Taste of the Wild Reviews

My vet suggested TOTW due to excessive gas issues, After just one feeding, he started whining, panting, over drinking, diarrhea, acting out of sorts. We gave no more to him, next morning we gave him chicken and rice, the diarrhea went away, but still over drinking three days later, constant panting. He has a vet appointment in the morning to get bloodwork. This food needs to be checked asap before it ends up killing a pet. Get ahead of the problem, check the food! I will go back to his regular food until I can find something else, better. Please don't wait for a death!!!

Taste of the Wild Prairie - Dear TOTW, I just ordered the large bag through Amazon for $48.99 delivered on March 2, 2018. The dogs were very excited for the smell of the box when it was delivered, BUT neither one of them is eating it and one started vomiting this evening after eating a small amount. I am guessing something is wrong with the dog food and I will need to switch to something else quickly. I have not had this problem before. Dogs are two toy poodles. Production Code information Best By November 2018 7316 1DH1107 GAA 14:40337. Please advise ASAP. I have to trust my dogs on this. How do you recommend a refund. SINCERE THANKS for looking into this!

Since adopting our dog 8 months ago, we have been using Taste of the Wild High Prairie Canine Formula. Last month our dog was having diarrhea which turned into blood. After a vet visit and numerous tests as well as $$$ later, all test came back normal. Now I am convinced that this is food related. Our dog is medically grain free and has a very sensitive stomach so we were hopeful when this food was recommended to us by friends. Our dog who is only 3 should not be experiencing this.

We had a very hard time picking food for our 3 year old Boxer Bella. She has sensitive stomach and after 1 year of trial and error, 1 cup of Taste of the Wild Fowl and Lamb each was the only food that would agree with her stomach and taste buds. Going on three years with Taste of the Wild food and wouldn't she's a healthy and happy member of the family... Thanks for the awesome product!!!

We adopted our dog Penelope from a local animal rescue where they exclusively fed Taste of the Wild brand dog food. She was there at the shelter from early 2015, until mid 2016, when we adopted her in May 2016. We continued feeding her the exact diet, Taste of the Wild, with varying flavors up until she became ill. I would always try to get her the salmon or fish variety, but really tried all the flavors in a bit of a rotation – never had a problem for years. She was a vibrant, healthy, happy dog.

When we got our old English bulldog puppy, Gunner, we knew that bulldogs can have a sensitive stomach, and we also wanted to feed him right from the start. The breeder gave us a small amount of the food they had weaned him to, and my, was he a gassy little thing. After doing a lot of reading we decided to try Taste of the Wild High Prairie puppy food. Grain free, venison, bison, beef, full of antioxidants... Well, let's just say that our handsome boy is no longer gassy, loves his food and our vet can't say enough good about his health. I think I can say he will be with Taste of the Wild for life.

Finally found a Dog food our dog loves and we can trust. Our 8 year old Husky mix is a very picky eater. After trying other premium brands, we found that she seemed to like Taste of the Wild. We buy the Bison and the Lamb formula in cans and the Prey Angus beef dry food. It gives her variety and quality nutrition. Plus we like the probiotics in the dry.

I have found Taste of the Wild to be an excellent food for my dogs. I have never had any issue with the product and my dogs have thrived on it. Before settling on Taste of the Wild I did try other brands but did not have the same results as I have have had with Taste of the Wild. I currently have an English Mastiff and a Boxer, in the past I have had English Mastiff's and have never had any issues. I recommend to anyone looking for quality dog food.

I have a 4 year old Black & Tan Coonhound/Bloodhound mix, growing up. We tried several different dog food brands, as he had some allergies that 'could' be food related. When we switched to Taste of the Wild grain-free his allergies dropped in frequency and severity, and he does not seem to tire of this food, like some others. We would recommend Taste of the Wild to any pet owner that wants a high quality, grain-free food - Bogart really likes the High Prairie Formula.

I was excited when I saw that TOTW was coming out with these new formulas. I am extremely satisfied with these new products, and my cats who seem to turn their noses at other LID formulas really love these. The beef seems to be the bigger hit but they like the turkey as well. Thanks a million. Great ingredients, and great customer service.

All 3 of our cats Damien (Russian Blue), Lilith (Domestic medium hair) and Kitty (Domestic short haired Tabby) absolutely love Taste of the Wild. They don't graze on this item like they do will many of the competitors dry food. One sitting and taste of the wild is devoured. One thing that this product does better than any other is giving our cats the softest and silkiest coats EVER!!!

I have three VERY picky pups. I've now tried all dry varieties of Taste of the Wild dog food. All three have loved them all! They even eat the dry bits as treats! Very nutritious, high protein, made in USA and not any more expensive than other brands of lesser quality! I am very pleased. My dogs are very pleased. Win! Win!

I bought a 30lb bag of Taste of the Wild Wetlands Grain-Free Dry Dog Food on Jan. 23 and my dog became very ill after a few weeks of eating it. She started having horrible diarrhea, especially at night, and after several weeks she start eating less and less of it until she refused to eat it and would whine, like it was making her tummy hurt. I feel horrible because I feel like I was poisoning my sweet dog! I threw the whole bag away and switched to another brand, and now my dog is happily eating again and feeling fine. Never again. I created this account to warn others. DO NOT BUY TASTE OF THE WILD! I have contacted the company with my concerns, and they need to issue a recall ASAP! This is an abomination.

My 9 and 12 year old Boxers have been on this food for approx. 6 months. I purchased a new bag of food on February 1st. On February 3rd my 12 year old Boxer vomited in the morning after eating, I didn’t think much of it at the time other than he had an upset stomach. Later on in the day at their next feeding, he refused to eat his food, or drink water, I even offered boiled chicken and rice. I became concerned because he has always been very food motivated. I called my vet, they suggested giving him ** and scheduled an appointment for the following day if he still was not feeling well. The following morning he ate his boiled chicken and rice, I canceled the appointment because he seemed better, later in the day he had his evening feeding of TOTW. That evening he became very ill, vomiting, diarrhea, panting, fever and he was in obvious pain.

I have been feeding my hunting dog for awhile with the High Prairie Formula and it was great but this last batch I bought made her have severe diarrhea, so bad that she exploded in her crate 2 nights in a row. I had to switch her to Natural Balance because I have lost trust. I'm hoping she will be ok. Maybe check the latest batch? I can provide Production code if needed.

Been feeding my two dogs TOTW since last June. This past month both dogs started shaking, acting strange, their back legs hurt. They cannot jump on the bed, and both are very healthy dogs. I dunno if you have a massive contamination. But I'm beyond mad... my one dog can barely walk. And now my other is showing similar signs. Seeing all these reviews you better stop with the transparency garbage... and figure out what the ** is going on. I am NOT buying any more of this food. And if I end up with a ton of vet bills because of it, and it's your line. You guys better find a way to fix this. I'm so mad right now. I try to feed my dogs the best of the best. And now they are both very ill.

I had been feeding my dogs (9 yr old Bloodhound-Jamine and 6 yr old Newfoundland Border Collie Mix-Lambert) both TOTW Bison & Venison for the first time February 24th from the feed store (production code 7322330 TDH1111C1N WSK 10:20). My dogs love deer meat and their usual food comes mainly in chicken or beef, so figured they would enjoy this one. Bloodhound loves any food, but my Newfy mix is VERY picky. First day or so of mixing regular dog food with the new TOTW dogs seemed to enjoy. When just giving TOTW my Newfy ate it good the first day or so, then would barely eat it, totally didn't eat his evening meal two or three nights in a row, he gets soft food for his morning meal. Thursday night (3/9) he would not touch the food, and wanted to just lay around. He had been to daycare that day, so he is usually tired after that but is always ready to eat.

If I could give this food a no star it would be more accurate. Because I’m beyond livid with doing my research on this food. Because not only did it affect my dogs it has affected me too. Back in The end of October and November our dogs and we have 6 all healthy and different age ranges were fed this food. We had gone months with no problems until one of our dogs got finicky with the food. She usually goes finicky so I thought it wasn’t a big deal. Then my other dogs wouldn’t eat it. All the sudden all the dogs had explosive diarrhea and it was basically water. I took them off it for a couple of days them eating another food. I threw the bag of Taste of the Wild out. I got another bag thinking it was a fluke. Fed my dogs again and in two days we were back where we were by this time they were not doing well. They had lost weight, seemed very depressed, lethargic. I had a gut feeling it was the food.

Taste of the wild Pacific stream canine formula - I adopted my wolf dog mix a week ago, I had already bought food to transition him to from his old food, he was pooping fine before, solid and brown. After adding a table spoon of the salmon taste of the wild kibble, he started having diarrhea with a significant amount of blood in it. After reading most of the reviews I haved concluded it's the TOTW food. I will stop buying immediately. He's been sick for a few days because of it. Last night he threw up. He's 2 years old and should not be this lethargic.

2.5 year old Labradoodle vomiting after eating Taste of the Wild. I have fed Taste of the Wild High Prairie Venison and Bison (TOTW) to my dog since I brought him home at 8 weeks. I have never had a problem and my dog has really liked his food. Earlier this week, he started vomiting his kibble and urinating excessively. I took him to the vet who performed several blood and urine tests. His test results came back fine, but I have stopped feeding him Taste of the Wild because I have read that many other dog owners have experienced the same problem with dog vomiting after eating TOTW. I acknowledge the vomiting may not be related to his food but I am not taking chances given what others have posted in recent weeks.

I have been feeding my dog TOTW High Prairie for 8 years with no problems until now. He quit eating, was vomiting & diarrhea. It got to the point where he could not keep water down. After many tests at the vet, it was determined that everything appeared to be O.K., and they got him on medications to stop the vomiting and diarrhea. I made some homemade food for him that started him eating again after a week. He dropped 12 lbs. He also started to eat his TOTW again and within a day was back to vomiting. I have him back on his meds and am starting him on a new food. I just purchased this food at the beginning of February. Is there a problem with TOTW.

I’ve used TOTW Pacific Stream for almost 3 years. I made a switch late last year to a different brand and was unhappy with the macros. I switched back to TOTW immediately after...but to the Wetlands brand. My dog has fallen ill since. He is thirsty all the time. He pees constantly, he has lost weight and is weak. His is lethargic and flush always. He developed reddening in armpits and tips of ears. No meds help. My vets have been aware but went in other medical directions, we thought nothing regarding his food. I just awoke to my well trained - house broken dog trembling after having a massive attack of diarrhea. He gets no table scraps and I witnessed him have diarrhea out in my yard 2x in a row prior. Now seeing these reviews and I am certain the food is killing him. Please recall your food!!! I want my money back and for our dogs to NOT be poisoned! So upset reading everyone having similar experiences in last few months with no recall.

I have been feeding Taste of the Wild for 11 years and this last bag of Bison purchased on 3/3/18 has made my German Shepherd sick. She's been throwing up, having diarrhea, and she acts like she's dying of thirst. I mentioned to my mother what was going on and she told me about the similar complaints she's read. I will be discontinuing Taste of the Wild immediately.

Both of our dogs, a cockapoo and a maltipoo have been on Taste of the Wild for years. About 3 months ago we switched them to the Big Prairie Canine Formula. The little one started skipping meals recently, then the cockapoo got diarrhea, on Friday night they both started having diarrhea and vomiting. Saturday morning they were admitted to the hospital for 3 days. Tests were run on their stools and blood. The doctors could not find anything from the results, but they had switched them to Science diet. They were put on antibiotics, and the cockapoo was on iv fluids for 3 days.

Food allergies happen. Sucks that my dog was affected. My dog was subsequently put on additional antibiotics after the Baytril. Now he is on Cefpodoxime 100mg 1xdaily and it seems to be addressing the areas of his belly that he initially scratched and looked the most irritated. The heat rash appears to be diminishing but only a few more days will tell. I’m sure the food is fine for most other dogs, I just bet mine is sensitive to certain ingredients. Poor pup

I just switched my 14 month old Australian Shepherd to the TOTW Roasted Lamb. She ate it the first two days, the third day, she didn't want to eat it, and last night she ate a little, then became very sick. She began vomiting, then had mini seizures. Upon finding this page, it appears that this has been an issue lately. Needless to say, I will be switching her food and throwing away the new bag of TOTW. I really think with all of the complaints I am seeing, it may be time for a recall.

I’ve been feeding TOTW to my dog for 6 or 7 months but my last bag from Chewy has apparently made my dog ill. After his evening meal, he starts crying from pain when he moves and it seems to get worse as the night goes on. He seems normal by the morning and then cries again after his evening meal. Several scary comments about what this food has done to other dogs and I’ll be changing his food tomorrow. Unfortunately, I have a large, unopened bag from Chewy that will be difficult to return.

I have been reading about dogs getting sick eating Taste of the Wild. I have been using it on both my German Shepherds for 8 years we have had 0 problems but I would like to be informed if any come up.

Our Giant Schnauzer had been eating this food for 4 yrs with no problems. We feed her and she gobbles it right up. But in February 2018 the last two bags we have bought she will not eat. We add soup or shredded cheese for her to eat. We don't have the bag anymore because we pour the food into another container for better keeping. What can we do??? We buy the food at Fleet Farm in Ankeny Iowa.

I have been feeding TOTW to my dogs for close to a year. I have a 1 yr old GSD & a 10yr old Corgi. Mid Feb when I purchased the Sierra Mountain both dogs became sick refusing to it. I purchased a small bag of Pacific Stream. The same thing occurred. Both dogs displayed similar symptoms of pancreatitis. Sadly, I feel the need to switch to Orijen with a Ziwi topper. I have lost confidence in TOTW food.

A friend on facebook said TOTW was making a lot of dogs sick so I called TOTW and talked to their vet, Dr Heldman. Instead of just posting negative reviews I encourage you to do the same. With the amount of food they sell they get a super low number of inquiries, it's like saying if 40 people in a town of 60,000 all drinking the same city water are likely sick from the water. That's crazy. When I asked about the severity of the illnesses posted here I learned that almost all ultimately have been shown not to be from the food after all, which includes those that are marked "resolved", "resolved outside of consumer affairs". So for whatever it's worth, I trust the company and the food. If your pet is sick, take it to your vet instead of posting here and blaming the food

I have 8 dogs. 5 Labs and 3 mixed dogs. I foster for several rescues. We have been feeding our dogs TOTW for over 7years. My dogs love it! My dogs have had fewer trips to the vets and little to no digestive problems. When they do have a stomach problem, TOTW food is the last thing I suspect to be that problem based on our successful experience. My friend has a ranch where she has a doggie daycare and 8 of her own dogs. She has been feeding her dogs TOTW for over 7 years also. We order our food together and use 12- 30lbs bags a month. No problems and all our dogs love to eat TOTW and are very healthy (ages: 1- 14).

Dog been on TOTW for years. Now she won't eat, throwing up and very bad bloody diarrhea. Second time she has been to the vet for this. Never thought it would be the food but after reading It has to be food.

Bought a bag of 13.6kg Taste of the Wild - Salmon from a retailer in Malaysia, my older husky been having it for years and it was my number one choice of brand. I recommend it to everyone till last month I started to face challenges. My younger pup loves food a lot, she starts to have diarrhea (she had TOTW since pup). Every single day I been collecting soft poo. My bigger husky will throw up after she eats. They aren't as happy they used to. I asked animal communicator to ask my big husky is she feeling well. They say my bigger husky is having issue in her tummy. (Booked next week to the vet for ultrasound) Truly upset.

We have a 2 1/2 year old Pit mix and ever since we tried a bag of Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream Canine Formula w/ Smoked Salmon he constantly seems thirsty. Also we had him on a good routine of when we feed him so that we can let him out before we go to bed. Since he has been eating the TOTW he has not been able to go the whole night without having to be let outside and sometimes multiple times. Also when he gets me up he runs to his water bowl and drinks like he has not had water in days (which he has not we keep his water bowl filled all of the time). He apparently loves the taste of it since he eats it all and seems to enjoy it. I just really hope that the food is not causing any issues with him. I think after he is done with this bag we will switch back to his previous food.

Our allergy-prone dogs did well on the lamb formula until this current bag we bought (Feb. 2018). The round brown nuggets are now flat and orangish. Appears maybe more sweet potatoes added? Our dogs won't eat it which is really a bummer as hard to find lamb formulas without ingredients they're allergic to. Sad to say bye bye to what was a good dog food (for us). Apparently others have been having issues way before this with the other formulas.

This is the second time we had to return the bag of TOTW dry dog food to our local pet supply. Beforehand, our 5 yrs old mini pin was already showing signs that he is not liking his food anymore, changed it to a different flavor, he still would not eat it unlike before that he used to like this stuff. The first return, the bag is sealed as usual, until I opened it and found cobwebs inside. I immediately closed it before any bugs starts crawling out of the bag. We showed it to our supplier and he said he will take care of it and replaced it with the same brand, hoping it's just an accident.

I've been buying TOTW for a year now. I recently switched to the salmon bag along with the wet food. Our dog became ill. His stomach got huge and hard, started hiding, lethargic, crying in pain, bloody diarrhea. We brought him to the vet. He spent 2 days on an IV. Vet thought, cancer, or pancreatitis, tumor. No masses on the scans. Blood work was relatively normal. He had a tremendous amount of fluid build up in his body and organs. This is the 5th day and he has hardly eaten anything. Just a few tablespoons of food. After reading all of these comments of dogs being ill after the last bag of TOTW, I truly believe it's the food. I will be changing his diet immediately.

My 2 dogs, both Wheaten Terriers have been on Taste of the Wild, for almost 2 years. Recently when I purchased a new bag, the young one got extremely sick, diarrhea in her crate, throwing up. After taking her to the vet to rule out everything, I put her on a bland diet. A day later my other dog was having the same issue. At this point I assumed maybe they had the doggie flu or a bug. So after about 5 days on a bland diet, I started to mix in the kibble. as soon as I reintroduced the food. They had the same reaction. That’s when it hit me, it has to be the food. I had never had an issue before with Taste of the Wild and it scares me to think what went wrong where it seems there are quite a few other dogs experiencing the same thing.

My 20 month old healthy Cockapoo started vomiting and having diarrhea in the house and in her kennel the day started a new bag of Pacific Stream Canine Formula Smoked Salmon. After 24 hours I took her to the vet who ran a numbers tests and could not find a cause. My dog is doing better after having been injected with fluids, given anti nausea medicine and a different brand of food. My other Cockapoo who ate from an a different bag of TOTW food did not get sick. I have been using TOTW for 2 dogs in 4 different flavors for about 6 years and this the first potential problem I have had. I saw reviews from other show. Had sick dogs recently from the same salmon TOTW food and would like more information. I bought the med size bag (about $25) at Chuck and Don's in Wayzata, MN on Feb 17, 2018.

My 10-month-old English Mastiff puppy has been on TOTW High Prairie Puppy since she came to us from the breeder. I bought a new bag on January 30. Since then, she has vomited several times, and won't eat her food, even though she's whining for food when we eat, so I know she's hungry. After googling I've found several people saying the same thing about their dogs in the past few weeks. I think it's time TOTW did a recall and figure out what's wrong with this food that's making our babies sick.

I have been using TOTW Bison and Venison for many years for my 2 German Shepherds. An orthopedic surgeon took blood from my 12 1/2 year old and said it was perfect. He was shocked that it was that good and also that his hips were great for a shepherd of that age. My 1 1/2 year old weighs 112 lbs and is in great health. I have never had any problems with TOTW and they both eat it right up.

We have a 21/2 year old yellow Lab, who grew up on TOTW puppy and dog food. He has been eating the roasted buffalo/venison. We feed him 2 cups, twice a day. Normally he just goes crazy for his food. We purchased a new, large bag of grub, for the first 3 days, he wouldn't touch it. He is eating it now, reluctantly, and only about half as usual. He seems healthy. But left wondering what is wrong with this bag of food? I'll have to do some digging to find the bag. His appetite hasn't gotten less, just not interested in his grub.

We have been feeding our four dogs TOTW for many years now. I have always had complete confidence in the brand. However a couple of dogs are having issues with vomiting at present. I plan to make some homemade food and try to put them back on TOTW in a week. What disturbs me is I can't seem to find specific information about the origin of the ingredients. I'm wondering this, is there a change in how TOTW procures its meat or meal? In all fairness to TOTW I don't know that it is their food causing the vomiting. God knows what our dogs get into, we live in the Mojave Desert and they are out on their own a lot. But this is why I would like to know more details about the ingredients.

After trying multiple dog foods, many trials and tribulations, TOTW has saved us! One of my dogs has ulcerative colitis and massive skin problems/allergies. In addition to the other problems mentioned, he was allergic to chicken protein as well we believe, an ingredient heavily used in commercial dog food. At one point I had resorted to making all his dog food myself, a pricey and time consuming proposition. But there was no other way to control what he was getting so we could find the trigger/s and help the poor guy out. My homemade recipe consisted of ground beef, rice and vitamin and micronutrients packets.

I make my own dog food weekly, with a base of bone marrow broth, ground meat, liver, carrots, spinach, broccoli and brown rice. Tucker loves it and has kept him healthy for the past 3 years. He is an active border Collie that I take on 2 hour exercise jaunts: walks, ball throwing and frisbee fun every day. Recently I decided to add 3/4 cup of kibble to his homemade food to make it stretch further and to give him added nutrients. I bought Zignature kibbles in January and everything was fine. No health issues whatsoever.

Many years ago, I started feeding my pack of dogs Purina ONE until I finally got educated about dog foods. Switched to Blue, which was ok but something about my dogs seemed "off". Then I adopted a little terrier with GI problems and had to try many different foods, with and without grain. All to no avail. Then I tried TOTW and what a difference! His intestinal problems were so much better. Even my other dogs looked better, healthy body mass, shiny coat, smaller and healthier stools. A win-win! I do have to stick with lamb or chicken though, the others seem to make my dogs gassy. (And you don't want THAT when you work at home on a computer with three farting dogs, one a pit bull, under your desk!)

Very pleased with the professionalism of this company! Very quick response to my review and eager to resolve any issue!

I have 2 labs and have fed them 2 bags of this food, one is a picky eater, and had never been too excited to eat it, but he did, just thought he was fussy. Now he has not gone near it in almost 3 days and has started acting very strange. He seems frightened, and is trying to hide in strange places, trembling, and panting... He also has not been drinking water. The other dog has had a couple issues where he has been panting, drooling, and also very clingy, which is odd for him. I have a vet appointment this afternoon, and will not feed them anymore of this food! I have read similar issues on this site, and I hope that Taste of the Wild starts looking into this matter.

A year ago we switched from the bison/venison to lamb because of food consistency issues with the bison. I would buy a bag of that and it would not resemble in color, smell or size the previous bag and my Goldendoodle would start having diarrhea. I complained to the company which reimbursed me for the bag, but thought switching to lamb we might have more product consistency as a simpler protein and less unusual food compared with bison. My dog has been on the lamb for about a year with no issues. I recently purchased a new 30lb bag of the TOTW lamb, and upon opening it again found the wrong size, color and smell than the previous bags. This last weekend I did try it with my dog and he immediately developed diarrhea. I stopped and took the bag back to the retailer.

We have been feeding our dog Taste of the Wild for many years but over the past three weeks he has been very ill - vomiting and diarrhea (almost all liquid). After testing, vet still doesn't know what the issue is but has recommended we switch food. Very worried after seeing other posters' comments about similar pet reactions - all very recent. Is the company exploring the problem??

Death of my 1 yr old German Shepherd after eating TOTW for 4 days - Received a new bag of Taste of the Wild High Prairie Grain-Free Dry Dog Food from Chewy.com and fed my dog this for 4 days. He did not seem eager to eat the afternoon serving like he normally does, but I pushed him along. He played, acted normally and had a normal bowel movement prior to bedtime. I woke up at approx 2 am and he had vomited his food x 2. He seemed to be OK, and settled down. About an hour later he was up and moving around, seemed very uncomfortable, then vomited up a white frothy liquid. Called the ER vet and they ruled out bloat.

We have been feeding our dog and cat TOTW now for six months and just recently my dog went to the vet because he was throwing up. We didn't know why until I researched TOTW online and found so many other owners with the same information. Before I went online and found these reviews about the food, we had noticed that he wasn't eating his food that had been sitting around for a couple of days. We thought he was holding out for table scraps. We were supplementing with another brand of canned soft food because we thought he had something wrong with his throat because he was also coughing every so often. We would try to feed him the dry food and he would not eat it and would spit it out.

Honestly I don’t know what to think - I have a 4 year old chocolate lab who has been eating TOTW for probably over a year now with no problems. Helped him lose over 15 lbs and gave him an amazing coat since I rescued him. However, the last week or so he has developed head tremors/seizures, has been slightly more lethargic than usual (typically active all day even after running for hours), and has pooped in the house (very odd for him unless he’s not feeling well). We aren’t sure what is causing his tremors, but after reading these reviews I am going to take him off the food immediately and switch to something new (just finished a bag. Started in Dec and bought a new one yesterday).

I had been feeding TOTW dry cat food to my 2 cats for over a year with no problems. Last week I opened a new bag and noticed a few days later my cats were not eating it like normal (normally they can’t wait for meal time and just gobble it down) and then the throwing up began. All over my apt this weekend... ugh! They’ve had no contact with any other cats or any household cleaners, etc or anything else that could make a cat sick either. They completely refused to eat it at all anymore, so I bought another brand yesterday. I know there is nothing else in my apt that could’ve made them sick, so it had to be TOTW. I can’t afford to get the food tested, but I’m positive that is what made my cats throw up as they were fine before I opened the new bag of it.

Taste of the Wild Bison/buffalo - Been feeding my dogs this for years. The past two bags I noticed their stools were mushy. Had my vet deworm them and they both did ten days of **. I did call the company after reading others were having a similar problem. She was going to pass it along to their vet. I never heard back from anyone.

I was feeding Taste of the Wild dog food to my four dogs. This dog food has something in it that makes dogs sick and irritated. At first I didn't realize that it was the dog food doing this to my dogs. I was thinking I spend $48 approximately every two weeks on - what I thought was a good dog food, only to find out it was a terrible disaster for my dog family. The breeds involved are: One German Shepherd, two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and one Chihuahua. My German Shepherd was itching uncontrollably. The dog was in a constant state of itching his entire body. He looked very slim for a full bred German Shepherd. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and Chihuahua lost so much weight they started to look like skin and bones.

My sister bought a big bag of TOTW Salmon puppy food in December 2017. Shortly afterwards her puppy wasn't eating much and when she did, she would sometimes throw it up and always have bloody and watery stools. She took her to the vet twice thinking she had the flu the first time, and maybe a thyroid problem the second time. All tests came back negative. The vet put her on the Royal Canin prescription formula and she got better within a couple days. I bought her left over 16 # of TOTW for my puppy. Within 2 days he had terrible diarrhea, was lethargic and didn't want to eat his food. It's been about a week that he has been like this and I think it's the TOTW. I gave him a new food today, and he gobbled it up. Now that I am reading these complaints I see that our pups are not the only ones with this problem. I think there needs to be a recall.

Not only do I love this food, so have my 3 dogs & 1 Cat. :) Our second Doberman aged 3 months (Euro blood on mother's side, he's going to be 110+ lb grown) & my 10 yr old APBT... First Euro Doberman did great so I switched APBT too. It also Recently passed away so now it's fed to my Doberman pup, the 10 yr old APBT & my Maine Coon mixed 3 yr old kitty. ALL have thrived on this food!! Aaand it's easy to switch between the proteins for the Doberman. Definitely recommend this food for any aged feline or canine. ;)

We have been buying TOTW for many years for our older dog. Within the past 5 weeks we have noticed that his skin is very itchy. Our 1 year old pup within this same time is now vomiting yellow bowel and she has had bad gas and diarrhea. Yesterday her diarrhea had blood in it. My husband started researching reviews and found many recent negative ones, to the extent of death. He has said before this he thought they did something different to the formula. And now we have stopped feeding them both the TOTW. It is so expensive and I just bought a brand new bag earlier this week.

Like everyone else that has posted, I ended up here after my pet, Benne, a Japanese chin, got sick while eating TOTW. I googled TOTW. I too was convinced his illness was from the food, however I was wrong. He was ultimately diagnosed with Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency. I talked to Dr. ** at TOTW several times throughout it all. She was great. I can't say thanks enough for caring, talking to me on the weekend, listening to me almost breakdown because I thought Benne was going to die, talking to my vet, etc. I learned TOTW sells over 60,000 bags a day (!) and there are 250 or so negative posts here over the last year. Do the math, that's not very many, and yes of course not everyone posts and most people with no problems ever think to post a positive just because.

Food (2nd 38lb bag) made dog sick. First bag was fine, 2nd causing gurgling stomach and runny poop. After several days of this, dog won’t eat it! Not sure what they did but I certainly won’t ever buy again!

We have used Salmon TOTW for over a year and the last three bags have changed our dogs. Our 13 yr old dog has severe dry skin, significantly more than any seasonal issue. Our other 1.5 yr old dog is vomiting regularly and won’t eat some days, bloody stool + gas. I thought it was something she had gotten into, but based on these reviews it is apparent that it’s the food. This is very saddening to read that others have had this issue and TOTW is doing nothing! Will never buy this food again and we should all get our money back, plus vet bills. Very bad company!! I will start at our local pet shop, but we should stop this company from selling more poison to our pets!

I have a senior pug who is typically in great health other than an occasional ear infection. He's lean (walks twice a day), about 20 lbs and visits the vet regularly and is updated on all shots. He is on his 3rd bag of TOTW roasted bison and roasted venison version. After a day or two after feeding him he vomited 3 times which looked like full dog pellets and thick saliva. Although I tossed the receipt, I purchased it in Woodland Hills, CA at Bone Sweet Bone. I thought maybe he just ate too fast because he's very food motivated and loves to eat. I fed him the food two more times (he eats twice a day). Now he has runny, loose and sometimes yellowish stools... Sometimes more brown. I'm taking him out several times a day and sometimes yellowish liquid just drips from his butt.

We have a 1 yr old English bulldog and he was on Taste of the Wild Puppy right from the beginning when he came home from the breeder. In late Dec 2017 he out of the blue had terrible diarrhea and that went on for 3 days and it became bloody! Our breeder who is also a vet assistant called us and said stop feeding the food. They had had 6 dogs on the same food with the same symptoms. We spent a couple days mixing food and switched to the smoke salmon Taste of the Wild. We just got out 2 bag and now we are on day 3 of our dog throwing up and this morning it has blood in it!

I have been feeding Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream for 3-4 years now and I love what it's done for my dogs. Their coats are shiny, never overweight, and they loved it. After just getting a new bag recently, my dogs have diarrhea. My one dog refuses to eat it. They're both on meds to help with the diarrhea but it's not helping much. We did just adopt another dog also and his stool was fine up until being on this food entirely. I'm disappointed that it's most likely the food as I've used it for years with no issue.

Our 7 year old pit had 1/2 serving of the Taste of the Wild Fowl. We usually feed him pinnacle duck and sweet potato. Didn’t have time to get to the pet food store so picked up a bag of this. For dinner I mixed 1/2 cup TOTW and 1/2 cup regular food and by morning bloody vomit. And a little later after that bloody diarrhea. I immediately discontinued the feeding of that product. Too much of a coincidence. Well here we are 3 weeks later and same problem so he’s going to the vet.

Taste of the Wild Roasted Lamb made my dog very sick. I have a 14 year old Black Lab who has been healthy for her age until last December of 2017 when she began to have extremely liquidy diarrhea. After numerous trips to the vet, putting her on a rice and chicken diet and taking every medication to help her, I finally decided to take her off the TotW and switch to another Limited ingredient food. It's taken about two weeks but she is finally starting to get back to her old self and her poos are beginning to look like what they should be. I am so disappointed in TotW because I have been recommending their foods for many years to friends and customers alike.

I had been feeding my dogs Taste of the Wild for years. Then my older female dog started pooping blood. I took her to my vet and she was diagnosed with colitis. He asked me what I was feeding her and I told him Taste of the Wild. He said the company had been sold to another company and the quality had gone down. Then he said he had recently seen 10, yes 10, dogs with exactly the same problem as mine! That's pretty definitive evidence that the food is no longer healthy.

Our Vet recommended that we switch to Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream. I was a little apprehensive due to the cost but our 13 year old lab has never had a shinier or softer coat. Her eyes seem clearer and she really does have more energy. Highly recommend the product to all of our friends!

I have fed my dogs Taste of the Wild dog food for the last 4-5 years. My fussy dog would always eat it. I purchased a 30 lb bag last week and she ate it once, got diarrhea and vomited, and now will not touch it no matter how I "dress it up." I first thought she was being stubborn and wanted only treats, but she expresses no interest in it at all. She is going on 5 days of not eating her food. I decided to check to see if others were having issues, and lo and behold, found this site, with lots of complaints just like mine recently. This has prompted me to go purchase a different brand of dog food. I do not want my poor dog to be sick or starving. I paid almost 50.00 for this bag, have another partially empty bag, and have a limited income, and cannot afford to go buy more food right now. I believe something is wrong or changed with this food because my poor dog will not touch it. I would like others to be aware of this.

The last two bags of food I bought my dogs have been avoiding, we thought they were bored with the flavor. Usually they scarf it down readily! There was vomiting last night and I just looked up this site. I have to say I'm very shocked at what others are reporting! The Pacific salmon and the bison were our brands. I just bought a brand new bag of lamb and it is going back TODAY. I'm so outraged. These dogs are my children. Please do the right thing and recall it before more dogs are affected!

We have 4 year old miniature Australian Shepherd who we have fed Taste of the Wild to exclusively for past 2 years. He was in perfect health, active, no issues -- UNTIL one month ago. He suddenly became disoriented, lethargic to point of not being able to move. (Of which I have video) We were mortified and brought him to vet. Vet was extremely concerned based on his appearance and was very worried he was failing. Vet ran full gamut of tests/blood work (cost of $400) and everything came back negative.

Have two Bernese Mountain Dogs - purchased via same local breeder. TOTW highly recommended from her and so, for the past 6 years (1 dog is 6 yrs, 1 dog is 3 yrs), they have been on TOTW Lamb & Rice dry kibble. Absolutely no problems! HOWEVER... over the last 6 months, we have inconsistent issues. 1 bag - no problem. Next bag, purchase from same vendor, dogs get loose stools and lots of flatulence. Tried switching vendors, ordered a bag from 1, then next from another, and same results. The food even looks different - sometimes more rounded kibble and darker, sometimes more "flying saucer" shaped and lighter. SAME bag, SAME label, and the price? Well... we're used to paying more than average and okay with that... but now. REALLY having difficulty continuing to purchase.

I love Taste of the Wild. I recently purchased a bag last month the Buffalo and Bison (yellow bag). My dog has had liquid poop since the 6th. He’s in horrible condition and it started as soon as I fed him out of this bag. Reading other comments I feel there should have been a recall or something.

I purchased Taste of the Wild dry cat food and wet cat food for the first time thinking that it would be a very healthy alternative. After I feed my cat half a can of their wet food (he mainly licked up the gravy not so much the chunks) he got very sick within 2 hours of eating the wet food. He threw up his food and has foul smelling diarrhea. I tried feeding him another brand of wet food I have on hand and he ended up throwing that up as well. Seems to have a good bout of food poisoning. He didn't seem to get sick from their dry food, but I still returned everything to the pet store and got a different brand of cat food. I would not recommend Taste of the Wild cat food to anyone, ever.

I have two young boys, Pesto and Ted. Pesto is a golden retriever who got fat on air, while Ted is a standard poodle who could eat 5 cups a food a day and still lose weight. Finally, Dr. Heldman suggested Pacific Stream and I’ve never looked back. My boys love the taste and both look amazing! This food is an amazing quality for the price, and as a college student, I couldn’t be happier with how much I get for my money! My boys have had absolutely zero health problems and I will never feed them a different food!

When I came across this site about TOTW dog food and read the reviews I was shocked. I was a breeder for 30 years with many Champions and a Veterinarian Tech for 40 years. I have used many dog and puppy foods including a 2 year stint of RAW. I also sent my puppies home with 5 pounds and a recommendation to continue to use. I have used TOTW Pacific Stream for 9 years. Even though I am not a breeder any longer, my 3 dogs have thrived on the kibble. The coats are beautiful and stools nice and firm. I did try the canned once and did not like it, made their stools runny. I recommend this food to people all the time without a problem.

We recently bought a Goldendoodle puppy from a breeder, and when we brought him home we thought he just stunk from being in close quarters with other puppies. We gave him a nice bath but he still just had this gross odor about him. It was like oozing from his pores. It wasn't his breath or his mouth, just a really bad smell all over. We've never had this with a dog before. I started to read up on Taste of the Wild and with all of the negative reviews I decided to switch out his food. As we've transferred to less and less TOTW, he started smelling better almost immediately. Now that we are through the transition he doesn't smell at all. Never buying that food again.

Started feeding Taste of the Wild dog food 1 cup Taste of the Wild and two cups of regular food. My dog got runny poop so I quit feeding Taste of the Wild. It was a big bag so I'm out a lot of money. If she doesn't get better she'll have to go to vet. She is one of my kids. Hate to see her suffer.

My 5 month old puppy and 2 year old dog both dread eating this brand in the last 2 months. Now my 10 year old indoor cat acts as if she dreads it too and her stool smells like burnt hair. I have been buying this brand for 2 years now and it seems odd all of my pets are acting different with it, most of all my cat. I switch up the proteins often and mix in half and half the first few days too. It just does not seem to be working for us anymore.

I have been using the TotW brand for about 6 years now with multiple animals. All the animals that I have had have acted the same way that many other people downing the product has mentioned for a approximately the first week but done very well after. I have asked my vet and other vets and this product is highly recommended by them but most can't afford the product so they don't offer it. I have seen where people said they were going to get Blue Buffalo instead but yet it is their parent company and has had multiple recalls yet no recalls with TotW since 2012. People this product is very high in protein and your animal will eat less if not half of normalcy and will have loose stools for about a week because of the protein levels but it will go away. Do better research before you just buy something and unaware of what will take place. Talk to actual people who have used for a while and they will inform you of what will take place.

Our nine and a half mixed breed has a very sensitive stomach. It doesn't take much to get her stomach upset. We switched to Taste of the Wild dry dog food (salmon) about a year and a half ago and have had no problems. In late December of 2017, we bought another 30-pound bag from Chewy.com. Since we still had some leftover food in the airtight container, we rotated it so the old food would be used first. Well, about four days ago the old food was used up and she began eating the food we purchased in late December. It has been four days and she now has the worst case of diarrhea that we've ever seen. This has been going on for a couple of days now and we were at a loss as to what was causing it. Nothing has changed in her diet.

With tears in my eyes, my shepherd also recently passed as she was losing weight, throwing up yellow bile. We have been feeding her TOTW (salmon) for years, but recently she just DID NOT want to eat the food. I cry at the thought of her dying could of been the food. :(

After nearly 8 years of our dog eating Taste of the Wild kibble, the bag we purchased in October 2016 caused our dog to have vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, fatigue, massive hair loss, anorexia, 15% loss of her body weight and lack of interest in eating. We have spent nearly $2,000 in vet bills with 5 opinions seeking a turn around in our dogs health. All other conditions were ruled out including cancer. We are now 2 months in to this trial of finding new dog food and restoring her health. I have been in touch with TOW veterinarian Alexia ** via email and texting. Initially, she was apologetic, which then turned dismissive suggesting that our vet may have missed the diagnosis and not offering any other restitution. We will never use this company's products again and I am doing everything I can to keep other loving pet families from using it as well. What a terrible experience this continues to be.

Taste of the Wild did contact me after I logged the experience of purchasing a bag of cat food that my cats wouldn't eat. They sent a refund check, and I purchased a new bag of their cat food with it. This bag is being eaten by my cats no problem, just like the previous bags were. Hopefully, the bad experience was a one-off. Their response was good, and I will give them 4 stars as it’s not filet mignon of the cat food world, but still good quality and a good value.

I purchased a bag of TOTW cat food for our two indoor cats about three weeks ago having read great reviews on Amazon but boy am I kicking myself now! Both kitties have been acting oddly and not wanting to eating the food, even when properly mixed in with their old, and there has been frequent loose stools both inside and outside their litter box the last few days.

My 10 month old large breed puppy was thriving until we switched him to Taste of the Wild. We have gone thru a half a bag and it should be gone by now. That's how much he does not want to eat it! His poop smells horrendous, not solid. Yesterday he started puking yellow mucus. He is getting rough skin patches, again, too, which had cleared up when we were feeding Blue Buffalo and Earthborn. Two weeks on Taste of the Wild has been too much. He looks at me and whines when he looks at his dog food. We want our money back!!!

I've never had an issue with this brand of dog food. All 5 of my Shiba Inus eat this and love it. I have a 5 month old and the rest are over 2 yrs old... all have never had any issues eating this brand. They love it and are doing amazing on it. I also am a breeder and use Taste of the Wild canned and puppy for all my puppies and they have all grown up very well on this. I changed to this brand from Blue Wilderness because mine were having issues. I love this brand of dog food.

I have been feeding my 2 cats and dog Taste Of The Wild for several years. With the past few months there came an increase in vomiting from all my pets and I did notice a foul smell from the cat food. I threw it out (not soon enough) and bought a new bag. My cats and dog have been reluctant to eat the kibble. One of my cats became so violently ill that I spent about $600 on vet bills for diarrhea and vomiting. Test after test ruled out any bowel obstruction/visible cancer/etc.

My 7.5 month old girl has been on a diet of 50% ProPlan med puppy and the rest a mix of raw foods, since she was weaned. I've given her treats of Ziwi Peak and K9 Natural Tripe topper as well. She's not ever has upset stomach, I'm surprised with such a varied diet! On Sat 20th Jan, I purchased TOTW salmon puppy, trying to do the right thing and move her to a really good kibble. I did a lot of research, but didn't find this site unfortunately. I transitioned her slowly, from Sat with no other change in diet/worming or stress, little by little. I noticed soft stools, but accepted that it may be part of a change. On the Wed, I came home from work to diarrhea. So I went into, stop feeding and start managing this with a bland diet mode. Taking note of water intake and micromanaging what was being emitted (and her mood/other signs). I then found these reviews...

When we first started using this food 1-2 years ago, our dog loved it and did great. In the past 6 months there have been a few bags that he would refuse to finish and not eat very much of (had to mix in wet food to convince him to eat a lot of times). This past month has been especially bad with him having diarrhea and vomiting the past few days anytime he would have any of the food. Initially we weren't sure if it was the food or not or if it was because we then tried to switch him to another food in case it was. However, after reading the multiple recent complaints from people with similar experiences, I am now certain it was the food that was making him ill. Given our inconsistent experience over the past 6 months and now this severe recent illness, we will never be buying this food again. I don't think this should ever happen but this food is way too expensive to have this many issues with it.

I purchased a bag of the above dog food from Chewy.com which I received that week and began feeding my 3 small dogs. The week before Thanksgiving my 10 year old (30 lbs) Phoebe got bloody stool and diarrhea. I thought she was having a reaction to her flea medication. She died within 3 days. In the 2nd week of December, my 2 year old (8 lb) Fuzzy got bloody stool and diarrhea. We looked online and saw the complaints for Taste of the Wild dog food. I started feeding Fuzzy and my 7 year old (14 lb) Mollie chicken and rice immediately. It took some time but Fuzzy recovered and finally had normal stools. Mollie lost most of her hair and has scaly skin which I am dealing with.

Gradually Swapped out Bulldog food out to TOTW Bison and immediate reaction, runny poos, lumps and bumps all over his head and stomach. Fears confirmed after reading this thread. We’re in here in the UK and order through Pets at Home.

I went to the vet today to figure out why my dog is 100% fine except vomiting lately, but ran across this thread stating others were having the same issue!!! Omggg shes always had ToTW but I'm going to the store immediately for a different brand.

I landed at this site googling TOTW Pacific and am horrified to see my suspicions confirmed. There is something very wrong with this new (?) formulation. The only reason I went to this product is that the ingredients showed no flaxseed, which can make my dog very itchy and sick. And now my dog is experiencing diarrhea and periodic vomiting. I threw the bag out and went back to the food I had him on until December this year (supplier quit carrying last summer, but I found locally). It's expensive but as I have always suspected, you either pay more your dog's food or you pay a vet.

Have been using TOTW for my puppy since we got her 20 months ago. Got a new bag in December 2017 and she didn't really want to eat it. Her stomach was doing flips and her bowel movements runny. Didn't think much of it for a while because she can sometimes be finicky with food and I saw her eat poop a couple of times so I assumed that was what her problem was. Just yesterday she started having seizures and we are staring at potential death or at the very least medication for the rest of her life. I guess I cannot prove it yet but after reading all of the recent complaints with bags purchased around the same time I am feeling like it is this food. I will be following up with TOTW as more evidence comes to light.

I have been feeding my bichon/shih tzu TOTW for 3 years now. I went in to a well known pet food retailer here in Phoenix, AZ and I asked an associate about the new food TOTW is selling called PREY. I also told the associate I had been feeding my dog TOTW for the last 3 years. The associate said to me "I think you need to know that I received an email from my Manager that said there are reports of serious health issues with dogs eating TOTW, including death". I was shocked. Then I Googled and found this site and it sure seems what she told me is true. I am now switching brands.

We just buried our 10 year old German Shepherd today after a week's worth of severe diarrhea, vomiting, and a complete refusal of his food. We have fed this exact food for the past couple of years with little to no problems and loved how wonderful all of our dogs' coats felt and shined. The days of constant scratching were gone so we’ve sworn by this food and recommended it to everyone... It’s with much appreciation that I even write this, however it’s the only logical answer to what has happened to our dog especially considering since our dog passed away yesterday we now have 3 other dogs with what seems to be the exact diarrhea.

I had been using TOTW Dry Dog Food for about 1 year when I started having problems in October 2017. I have two Springer Spaniels, and both, who had loved TOTW, suddenly started to become shy around the food, with a complete loss of appetite and didn't want to eat it. First it was one of the dogs with loose stool, diarrhea and vomiting, and less than a week later had the other dog with the same symptoms. Because of my high regard for TOTW, initially I thought the sickness had been brought on by treats or garbage on the street, but when I withdrew the treats and the second dog began to show the same symptoms, I immediately changed out of the food (after having the dogs stay at the vet for dehydration). I am waiting for these messages to stop, to switch back to TOTW, and check every couple of weeks, and to my dismay, more messages keep getting added. I am in the Dominican Republic.

I have been feeding TOTW to my Kai for almost 4 years (Pacific Stream) and have never had an issue. I just purchased a bag last week and Kai has had diarrhea and has vomited as well since eating this bag. I will be contacting customer service tomorrow and taking him to the vet. I'm just extremely disappointed because I have been so satisfied with this brand/food for my pets... But seeing as in how multiple people are currently having this issue I'm assuming it's the food. This bag was purchased in Orlando, Fl.

I bought some cans of Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream Salmon to feed my puppies. I opened the can and smelled it. It was so foul I gagged and nearly vomited due to the foul smell. I am positive that if I fed this to my puppies they would all be dead. I have used Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream Salmon dry food in the past with no issues but I will not longer buy or trust this brand. The label Best by Jun 29 20 59XSM2-H 2119.

Starting in December 2017 my dogs have been hesitant to eat their dog food. One of them will flat out refuse to eat a few times a week. I have two middle aged Shepherd mixes and they've been eating this food for years. Did the recipe change? What happened? I've had to take them to the vet and deal with a great deal of dog vomit and diarrhea. I'm very upset about this. Guess it's time to find a new dog food. Looks like a lot of other people are experiencing something similar.

My two labradors have been on Taste of the Wild for many years and my dogs have done extremely well after being on homemade food for many years. I purchased a bag Of the TOTW Bison/Venison in December 2017. Within a few days my yellow lab had severe uncontrollable watery diarrhea. I contacted my vet who told me to put her on chicken and rice. I immediately changed her diet and she recovered within a day or so. Subsequently this morning, my black lab who has remained on the Taste of the Wild food, has developed the same severe watery diarrhea. The only common denominator is the food. I will be changing his diet to chicken and rice today in hopes that he recovers quickly as well.

Although it has now been a while since our incident, I thought I should share my story too. We got a new puppy in April, who had been fed Royal Canin by the breeder, which we continued for about 6 weeks. I then decided that I wanted to give her a superior food, grain-free, high protein etc, and started doing research. I decided on Taste of the Wild as our dog trainer stocked it, and it seemed to be nutritionally appropriate. I bought two bags of the puppy varieties from our local stockist. Despite slowly switching the foods over a period of about 10 days, our girl had diarrhea, mucousy and bloody stools, vomiting, was lethargic, down and unhappy. We decided to keep her on the food for a few weeks to see if it settled, as it is apparently common for puppies to experience more problems switching food than adults, however it NEVER settled down, even after a couple of days on boiled chicken/rice then slowly back onto the food.

I've been feeding my black lab TOTW Sierra Mountain Dog food for 4 years and have never had a problem. In December 2017 I purchased a bag from Chewy.com. Shortly after opening the bag my dog got diarrhea and he was vomiting. I took him to the vet and they put him on antibiotics and advised me to give him a bland diet of chicken and rice for a few days. After the bland diet he got better and stopped having diarrhea. When I switched back to the food he got diarrhea again. My sister's dog also accidently ate a little food from this same bag and got diarrhea.

Sierra Mountain Dry Dog Food - I’ve been buying Taste of the Wild for my boxer for the last 4 years. She’s prone to allergies and this food was working really well for her. Bought a new bag two weeks ago and suddenly she’s nauseous often, less of an appetite and losing some weight. She’s had hives and bumps on her head and back which I recognize as an allergic reaction, so I removed all treats and all she was getting was TOTW and water. Her back was covered in red lumps and she was shedding like crazy. It gets worse within an hour of eating TOTW. I took away her food and gave her an oatmeal bath and some ** and let the reaction stop, and have switched her food to another brand and she’s fine. Something definitely changed with this food recently, really disappointing as it used to be great.

I changed from Acana to ToTW in August due to cost and recommendations from fellow canine handlers and my local dog community. My Lab/Golden mix and Golden did well until starting the last bag purchased in early December. My young one has begun having loose stools and my 4 year old has horrendous gas (top & bottom). At this time, I do not see serious health issues and will be changing back to a more reliable & healthy brand of food. These are working canines and I cannot endanger them by feeding questionable formula food.

We've been using this dog food since late August. All was fine until the bag I received in November. I woke up to vomit all over my dog's bed and on the floor. (80lb husky) Trip to the vet thinking it was something bizarre he ate. Still couldn't point my finger on it. Trip back to the vet yesterday because when I touched his stomach he growled in pain. Inflamed intestines. Cause my hmmmm not 100% sure but the vet kept saying diet. Still didnt understand because this food has been great so far. So I'm doing research and stumble upon this website. And wow. Now I know it was definitely the food from the bag I purchased in NOVEMBER 17. I called to report my dog's sickness from the food and of course they have "tested" the food before distribution. Pretty sad that all of us pet owners are saying the same thing! They need to do a recall!!! Never purchasing again.

I have been feeding my English Bulldog this food (Pacific Stream Salmon Grain Free) for years with no problems. In December, his severe skin allergies returned that he hasn't had since a puppy came back with a vengeance. I contacted TOW and asked about possible ingredient changes. Yes, a change from garbanzo beans to lentils. That is ALL the email said. I am so upset. Are dog food companies required to label changes to ingredients? My poor dog!!!! He is 9.5 and has hives everywhere!!!! I am livid. Now I have to find yet another food. I do not recommend this company because of their lack of information and keeping ingredient changes a secret which can cause horrible problems in dogs with severe allergies. :(

For the past year my JRT has been grain free due to allergies. I've had her on TOTW Pacific Stream (Salmon) since about early last January without issue. Like other reviewers have mentioned, I bought a bag in November 2017 and after a week noticed the same issues. My JRT was lethargic (which at first I chalked up to age since she's 14), had very little appetite (she would eat enough to get by, but not empty the bowl over the course of breakfast/dinner like she had done with other brands), and had loose stools. I've switched her to Merrick's Gluten Free and will be keeping an eye on her for any new symptoms that come up. I'm not sure if this is just a case of a bad mass produced batch or a decline in TOTW's quality; but I know I'm not going to risk my dog's health waiting for TOTW to sort themselves out.

I have been buying TotW for many years for my 2 dogs. I bought a bag of the Venison formula on December 13th. Both dogs seemed to be experiencing less healthy bile movements for about a week. This escalated early morning on December 23rd when one dog had several serious diarrhea accidents in the house. I took my dogs with me while running errands so that I could let them out of the car every 15-20 minutes. The serious diarrhea continued throughout the day, and the normally very excited, hungriest dog became super lethargic and had no appetite. I got her to eat rice at about 9pm that night. Around 2 am, she threw up the rice and then continued to vomit consistently throughout the night -- her diarrhea and vomit were pureblood by morning.

We have three dogs and our Bichon kept having severe diarrhea, mucus and blood in her stool on and off on a regular basis for months. Vet visit revealed nothing in particular. We finally figured out that she was sometimes getting into the food we buy for our Pit in the middle of the night: Taste of the Wild Roasted Bison and Venison dry food. It was when she ate the Taste of the wild she would have bloody diarrhea by the early morning that would last 1-3 days. This is not specific to one particular bag or purchase but the brand/flavor in general. Even though our Pit seemed fine with it we decided to switch out with a different brand and haven’t had issues with the new food.

I am currently in contact with TOTW. I have been feeding my dogs TOTW Pacific Stream for YEARS with no issues. Bought a new bag in November, and not long after starting it, my female bulldog became VERY ill, lethargic, stool like water, no appetite, discomfort. We took her to the vet and found her pancreatic numbers raised. We started bland low fat food. Her littermate stopped eating kibble, too and was given the same diet--I figured he was jealous of the fancy food she got. He developed constipation and vomited bile when I tried giving him the kibble. We threw out the bag and contacted COTW, who said they'd check things out and refund the cost. They never called back.

I've been feeding my 2 1/2 year old husky/coonhound mix ToTW Pacific Stream Canine Formula with Smoked Salmon for about a year now. A recent bag (Oct 2017 order) that I purchased through Chewy.com seemed to be a questionable bag. There were no issues with the packaging, but the food had a bad smell that was not consistent with past bags. My dog threw up and had diarrhea for a couple of days. I ended up throwing the bag away and opening up my Nov 2017 ToTW shipment. The Nov 2017 shipment smelled better and Lucy hasn't had issues since.

My dog has always eaten TOTW and has never had an issue. I bought a bag of TOTW Southwest Canyon and she has had awful diarrhea. Stopped feeding it to her, 24 hour fast, then did boiled chicken and rice for a day (solid poops afterwards) and switched back to her food and the diarrhea started back up. This bag I bought at the end of NOV. Not sure if anyone else has had this issue or not.

My 11 year old has been on Taste of the Wild Prairie for years with no problems. Two weeks ago she ate her morning meal and 3 hours later was quivering, shaking, lethargic, are running a fever. Took her to the emergency vet who ran several tests, fever of 105.3 and white blood cell count 1100 and septic. Had to keep her there for more tests, her symptoms did not improve and she was kept on an IV another day for more tests. She did not survive. With all the process of elimination tests there was no explanation why within 3 hours she went downhill so fast. No other health issues ever. I'm not saying it was Taste of the Wild but I'm surely suspicious and have to come to my own conclusion this is the only thing that makes sense to me.

Bought Taste of the Wild Wetlands from local merchant and my Shepherd loves it. Went and bought a 30 pound bag from Amazon and within 2 days my dog now has severe diarrhea. Seeing several other reviews of others having the same experience within the last week. I'm not sure if there was some change they made in the product, but I will not be purchasing again!!!

My review of this product is based upon having many dogs for nearly 50 years. In general, our dogs have always been part of our family and have lived long, healthy, trouble-free lives. Over the years our selection of dog food has changed as we have learned more. That brings us to this review. We ended up with Taste of the Wild Pine Forest Canine Formula by researching ingredients and nutritional composition. One of our German Shepherds seemed to have an allergic reaction to the protein and/or grains in the foods we were using. We had used Science Diet, Iams and Eukanuba for decades with our dogs with absolutely no issues. This dog needed something different.

Recent batch of TOTW Dog Food Pacific Stream made our husky sick. Our husky has been on TOTW for years now and has done well. However, the most recent batch we ordered from Amazon in November made our dog very sick within 48 hours of her switching to the new bag of food. She was vomiting and refused her food which never happens. She always eats her breakfast and dinner as soon as the food is in the bowl. Took her to the vet, no temperature or other symptom indicators besides the vomiting, malaise and not eating. After a few days of homemade chicken and rice, she seems to be back to normal, but it was very scary to see her so lethargic and not wanting to eat. There must have been a recent formula change or some sort of contamination in their batch of food, but we will not be buying this food again. Just for reference, we live in the UK, but we have fed her this food both when we lived in the US and the UK.

I have been a buyer of the Wetlands and High Prairie Taste of Wild for the last 3 years. Recently my youngest and smallest dog started vomiting and has diarrhea. Now both of my other dogs a middle and larger dog have the same symptoms. By the time my largest dog got sick the smallest was doing better until I returned her to the TOWHP. After reading many other recent reviews I am taking my dogs off of this food and trying another. The dogs have not been so sick that they stop eating but the urge to defecate and the runny nature of their feces is enough for me to try something else besides homemade batches of cooked chicken and white rice which they are all on currently. Would like to know more from other users of this dog food.

I have 5 dogs and 4 cats. For the past 7 years I have been feeding my dogs and cats Taste of the Wild dry food. On 4/17 I took my 13 year old Himalayan cat to the vet after he started to have very loose stools with a horrific odor, he also had trouble walking. After medication nothing improved and I thought it was because of his age. This Nov. my dogs started passing gas with the same horrific odor. Since I work in the animal industry I had customers mention to me about their dogs passing very foul smelling gas. When I asked what they were feeding their dogs they said Taste of the Wild! I switched my dogs and cats to Merrick dry and all the foul odor stopped and my old cat is back to normal.

I read great reviews about Taste of the Wild and started feeding High Prairie to my dog about a week ago. Since then, she had become lethargic and about 10 minutes after eating the food, she started having seizure-like symptoms, as if something was poisoning her. We stopped giving it to her immediately and started feeding a different brand - no more symptoms and she seems healthy again. After reading the horrible reviews on here, I will take my dog to the vet to make sure she has not suffered any organ damage. I will also send in the food for testing, because something in it was poisoning her.

After using TOTW Prairie mix for 4 years, the most recent bag (purchased in December, 2017) has made my dog (a standard dachshund) ill, causing him to vomit and have runny stools. After taking him off the food and feeding him homemade rice and poultry he recovered almost immediately. There is something wrong with this food as there have been NUMEROUS complaints about the recent lots causing virtually identical symptoms in many other dogs.

I started feeding my 5 1/2 month old lab TOTW Roasted Bison and Roasted Venison this past Monday. On day 4 he had severe diarrhea while in his crate about 7 hours after his dinner feeding. The next morning I let him out and he was starting to defecate. His energy level has been just fine. Again, same scenario the next night. Granted on Monday I switched him from Fromm puppy to the TOWT puppy food and did not do a gradual transition because we were out of the FROMM and I would think that if it were just the food brand change the diarrhea would have started much sooner. After reading all these reviews I am taking this food back to the place I purchased it. Not sure if I got a bad batch or if it just doesn't agree with him but this company should pull the food from the stores if so many dogs are getting sick and even dying. Shame on them!!!

We rescued a 9 year old German Shorthair Pointer 3 years ago. He was a scraggly 45 pounds with sores on his joints and chest from laying on concrete. We have fed him TOTW since March 2015 and you couldn't tell he is around 12 years old, he goes more than much younger dogs, and his sores have all healed up and are covered in a nice healthy coat. Since rescuing our old guy we have rescued two puppies and they are both growing up perfectly and are super energetic, playful, and have normal bowel movements. Our vet and anyone we meet always give us compliments on how healthy and happy our dogs are, this is because of the food they consume. Thank you TASTE OF THE WILD. Your product is awesome.

I also have Experienced recently a huge difference in the quality of food from Taste of the Wild. I mean as far as my Rottweiler has been on their formula for 8 so months now. He is on the Bison Venison Yellow Adult bag. In the past I noticed sometimes he would vomit occasionally here and there and had diarrhea but for me that was normal. A big dog like this goes out in the yard and chews on anything. But the past few weeks he has been vomiting every other day and has had Diarrhea for the past 3 days. We Recently acquired a new puppy an English Mastiff which is a big breed as well. The Breeder had the pup on Blue Buffalo Formula and I switched him to Taste of the Wild Puppy chow Bison-Venison bag. After 2 days he is Constantly having diarrhea and today he just vomited twice so I put two and two together and came up with a solution that the food Definitely has something to do with it.

We have purchased Taste of the Wild dog food for two years from Tractor Supply for our boxer. A bag purchase in November 2017 is apparently the culprit. Our dog became lethargic and lost his appetite. He had almost watery diarrhea and lost weight. We began chicken broth and shredded chicken and he improved. After three days we gave him a bowl of the food. After two days he became ill again. Diarrhea started again and loss of appetite. This dog food is the cause. Poor fella. We will nurse him back to health with broth but we are very concerned for other dogs. Some have reported death after their illness. This needs to be looked into. I have saved some of the dog food from the tainted bag to be tested.

We were recommended this brand by our local shop for our newly adopted pit with some allergy skin issues. After a month of good results, he refused to eat the newest bag of lamb formula. We thought he was just not feeling well but after the 2nd day, he ate it and had very loose stool, then went back to refusing it altogether. He will eat his treats with no issue so it's not an appetite problem. Just this food.

I have 3 dogs that eat the dry Pacific Salmon and one that eats their wet food. One dog got sick days after opening a new batch. It was vomit fest 2017. He puked 15 times in one night. The next day he was fine so I assumed he ate a dead bird or something that didn't agree with him. The next day his brother went through the same thing! WTH!? I started looking up TOTW food and read all the recent awful reviews. I will never feed them this food again. Glad we caught it quickly but I'll be calling my vet Monday as well as Taste of the Wild!

My 11 year old Lab has been eating TOTW Pacific Stream flavor for about 5 years. She been healthy, and seem to love it. But two weeks ago (Thanksgiving 2017) she started having diarrhea, and it looked "pink" at first. We called the vet, vet said to feed her boiled chicken & rice for a few days, she probably ate something that didn't agree with her. We stopped feeding her the dog food, and she slowly improved. We began mixing some dog food in with the chicken & rice after a few days, to wean her back on it, and the diarrhea would come right back, and she'd also lose her appetite.

I got TOTW High Prarie Puppy food for my 4 month old lab thinking her coat and her digestive issues would get better, but just after a few days we noticed black stool and even spotted blood and now she's so weak and lost weight within days. As soon as we spotted the blood we went back to her old food, so I'm hoping my puppy gets better. I am furious to why this food is making so many dogs sick, my dog has a vets appt tomorrow and I'm hoping all will be ok. But I would not want anyone else's fur baby to go through this. Something is definitely wrong with this food since there are so many bad reviews whereas to chewy.com has all good reviews and that's why I got it in the first place but just be cautious.

My sweet sweet boy passed away December 7, 2017 from a Vet confirmed case of salmonella from Taste of the Wild. I emailed the company and let them know my dog was gravely ill! I asked them about the complaints on this site. Their reply was basically none of the reviews were confirmed and that for a fee Consumer Affairs would removed negative reviews. When I emailed the CS REP this am and told her Smokey had passed away... All communication ceased! I also contacted the retailer and explained in no way did we feel they were liable, but it was our wish for the concern of the animals. They immediately remove the food from the shelf at the location we purchased from! No reply! My Vet is contacting FDA... We are so sad and heartbroken! #alldogsgotoheaven.

Our 2 year old GSD has been on High Prairie and High Prairie Puppy since we brought her home at 8 weeks. Like other reviews here, there was a distinct change around October 2017. She's been more itchy, and was on antibiotics for diarrhea. She's eating her own feces, doesn't want to eat most days, and one of her ears is drooping (a sign of nutritional issues in GSDs). Then I find all of these reviews. We'll be seeing the vet, switching to a bland diet for a few days, and finding something else.

I know my babies are getting the protein they need without the added crap and filler that is unhealthy. There is less poop and the babies are super healthy. Yes, it is expensive but the benefits outweigh the costs.

A little over two weeks ago my dog, Jett, started to vomit and have diarrhea uncontrollably. He seemed to get better after we fed him rice and chicken so we concluded it was only garbage gut but then he progressively got so sick over the next few days that we took him to the vet and they hospitalized him for three days with an IV drip and constant supervision. They couldn't find any intestinal blockages and the bloodwork came back normal so they released him but my dog was still violently ill, losing weight, and becoming lifeless.

Dog loves it. I like it. Vet recommended change from other dog food and this one fits the bill. Female lab, 70lbs. Does very well on dry Taste of the Wild salmon. Beautiful coat, energetic, fit and happy dog. What more could you ask?

I have a Boxer puppy and she loves Taste of The Wild. She was eating the Blue Buffalo and loved that also. However she had horrible gas. Both brands are grain free and have no chicken in them.

We have been feeding our two Goldendoodles TOTW since they were born. Never had an issue until October of this year. My youngest dog has very bad, diarrhea for a week, and then a week later became more of a frightening bloody stool. I took him to the vet thinking he may have gotten into something he shouldn't have, but the vet couldn't find anything wrong. Three days later, my older dog had the same symptoms. I took them off the food immediately. It explains why neither one of them wanted to ever eat. We feed them Orijen now, and they seem to feel much better and love it.

I have feeding ToTW to my golden retriever for about 6 months. She never really liked it all that much. But recently she stopped eating altogether. She became very lethargic with diarrhea and vomiting. We ended up taking her to the vet. They diagnosed her with pancreatitis. They started him on the normal treatment but she never got any better. After a couple days the vet took her in for surgery and found that she was suffering from massive organ failure, she was put down to avoid further suffering. The vet said it could have been a toxin in her diet. I have had my cats on the same brand but I can tell you now after reading all these reviews they will be eating something else. ToTW could be deadly.

Our Golden has been on TOTW for about 6 mos. It was recommended for skin allergies. We opened a new bag a few days ago and noticed our dog didn’t finish it. Very rare as she inhales her food normally and lets us know when it’s time to eat each day. Something has changed. After reading other’s experiences, I will be changing foods tomorrow and pray that my dog doesn’t become ill. She has been lethargic. Very concerned. Thankful to those who posted their experiences.

I buy the Bison Grain Free brand for my adult dogs. I have found that since changing to this food, their coats have been softer & shinier. They have had more energy, especially my 8 yr old, he has been acting like a puppy again. They are all around healthier dogs. The value of this food is well worth it, as it is just a touch cheaper than big name brands.

My dogs love this food. It is high in protein so it fills them up. They are getting all the vitamins and nutrition they need from this food. It is rated one of the best foods out there.

My seven year old American Bulldog has been on Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream for last three to five years. The last three bags or so that I've bought he has not really wanted to eat it the way he did before. I even bought a bag of the High Prairie flavor to change things up. I thought maybe because it was summer going into fall he was just eating less. Recently, he will eat and purge grass, do the butt scoot, and did have a little diarrhea. He is still drinking water and will eat meat and rice I cook for him just fine. He is playful and alert. Luckily, he is about to go in for his yearly wellness check up. I plan on discussing all of this with his vet. For now, after reading up on TOTW complaints and him not wanting to eat the food, I've decided not to feed him anymore TOTW to be safe. I do believe Diamond has changed something in the TOTW line. I just bought my first bag of Orijen and my dog has been eating it up.

I mix it up between roasted fowl and lamb. It is not full of fillers, so I don't have to feed that much. My active Border Collie gets 3/4 cup 2X/day, cannot do that with the cheaper brands.

I have fed our Border Collie and Australian Shepherd pups TOTW Prairie Buffalo Puppy Food since we got them in February. Have had NO PROBLEMS whatsoever, they are now 20 months old. The vet is very pleased with them and such good nutrition. I do wish the Pacific Stream Puppy version was available at Tractor Supply as the Omega fish oils would be good for their winter coats. Could it be those that had issues, maybe their dogs got into something they shouldn't have? Or had issues already present before they started on TOTW? Just a thought.

I usually give Taste of the Wild Salmon to my two Long-haired dachshunds and like to switch it up with Bison. In this opportunity after switching to the bison flavor gradually nothing happened. When I opened the second bag one of the dogs became really sick with diarrhea and vomiting, I decided not to give too much thought on whether it was the food, giving the opportunity of the doubt that maybe she had eaten something in one of her walks. The next day my 3-year-old dachshund woke us up with what was severe diarrhea.

I've been feeding all my dogs TOTW off and on for years. We have two chihuahuas, a stray mix, and a Pit Bull. Since we purchased a new bag of TOTW this week, all have been showing signs of distress, including scratching inside and behind the ears, skin redness, and our Pit Bull wouldn't stop vomiting. She's the most sensitive to food, so when she refused to eat for two days I realized it was probably the issue. I'm taking them off immediately and finding another alternative.

My 7 year old grand dog was on Taste of the Wild dog food all her life. She started losing weight and wasn't acting herself so my son took her to the vet, actually he has taken her to 3 vets. They all said the same thing that the taste of the wild dog food she was eating was poisoning her. They have given her two weeks to live. My son’s best friend's dog was also on this dog food and died 4 weeks ago.

I have been feeding TOTW to my Labrador since he was 8 weeks old. He has done absolutely fantastic on it. Started him off on the TOTW Pacific Stream: Puppy Formula, and would switch to the High Prairie: Puppy Formula every so often just for a different taste pallet change. Did great on both. Since switching him to the Adult (All life stages) formulas, he's tried almost all of them. I would say the Lamb formula gave him terrible breath. He seemed to like the Pacific Stream the best. As of now, TOTW just came out with a new limited ingredient formula called, PREY, and he has been on the PREY: Trout formula and has done great! He seriously launches all 4 legs off the ground repeatedly when am measuring out his food! Haha. No complaints whatsoever! He has a very nice coat, never itches, highly energetic, and solid healthy stools.
