Rated 5 out of 5 by from Our dog loves it We recently got a Shih Tzu who is about a year old. The food the people we got him from gave us with him was making him sick so I ran down to my local Bosley's and bought him this. I switched him right away as I figured he couldn't feel much worse then he already was and within a few days he was doing much better. He no longer has gas or tummy issues. His coat is also better and he has put on some weight over the last few weeks which is excellent as he was rather thin when we got him. He also appeared to have a skin condition when we got him which has also cleared up so I figure it was also caused by his previous diet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exceptional grain free food for your dog! Soon after adopting our almost 2-year-old black lab German shorthair dog Gunner, we realized he needed to be on a grain free diet. After and extensive inquiry, Taste of the Wild Sierra Mountain Canine Formula with Roasted Lamb - Grain Free food was the most idealistic choice. Not only were the ingredients what we were looking for for his healthy lifestyle but it was grain free as well. This dog food would provide him for what he needed for great overall health as well as being one of the best values for its price. Five years later, Gunner continues to thrive on this product of lamb, vegetable & fruits and antioxidants that have made him strong and healthy. Thank you Taste of the Wild!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Something Changed I also agree with the other review "From Hero to Zero". We have LOVED this food since we switched a couple years ago & now since we got our last bag our dog has once again broken out in hives, itchy skin rashes, upset stomach, not eating regularly, trouble going to the bathroom & some unexplained vomiting episodes....all the same problems we had BEFORE we switched TO this food. Unfortunately, since I have seen this exact same thing happening to many others I have to think it is something in the formula.......please consider taking a look at these problems & test the food. Something has gone awry...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My dogs thrive on this! We have been feeding TOW for at least 10 years, to 4 of our personal dogs and 10 or so fosters. I've worked in pet food sales and nutrition for years and always recommend TOW to my friends and customers for the quality food and reasonable price point (no, I did not receive kickbacks, I just LOVE the food!) They were getting the High Prairie, but the protein percentage in Sierra Mountain fit them better (no longer puppies, but still very active), and I mix it with the Pacific Stream for that salmon-y goodness. Taste Of The Wild has kept my dogs, cats, and every foster animal (a dozen or so dogs and hundreds of cats) healthy and active!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simply the best! I have a food sensitive Labrador and have struggled to find a food for her that doesn’t make her itchy or cause gastric issues. My search is over now! Not only does Taste of the Wild eliminate her skin and tummy issues, but she also thinks it tastes great. She’s overly excited about meal times now that I’ve made the switch. I loved her shiny coat so much that I’ve now switched my cat over to TOTW too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My dog eats better than me It all started when she was a baby. We bought her blue seal food. We thought we were doing good for her. I may have tried one other food but no matter what she ate, she always got sick. I have no idea where we got the idea to try grain free but we found taste of the wild at Paris farmers union and decided to give it a go! Needless to say, we've never looked back and no more upset belly!! She even gets excited when her package comes from chewy.com. She can smell right through all of that packaging. Thank you so much for making such an awesome food for my steel gut/not so steel gut lab!!

She loves it and looks forward to both her breakfast and dinner -- never leaving a single kibble in her bowl. I have great confidence in the product and have always found the quality to be exceptional.

If my questions didn't meet your guidelines that's fine. I didn't ask to be put on the website. I need an answer for the wellbeing of my dogs. Does your lamb formula have high levels of lead, Arsenic, and heavy metals?

Asked by: worried2
Hello, again. We’d like to clear up any potential concern and assure you that our pet food is safe. We work with a nationally recognized, independent testing facility that holds the ISO 17025 certification as well as biological and chemical A2LA certifications. The facility conducted tests on select samples submitted by Taste of the Wild for findings on levels of arsenic, mercury, cadmium and lead. The samples as submitted resulted in “not-detectable” findings for the metals tested.

When I first used this food, there were no legumes. I rechecked ingredients because one of my dogs has developed itchy skin. Surely, dogs aren't able to process legumes to use it as a source of protein! Unacceptable.

Asked by: PatB
Hi, Pat. Thanks for reaching out to us. Our Sierra Mountain Canine Formula includes peas, which are a legume. Peas have been included in the formula since it launched, however, the primary protein sources in this formula are lamb and lamb meal. Legumes are a great source of protein, fiber and carbohydrates. The amino acids provided by the protein in peas can be utilized by dogs the same as they would be from the other ingredients in the food.

Was the formula recently changed? The size of the kibble of our most recent brand was lighter and smaller than any other bag we have purchased of this formula.

Asked by: Diane
Hi Diane. Recently, we increased the amount of egg product, a quality source of protein, in our Sierra Mountain Canine formula. The dried egg provides a highly digestible protein source that provides all of the essential amino acids that dogs need. Due to the natural variation in the ingredients and cooking process, the color and size of the kibble varies occasionally.

Asked by: Rosie
Hi, Rosie. The feeding guide, which is printed on the back of the bag and listed on our website, provides the daily feeding recommendation based on age and weight. These amounts can be adjusted based on activity level and body condition. Because we don’t know the age of your dog, we cannot appropriately advise on the recommended feeding amount.

I have an 8 year old Rottweiler showing early signs of kidney disease. Feeding Hills Ideal Balance for low protein as recommended by Vet. Research has me questioning this and would like your recommendations.

Asked by: Jerry S
There has been a lot of research suggesting the amount of protein isn't problematic, it's the type of protein. Meat protein is not taxing on the kidney as plant proteins. Also, chronic dehydration from kibble feeding is very hard on the kidney. Raw foods are best for renal dogs. If this is not feasible, a high quality meat-based kibble like TOTW is an excellent choice. Soak the kibble in water until completely hydrated to increase water consumption. Best of luck!

When I measure out and weigh 1 cup of food, I measure around 140g. But the calorie counts in kCal/kg vs kCal/cup indicate that 1 cup of food should weigh less than 100g. So what’s up?? I feed 2cup/day (weighed at .28kg/day). How many calories is this?

Asked by: ToddG
Hello, and thanks for reaching out. Due to discrepancies when measuring volume, studies show that weighing pet food is considered the most accurate method of measuring. For this recipe, 0.28 kg would be equal to approximately 1,011 calories. While an 8oz cup of Taste of the Wild food typically weighs about 100 grams, factors such as kibble density size and kibble size can affect this measurement, in addition to the variations among utensils used for measuring volume.

Is this product good for med size breeds as well as small breeds (kibble size) and is it also a good choice for seniors as well as adult age dogs

Asked by: 1DEBBY
Hi, Debby. While Sierra Mountain Canine Formula is appropriate for small-medium breeds of all ages, we would recommend our Appalachian Valley Formula, which was specially formulated for small breed dogs. Appalachian Valley Small Breed Canine Formula with Venison & Garbanzo Beans is a great option for small-medium sized breeds as the smaller kibble size makes it easier for your dog to chew and digest. Plus, it is a more energy-dense formula with higher protein and fat ratios so your dog will get the nutritional requirements it needs in smaller portions. Additionally, Appalachian Valley is a maintenance diet appropriate for senior and adult dogs.
