Pacific Stream Canine Recipe with Smoke-Flavored Salmon is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 194.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Taste of The Wild I have been feeding Taste of The Wild for nine years now to both my Long Haired Chihuahuas and my Min Pins, with out a doubt it is the best food I have ever been able to buy they have thrived on it. There coats are beautiful and since I mix the food using the salmon as a base and then another flavor, I have been able to cut out the omega 3 suppliment I used to add as they get enought through the food. It upsets me to see the negitive comments that seem to fly around right now saying this is the food that is causing problems. I will continue to feed my dogs Taste of the Wild with no hesitation that they are getting the best diet available out there.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from German Shepard TOTW 3 years now We switched to TOTW Salmon 3 years ago for our GSD when he was about 3 yrs old (he was having bad stools (mushy) and his coat was not shiny and itched all the time. After going on TOTW Salmon based product - his stools improved significantly and shiny coat + less itching... but since the recent indigence change we noticed that the stools are bigger/looser. His coat is still nice and itching about the same... so it would be 5 stars if ingredients remained the same. We might start examining other products to see if his stools improve...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Still Loving it After All These Years Our Weimaraner has been eating Pacific Stream for about 8 years now. He still gets excited daily when it’s time to eat. You would think he would get tired of the same food day after day but not my boy. He loves it! I dog sit often in my home & they don’t want their food when they’re here. They smell his and refuse to eat theirs, lol. I end up mixing some of his in theirs to make them happy. Your food has kept his coat shiny & skin allergy free. Not to mention healthy stools. He breaks out with bumps if he eats other brands, like the dogs we sit for. Thank you for making a quality dog food for our boy Gunner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great kibble solution!! Our handsome Chocolate Labrador is not a picky eater and loves just about all foods; However, his sensitive stomach is quite particular. We set out to change food because he was getting repetitive ear infections, his skin was itchy and he was constantly shedding as though it was always summer. We were so relieved at how easily his tummy transitioned to TOW Pacific Stream, without any soft stools. Since switching, ear infections and itchy skin is a thing of the past, and his coat looks fantastic!! Although we have had the Mini Australian Shepherd (the pickier eater) on a small breed food with no sensitivity issues... but once we introduced the TOW Pacific Stream, she eats out of the big guy’s dish and leaves her kibble ~ lol. I highly recommend this food!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best food for Wheaten Terriers We have owned three Wheaten's over the past 35 years and our first two unfortunately did not dine on Taste of the Wild. They both had skin allergies and were always at the vet. Our third dog Bogey dines only on TOTW Pacific Stream and its unbelievable what a difference it has made. No skin problems, tons of energy, great teeth and as healthy as can be ! He is 2/12 years old and loves his Taste of the Wild !!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Stop with adding pea protein A few years back I researched a lot of foods to find one my dogs could eat, due to numerous food allergies. I chose pacific salmon formula. However, over the last year, I have noticed facial itching and ear infections again and could not figure out why. Now I know. The formula was changed and peas were added. Now it is back to the drawing board. At least Other brands had the decency to put a large call out on their food when they changed formulas and added peas. Can't feed taste of the wild anymore.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 2 Great Danes - They love this food! We own 2 Great Danes, they have been eating The Taste of the Wild Salmon Dry Dog food for 4 years now. First started our Male Dane on TOTW when he was a puppy and had puppy acne. The Quality of the food helped to clear up his acne and balance his diet. He has been eating it ever since. Our Female Dane has skin allergies and switched her to TOTW and this helped to balance her outbreaks and provide a healthy smooth coat. We had to get her a slow eating blow so she wouldn't eat the dog food too fast, safe to say she enjoys the taste! They are both very healthy, strong, and fit dogs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from HEALTHY DOGS thanks to this food Our three dogs have been fed only this food every day for over five years, plus my homemade dog biscuits and baby carrots as treats. That's it. Our vet and our groomer always remark on how gorgeous their coats are, how bright eyed they are and that their overall health is so good. I attribute this to lots of love, exercise and GOOD food from Taste of the Wild.

How do we pick which variety will be good for our dog long term.  She is a 6 month old pug and the breeder recommends grain free. We tried Orijen, but it is too harsh on her tummy. 

Asked by: Marty
Hello, thanks for contacting us. Our Pacific Stream Canine Recipe is a maintenance diet formulated for adult dogs and does not meet the nutritional needs of puppies. You may want to consider our Pacific Stream Puppy Recipe, as it contains similar ingredients to our Pacific Stream Canine Recipe and it is an All Life Stages recipe, meaning it was developed to meet the nutritional needs of dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. If you have any additional questions or would like to receive a personalized recipe recommendation for your dog, feel free to contact us by visiting https://totw.pet/contact-us.

Does taste of the wild pacific recipe have Taurine supplemented in the food? My dog is on Canidae Pure sea and loves it, but apparently all these grain free, pea protein foods are lacking Taurine and can be a cause of canine heart disease? 

Asked by: kimberly
Hi, Kimberly and thanks for reaching out. Yes, all Taste of the Wild recipes, including Pacific Stream Canine, are supplemented with Taurine. Currently, there is an investigation into a previously unknown but potential link between a condition called DCM, or dilated cardiomyopathy, and grain-free dog foods. Because taurine deficiency can be associated with DCM, a possible link between diet and the diagnosis is being explored. While no direct links have been made, we recognize taurine as a beneficial supplement and it is included in all TOTW recipes, as previously mentioned. If you have any additional questions, please give us a call. We can be reached at 1-800-342-4808 (8 a.m. - 5 p.m. CT weekdays).

In the Chewy.com website, the description says that this food (Pacific Stream) is going through a transition. What exactly is the transition? Does this have to do with the latest information about the bad effects of peas in dog food?

Asked by: Bill

Previously we offered three recipes in 5-, 14- and 28-pound bags, while eight recipes (dog and cat) were sold in 5-, 15- and 30-pound bags.

At an allergy test done on my dog and it said he has an allergy to blueberries and of course a lot of grains, how much blueberries do you think are in your grain free dog foods?

Asked by: Melply
Hello, thanks for contacting us. 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. If your dog is allergic to blueberries, we do not recommend feeding him any recipes that contain blueberries. You may want to consider our Taste of the Wild PREY recipes, which could be a great option for pets with allergies due to their limited ingredients. Each recipe contains no more than four key ingredients (one animal protein source, chicken fat, tomato pomace and lentils).

How do the puppy and adult formulas differ? I have a 7 month old Siberian Husky who is allergic to chicken. The Pacific Stream puppy formula is the ONLY food I have found that he can eat. He needs bigger morsels now. 

Asked by: Bjfoltz
Hello, thanks for reaching out! We’re so glad your pup is enjoying Pacific Stream! Both recipes are grain-free and contain salmon as the primary protein source, supplemented with vegetables and fruits to provide antioxidants. However, Pacific Stream Puppy was developed with the needs of growing puppies in mind so some of the nutrient levels differ from the adult recipe. For large breed dogs like yours, we recommend feeding a puppy or All Life Stages recipe for the first 12-16 months.

Hi! I've been told that fish dog food makes dogs gain weight. Is that true? We use Wild Boar TOTW & try hard to ensure my dog doesn't get overweight. We would love to change to this for his allergies but are worried fish would make him gain more weight. 

Asked by: Eec23
Hello, thanks for contacting us! Our Pacific Stream Canine Recipe contains the same fat percentage as our Southwest Canyon Canine Recipe and it also contains the same amount of calories per cup (which means the recommended feeding amounts would be the same). Pacific Stream may be a good choice for your dog, as dogs with food sensitivities often do well on a limited protein source diet. We recommend consulting with your veterinarian to determine the most appropriate diet and feeding amounts for your dog, based on his needs.

We have been feeding our dogs Pacific Stream kibble for more than 2 years but the bag we just purchased has lentils instead of garbanzo beans. Why the change?

Asked by: mo70
Hello, thank you for being a loyal Taste of the Wild customer. Due to a poor chickpea growing season, we have replaced garbanzo beans with lentils in our Pacific Stream Canine Recipe. Like garbanzo beans, lentils are a superfood packed with protein, fiber, complex carbohydrates and essential nutrients, which keeps your pet’s digestive system regular and healthy. This update should go unnoticed by your pet and does not affect the nutritional value.

Can I give the adult dry food (with salmon) to a 4 month old puppy, or should I continue puppy food for a few more months?

Asked by: Michelle
Hello, we recommend you talk to your veterinarian to determine the best time for your puppy to change formulas. As a general guide, we recommend feeding puppy food until 10-12 months of age. For giant breeds, between 12-18 months of age is a good time to make the transition to adult food.
