Southwest Canyon Canine Recipe with Wild Boar is rated out of 5 by 45.Rated 5 out of 5 by Cath from Dog loves it Have fed TOTW for many years. We mix this with Ancient Grains Salmon for the best of both worlds. Nice to be able to find foods without chicken. Good product at a reasonable price, consistent in quality. Never any problems. Also mix with some of the canned foods....The cat also eats TOTW. Actually that is all she eats, and she is healthy for a middle aged cat, and she loves the food. To my knowledge, ingredients are well sourced, and the foods are affordable.Date published: 2021-01-26Rated 5 out of 5 by teddylebear from Taste of the Excellent We've been feeding our dog TOTW for nearly 3 years now and have nothing but positive things to say. The quality is superb as we can clearly see our dog maintain a healthy coat and positive energy throughout his day. He has never had a bad reaction and we do appreciate the company's mission to produce a healthy and balanced meal. The only thing i would suggest is to add more flavors to their line up long term. I'm excited to see their newly released PREY series and hope our dog Teddy will love it as well.Date published: 2018-04-21Rated 5 out of 5 by Robert from No More Allergy Problems Our German Shepherds had serious allergy issues with dog foods.

We have owned boxers for over 19 years. Last year we decided to make a change in the food we would be feeding our newest boxers. We chose Taste Of The Wild. We could not be happier with our decision. Our boxers not only look great but are extremely healthy! We took our girl in this past weekend for shots and the vet mentioned several time how great she looked and how shiny her coat was. Love the product!Date published: 2019-03-13Rated 5 out of 5 by BuddysMama from My Plott Hound is a big fan! We started our big guy on a different food as a puppy. As he approached the one year mark we switched to the adult version of the same brand. He was having none of it! Since Plott Hounds were bred to hunt bear and boar... I picked up the Taste of the Wild Southwest Canyon food. He loves it! When it's dinner time he excitedly sits in his place and waits to dive in. Thank you for this great formula!Date published: 2018-04-06Rated 1 out of 5 by Cami from Made my puppy SMELL BAD! After upgrading to hard puppy food, our baby started smelling foul and rancid like his feces! He was gassy and I could barely tolerate it. The store where I bought it had me change the flavor but it didn't help! I was refunded for both bags, recommended a better food, put on "Switch" and the smell went away within a day in a half! THANK GOODNESS, this food didn't harm our puppy anymore!!!!Date published: 2019-09-28Rated 5 out of 5 by NinjaKat from German Shepherd approved! We recently switched to Taste of the Wild for our German Shepherd. She is a picky eater, but she absolutely loves the Southwest Canyon formula. She prefers beef, and it is difficult to find high quality dog food that is beef-based. She is a high-performance, active dog, and the high protein definitely meets her nutritional needs. We are very happy to have found this brand!Date published: 2018-04-12Rated 5 out of 5 by Augustsky from Our german shepherds favorite! Our girl has been eating Taste of the Wild since turning one and it was such a great transition. She’s now three, healthy and thriving. Her energy level is great which helps know she’s getting plenty of protein in her diet. Her joints, bones, and teeth are all in great condition. & she’s beyond smart! Thanks Taste of the Wild!!Date published: 2018-04-17Rated 5 out of 5 by Athena from Only dog food my dogs will eat. We rescued a Athena about a year ago. She is a pitbull shar pei mix. When she came to us dull coat, underweight and her eyes were very cloudy. Took her in to see the vet they were upset how bad she was. After a few months of eatting t.o.w.. Her coat is shiny and eyes are clear. The vets were amazed how well she is after 3mos.Date published: 2018-04-23Rated 2 out of 5 by lilycat960 from not only wild ingredients In the beginning I chose totw for my puggle who has beef,pork and grain allergys and I have been pleased with it until beef was added to several of the formulas.At first i didnt notice until my dog started to break out in hives,needless to say I will not be feeding him totw anymore since the meats are not all wild.Date published: 2017-09-21Rated 5 out of 5 by lauren20 from Dogs have been eating it for years I have been feeding this to my 4 dogs for about 5 years now.

I recommend TOTW to a lot of people I know that have dogs - all my family members feed it to their dogs as well!Date published: 2018-04-18Rated 2 out of 5 by Mloshark from Dogs hate the flavor I just purchased a bag of this 2 days ago and my dogs do not like the taste of it at all. We have tried other flavors and they love them, but with this they just sniff at it and barely touch it. I would return to my local Pets Supplies Plus but I threw the bag away to put it in my dog food container.Date published: 2017-11-22Rated 4 out of 5 by Spooky from My dog loves it My dog has stomach problems and is allergic to chicken so finding a food the she’ll eat and can tolerate has been hard. I’ve tried a couple of different brands (beef protein) and have had some success. When I started her on TOTW Southwest Canyon, she will eat and her stomach can handle it.Date published: 2021-02-18Rated 5 out of 5 by Jamie from The only food for our picky eater! I love this food so much for my dogs! Our Fable is such a picky eater and we went through dozens of foods before we found this! Not only does he love it, it also doesn’t aggravate his allergies! We love that the food is tested and is so healthy!

Before switching to Tase of the Wild, my dogs were on Nutro limited ingredients grain free and we never had an issue with gas. So I’m thinking we will just switch back to that.Date published: 2019-03-29Rated 5 out of 5 by Jen2019 from Great improvement to overall coat I have a 2 yr old female black GSD that is a very picky eater and of course sheds terrible and has a dry and dull coat.
