    I had such a hard time finding a poultry-free food for my English Bulldog, who is allergic. I found quickly that foods that were “Salmon,” they still had poultry. I was so excited to find that Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream had absolutely 0 poultry. My dog loves the taste, I love the clean ingredients. I recommend it!

    This was the best food I found for my cats. I like that it is grain free, high protein, good ingredients, and affordable. I noticed when my cats are on Taste of the Wild, they stayed trim and fit, ate less food, and pooped less. I could really see the difference in my cats' weight from changing from cat food with grains to grain free.

    I had been feeding my dogs TOTW High Prairie Grain-free food for the past year. All was well until this last bag which made both my dogs sick after they hesitated to eat this newest bag. As it turns out, I called the manufacturer and they have swapped ingredients for cheaper, crappier compounds. There is NO warning on the bag that the formula has been changed. They will try to blame you for your dogs' being ill before acknowledging the change in ingredients. Don't fall for it and don't buy this food or trust this dog food manufacturer. My dogs are ill and didn't have to be if I had just had the luxury of a banner on the bag that says "new ingredients" or "new formula" or anything at all indicating they changed the food's ingredients. This manufacturer needs to be shut down so dog owners are not duped by non-disclosure of new ingredients or changed formula. Shut them down! Haven't they killed and made enough dogs sick yet?

    Very impressed with Taste of the Wild quality. My dogs love it and have become healthier when I switched. Our Akita had an autoimmune disease and when we switched her to this food she responded well, became active again. Our vet said our Mastiff has never needed any medication or special care and is very healthy at 12 years old.

    My dogs are picky eaters and I have always struggled with buying a food that is healthy and reasonably priced. Taste of the Wild checks all the boxes. It's just the right amount of protein with real fruits and vegetables. It's food that even I would eat, which is another box. Plus, I don't have any issues with my babies not loving it.

    We adopted a dog from a rescue a few years ago and they gave us a sample of Taste of the Wild. We decided to try it with our other dogs as well and they went crazy for it! Our picky eater who would graze on everything suddenly started gobbling up all of his food. I love the limited and high-quality ingredients and genuinely believe my dogs are healthier because of this food. They have shiny coats, lots of energy, and I even noticed a decrease in flaky skin and shedding. I highly recommend this dog food!

    We use 2 different formulas of Taste of the Wild. High Prairie and Ancient Mountain with ancient grains. My pit mix has the high prairie and is lean muscular with a fantastic coat. My Great Pyrenees mix gets the Ancient Mountain- she has a very sensitive stomach and I’ve tried numerous foods for her and she would always randomly get soft messy stools randomly on them. She has been doing fantastic on Taste of the Wild. We also used to feed High Prairie to our dogs we had in the past. They also did fantastic on it as well. I always recommend it.

    For many years, I have fed my beagle Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream. He liked it (of course, beagles will eat almost anything) and it gave him a lustrous coat. It also was recommended by friends. But the last two bags (well within their expiration date) have been problematic. One bag contained oil at the bottom of the bag. I threw the rest of the dog food away. The second bag also had oily food at the bottom. When I tasted it, it was very salty, which explained why my dog was drinking so much after eating. Very suddenly, my dog became very sick, with extreme lethargy, loss of appetite and vomiting. The vet reported bad liver enzyme levels. I am very distressed and concerned that the dog food may have caused the problems.

    My black lab loves Taste of the Wild. She gets fed twice a day. She'll take any flavor with grain or without grain. She's pretty much addicted to it. Her coat is shining. Her bowel movements are regular as a result. So, I feel like she likes it, but also, I can tell the difference in her body. Our vet also recommended it, which also makes me feel better.

    Taste of the Wild was very easy to order and it came very quickly. Nothing could have gone better. Everything was perfect. The dog food that we ordered was a low protein 'cause our 15 year old dog's kidneys are having issues. Our dog is also a little sensitive, so we put a little water with it and it softened it and then she ate it.

    I got Pitbulls and Bullies and they have had litters probably twice a year in the last four years. People should use Taste of the Wild. Most of my family use it during the puppy stages and they usually sell the puppies at eight weeks. Occasionally, I give buyers a small bag of TOTW when they buy the puppy and take them home. I tell them that the puppy should be eating that for almost nine months to a year. I add a little water and I use the blue bag. Eating TOTW helps the digestive tract, the muscle intake and the diet. Generally, when the puppies eat the cheaper food, their bowels are soft and running. But when they eat TOTW and better dog foods, they have a solid one.

    Taste of the Wild worked out great for my dog and I would recommend it. I have a Boxer and I always stick with chicken for her. It’s more towards a whole grain type or a grain less one. She lost a lot of her hair and after starting to eat that one, her hair grew back and it helped drastically for her in that area.

I recently came back and I’m on my second bag now since I’ve gotten back to it. I used the puppy formula when the dogs started and I switched around. I used the one with the bison but I don’t do too much with the ones with the fish. We've got Springer Spaniels and they've all been healthy as horses. The dogs like it and I have no complaints.

    Taste of the Wild is a good no-brainer kind of food. I like that the food is pretty limited ingredient and grain-free. It works out pretty well for the dogs. They've never had an issue with it.

    I started buying Taste of the Wild back when I just had two Huskies but there was something in the formula that changed because they went from liking it to not liking it. So, I had to switch to a different dog food. One of my huskies passed away and the one that’s left doesn’t like it anymore. But my Shepherd slash Malamute mix, Shibu and Pitbull like it and they notice when it's Taste of the Wild. We don't get it that often but it’s one of the better grain-free dog foods on the market. If somebody wants to go grain-free, that would be one of those that I would recommend.

    Taste of the Wild is reasonably priced but less expensive is always a good idea. Over the 14 years I've been using their food, I on occasion have tried other foods. I saw almost immediate health declines and poor coats in my dogs when I've switched foods. When I switch back to Taste of the Wild, I see improvement almost immediately again. I'm a big fan of the salmon flavored variant, Pacific Stream. But when I was using puppy formula, it was very hard finding that flavor. I'm also not the biggest fan of the plasticky bag. I've had dogs break into it very easily.
