Taste of the Wild Reviews

I compared several brands, and I felt that Taste of the Wild offered the best nutritional content and was the most effective. I thought Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream - with Salmon in Gravy (wet) would be the best tasting for my dog too. The food is natural, the flavor is exotic and my dog seems to love it. Some of the things I like about Taste of the Wild is that it is wholesome naturally flavored servings and it doesn't have too much protein.

I’ve been using Taste of the Wild for over 10 years and I’ve had good experience with them. It’s good quality food and it doesn’t make my dog sick, so it’s good. I used to breed Yorkies, but now it’s French Bulldogs and I use the puppy formulation when they’re puppies and then transition into the adult one, the Salmon. It doesn’t make the dogs’ poop go all watery or make them sick in the stomach. And it works for them, so I just leave them on what works. The dogs and their digestive system are healthy and their coats are nice. It works. I also like the fact that it’s grain-free, so this is what I recommend to people.

I chose this product, Southwest Canyon - with Wild Boar (dry), to give my dog a different taste every once in a while just to try and because a little different nutrition. I also wanted to see my pet reaction to a new taste and flavor than his regular. My pet tried it and thought it was interesting and had no digestive problem after eating it. I also was a little surprised at his positive reaction to the new tastes and texture.

Taste of the Wild PREY Turkey is high quality and she loves the taste. We have tried other brands and she just sniffs and eats a little amount of food from the other brands. Taste of the Wild dog food is all natural and is good for her. When I give her this food, she eats it in minutes as other dog foods not as fast. She loves the variety of flavors and how healthy she looks. It’s premium dog food and I feel good giving her this brand. I get it at a great price and get a big bag so it lasts a while for her. Shopping for her is a pleasure. It is perfect the way it is. My girl loves this brand and the variety is amazing.

I've been using Taste of The Wild for four years now. It’s highly recommended by other breeders. I breed three different types of dogs and I use three different formulas. I have American Pit Bull Terriers, Beagles, and Chow Chows. This is my last year in the Pit Bulls, but I still have my Chow Chows and Beagles. With Taste of The Wild, I’ve noticed an overall health improvement of the dogs. It brings out their shinier, healthier looking coats and their eyes are clearer. They have less stool, which means less weight because they’re getting all the nutrients they need. They have more energy and are more alert. And also, they seem happier and are keeping a good weight. They’re not becoming obese or too skinny.

Taste of the Wild was recommended to us by another breeder, and we've been feeding it to our Golden Retrievers for six years now and we've never had any issues. It's what they were used to when they were nursing, and it's what they were used to when I weaned them. It's always been a good suit for us. We typically purchase the Bison and it keeps everything pretty good. Our dogs typically don't have runny stools unless they need treatment. I always let others know that that's what we feed our dogs and that's also what I send home.

I have been using Taste of the Wild for four years. I breed an American Brittany and she gives birth once or twice a year. I also routinely send puppies to their new homes with Taste of the Wild samples because they do well on those. I use the high-prairie formula and I like the fact that it is grain-free. I have less issues with allergies and the puppies are having solid stools as well.

Taste of the Wild was a special treat for an elderly dog who doesn't eat all that enthusiastically anymore. And it was on sale at the store I was shopping at anyway. The ingredients seem high quality, and the stores where it is sold are reputable. My elderly dog really really likes it and he eats it enthusiastically, even when he isn't all that "into"his food. But Taste of the Wild is too expensive to buy routinely. It is also hard to find -- only a few stores even carry it. I can order it online, but that means a longer time before I get it, plus maybe some shipping costs.

Taste of the Wild is a great brand and I have been using them for a long time and they have always provided a quality product that my pet enjoys and they offer a great price for the food and I will continue to buy it. My dog enjoys the Pacific Stream - with Smoked Salmon (dry). I guess the healthy and natural ingredients would be the best part of the dog food although there some other great parts as well. However, I would like to lower the price and make the ingredients organic if possible, also all natural if it can be done. It would be a great benefit and that would be a good thing.

We've fed TOTW to our Golden Retriever and Miniature Poodle for a couple of years. We purchased a new bag about 2 weeks ago and our Golden Retriever became ill, vomiting, diarrhea, no energy, HORRIBLE breath. I told my husband tonight that the food has an odd smell to it and decided to check online for potential recalls. After reading the recent concerns of others with similar circumstances, we've decided to try another brand. Production Code Label: Best By 03 FEB 2019 8034 DM TDP0203A12N CPD 16:20.

My dog loves it and it feels good to give him something good for him! Have tried several varieties and Nigel likes them all. It is all natural and it is grain free. Not as cheap as the grocery store grains but worth the money to keep my dog happy and healthy!

Our sweet Gabby, a Boston terrier, recently died unexpectedly and suddenly. She had experienced diarrhea for a week so we took her to the vet, they gave her some meds and within 48 hours she died. They ran blood work, urine tests, fecal tests, X-rays and ultrasounds. Nothing could tell us what was causing her elevated kidney levels and what caused it to happen so quickly. We are devastated to say the least. Now our other dog is throwing up. Just found out other pet parents are experiencing the same issues in March/April from this dog food. Unfortunately we did not keep the bag to compare the product numbers. In hindsight the dogs had not been eating this food as quickly as previous bags but not enough for us to really take notice. I’m shocked at how many people have experienced the same things, and the common link is this dog food.

I’ve had dogs my whole entire life. About 25 years ago, I got married and we were really tight in our budget so we used a Walmart brand to feed our dogs. Two of the three dogs that we had died, one died of cancer and then one would go into seizures. We live in the country, so they get a lot of exercises and they were the right weight so I felt whatever it is that they put in the cheap dog food contributed to their death. We felt like if we go with TOTW, it will keep our dogs healthy. We liked their ingredients since my daughter's into ingredients and they are a US company, so we chose them. Also, we have German Shepherds. They’re Czech Republic bloodline, so they’re service dogs. They can be a little finicky and they eat TOTW. We use the salmon one and it's better on the stomach of the German Shepherd. We have a Lab too and he'll eat anything. I'd recommend Taste of the Wild.

Taste of the Wild High Prairie - with Roasted Bison & Roasted Venison (dry) is a very good, grain free dog food that all of my babies seems to like. I like that this contains real ingredients and no by-products or additives. Real meat and quality ingredients and contains the right amount of nutrition to meet all dogs needs. But it is a bit pricey for the large size. I would like a larger sack because I have big eaters but cannot break the bank. I understand you pay for what you get, but sometimes, it's hard to buy.

I fed my dogs with Taste of the Wild for a year, but I have not been using them recently because of cost. It’s about $10 more than what we could get for 4Health at Tractor Supply. In addition, both are similar, so we just switched. But I was very happy with Taste of the Wild's. I liked the quality of their food and the ingredients. I breed Labrador Retrievers and have litters every five months. When I send the puppies to the customers, I include Taste of the Wild samples. Not all companies do that and I liked it. It’s very healthy. The dogs' stools are good with it because of the quality of the food. I always discourage customers from using junky food and Taste of the Wild is definitely on the good food list. I use the High Prairie Puppy Formula. The dogs' coats were good and we didn’t have any reactions. We don’t have dogs with food allergies.

Taste of the Wild PREY Angus Beef has simplified limited ingredients similar to what dogs would eat in nature and would be better for digestion. They have many different varieties to choose from. Grain free, no preservatives, non GMO, just four ingredients, low in calories, and 4 types to choose from by your dog's lifestyle. It's very expensive but it's worth it and it's hard to find in some stores. I usually order it on Amazon to get the best price.

My husband has English Bulldogs and we could not get their skin straightened out, and we couldn't resolve the problem. But once I put them on Taste of the Wild, their skin cleared right up. We've been using it for eight years. We use the puppy formula and the English Bulldogs are happy with it. The puppies are healthy when they're born because that's what the mom is eating. Their coats look beautiful and they love it.

Taste of the Wild PREY Turkey is wholesome and I'm satisfied. It is unlike anything that is on the market. I like that is fresh and not processed at all. More often than not there is a lot of processed foods especially dog food that many veterinarians despise and hate. As a result the proper nutrition that my dog should be getting is not received from eating the processed foods. Taste of the Wild avoids that issue and provides good and natural food to my dog. It is straight from the wild, and it doesn't have any gluten so my dog doesn't get any allergic reactions eating the product at all. But there should be a lot more variety of food than just lamb and bison.

I've been feeding my Greyhounds the exact same brand and flavor of kibble (Taste of the Wild, Sierra Mountain Canine - lamb - dry formula) for almost two years. About two months ago, both of my Greyhounds started having very soft stools. After a couple of days, I started removing other things from their daily diet, such as crunchy and soft treats, Greek yogurt, and anything else that wasn't kibble. Both dogs continued to have soft stools. I added brown rice to their meals, I withheld food for 24 hours, nothing helped. They both then had full, extensive blood work done. All was perfect. Our vet put the dogs on a probiotic and ** powder.

Taste of the Wild High Prairie Puppy Formula Grain-Free Dry Dog - On March 10th we picked up our 8-week old Chocolate lab puppy from the breeder. They started the puppies out on TOTW so I bought it and decided we would keep him on it since it was grain-free and had many positive reviews. About 3 days after coming home, his stools started becoming loose. I figured it must be the stress of moving. After about another week, the loose stools turned to soupy stools. I called the vet and had a fecal exam done. No parasite but "excess bacteria" in the sample. He was on a round of antibiotics for 7 days. I cut out any training treats I had been giving him and only use his food as his "treat". His stools continues to be soft and last night turned to full blown diarrhea.

I’ve been using Taste of the Wild for the last eight years and the dogs do well on it. I purchase it locally. I think they have a plant in Ripon, so one really doesn’t have to travel too far. Moreover, it has a good price. I have Irish Red and White Setter, I’m a breeder and we show our dogs. We have occasional litters and the litters are raised on the same food. I usually buy a five-pound bag of Taste of the Wild and they go home with it. As far as I know, most of our buyers stay with the Taste of the Wild. Everybody I have been in contact with was pleased with it. I use the old flavors, the bison, the salmon and the lamb and I’m happy with them. Having bred dogs for 40 years, not every dog does the same on every dog food. But with my own dogs, I only have a positive experience. I definitely would recommend Taste of the Wild and I’m gonna continue to use it.

Taste of the Wild is grain-free dog food that's comparable to the other foods that we use. It was on sale the day that we bought it, and we tried it right away. We bought two bags that lasted two weeks. However, we don't use it anymore. We have English and French Bulldogs, and their stomachs are very sensitive and it tore their stomachs up. They got severe diarrhea. I'm not sure what's in it, but something in it doesn't sit well. Our German Shepherd and Chihuahua did great, but not the English or the Frenchie.

I used the Taste of the Wild puppy formula on a bunch of puppies, and I only used it for two weeks. I stopped using it because there was a bunch of bad reviews on it and my pups weren't gaining weight, plus they were having diarrhea. At one point it was good food, but then my puppies started to get sick on it. They didn't have a good experience with it and I wasn’t satisfied. I got samples from Taste of the Wild, but I didn’t send them out because I wasn’t going to send something out that I wasn’t using on my puppies. We switched to Fromm dog food and that’s what I sent out with my puppies when I had them. But I would tell others to go online, search and read reviews because it may be better formulated now than it was then. Each breed of dog is different. Frenchies have a sensitive stomach so they can’t eat a bunch of stuff.

My dog hates the TOTW salmon flavor. She would spit it out and snub it, so I switched her to the Roasted Bison and Roasted Venison. She absolutely loves it, but 2 times now that I purchased a bag, she will not touch it like the salmon. I had to go out and buy a new bag for her to eat. The store wouldn't take it back since it was open, so I donated them. I feel like somehow at the manufacturer the salmon food somehow got into the bison bag. Very upset for the fact that I have to keep going out to purchase a new one and spend the money. This week the same thing happened, and as soon as I opened it, I could tell by looking at it that it looks like the salmon. I don't know if this is possible or can be fixed, but if it keeps happening, I'm going to have to switch foods. I'm losing an extra $50 everytime it happens. Being disabled and on a fixed income, I'm spending money I shouldn't have for no reason.

For over a year we raved about this food and recommended it to everyone. The last month or so, though, our dogs have been leaving their food lay in their bowls (and these are NOT picky dogs!). They’ve been having urinary issues, intermittent vomiting and are always acting like they’re hungry but refusing to eat their food. They were given clean bills of health from the vet so we were perplexed. We tried other formulations of ToTW in case they just no longer liked the formula we had been using with no change. I stumbled on a similar concern from someone I know and trust and did some research.

We've been feeding our dog TOTW Roasted Bison & Venison for several months and the dogs seemed happy with it. We opened a new bag recently and all three of our dogs started eating grass. One of the three went from being a happy, perky, food-loving dog to having soft green poop, throwing up, and acting like she's in pain. I started giving her plain meat and rice along with activated charcoal thinking that she got into something toxic (though I don't know how... we are very careful). After a day of that she started to perk up and stopped throwing up; I thought she was getting better.

We breed German Shepherds and we have been using Taste of The Wild for three years. We used Royal Canin's German Shepherd breed brand but it was always sold out and a lot more expensive. We decided to try Taste of The Wild and it worked out great. We have a litter about once a year and it's really important to keep them on the same food that they've started on. Since Taste of The Wild doesn't have very big bags, I send a gallon sized bag to customers. With the last litter I had, Taste of The Wild sent me the little packs and I sent those so that the buyers could see the package they were looking for at the store. We use the High Prairie formula and it works for us. I'd recommend it to anybody that I can.

I bought a white West Highland terrier and I liked how Taste of the Wild said that the water was distilled. I also liked that TOTW helped not work with staining the tear ducts. We are using the Salmon Stream and I haven't had any problems with it, so I’ll stick with it. If my dog has an accident in the house, his stool is not runny so he’s absorbing all the nutrients in his food. I really prefer that it is firm, which is easier to clean-up.

When our lab outgrew puppy food, we experimented with many different brands of adult food. But Lucy always had stinky gas, yuck. After trying Taste of the Wild Fowl, no more gas, ever! We have had her on the food for over 6 years, and will start new puppy on the same thing when she's old enough.

We're hobby breeders of small dogs and our dogs are raised at our house. We maintain three females and two males. And we've been doing this for over 20 years. My husband's been doing it most of his life. We do genetic testing. We're trying to raise the most healthy, happy, athletic dog that we can. Most of the dogs we sell are pets.

I breed Cairn Terriers and I got them from 1 to 13 years of age. I was looking for grain-free dog food and I liked the ingredients that were in Taste of The Wild. I use their Pacific Stream variant as I like the salmon that’s in it. I’ve been using TOTW for about five years and my dogs are all healthy. I only have one with an itching issue and I might try her on another food but everybody does well on TOTW. When people come and pick up the little puppies, I tell them that that’s the food that the puppies' mom is on. I also give them samples. However, TOTW should do more for their breeders as far as puppy packs to give. Other companies give health records to fill out and more information on the food other than just a couple of little bags of it.

I've been using Taste of The Wild for three years, and my dogs have a better coat from switching to it. Taste of the Wild was rated a 5-star on Pet Food Advisor, too. I have Labs, and I have litters once a year. And I usually send those puppies home with the new Taste of The Wild samples. I found that it's a very good dog food and it's better for the puppies if they stay on the food that they have been introduced to. I typically use the high prairie, and then my dogs eat different ones. I contacted their customer service when I signed up to get the free samples, and it was an easy process.

I have a Pure Breed Rottweiler. He has many food allergies. I have this issue in the past with other Pure Bred Rottweilers. I went through a huge list of dog foods. My boy can only have the Bison & Venison. I've tried most of your varieties, and he had allergic reactions to them. He cannot have Pork, Chicken, Beef and many other ingredients. I'm glad I was able to at least find the one that has worked since he was a puppy. He is now 5.

I bought this dog food on March 22, 2018. My dogs has been eating this brand his whole life and all of a sudden he just started throwing up. I took him off of the dogs out and put him onboard chicken and rice for two days. He was OK. No more throwing up so I put him back on the dog food and he started back throwing up so I completely feeding this to him.

Taste of the Wild High Prairie Grain Free Dog Food - I wanted to try a new dog food and I bought a bag of the TOTW High Prarie Dog Food from Chewy on March 20, 2018. After a few days of eating the food both of my dogs started vomiting. My older dog has also become very lethargic and confused. I have stopped feeding my dogs this food. I went and looked for reviews to see if anyone else has had issues with the food and saw a lot of other people whose dogs are having the same symptoms.

We’ve been using Taste of the Wild for our dogs for four and a half years now. And over other brands, we selected it as the food is grain-free. We breed Siberian Huskies and we have litters twice a year. For the puppies, we normally use the orange bag as it was the only puppy flavor that was offered at the location I got and the one they had when I first started. My dogs like it and they keep the perfect weight. We’re very satisfied with Taste of the Wild.

I've been using Taste of The Wild for my Labrador Retrievers for 2 1/2 years now. We also have an oddball Rottie in our family and she eats TOTW too. We have litters three to four times a year and these are high-performance pups and so I recommend new puppy owners TOTW. Puppyhood is the most crucial development, in bones and joints, and it determines food allergies, preventing that for the rest of their lives. TOTW is a good foundation for their coats, teeth, bones, and for overall growth and development.

I breed rottweilers and they range from 90 to 140 pounds. I've been using Taste of The Wild for around four years. I feed it to my dogs and promote it to my customers. I use the salmon pacific stream because we have large and very muscular working dog and we need something with a lot of protein. And salmon is a higher protein choice over the bison. I purchase a lot of this dog food and it is one of my major expenses. But it's a good buy and it works. The dogs' coats are shiny and their bones are better.

This is the only dog food I will feed my Greyhound. We started him on the Prairie formula and then talked to customer service and they put us in contact with their company vet and she had us switch to the Pacific Stream formula, which works better for him. This company is so awesome.

I recently received a complimentary sample of Taste of the Wild angus beef formula. I began sampling by serving it as a treat and now my dog just can’t get enough. We are almost out and I know for sure we are definitely going to be purchasing a bag soon. I love that this is a GMO free formula, safe enough for our chihuahua.

I received some samples of a Turkey flavor dry food for my cats complimentary from Influenster. My cats have sensitive bellies and are super picky eaters - they went wild for this stuff! They recommend introducing it slowly to your pets, which I did, and treated it like a treat to see how they’d react and how it would settle for them - they were sniffing around looking for more! I highly recommend!

A TOTW representative contacted me and we had a beneficial conversation where I am satisfied that I need not be concerned about the Taste of The Wild that I am feeding to my Boxer. Since my dog has not had any ill effects since being fed TOTW for a number of years, I will continue with the same product. Many thanks to TOTW for its quick and honest response.

I raise puppies and had started them on Eukanuba, and I switched to Iams before they left home. But there was a big recall in Eukanuba and they pulled all the Iams off the shelf as well, so I felt insecure with the company. People all around have recalled every time I think about changing something, and then the recalls end up being from other companies. There are some people who want Blue Buffalo, and they have a recall right now as well. I've been using Taste of the Wild for our dogs for at least four years and I stayed with it because of the other companies' recall status.

There was a dog food adviser and Taste of the Wild had a good rating in it. That’s also part of the reason my mom uses it. Sometimes my dog goes over there so it’s nice to just be able to feed them the same food. I've been with Taste of the Wild for about four years. Sometimes, dogs eat the same all the time and they get bored with it. I can just switch the bag and they love it so, I never had an issue with my dogs eating it. I have three corgies and we had three litters. They’re super healthy, they have shiny coats, and they have a healthy weight. They’re eating the salmon right now. We kind of switch between the salmon, the duck and then the high prairie and they like the high prairie. Taste of the Wild does a really good job. The varieties are great and the bag size works for me. My dogs love it and they look good. I recommend it to my puppy buyers.

I love Taste of The Wild. I've heard a lot of good things about it and I've been using it for over two years now. Half of my animals eat it while I have some girls on Royal Canin because that's the way they have been eating before. But I love both brands, so they're all I get. One time, I went in at the store and they recommended the High Prairie one and that's what I stuck to. So far, all of my puppies have good stools and for me, that's important. They don't get diarrhea or the runs. They have a good digestive system because Taste of the Wild is grain-free. Plus, they like it. I see them eat it and they're all much pretty healthy on it. I usually send them home with Taste of the Wild samples and I tell their new owners not to change their food. I recommend it to others as well. It's great for my dogs, so I'm sure that it would be great for theirs.

I've been feeding ToW to my Standard Poodle since he was 6 months old (now 8 years, 1 month, 1 day - happy, energetic & in fine health!) I had done extensive "homework" when deciding on a long-term diet & remained satisfied. Earlier this year, I read a report about something called the "Clean Label Project" and decided to do further research. ToW's rankings were much lower than I had placed them, so further investigation was in order...

They agreed to send me a refund. It is resolved

My Siberian and Border Collie have been eating Taste Of The Wild for about two years now, with no problems at all. About a month ago, as usual, I got them Taste Of The Wild Pacific Stream Dry Dog Food... Only this time the smell of the food had a strong smell of chemicals. I noticed that after this, my dogs became depressed and lethargic with a foul breath smell. We are in the process of trying different foods and we are seeing some improvement already. Sadly, we have to move away from Taste of the Wild for now, due to the recent results.

Wow! We are very impressed and pleased with the customer service of Taste of The Wild! We talked to Dr Heldman who was extremely kind and caring. We are being refunded for our 2 extra puppy's stool samples and the large bag of food. We are unsure what was wrong with it. Maybe it was stored improperly (we bought it off amazon). For the past 2 weeks now, our puppy is back on the exact food she loves so much (just a new bag of the same food from a store) and she is doing completely fine! We are so happy because we love Taste of the Wild ingredients and what they stand for! I will now be going back and rating this company's food a 5 star! Thank you so much and we are blessed to have found such a great food that has great service behind it!

My dog, an over 100 pound male GSD, has been eating TotW for quite some time. He needs grain free food, so this worked well for us. In February he started to have bloody diarrhea, but he ate some of my son's spicy chicken wings, so we thought that was the issue. We fed him rice and pumpkin and then purchased a bag of Fromm (our preferred food for him, but very expensive). Once his digestive issues seemed to have passed and the Fromm bag was finished we purchased a bag of TotW again on Friday March 30th. It is now April 2nd and he has had bloody diarrhea, panting, and refuses to eat anything. That means that within three days he has gotten extremely sick, and since he has had nothing except this food to eat since Friday there is no way it is any other issue.

I have been using Taste of the Wild for some years now. They got different bags of stuff. And we like the product trucked in from chewy.com. That’s a good thing. I'm breeding Malinois, English Bulldogs and Chihuahuas. I send those puppies to their new homes with Taste of the Wild. It's healthy for them to have that food and it's the best or I wouldn’t use it. I only buy the best for my dogs. They're family members.

We used Taste of The Wild for quite a few years, and we switched late last year because our dog needed a little bit different diet. It has a lot of fillers, it's got a lot of lentils, peas, legumes, garbanzo beans, and then sweet potato in it. Our dogs just don't do so well with those types of fillers. And then, as a breeder, there were something going around about the phytoestrogens that are contained in the legumes and the peas and the garbanzo beans was messing up the estrous cycles for female dogs. So we decided to just take them off that. But otherwise, we really did like Taste of The Wild. It was a good food, especially for the price.

I like Taste of the Wild and I recommend it. I've been using it for at least seven years now. It's really good for my exotic animals and it's gluten-free. It keeps them healthy because they're not eating any by-products, hormones, gluten, or dairy, and I've never had a health issue with any animal. I'm a breeder of dogs and cats and when I sell them, I routinely send them home with samples of it. And per my contract, their new owners have to continue giving them Taste of the Wild.

Bought TOTW based on top 10 healthiest dog food article and recommendations from others using the product. First feeding with only a quarter of her feeding being comprised of TOTW and the rest IAMS Large Breed Puppy. Within an hour she had diarrhea and began acting nervous with panting. She would not eat at her next feeding and was vomiting after drinking water. Lethargy was definitely observed as others have stated. Waited until next feeding (Blue Freedom Large Breed was used). She ate well and immediately showed more energy. Production Code Best By 29/JAN/2019 8029330 THP0105A3S JET 15:55.

We’ve been feeding our dogs Taste of The Wild for over a year without problems. About three weeks ago, our dog started becoming sick and vomiting repeatedly. After taking her to the vet, all her test results came back healthy and we switched her to a bland diet and upset stomach medication. She stopped getting sick. Twice now, we’ve put her back onto Taste of the Wild and she went back to vomiting; this occurred between two different large bags. At this point, I’m moving onto a new dog food brand.

We've been using TOTW High Prairie Puppy Formula for several months now w/ no problems. We received a new batch on March 28th. She ate the new batch for dinner on the 28th and breakfast and dinner on the 29th. Starting about 11 pm on the 29th she started throwing up. She was then up all night throwing up, acting lethargic and diarrhea. We assumed she ate something outside, but after reading the recent reviews, I now believe it's because of the food. She spent all the 30th at the vet w/ no food or water.

I've used TOTW for four years and I loved it but I would never recommend them again. Before, I was telling everybody about Taste of The Wild and it was one of the best dog food. I used the yellow bags and the puppy formula. I didn't mind paying $50 a bag for 30 pounds 'cause I knew I was getting quality. Taste of The Wild was bought by Diamond and Diamond was bought by another company. When I had a litter of 10 puppies last year, I had called them up and they sent me a box of samples. And all 10 puppies went to Taste of The Wild, and now I feel bad 'cause there's been a lot of recalls. So I switched to raw dog food. TOTW being bought out really brought down the quality of the dog food. But the staff at TOTW was great. The lady I spoke to last February, was so wonderful.

I've been feeding my dogs with Taste of The Wild for a couple of years now. I heard that the product was really good and high in quality. It is a very good dog food and my dogs like the taste of it. I've noticed that my dogs' coats are healthy and they have plenty of energy. The only bad or hard part about it is its price, which is a little bit high, so sometimes I have to alternate the dog food I use, but that's mostly what I feed them. I have a Great Dane and he can go through a 50-pound bag in no time, and it costs a lot to feed him.

I used Taste of The Wild for a long time, but I'm not using it anymore. We stopped using it because of the studies that have been going on with Golden Retrievers and the Taurine levels in dilated cardiomyopathy. We don't feed them grain-free anymore which is upsetting because I really liked Taste of the Wild. I was on the breeders’ programs and all my puppies ate it, and it was very good for them. I was using the High Prairie which I really loved and my dogs were great. I also loved the puppy food that Taste of the Wild sent to me.

I recently bought the wet food of Taste of the Wild and my dog loved it. I decided to stop the wet food and start the dry food. After 1 week of feeding him the small kibble he has developed a allergy where he is constantly itching himself. I had to start giving him children's ** just to relieve him from the itching. I will be switching his food to Nutro Essentials, that's very upsetting to buy the food that you think is a good brand when in fact it causes harm to your dog. I would definitely not recommend this food to any dog.

My wife and I have owned three Wheaten Terriers over the past thirty some years. The first (Houligan) and the second (Ruffian) both had skin allergies that affect most Wheaten's. Our current dog Bogey is 4 years old and dines exclusively on Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream dog food which contains salmon. Bogey has no skin allergies what so ever and some of it may be in his DNA. I think Taste of the Wild has a lot to do with his great coat and skin. Your dog will love you even more once you start giving them Taste of the Wild!

We breed Labradors and have been using Taste of the Wild for three years, specifically the Pacific Salmon because in Florida fish tends to be better because of the heat. It’s more of a cold protein that’s better than the beef and the venison. Taste of the Wild is grain-free, simple and kind of medium kibbles. They also had decent reviews from Dog Food Advisor. I also recommend it to new owners because it's best to keep puppies on the same food they were weaned on. We never seem to have any problems but I’d like for them to come up with a pea-and-legume-free recipe. I recommend it all the time.

We’ve been using both Taste of the Wild and the affiliate brands that they manufacture for nine years because they offer the small kibble for the smaller mouths. We specialize in Miniature Huskies. We started using it because we live in a very small community and have been ordering it through Amazon so it could get delivered to the house. Moreover, since it is comparable and made roughly the same as Nature’s Domain it is an easy transition for people to go to that if they needed a more affordable option.

I have Australian Labradoodles and they have litters once a year. My dogs were on Purina for years and all of them got sick. We traced it back to the ingredients that were in the food coming out of China. I almost lost one dog and it was awful and sad. My vet recommended Taste of The Wild and I'm glad that I found the food that agrees with them. It's wonderful and I like the food. I use the High Prairie, both Puppy and Adult. Not all dog food have puppy food associated with it and not all mother dogs like every puppy food. We've been using Taste of the Wild for about a year and a half now and it's made the dogs' health better. Then I tried to get samples and they were going to be sent to me. They said they were out of whatever I used, and that they were getting them in, but I never got them. Other than that, I recommend Taste of The Wild to everybody especially to the new owners of the puppies as it's the food that the puppies were on.

My dog who severe allergies has been on TOWT Pacific Stream dog food for several years without issue. Just read about other pet owners complaining about bloody diarrhea in their dogs which my dog also experience and continues to have issues with his poop. I only found this information as I was searching for any information about this food because we suspected that his issues was the food. IT appears to be different -smaller and flatter in diameter. Have there been any CHANGES in this product?

I've been purchasing TOTW through Chewy for a while and he like a lot of the other dogs that I'm reading about has now started throwing up and has diarrhea, he has a vet appointment tomorrow to figure out what is wrong. I'm terrified that I'm going to lose my best friend. Please please please do something. I feel horrible because he loved this food and this last batch he didn't want to eat, but I didn't read the signs, and I left it in his bowl and he ate it anyway. Here is the production code of the bag. Best By 21 Dec 2018 7355 TDH1211 AJC 13:41 337.

I’m a Pomeranian breeder and have six to eight litters a year. I was using Bil-Jac at first. And I didn’t like it because it broke up very easily. The second it went in water, it disintegrated. I didn’t feel like that was good for my dogs’ teeth because they need that crunch to break down the tartar and stuff on their teeth. And then I tried the Fromm Holistic. That time, my girls were pregnant, and their puppies were born huge after I had tried the Fromm.

I've been using Taste of The Wild for three years now and they should keep up on the good work. I breed Alaskan Malamutes and we have two or three litters a year. We feed our adult dogs the Diamond Natural brand but I feed Taste of the Wild to my puppies. We’re tried other brands but it's been the only food that I can get solid stools out of. We started this last litter on Nutro and the diarrhea was terrible. Then we switched them over to the Taste of The Wild Roasted Bison and Venison formula and within a few days, they were good. I recommend it to all my other breeder friends.

I’ve been using Taste of the Wild for my dogs for a long time. For one, because they’re all-natural ingredients. I like the fact that they have a higher protein content than a lot of the commercial foods that are available. They were recommended to me by another person that shows and breeds their dog, that the coats were very good. We breed Tibetan mastiffs. This year I had two liters. I bag some of my Taste of the Wild formula in quart Ziploc bag and send it home with them because I like for them to stay on the same food initially because I don’t want to change foods at the same time they’re changing homes and stressed them out.

We've been using Taste of the Wild for six months now. We had a friend that told us about it and we started using it. We've been using Pedigree pet food for all of our puppies and we figured out that the transition from pet food to hard food was much easier using Taste of the Wild. We have Maltese, Yorkies, Shorkies, and Morkies, and we usually raise around 10 a year. We have used Pacific Stream and we've also tried the Sierra Mountain blend. The first time we send in a batch of breeder program, we got all the information together and we mailed it. We got the products back last week but it was damaged. In the meantime, they have sent us a box of samples and that's what we used in our last litter of pups. I did email all that information again today. The dogs' moods are more even, they're a lot more energetic than they used to be, and the puppies play longer.

I read about all of the other brands of dog food and it was hard to find no grain, just pure Buffalo. But I was looking for something with high protein because I have dogs and I want good coats, everything that they need to grow and grow well. Taste of the Wild is like 32% protein and that's a good amount. Also with no grain. And now we've been using Taste of the Wild for five years. We were breeding Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.

Updated on 08/07/2022: Back in March of 2018, I wrote a review about Taste of The Wild Grain Free causing explosive diarrhea with my Alaskan Malamute and Husky/Malamute. Taste of the Wild was very good with refunding my money for the bag of food and I continued to trust the company for another 4 years. During that time, I switched to Taste of The Wild High Prairie with ancient grains. I have been feeding that to my Malamute for 3 years. All of the sudden, the same thing started again. She started with explosive diarrhea. I started her on a bland diet of rice and chicken.

I had heard that Taste of the Wild was one of the better puppy foods so when I got into breeding, that was what I used on all of the puppies that we have. The brand I use on my adults doesn’t have a puppy food so I’ve always used Taste of the Wild Puppy. It was recommended by other breeders. I’ve been using it on and off for about three years. I used to put Taste of the Wild in Ziplocks so that if the puppies are transitioning they have enough food to do that with. But now, Taste of the Wild send me little packets to be able to send with the puppies to their new home.

I was using Royal Canin and I heard that they had some things wrong with it. I breed Yorkies and I have really nice dogs. And I have a reputation to stand and hold -- I only have two, so I have three litters a year. But I just bought a poodle so it will be six with her once she gets in time to breed. I did not want to take a chance, so I went with Taste of the Wild. I routinely send the puppies to their new homes with Taste of the Wild samples, too. I use the Puppy and it was the salmon and I have had the bison, too. I got samples from the store, and then I saw what ones that the dogs like the best. I want my dogs to get a good start. Even though Yorkies are tiny, they need really good nutrition. It’s a good quality food. If I’m gonna pay good money for food, I don’t care but I want them to be good quality. I just told one of the gals that bought one of my puppies when I was still doing Royal Canin. She switched now.

We've been using Taste of the Wild because of the ingredients and it has been five years. We breed Great Danes and recommend Taste of the Wild dog food to the new owners because if they’re doing good on the dog food then why switch it. It contributes to their coat.

My dogs have been eating TOTW for about a year now. We recently relocated with two very healthy dogs. In the past two months, our dogs have experienced bloody stools, diarrhea, and vomiting, so we asked our new vet to run a blood panel for baseline information. The results were horrifying. Our Jack Russell Terrier has liver issues, and our Greyhound/Lab mix was in early stages of liver failure. Five weeks later, just four days ago, we had a follow up blood panel done for our GL mix, and the progression was off the charts, even the vet AND a specialist said they had never seen anything like it.

My dog had been eating this TOTW (Pacific Stream Dry Food) no problem. Until suddenly, he stopped eating it and had very loose stool on the days I could get him to eat it. This went on for about a month. Last week it got so bad he had diarrhea and had to go to the vet. It was determined to be the food itself as he did not previously have this reaction. His skin and ears were very irritated along with some vomiting. He is now off of it and has to be transitioned into a new food using chicken and rice. I chose this brand as it was rated number 3 for 2018 and I have always heard good things. I have read similar complaints with all food bought around the same time this bag was. I have lost trust and he will not be eating TOTW again.

My dog has been on TOTW salmon and sweet potato for over 5 years with no issues. Last week we bought a new large bag... we noticed the packaging was different nbd. Got home and poured it into her food container and it smelled different than it normally does, almost stronger like a chemical smell. Thought it was the new packaging and fed her a meal. She immediately blew up! Severe red rash and bumps all over her underside, her paws doubled in size and overnight she chewed them raw and bloody. Puking and diarrhea non-stop. We threw away the bag unfortunately so we don’t know the batch number and she’s been to the vet hospital twice in 3 days trying to get any relief. This is crazy, seems to be an issue right now with a lot of people!

Taste of the Wild has a better price than some of the more common brands, and I like that it's grain-free. One of my Havenese males was having an allergic reaction to the grain in one of the other foods I was feeding him, and when I switched to Taste of the Wild, it totally cleared up. I've been using it for two years and it's been working for me. I use High Prairie Puppy on both my nursing mothers and my puppies. It's less trauma on the puppy’s system to stay with what they're having no matter what it is.

We sell German Shepherd, Rottweiler, and Pomeranian puppies all over the United States and I have used Taste of The Wild for a very long time. We have been purchasing the bison and venison. It was no grain and things to that effect. I’ve had all of our parents using that, which was a lot of people. There is a program that is catered to where TOTW sends out samples and things to us and that makes the big difference and the little pamphlets to go. They had puppy tacks themselves. The stools always came out pretty good for the puppies.

I've been using the Taste of the Wild dog food for my Chesapeake Bay retrieves because it is made in America, it’s grain-free and it’s got high quality ingredients. We have litters at least twice a year and I give the new owners puppy packs with the sample packs of dog food and I print off a page from the Taste of the Wild website. I believe that Taster of the Wild is a high quality food that enables the puppy to get everything that it needs while its immune system is developing.

Our pet normally thrives on this food, but the last bag of Puppy Formula we bought about a week ago has made him very sick. He is vomiting and has diarrhea a few hours after eating. I wanted to write this review so that quality control can look into the issue, and see if they need to recall product. This has all happened around the same date as others have posted (same issues) so I think this food is the common denominator. We're taking the food back to the store we bought it from (Orchards Feed in Vancouver, WA) and will need to switch to another brand until this issue is addressed.

Taste of the Wild is a 5 star company! The food is great and the customer service reps and veterinarian are wonderful. I have been feeding TOTW for over 5 years now. My current dog, Fly, had some diarrhea. Instead of simply giving the food a one star review, I called the company. As it turns out the issue was not food related at all. As consumers and pet lovers I believe that it is up to us to check things out for ourselves, rather than just placing blame. If you have a sick dog, and think it is the food- please just call TOTW and your vet if necessary. Several people have called the FDA and the FDA has thoroughly checked the food and have found nothing wrong.

My dog was fine with her first few batches of TOTW. Her last batch she became very ill after three days of eating it. Diarrhea, vomiting, and lethargic, same symptoms as some of the other dogs. Took her off this food immediately. My heart hurt to see her not wanting to eat, no energy, and depressed for a week. Switched her to another brand, and glad she is back to normal.

My 5 yr old mini schnauzer just switched to TOTW a little over a month ago. I purchased the 5lb bag to see if he liked it. He totally devoured it. I restocked with the larger bag. I immediately noticed that the appearance was different. However not having the smaller bag to prove my suspicions I let it go. My dog now poops upwards of 6 -10 times a day. He also has developed the foulest poop smelling breath. I have to switch him from TOTW. I purchased from Chewy so if necessary I can prove my purchase.

My 1 year old Lab mix had been eating TOTW for about 2 months with no issue. About 2 weeks ago she started vomiting, was very lethargic and had bloody diarrhea. The vet put her on bland food and nausea medication. She got better after a few days but she absolutely refuses to eat TOTW, even after she hadn’t eaten a full meal in days. I didn’t think it was the food at first, but after days of her refusing to eat it, I am not taking my chances.

I’ve been using TOTW for years now. The high prairie formula almost exclusively up until recently. The store was out so I bought a bag of Sierra mountain. I gradually introduced it to my yellow lab and it was fine until all the kibble was Sierra mountain. Then, like all of these recent Feb/March reviews, my dog had diarrhea, was hacking and wouldn’t touch the food. He’s obsessed with food and won’t go near it.

The trout & salmon dry cat food, was the only food our cat could eat w/o having digestive issues. Our newly adopted cat loves this food and his coat is soft and he has no tummy issues at all. The quality is great and obviously it must taste great. I plan to try the venison flavor so that my cats don't have the same food every day. Keep up the great work. This is on the food I will feed my cats.

This is my second review. As I've stated in my first review I've used TOTW for over a decade and other than my littlest dog with known IBS I haven't had problems. More recently the little one has been getting sick much more often so I've changed his food. Now, my pitbull is sick. She is vomiting with diarrhea for the past two days, ever since I bought a new bag of TOTW. She has NEVER been sick! She didn't want to eat breakfast yesterday or today. This morning she threw up as soon as she finished eating. She's been eating grass all day today and there was some blood in her most recent vomit and diarrhea. I really hate to change foods but between all the recent bad reviews of the same thing and my own experience, I have to. I really hope you do some investigating. This is beyond scary.

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.
