TASTE OF THE WILD DOG REVIEW: WHY PEOPLE RUSH AND GET IT FOR THEIR FAVORITE PETS


 





TASTE OF THE WILD DOG

SO GOOD FOR PETS THAT OWNERS CAN'T WAIT

Analysis

Taste of the Wild Dog Food uses a unique but common sense approach to dog food; that is using natural lean meats and vegetables that a dog would eat as if it were in the wild.

The company believes that dogs should eat according to their genetic makeup and instinctual cravings. Thus, the high quality wet and dry products contain a rich blend of healthy, low-fat proteins like roasted duck, chicken, bison, and ocean fish.

The addition of eggs aids in producing a thick, shiny coat and vegetables add valuable nutrients and antioxidants. Unlike other generic brands, there are no starchy grains or nasty chemicals in the mix and the natural, wild ingredients ensure a healthy mix of omega 3 fatty acids, probiotics, and essential minerals.
We believe that this dog food goes above and beyond its competitors for superior taste, a balanced nutritional blend, and excellent, high quality ingredients.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY 

Customer reviews of Taste of the Wild tend to be very positive.

The food is palatable in both wet and dry formulas, making it easy to switch from the old food to Taste of the Wild without a hitch. It comes in a number of meat and vegetable formulas to please the palates of the pickiest dogs and also accommodates for many food allergies and sensitivities.

Most customers point out a visible change in the behavior and appearance in their pets, reporting higher energy, sleeker coats and healthier stools.

Some customers do complain of the price, but most contend that the extra cost is worth the quality, namely grain-free formulas for dogs with sensitive stomachs and a high concentration of one hundred percent meat with no byproducts. Both formulas are also somewhat too high in fats to feed to sedentary dogs without caloric restriction and portion monitoring.

 Overall, though, TOTW is a product with a good reputation that serves many dogs well.
LOOK THROUGH DIFFERENT CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE

  • APD
    We have been feeding TOTW (Sierra Formula) to our dog for ~1.5 years with no problems until now. Since switching to a new bag, purchased on May 21, our dog has been not excited and nervous to eat, extremely lethargic, and had moderate GI issues. After a day of complete hunger strike (she refused to touch the food)… we switched back to a different brand of dry food mixed with canned food for GI upset (provided by the vet). She happily devoured everything and GI/lethargy issues were gone within days. Reported to the vet and pet store, but we did not save the TOTW bag UPC. Something appears to be wrong with this food, based on the other recent comments. We will not be switching back to TOTW.

      its hard to say after having your dog on say TOW if it is food causing the problem.
      I went thru this with CANIDAE ALS after feeding it for 5 yrs.
      we just don’t know and even a trip to vets cant find reason at times.
      older dogs over 9 yrs old get funny stomach problems caused by health and everything else as we get older.
      yes I believe at times it is dog food causing something to not agree with dogs AFTER USING it for years.
      but again, WE JUST DONT KNOW IF ITS FOOD ….

      I have been feeding Fromme’s food to my Bichon Poodles. They liked it more than any food ever. However, when I went to reorder it I saw recalls. My groomer recommended TOTW. I got the Sierra Mtn dry. My dogs will not eat it. Now get this…When I opened the bag, the kibble looks EXACTLY like the Fromme’s kibble. I knew right away the same company must make both. How sad that we try to buy the best and the company owners are too lazy/stupid, or just plain too sorry to police their product. Maybe if one of them ever had a pet they loved, they would show a little character, integrity, and compassion.

      Fromm has never had a recall on any of their products…

    I have fed Taste of the Wild for 6 years to my dogs. In the last month they have experienced diarrhea and vomiting. They also do not want to eat it and will leave it in the bowl. I am trying to figure out what feed to switch to. So far Dick Van Patten’s Natural Balance is looking the best.
