello and thanks for reaching out! Please know our recipes (including High Prairie Puppy) are complete and balanced for puppies and meet both the FDA and Association of American Feed Control (AAFCO) guidelines. As you heard, the FDA is investigating dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in dogs that are not genetically predisposed to the condition. We are aware that they, and many researchers, are studying potential connections between grain-free diets and DCM, and no direct links have been made. Millions of dogs are thriving on grain-free dog food every day. We understand that pet owners are concerned and we encourage them to contact their veterinarians to discuss their pets’ individual dietary needs. We continue to monitor the research as our top priority is and always will be to provide pets with quality, safe food that meets all federal and state regulatory guidelines. Additionally, each recipe’s list of ingredients can be found on the side gusset of every TOTW bag, or the recipe’s product page on our website.

My question is does any of the ingredients come from or are processed in China before arriving at your plants?
Hello, 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 (e.g., folic acid and taurine) are critical to our formulations and can only be sourced out of China. We believe omitting these ingredients would not be in the best interest of your pet.Date published: 2017-09-18what are the percentages of calcium and phosphorous in the puppy food?
Hi, Dudley. High Prairie Puppy contains 1.4% calcium and 1.0% phosphorus on an as-fed basis.Date published: 2017-02-14I just realized i accidentally bought the canine formula for my 9 week old puppy, he has been eating it 3 times a day for 5 days now. Should i switch bags to the puppy formula? Or wait till have the bag is finished?
Hi Chayd, thanks for feeding Taste of the Wild! We recommend choosing a food specifically formulated for puppies or all life stages, especially for very young puppies like yours. The High Prairie Canine formula is labeled for maintenance. Our High Prairie Puppy also includes DHA which is critical for brain and vision development in growing pups. Be sure to check the feeding guide, as well as instructions on the bag for transitioning your puppy from one formula to another.Date published: 2017-09-03~How many cups in 1 30 lb bag?
Hello, a 30-pound bag of High Prairie Puppy formula contains approximately 137 cups.Date published: 2017-03-11Hello, does High prairie puppy food contain any chicken? I have read on a website that are selling your product that the aroma is made of chicken livers and hearts.
Hello, thanks for your question. The natural flavor in our High Prairie Puppy Formula is derived from hydrolyzed chicken liver. This means that the protein is broken down into small particles that are not recognized by the immune system in a pet with food allergies, but it still adds extra flavor for your pet.Date published: 2017-08-15How small is the food? I am getting a Papillion and they do not have large mouths.
Hello, Carolyn! The kibbles in both of our puppy recipes, High Prairie Puppy and Pacific Stream Puppy, are barrel shaped and about the size of a pencil eraser. If you have any additional questions, or would like a specific recipe recommendation, please contact us by visiting our website https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/contact-us/.Date published: 2019-05-01how much daily food for a 3 and 1/2 month old, 13 lb Goldendoodle?
Hello, Carol and thanks for reaching out! According to our feeding guide (found on each TOTW bag and each recipe’s product page), a 3.5 month Goldendoodle weighing 13lbs should consume around 2-3 cups of High Prairie Puppy daily. Please know, the amounts listed on the feeding guide can vary as the recommendations are a starting point. Some dogs may require more or less food than the guidelines depending on activity level and other factors. Additionally, your veterinarian can help you determine the best feeding plan for you dog based on his/her needs. If you have any questions, please contact us by visiting our website https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/#contact-us.Date published: 2019-03-28What would be causing my 10 month old lab to still have occasional diarrhea even after switching to your grain free puppy food. Is there something else in it that she could be allergic to?
Tina, when dogs have occasional diarrhea, the most likely culprit is something they ate that isn’t part of their regular diet. This could be a treat or something they found in the yard or on a walk. Are you feeding your Lab any people food? It is possible for intolerance to a particular food to result in intermittent symptoms of digestive upset, so try to monitor what your dog is consuming. We suggest checking with your veterinarian about this issue.Date published: 2016-10-27Hi, what's the size of the kibble for the high prairie puppy dry food??????
Hello, John! The kibble in our High Prairie Puppy Recipe is barrel shaped and about the size of a pencil eraser. If you have any additional questions about our recipes, please contact us by visiting our website https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/contact-us/.Date published: 2019-03-25My puppy is a little over 3 months old and a little more than 4 lbs. Right now I'm giving her TOA at breakfast lunch and dinner - 1/4 cup each meal. She is eating the entire serving, should I be giving her more food?
Hello, and thanks for reaching out! According to our feeding guide, a 3-month-old, 4lb puppy will need approximately ¾ - 1 ¼ cups of High Prairie Puppy Recipe per day. Please know, the feeding guides provide a recommendation and can be adjusted based on your puppy’s activity level and body condition. To determine if your puppy should be receiving more food per day, we recommend consulting with your veterinarian. If you have any additional questions about our recipes, please contact us by visiting https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/contact-us/.Date published: 2021-03-01my 4 month and 2 month old Olde English Bulldogges defacate about 5 to 8 times a day. is this normal with TOTW? And if not normal what can be the cause?
Hello, thanks for contacting us. It is not unusual for the amount of feces to increase following weaning. As puppies get older a decrease in food consumption should result in fewer, smaller and firmer stools. If you are concerned with the number or consistency of your dogs’ stools, we recommend consulting with your veterinarian.Date published: 2023-03-14How much should I feed my 8 week old german shepherd?
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.

Hello, thank you for reaching out to us. Our High Prairie Puppy Recipe does not contain chicken meal, which is reflected on both the website and the bag. Our on-staff veterinarians indicate lack of appetite can be a sign of not feeling well or some other health issue, and recommend you consult with your veterinarian.Date published: 2021-07-07Pup is 14 weeks old..12lbs. How much and how often do you recommend to feed. Thanks KELLY
Hi, Kelly. We recommend using the feeding guide printed on the bag and listed on the individual product pages on our website. The feeding guide provides the recommended cups per day based on age and weight, but can be adjusted based on your dog’s activity level and body condition. For a puppy that is 14 weeks old and 12 pounds, we recommend feeding them 2 – 3 cups per day. How often you feed your dog is a matter of personal preference, but also depends on your pet’s age. For puppies under 4 months of age, consider feeding 3 – 4 meals per day. As dogs get older, they can be fed less often – for dogs 4 – 6 months consider 2 – 3 meals per day and after 6 months consider 2 meals per day.Date published: 2017-08-15What does globally sourced products mean?
Hello, and thanks for reaching out! 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. We do purchase some ingredients from foreign suppliers such as lamb meal from New Zealand and dried chicory root from Belgium. There are ingredients critical to our recipes (i.e. folic acid and taurine) that can only be obtained from China. We believe leaving out these ingredients would not be in the best interest of your pet. If you have any additional questions, please contact us by visiting https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/contact-us/.Date published: 2022-01-05I the feeding chart posted correct? Feed much less as they get older?
Hello and thanks for reaching out! In order for puppies to properly grow and develop, they require more calories, protein, fat, minerals, and amino acids than adult dogs do. As they mature and their rate of growth slows, their metabolism also decreases. For these reasons, an adult dog will require less nutrients than it did when it was a growing puppy. Please know, the amounts listed on the feeding guide can vary as the recommendations are a starting point. Some dogs may require more or less food than the guidelines depending on activity level and other factors. Additionally, your veterinarian can help you determine the best feeding guide for you dog based on his/her needs. If you have any questions, please contact us by visiting our website https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/#contact-us.Date published: 2019-01-31what is the differance between High Prairie Puppy and pasific steam puppy besides ingredients and percentages are they aimed at specific breeds of dogs? or is it just just preference?
Hi, Terry, thanks for your question. The only difference between these foods is their main source of protein: salmon in Pacific Stream Puppy Formula with Smoked Salmon and bison and venison in High Prairie Puppy® Formula with Roasted Bison & Roasted Venison. Otherwise, both foods contain vegetables, fruits and antioxidants. Either food works for any breed!Date published: 2016-10-31Curious is anyone has had a puppy on High Prairie puppy food and switched to adult High Prairie and the dog has stomach issues? He was weaned from the puppy to adult over the course of a month. Been on just adult for about 2 weeks
Hello, thanks for contacting us. We are sorry to hear about your dog’s upset stomach. Any time you change the diet that you are feeding your pet, it is possible that it may adversely affect the GI tract. Our High Prairie Puppy Recipe is an All Life Stages recipe, meaning if your dog was doing well on that recipe, your dog can continue on the recipe indefinitely. Additionally, if symptoms persist, we recommend that you contact your veterinarian for more guidance.Date published: 2022-08-31My German Shephard male puppy is 11 weeks old, he weighs around 18-19 pounds. I was just wondering how much we should be feeding him, and how many times a day? Thank you.
Hello, we apologize for the delayed response. The feeding guide (located on the back of the bag and on the individual product page on our website) provides the recommended cups per day based on age and weight. These recommendations can be adjusted based on your dog’s activity level and body condition. For an 11-week-old puppy that weighs 18–19 pounds, we recommend feeding 2¼ – 3½ cups per day. How often you feed your puppy is a matter of personal preference, but also depends on your pet’s age. For puppies younger than four months old, considering 3–4 meals per day. As dogs get older, they can be fed less often – for dogs 4–6 months consider 2–3 meals per day and after 6 months consider 2 meals per day.Date published: 2017-09-06
