Pacific Stream Puppy Recipe with Smoked 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 smoked 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 perfectly balanced nutrition, this recipe is great for pregnant or nursing mothers and other adult dogs as well.
-
Sustainably Sourced Salmon – Salmon, the number one ingredient in this formula, provides high-quality protein and omega fatty acids for skin and coat health. To help promote sustainable fishing, we use a blend of wild-caught and farmed salmon.
-
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 is easy for small mouths to chew, while the crunchy texture helps keep teeth clean.
-
DHA – This omega-3 fatty acid, provided by salmon oil, helps support brain and vision development in puppies.
-
Egg-Free Recipe* – This formula 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. -

Pacific Stream Puppy Recipe with Smoked Salmon is rated out of 5 by 61.Rated 5 out of 5 by Marcothelab 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.Date published: 2017-08-23Rated 5 out of 5 by Ticky2 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.Date published: 2019-04-08Rated 5 out of 5 by mj1127 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.Date published: 2016-12-30Rated 5 out of 5 by Ppowell 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.Date published: 2020-09-27Rated 5 out of 5 by Carol from My show dogs love it! I have been feeding this recipe to my show and breeding yorkshire terriers. the coats are beautiful & they maintain good weight and growth. I send a bag home with all new puppy owners.Thank you for this great product! Carol LeslieDate published: 2017-02-11Rated 5 out of 5 by JodiB from My Lab puppy LOVES it! My puppy Kubota loves this food!!! He's almost 10 months old, still has a very soft coat, shiny, no skin or ear issues. Very happy with this product and will continue him on Taste Of The Wild as an adult dog.Date published: 2018-04-20Rated 5 out of 5 by Molly from Great food! I have a 9 month old puppy. We adopted her when she was about 14 weeks old. She's had all sorts of digestive issues since we brought her home. She had a large tapeworm when we got her and needed three rounds of meds to get rid of it. We weren't sure if it was that or food sensitivities that were giving her digestive trouble. Gas, loose stools and occasional vomiting... all the time. We tried multiple food brands, probiotics, pumpkin supplements... anything new we tried didn't work or made things worse. I picked up a small bag of Pacific Stream on a whim, since we haven't tried a fish-based food yet. Literally perfect stool the next day. Seamless transition period. She loves it and is FINALLY thriving. This is a great food. I highly recommend if you suspect your puppy has food sensitivities!Date published: 2018-10-22Rated 5 out of 5 by Bella Mia from My dog loves this food! My dog has food allergies and we tried a bunch of other foods - top name brands, and nothing changed - then we discovered Taste of the Wild and after a few weeks he was back to normal, no itching and now after a couple of months on it all his hair has grown back in.Date published: 2017-10-21How many cups of dry food is in a 15 lb. bag? Thank you!
Hello, the number of cups per bag varies slightly, depending on the formula. A 15-pound bag of Pacific Stream Puppy formula contains approximately 68 cups.Date published: 2020-11-30What is the Calcium Phosphorous ratio?
Hi Ruth, thanks for your question. Our Pacific Stream Puppy formula contains 1.3% calcium and 1.0% phosphorus on an as-fed basis.Date published: 2020-11-30Hello, I was wondering if you had heard of any pets having very strong smelling urine while on the Pacific Stream Puppy food? If so, is it due to the salmon? Thank you
Hi, Kristen. We have not had any reports of this food affecting the odor of pets’ urine. Eating salmon has been associated with a change in urine odor in humans, but this hasn’t been studied in pets. Abnormal smelling urine can be a symptom of a urinary tract infection. We recommend consulting with your veterinarian to determine the cause of the odor.Date published: 2017-11-29How much do you feed an 13 month old puppy?
Hello and thanks for reaching out! The feeding amount for a 13-month-old dog can vary based on his/her weight, breed and activity level. You may use our feeding guide as a starting point – this can be found on the side gusset of the bag. It can also be found by visiting our website https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/dog-formulas/pacific-stream-puppy-formula-with-smoked-salmon/. We recommend consulting your veterinarian if you have additional questions about how much to feed your puppy.Date published: 2020-01-19Hi, Are the carbohydrates in this food considered to be low-glycemic? Thanks
Hi, Heather. We use a blend of sweet potatoes, peas and potatoes as the carbohydrate sources in this diet. These are nutritious foods that provide excellent nutrition for dogs. We have not done glycemic index studies on the Taste of the Wild pet foods.Date published: 2017-03-02How is your dog food prepared? Steam extruded? thx
Hello, Robert! Our foods are made through extrusion. The ingredients are combined together and cooked using pressure and heat. The mixture is then shaped, cut into kibble, and goes through an oven to dry. If you have any additional questions about our recipes, please contact us by visiting our website https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/contact-us/.Date published: 2020-01-19Is the weight on the feeding guide the current weight or the weight they’ll be when full grown?
Hello and thanks for your question! Our feeding guide reflects the current weight of your pup.Date published: 2020-01-19Our dogs eat the High Prairie Dry Dog Food. Recently one developed a renal stone which was 85% magnesium (struvite) and 15% calcium phosphate. The vet indicated we may need to change their diet. Which of your products would you recommend to change?
Hi Robert - we are sorry to hear about your dog’s stone! Your dog may need a prescription diet to help eliminate or prevent future stones. We recommend you work with your veterinarian to find the most appropriate diet.Date published: 2020-01-19
