Taste of the Wild Reviews

I changed my GSD Ford to Taste of the Wild about 6 months ago. Because it rated higher than Blue Buffalo. She loved it at first, but the last two bags of High Prairie Canine Roasted Bison and Roasted Venison (bought from Chewy's 4/15/2017. Bags says best by 4/2018). She refuses to eat it unless she is starving. She is losing weight, I have appt with the vet tomorrow. Chewy's has notified Taste of the Wild. Chewy's did not offer refund or exchange.

I have two wonderful service dogs. They are sheltie collie mixes. I have been feeding them TOTW for years with great results UNTIL recently Spring of 2017. In April 2017 our one dog went to the vet with elevated liver enzymes 500; a follow-up appointment after medication showed 900. After two ultrasounds, blood tests etc. Last night I fed our dogs TOTW and Alpo canned; fifteen to twenty minutes later they were both vomiting like crazy. I started researching this on my own looking for possible pet food recalls - I did not find any, and then I found this site. While it was a comfort to know that I am not alone; I was alarmed at the numerous amounts of pet families who are going through the same issues and all have one thing in common; TOTW.

After seeing a comment on FB I did a quick search and found this site. I was curious because my Duck Toller, who has been on TOTW Pacific Stream for probably 8 years now, suddenly has elevated liver enzymes. Usually I buy her food in BC but her last couple of bags came from WA. Any other time she had blood work done it's been pristine, the last being a year ago. Coincidental?

Have been feeding Taste Of The Wild Sierra Mountain (dry and canned) to both my black shepherds for years. Routine vet checks gave my boys healthy results. One month after a healthy vet check, one boy died at nine years. I blamed clumping kitty litter. Now I wonder. Recently purchased a pure breed German Shepherd to fill the emptiness of loss. Feeding 4-month-old puppy TOTW puppy dry Pacific Stream/Sierra Mountain (canned). Small portions of both with canned bits cut in half for assimilation.

I have been giving my fur baby TOTW for over 7 yrs. That ended this week but should have been sooner. After a month of running to the vet for testing and such it was the food. It affected his liver as many others have stated. He also would vomit and had diarrhea. He would let the food sit longer than previously. Sadly I have referred this food to countless fur parents over the years. Obviously TOTW is knowingly selling food that is harmful. Somewhere in production they have changed. I hope a Chemist or Physicist does a break down on one of the kernels to see what it is consisting of. TOTW needs to be forced to eat this toxic food they are selling and doing harm to animals.

Just purchased a bag of Taste of the Wild Salmon in May 2017 from same local food store been buying it from for 4 yrs. My Labrador became ill immediately upon first feeding. He could not defecate, straining and either nothing came out or just slimy bits. He did not defecate for 36-48 hours, very odd as he usually goes 3-4 times in that timeframe. I fed him rice instead for 2 days and he is now defecating again. Stool is a very pale color. Liver problem/damage??? Kidneys too?! THANKFULLY I READ THIS REPORT BY CONSUMERS before feeding him TOTW again! Taste of the Wild needs to be RECALLED ASAP! It is causing great harm to our pets!!! The food is going back to the store ASAP and I will file a complaint to Taste of the Wild ASAP!

I am writing this review because my dog stopped eating her Taste of the Wild dog food and was drinking about 4x the amount of water she usually drinks. I am not sure whether to attribute the slight loss of energy to age or something else. I took her to the vet this week where they did blood work. It came back with slightly elevated liver enzymes. An ultrasound revealed liver necrosis. I am trying not to jump the gun and blame the food but after reading all of this I am highly suspicious that it is the food. I give her Taste of the Wild and switch back and forth from the venison to salmon. The most recent batch I got was the salmon. Another person mentioned they were getting the dog food tested? Any results? I put in an inquiry to TOTW. I am so sorry for anyone out there who has been through this heartache of their loved ones being sick and even passing.

Pup has been on food for 6+ months, recently in May his liver enzymes have skyrocketed. We are unsure the cause. However we changed his food and will be retesting. Vet has confirmed it has to be from something he's been consistently ingesting.

My dog since she was a puppy has been on TOTW. Never has she been a picky eater. She looks forward to her food. A few months ago I started the transition between puppy to adult. Followed what the vet said. She seemed uninterested in her food. She would eat a little and leave it. Her belly started to make awful noises. She seemed tired. When it was time for the adult food she wouldn't touch it. We cooked some veggies and chicken to incorporate into her food. It was as if we were forcing her to eat. Then the vomiting started. Her belly sounded worse. We took her off her dog food and put her on a bland diet. She seemed ok. We started to give her the food again. Again she lost interest and this time it was vomiting and diarrhea. It was horrible.

She acts normal and doesn't seem sick. But she been having diarrhea on this currently bag. I thought it was the wet food so I stopped feeding it to her and switch to boiled chicken. The common denominator was the dry food. Guess I'll be throwing the bag out. It was the Taste of the Wild Bison.

My Klee Kai has been eating Taste of the Wild Salmon version for almost 8 years. I bought a fresh bag yesterday and she was all excited to get it put in her food ball (she eats from a ball that she has to roll around to dispense her food). I put it down on the floor as she anxiously awaited... only she sniffed it and walked away and hasn't touched it for almost 36 hours. I did notice when I opened the bag that the food was much darker than usual but didn't think anything of it until she wouldn't eat it. She certainly still has her appetite and will eat treats, steak, pretty much anything you put in front of her. Except her food... calling the company tomorrow and going to try and return it to tractor supply if I can find my receipt. At $47 I don't plan on just throwing it away. Based on the number of recent complaint I'm looking for another food I guess.

We have been feeding our dog TOTW since we adopted her around 9 months ago. It has always been a highly rated grain-free food and she has done very well on it. Recently, however, she has fallen quite ill - loss of appetite, vomiting, not able to keep food down, lethargic, etc. and when we took her to the vet, they found that her liver enzyme levels have skyrocketed, meaning that her liver is damaged enough to be leaking a significant amount of enzymes. Her ALP level, which should be in the 10 to 150 range is over 1500. Her eyes, gums, and skin have yellowed (jaundiced) because of this and she is now at the vet on an IV for the next several days, trying to flush her liver and prevent permanent damage to her organs. We have done test after test trying to figure out what could have been the cause for her sudden illness.

Thank you to the people who have posted. I did not find this site until after I found an unknown soft silver material embedded in a chunk from Taste of the Wild High Prairie Roasted Bison and Roasted Venison. If anyone knows of a reputable lab to test this food please post it for the rest of us looking for answer to question of in my case WTH is this unknown material and are these bags tainted? I have no clue if this will help push an examination of Taste of the Wild but I hope it will.

I'm unsure what everyone else is talking about, but Taste of the Wild Stream with Salmon is great. Both of my dogs' coats are shinier and they have tons of energy. I will say that the person who talked about the questionable boar (red bag) is spot on. We went to that bag to switch it up and our lab had runny ** and was extremely gassy. The only bag that seems to work is the blue bag which is the stream salmon, which we've given them for over 2 years now.

Just opened a new bag of Taste of the Wild - Bison. The color of it was lighter than usual and my dog did not eat it the day I put it out. She ate it this morning and seemed a bit sick all day. After eating 1/2 cup for dinner she threw it all up. She has been on this food for 8 years and is healthy. The food did not appear the same (as I mentioned the color was lighter than usual). I am throwing it out and changing to another brand. It seems other people are reporting problems this month with the food. My husband threw out the bag so I don't have any info. We just bought it and the store we buy from is usually out of TOTW and they get shipments every week so I am assuming it is a fresh batch. BEWARE... don't continue to fed your dog if you experience any issues!

I have used the product since adopting my dog 2 months ago. I have not had any problems, and have purchased only the 5 lb bags so far. I wanted to get a 15 lb bag, but am reluctant to do so due to the concerning reviews posted. If you've experienced a problem - PLEASE contact the company (I've called them and they said there haven't been many reported complaints) and PLEASE post the lot and date numbers of the bags in question (so that it can be determined if a specific lot is involved or if the problem is more widespread).. Thanks!

I am in the process of trying to get Diamond to address the issue of all of these sick dogs. My GSD Sadie was very ill last week and is now refusing to touch her Taste of The Wild Fowl flavor. After sharing this with my GSD FB group there are hundreds more with the same story. My dog had really severe stomach issues, lethargic and was dehydrated. This started with the last bag we purchased a little over a week ago, Chewy refunded us today and now is pushing my complaint higher up.

My GSD has been on Taste of the Wild since I brought him home as a puppy. With a new bag he suddenly developed digestion problems, allergy problems, skin problems. Many trips to the vet and several tried medications. It wasn't until I took him off TOTW dog food that anything helped. They have changed SOMETHING and it is dangerous. Facebook is full of similar reviews.

Recently switched both my German shepherd and blue heeler to the High Prairie Venison one in February. They seemed to really enjoy it and their coats ears and poops all looked good. Two weeks ago beginning in April we opened a new bag with a batch date of February 20th, 2018, of the Wetlands bag and they have both been reluctant to eat it and we've been forcing them to eat it. Recently our heeler started puking, exhibiting signs of not feeling well and flat out refusing to eat at all. Was able to see many similar stories on Facebook all around the same batch date of other people's dogs having the same or similar issues. Contacted our food carrier and switching the food immediately after some had signs of organ failure.

My West Highland Terrier was recently fed Taste of the Wild dog food. He got very sick with diarrhea and had strong urine, which I suspect was kidney distress. This lasted 2 weeks and then he lost half his hair due to chewing and hot spots. He also stopped eating for 4 days. He is just now getting better and is back eating his raw diet. I'm giving him Wild Alaskan fish oil and bathing him in Neem oil shampoo. He has developed Demodex mange because Taste of the Wild compromised his immune system and almost killed him. His skin is turning black in spots so I'm going to start giving him oregano oil capsules. Taste of the Wild should have issued a recall by now. What's wrong with these people! My Westie was fed the venison/bison blend. I tried to get my local pet store to take it off their shelves but they were not interested until a recall is issued. I will call the company directly tomorrow.

ATTN TASTE OF THE WILD USERS!!! I don't know how many saw my post about my Chief developing acute pancreatitis but I'M HERE TO WARN YOU!!! He came off of his prescription food a few days ago and I slowly switched him back to TOTW - the mucus is BACK AND I AM FURIOUS!!! Look at the VERY RECENT REVIEWS from others OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO THEIR BABIES!!! IF you've had problems PLEASE, PLEASE call 1-800-977-8797!! Calling this number is the only way they will investigate!!! I'm DONE with this food and will NEVER purchase it again!!!

I've been feeding my 2 dogs TOTW (various flavors) for 4 years and it has been great. However, the last batch has been iffy. Both my dogs have been throwing up and did repeatedly over a period of 2 weeks. I finally decided that it could be due to the food and switched them to a different bag. No throw-ups in last 2 days. If anything changes, I will come back and change this review. But I think there are quality issues with recent batches of TOTW adult dog food. The flavor in question (in my case) is Wild Boar.

I don't know if my dog's death was a result of him eating TOTW but all the symptoms are very similar to the posts on this site recently. My dog became sick on Thursday. He was lethargic, wasn't eating all of his food, and had a good amount of eye mucus. He also coughed as if he needed to vomit but never actually did. Friday he was worse, he slept almost the entire day (which he never did). I was unsure of what was wrong but assumed it was a sickness and he would get better. On Saturday he seemed better but didn't eat any of his food. He passed away lying next to me on the couch without any signs of struggling. He was around 11 years old so he was getting to the end of his life but there were no warning signs before the signs of sickness Thursday and his death on Saturday. I haven't contacted the company yet but I will be doing so tomorrow!

We have been giving our pet TOTW for a while but recently, well last two days he has been almost lethargic and foul diarrhea, looks very skinny and has become weak. Took him to the vet and blood results show elevated liver enzymes, nothing has changed in diet. We were told maybe it can be his food.

My Boston Terrier has been eating Taste of the Wild for 6 years now. I just got a fresh bag and since she has been eating she has completely liquid diarrhea and has been vomiting. Going to try giving her different food to see if she gets better. I am assuming the new bag has something wrong with it. Feb. 18, 2018 is the best buy date and roasted fowl is the flavor. If anyone else is having problems with the same food I would like to know.

Around the end of February/beginning of March my golden retriever became critically sick, very lethargic. Took her to my primary vet, tests showed extreme edema, anemia, enlarged organs, elevated liver enzymes, elevated CPK. Transferred to a Vet Hospital ER, required blood transfusion, IV fluids to stabilize. She spent a week there in 24/7 treatment for possible autoimmune mediated disease, possible bacterial infection, but not diagnosis yet after a lot of tests. She's still very sick dog, lost a lot of weight, relapsing. She eats TOTW, thought I would google TOTW complaints on the improbable chance someone else is experiencing this, and I find all this! Hope it's not too late. Just called the hospital, will contact the company tomorrow. Hoping she'll pull through but she's in serious condition.

I was glad to find this site. Our lab puppy had been eating Taste of the Wild Puppy food. It seemed to be going well for a few months. Last week (new bag) she stopped eating the dog food entirely... lethargic, weepy eyes, skin warm to the touch. Very very unlike her. But no loose stools, no vomiting. After a few days I decided to return to a mixture of puppy food and rice. She loves rice. She would eat around the food and just eat the rice. Finally after reading other reviews on this site, I returned her to a chicken and rice diet. She immediately ate everything and did the same this morning. We are switching brands. A friend of mine with a small dog also used this brand regularly and said that in the past month her dog started throwing up and eating less often. She also will be changing brand after reading the March 2017 reviews.

I took my dog to the vet after switching his dog food (he stopped throwing up after I did that) and did complete bloodwork and exam. Aside from high kidney values, he is doing well. I contacted TOTW Dr. ** and they are going to test my food sample. I encourage everyone to contact TOTW so any issue can be identified. It seems to be just random off bags out of the many thousands that are fine, so please contact them so your food can be traced otherwise they do not know what to test. I do not have the bag but will mail my sample in.

Have two year old German shepherd. Has been sick several times after consuming Taste of the Wild bison, venison dry food. Lethargic, vomiting, bloody diarrhea. Took to vet. Not sure if gastroenteritis or pancreatitis. Please investigate this. No one is listening. How many more dogs have to get sick and die before something is done. Have called manufacturer with lot number, notified pet supermarket and vet regarding possible bad food. So sad this is being ignored. Facebook and local news to be contacted next. Please help!

I've read all these reviews and I'm very worried about my little guy. I have a 9.5 week old toy Rat Terrier, under a pound, who's had bad diarrhea (STINKS!) for over 24 hours. He's gagging but nothing is coming up. He did have a bloated belly and very gassy, now appears to be losing weight and boney. Tires easily during play. He has an appt Monday but I fear it won't be soon enough. If this is an ongoing issue, TOTW, please take action! These animals are dear to their families. I'd be devastated if Something happened to Oscar. Please take these reviews seriously.

Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream has been our little Cavapoo's food for a long time. She doesn't receive snacks. Lately, she has had diarrhea & vomiting with over $1,000 in vet bills in past month alone. She was diagnosed with pancreatitis on Friday. There have been no changes in her life. She is always on a leash when taken outside. The vet did X-rays which were negative. After reading the negative reviews on several sites we won't be giving her TOTW again.

Puppy has been on this food for 6 months. Adult German Shepherd on Taste of the Wild lamb. We just got a new bag a couple weeks ago of the puppy food. Pup hasn't emptied bowl except once (odd). He has thrown up a few times now and you can hear his stomach gurgling. His stool is softer also. Concerned! Giving chicken and rice.

Bad batch of food. My 4 year old beagle/dachshund mix had been eating TOTW for the past 4 months. On 2/26 she ate her morning meal with no problem. When we got home from church she was very lethargic. She did not eat the evening of the 26th or at all on 2/27. She started throwing up on the evening of the 27th, mostly liquids and very dehydrated. Took her to my vet on the 28th and they started treating her and diagnosed her with pancreatitis. After spending the day at my vet, they recommended that she go the 24 hour emergency vet for the next 2 days for around the clock care. I was able to take her home on 3/2 because her blood levels were all normal.

Thank goodness for this website and its information and experience from other pet owners who used Taste of the Wild. My Great Dane who is 4 years old just experienced a bad reaction to this product. On the 3rd night of eating TOTW, she too had vomited up all her food, lost control of her bowels and became extremely shaky and lethargic. I thought she was having a seizure. We bought this product from a local Pet Supplies store because we ran out of her regular food Fromm Gold and our supplier was closed on Sunday. The pet store highly recommended this so we thought it would be okay. We were mistaken. Trying to keep water in her and Feeding her a bland diet and will start her back on Fromm depending on her appetite and condition. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO PETS.

Last week I bought a bag of TOTW for my cat and it is making her sick. I have been feeding her this brand for a year and she loves it, but she refused to eat from this bag. When she finally did, she barely ate any and got real sick. Seeing the other reviews from this time frame, makes me think they have a serious quality control problem, and their claims of a healthy product are a sham. I hope my cat gets better.

I had the same experience as many other reviewers had. My dog had been on the Bison & Venison Taste of the Wild dog food for many years. One day he became very sick! He would vomit after every feeding. He was sad and just not acting like himself. I took him to the vet and they did an exam and blood work and couldn't find anything wrong with him. That cost me $250. They gave me some wet dog food and medication to stop him from vomiting. He still vomited for a couple days but stopped on the 33rd day on wet food. When I ran out of wet dog food and her had not been vomiting for several days I started him back on his Taste of the Wild dog food. He vomited again that night.

On Jan 31 I went to my local tractor supply store and bought a 15 pound bag of Taste of the Wild High Prairie Puppy Formula... which came highly recommended to me by a cashier for my 2 dogs. They had been eating Science Diet but an employee who is no longer with the company informed me that Science Diet is full of grain and bad for my dogs and that I should go on a grain free food. TOTW was the recommendation so I went with it. They had been eating it already for about a month with no issues. The next day my dachshund stopped eating, was extremely lethargic and had tiny tarry stools if anything at all.

Over the two years with my aussie I have fed her Taste Of The Wild, and never had a problem till this last batch. It's been strange. She was on the puppy food when she was little, never had a issue. Then switched her to lamb and she was fine. I always changed the flavor every month and never had a issue. Then a few weeks ago I got a new bag of lamb and gave her that. Over the night she threw up all her food. Could not keep any water down, had super bad bathroom issues... etc. She was sick for 3 days.

We have had our hound mix on the bison TOTW for about 4 yrs, thought it was good food until now. Dog has had call consistent diarrhea for 3 days now and we are starting to think it is the food. We found a strange piece of string (garden twine) baked into the kibble in the last batch we opened as well. We are now feeding him chicken and rice and looking into other brands for our kibble.

To be honest, I'm not sure if it is this food that was making my dogs sick, I wish I had waited to post the review I submitted on 2/7/17. After I had switched their food to another brand they actually got worse, and are now on antibiotics and vet prescribed GI food.

I have a 6 yr old Black Lab and we recently moved from Austin to Houston. The dog food Welcome Home! is not sold in Houston. Went to a local pet store and they recommended TOTW. At first she had no concerns or issues. I started to notice that she had itchy ears, loose stools, and a rash on her inner thighs. She will NOT be eating TOTW (Wild Boar) anymore and will have Welcome Home! deliver to the house.

I am a regular customer of Taste of the Wild, specifically the bison formula for dogs. After reading the reviews of this product of late I am suspecting it is the cause of my dogs emergency trip to the vet and his continuing care. Three days ago I opened a fresh bag and fed my dog his meal, within an hour he was very ill, vomiting and shaky, very lethargic. I am now making him rice and chicken and he is improving, although slowly. I have contacted the company and they did take a report.

It's the duck. If it walks like one and squawks like one... I have a 17 year old dog and a 3 year old dog and I bought a bag of Wetlands formula Taste of the Wild which I did not know was made by Diamond... I've heard great things and ugly things about the company and I honestly wanted to try something junk, and my current brand (Nutro) didn't have a satisfactory formula in my opinion. My dogs have not eaten junk in a LONG time. My collie was fed junk when I was a kid but my pit bull has had GREAT food for her last 2 years since I adopted her (she was a stray before, no telling then). I work for a vet. We did countless fecals on my collie and it has always been negative. They're indoor dogs and they get regular prevention.

I changed from grain dog food to TOTW. It has transformed my Pit and Coonhound/American bull mix. Easy (pit) is now 11 years old. Fiz (mix) is 7. They have been on Taste of the Wild for 6 yrs. They are very healthy, their coats shine, mess much less, and are happy to eat this food. I love it.

I have a 3 year old female shepherd. I was feeding her the Bison Taste of the Wild. She became very ill with a high fever, lethargic and diarrhea. After thousands of dollars I changed food and she is better. This is bad food!

A few years back my dog was having some negative reactions to dry dog food (itchy skin, unhealthy stools), nothing super serious but enough that my vet put him on a hypo diet. The hypo food did not do well for my guy, so I started researching heavily. After much research I settled on Taste of the Wild Prairie formula, high quality meat, that wasn't chicken or beef, and a high level of standards on other parts of the food. My dog loved/loves it!

After feeding my dog Taste of the Wild for 2 years with no problems, we had bought her a new bag last Friday at star nursery, nonstop diarrhea with vomiting. I will be making her rice and chicken starting tomorrow, then switching her to something besides Taste of the Wild! There seems to be a pattern with dogs getting sick off of this lately.

I had been feeding Taste of the Wild lamb and then bison to my 3.5 yr old white German shepherd for over two years when all of a sudden he got very sick. He had eaten about 7/8 of the 33-lb bag when he suddenly was vomiting bile and water, not eating, not drinking, having diarrhea, losing weight and acting very lethargic. Multiple visits to the vet included a fecal test for bacteria and parasites (all negative/normal), four different blood tests (all normal), and two X-rays (both normal). He lost 8 lb in two weeks and was down from 83 to 75 lb.

My cats developed severe diarrhea after eating TOTW wet food. I switched to home cooked meat with rice and their stool improved immediately. I realized my cat that developed IBD was on dry kibble TOTW previously. Reading all the comments about recalls I am now pretty sure that there is something wrong with the label that makes cats sick. Diamond company is reported to have a pretty bad record and I am not going to pay a higher price for food that cannot guarantee my pets' health but the exact opposite makes them very sick.

Just lost our first dog at 14 years to natural causes. Never a sick day, always energetic and playful. We still have a litter mate going strong now and almost 15 years old. The value is in the health of the animal. Some may consider it a bit pricey, but the value is in the healthful longevity of our dogs and the savings come from not paying the vet other than for yearly checkups.

We gave our 2.5 year old Goldendoodle The Taste of the Wild Sierra Mountain dry food for four weeks. She was lethargic and started losing all of her beautiful undercoat. In the final week she started throwing up after eating her breakfast and dinner. We took her off of it and gave her Royal Canin with some pumpkin puree and she is back to her energetic self. Not sure if she is allergic to something in The Taste of the Wild or what but when we called they said Sierra Mountain is actually the one they recommend for sensitive stomachs. I wouldn't buy it again, as it was a little expensive and gave some pretty unfortunate results.

We have 2 Labs, 7 yr old female and 2 yr old male, both are eating this food. My 2yr old when we adopted him at 10 months old was on another brand we slowly and properly converted him over to TOTW. Each dog has their own eating habits, the 7 yr old self regulated her eating when she was a very young puppy, the 2yr old male inhales his food and always has, we even got him a crazy bowl to slow him down. Neither have any food aggression issues as someone else posted about this food. Their food dishes are right next to each other and neither tries to eat the other's food.

We have given our beagle/lab a mixture of dry and canned TOTW for a number of years. At 9 she's frisky, always ready to play or go for a walk. Her coat is glossy. I would have no problem recommending TOTW to any family with a dog. The ingredient list looks healthy and our Vet Tech daughter agrees it provides a well balanced diet.

We switched our gsd/husky mix to Taste of the Wild a month ago because he tried it at my mother in law's house and seemed very interested in eating it. Less than a week after switching, he developed diarrhea. We took him to the vet and he was given medication. They also did a fecal test, which came back negative. Our dog's behavior also changed dramatically after eating that food. He developed food aggression out of the blue and was very lethargic and moody all of the time.

I mixed a few pieces of this food with my dog's regular food. The next day she had non-stop (and I mean non-stop) diarrhea. She had diarrhea more than 40 times in less than 15 hours. I had to take her to the Vet because I thought she was going to die from dehydration. I tried that ** they sell at the pet store and it would not stop. I'm thankful her Vet was able to work her in. Prior to that, she was completely fine, and had been Vet checked a few weeks earlier and was 100% healthy. She is up to date on vaccines. I spent over $200 at the Vet, and have another appointment scheduled. She is on IV fluids, **, and a diarrhea kit from the Vet. I also did a parvo test (came back negative) and fecal sample to make sure she didn't have parasites. This food literally almost killed my dog.

I have German Shepherd Dogs (GSDs). Have had them for more than 45 years. My dogs are active in many events, including conformation, herding, obedience and rally venues. Obviously, over the years I've fed a number of different dog foods. When I was unhappy with the changes in my dog food of choice several years ago, I spoke with many of my GSD friends to learn what they were feeding. Ultimately I went with TOTW. I have never been sorry. My dogs prefer the Bison formula -- High Prairie, yellow bag. I wanted to use the Pacific Stream but they didn't care for it. I can and do add salmon oil from time to time for certain dogs, mostly for coat. I hope that TOTW never changes their formula. As long as they keep their current formula and high standards, I will never change.

My rat terrier has been on the lamb and rice Taste of the Wild food for two years and in that time there have been bags that look very visibly different than others. In late November I purchase a 10lb bag and my dog has now become very ill. My very potty trained 10 year old dog is having diarrhea accidents all over the house panicking to get to the door. I pulled him off this food and gave him tuna and white rice. We saw instant improvement. He has a food allergy to chicken and corn. I'm wondering if the wrong food was bagged or this brand is not truthful about its ingredients. Do not buy Taste of the Wild... Diamond Pet Food products are awful. Had I known this was a Diamond product I would have never purchased it.

I have been feeding my dog Taste of The Wild since April of this year. My dog liked it and no problems, until this last bag. At first I was not sure what was going on. She seemed lethargic and had loose stools. I did not feed her that night and just gave her a small treat and the next morning she seemed a little better. After she ate more of it she was sick again but I still did not put 2 and 2 together until the next day. I wondered if it was the dog food, so I took her off of it for a week and during that time she got better.

We feed our two border collie mix dogs once per day with Taste of the Wild. Their favorite is High Prairie. We feel good about this quality dog food - it meets our dogs nutritional needs.

I've been feeding both my dogs Taste of the Wild for several years now, after trying all sorts of other dog foods. Both dogs love it (now exclusively on the wild fowl flavor, but have tried other flavors) and are healthy and thriving dogs. There was a minor recall a while back, but my dogs were not in any danger and the company offered a full refund and quickly addressed concerns. The price is better than other premium foods, and though not cheap, is definitely worth it to keep my dogs healthy and happy. I highly recommend this dog food as a good base food from which to build a nutritious diet. I sometimes add fresh veggies, eggs and meat as supplemental foods, but they are perfectly happy eating Taste of the Wild simply by itself. I even use it as a treat stuffed in a play bone.

This dog food has been great for my dogs. I was using Science Diet then Core, now this one. It's high protein, my dogs love it and the cost is less than Blue. My dogs are healthy and are 12 years old now

My dog is 14 and a year ago developed allergies. After $$$ tests, it is from chicken, poultry products found in his dog food. I researched a dog food that contained no chicken, poultry fat, poultry products and found Taste of the Wild Pacific stream Canine. He loves it and his skin has cleared up!
