My dog is such a picky eater that I have been struggling for years with different foods. I found Taste of the Wild and really loved that meat was the first ingredient and that there was nothing questionable in it. First bite she ate she fell in LOVE and now mealtime is her favorite. Since then I have also added Southwest Canyon Wet food into her bowl as well and I have noticed a positive change in her energy levels and her coat looks better than it ever has. Thank you Taste of the Wild!

    Trust your dog's taste buds to Taste of the Wild, where quality meets flavor! My dog Dyson absolutely loves Taste of the Wild Ancient Stream. From the moment I opened the bag, I could tell that this was a premium dog food. The aroma alone was enough to get Dyson's tail wagging with excitement. The smoked salmon flavor is also a huge hit with Dyson, and I love that it's made with real, whole ingredients that I can trust. I add their canned dog food to his meals once a week which gives him a little flavor variety which he is always excited for.

    Another great thing about Taste of the Wild Ancient Stream is that it's designed to be easily digestible, which means that Dyson can enjoy his meal without any stomach issues or discomfort. Plus, the added vitamins and minerals help to support his overall health and wellness. Dyson still behaves like an active rambunctious puppy and he just turned 8. Overall, I would highly recommend Taste of the Wild to any dog owner looking for a premium dog food that their furry friend will love. Dyson can't get enough of it, and I'm confident that your dog will feel the same way too!

    I’ve been using Taste of the Wild for years. My last 2 dogs loved it! And never had any GI issues with it. My current dog is a rescue, he came on another quality food. But, always seemed to have softer than normal stools. I switched him to Taste of the Wild, and his GI issue is gone! He loves all 4 of his he ancient grains formulas, & also the canned food, of which he gets a spoonful mixed in with the kibble.

    We have raised our pitbulls on this kibble. They are happy healthy energetic and their coats shine so bright. We have fed this brand for over 14 years and have never been let down. Don't let anyone fool you, this is the best bully feed ever. High protein and fat and grain free. My pack absolutely loves the taste and eat their bowls within minutes, I wouldn't feed anything else.

    My dogs have tried several of the dry and wet foods from Taste of the Wild, and we have never been disappointed! All the foods are made with ingredients that I recognize and have meat as the first ingredient, fueling my pups for all day play sessions. They love the taste, and their otherwise sensitive stomachs have never had a digestion issue.

    Been using this brand for all my dogs past and present. Currently my dog enjoys the food. She has even enjoys it when I have to add water for her to enjoy it since her some of her teeth are missing. Good variety and she has never experienced any belly issues.

    Using the canine puppy blend for my dogs until they are 18mos keeps them happy and healthy. Coats are soft, belly aches aren't a problem and their digestive schedule shows they are absorbing majority of it compared to wasting it. Cats are the same way. I use all ages with the feline and they devour it, clean themselves and love me so it must be good!!

    I was surprised to see that my dog loved a reasonably priced dog food of such quality. I did notice a renewed zip in his step, and his fur looks fuller and has a wonderful gloss. I like the way it looks and smells also.

    This is the best food I ever bought... my cats prefer this brand over Blue Buffalo and Science Diet. I love the ingredients and the first ingredient is never a by-product of any type. I would totally recommend this to all animal lovers.
