Pacific Stream Puppy Recipe with Smoke-Flavored Salmon

This egg-free recipe* gets all its animal protein from fish, meaning that it’s rich in the omega fatty acids that help keep skin healthy and fur smooth and shiny. Unique flavors from smoke-flavored salmon, vegetables, legumes and fruits in a small kibble size make it easy for puppies to enjoy the nutrients they need for overall vitality. Because of the guaranteed levels of DHA and balanced nutrition, this recipe is good for pregnant or nursing mothers and other adult dogs as well.

  • Sustainably Sourced Salmon

    Real Salmon – Salmon, the number one ingredient in this recipe, provides high-quality protein and omega fatty acids for skin and coat health.

  • Species-Specific Probiotics

    Species-Specific Probiotics – Healthy digestive and immune systems are vital to the overall health of your pet. Our proprietary K9 Strain Probiotics are developed specifically for dogs and added after the cooking process to ensure viability. Each pound of Taste of the Wild provides 80 million live, active cultures that help support healthy digestive and immune systems.

  • Small Kibble Size

    Small Kibble Size – Small kibble size is easy for small mouths to chew, while the crunchy texture helps keep teeth clean.

  • DHA

    DHA – This omega-3 fatty acid, provided by salmon oil, helps support brain and vision development in puppies.

  • Egg Free

    Egg-Free Recipe* – This recipe is made without eggs or egg products, which may be suitable for dogs who have a sensitivity to eggs.

    *The facility in which this food is made also makes food that may contain other ingredients, such as grains and eggs. Trace amounts of these ingredients may be present.

  • Antioxidants

    Antioxidants – Vegetables, legumes and fruits, including sweet potatoes, peas, tomatoes, blueberries and raspberries, provide nutrients that help support your dog’s overall well-being, while guaranteed levels of zinc, selenium and vitamin E support the immune system.

Pacific Stream Puppy Recipe with Smoke-Flavored Salmon is rated 4.9 out of 5 by 331.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really pleased with this food First food our lab was able to have without suffering from diarrhea and some vomiting. After visiting 2 different vets and an emergency trip to the vet and switching dog food brands multiple times due to vet recommendations I decided to try this food as it was grain free. Immediately eliminated his issues. The vet wanted us to switch to a different foot but I'm glad I tried this one at half the price of the Rx food. Food is still a little pricey but worth not getting up 4-5 times a night to take him out. Just wish it was available in my area in 30lb bags as I can only find it at one retailer and only in 15 lb bags so Chewy to the rescue.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best dog food for labs We’ve always fed our dogs Taste of the Wild (grain free) and our veterinarian suggested we not feed our dogs a grain free diet anymore because of the potential yet rare risk of heart issues. So we switched to Purina One Pro Plan, and almost immediately both of our dogs were constantly scratching and chewing on their legs. Plus they both got ear infections. Our puppy had diarrhea for weeks and it almost instantly went away when we changed back to this brand. Their skin, coats and digestive systems are so healthy on this food. Especially the Smoked Salmon Grain-Free. Thank you Taste of the Wild!! Kim and Reis Ennis + Violet and Nova

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Our lab and poodle love it! We started our lab out on pacific stream after I researched out no grain foods and found this to be one of the best and at a reasonable price compared to other top brands. He was doing great on it but our vet wanted us to change food to something with some grains because she felt he was gaining too much weight. Well he became very gassy and would get sick once in a while so after 6 months we switched back to the pacific stream and never looked back. Needless to say we have a different vet and now a standard poodle and both are doing great with this food. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a top quality food for their pets.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great results and he loves it I switched my now almost 9 month old lab/golden mix puppy to Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream Puppy Formula from a chicken based food a couple of months ago because of some digestive issues and itchy ears. Both problems seem to have cleared up nicely. Also, while he clearly did not love his last food, he gobbles this food down happily. His coat is super shiny, and he is growing appropriately for his age. We have been so happy with Taste of the Wild that we plan to transition him to Pacific Stream Canine Formula when the time comes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better than the rest We had trouble from the start getting our field English Springer Spaniel to eat from the moment we brought him home. No matter what we did he wouldn't eat the food that our breeder had been feeding him. However, we did notice he liked going after our cats' fish based food. The first one we tried caused vomiting and diarrhea even after several weeks. Finally, we switched over to TOTW Pacific Stream and it has been a huge difference. He eats regularly, his stools maintain firmness, and no vomiting at all. His overall health has been great and plenty of puppy energy. While the cost is certainly a factor it is worth the peace of mind of having a happy healthy dog.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The only thing she will eat! Started her out on pacific stream puppy, as she is allergic to chicken ...as she got older we tried a couple other salmon formulas from other brands. She just wasn’t having it! So we put her back on Taste of the wild Pacific Stream ...she has beautiful skin & coat and stays very lean, but most importantly still seems to love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Couldn’t be any happier I have been feeding my 5 month old European Doberman - Buddy, the Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream for puppies and he’s been enjoying every single bite of it. He has a very sensitive stomach and really just couldn’t eat anything else. And boy have I tried. This isn’t very accessible to me (live in Switzerland...), but it’s totally worth the hassle. No more diarrhea for him! He’s finally getting to a good weight and his fur is as shiny as it can get. Thanks!

Does the Taste of the Wild Puppy Formula with Smoked Salmon have any chicken or egg product (disguised as any other name) in this product? My 4 month old MalShi has shown severe itching to scrambled eggs (and possibly chicken too).

Asked by: MalShi
Hello, our Pacific Stream puppy formula does not contain any chicken or egg product. We do include added flavor (listed as natural flavor in the ingredients) that is derived from hydrolyzed chicken. Hydrolyzed 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 still adds extra flavor for your pet.

I don't see taurine listed as an ingredient. Does this food contain taurine?

Asked by: Arthur
Hi, Arthur. 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 0.70% methionine-cystine (the necessary amino acid precursors for taurine synthesis) for all life stages formulas. This formula contains 0.98% methionine-cystine on an as-fed basis.
