Ancient Prairie Canine Recipe with Roasted Bison & Roasted Venison is rated out of 5 by 551.Rated 5 out of 5 by Sandy from Peace of mind for me and a healthy, tasteful food. I started my male Labrador on Taste of the Wild as an eight week old puppy. He was incrediblely anxious to eat his meal even back then. I have continued with the adult “Prairie” blend which he continues to devour. I have researched pet food health benefits for many months now and Taste of the Wild rates very well with most advocate groups, vets, and trainers. Rio is a healthy, strapping 7.5 month old pup. His stools are solid, his coat beautiful, and he is not susceptible to stomach issues. Further, I am retired and this pet food is a good value when stacked up against the other options. In closing, I am very pleased with Taste of the Wild, and will continue to purchase the product!Date published: 2020-01-16Rated 5 out of 5 by Sarah00 from Helped my pups stomach problems My Australian Shepherd is a year and half old and his whole life he has suffered from diarrhea until I switch to taste of the wild ancient grains. As soon as I switch to ancient grains he has been so happy! I prefer ancient grains over the grain free recipe because my vet told us not to go grain free unless there is a real food allergy to grain. I have tried so many different dog foods and this is the only dog food that has helped his stomach issues. I also choose because of the high level of glucosamine for healthy joints, and for the variety of flavors! I can change up to different flavors of the ancient grains and my dog loves getting a new flavor every month!Date published: 2022-04-25Rated 5 out of 5 by Bputz23 from Our French Bulldog puppies love this ! For the past 8 years we have started all of our French Bulldog puppy litter with this food. Every since we started using Taste of The Wild Venison & Bison all of our puppies have loved it, plus we know we are starting there healthy lives off on the right pawsDate published: 2022-04-26Rated 5 out of 5 by Hoss1 from The BEST! I take great care as to what I put in my body and that is no different for my dogs. We live an active, adventurous life so they need the best and Taste of The Wild is the best! That’s all they eat from puppy to elder. I have an 8 month blue heeler, 7 year coonhound and 12 year shepherd mix. I can say the only thing different about the puppy verse the old pup is he just got wiser. Same activity level and I believe that’s a huge part of their diet. Won’t buy anything else.Date published: 2020-10-15Rated 5 out of 5 by Jazz and Stormy from Our Aussies finally have a food they actually love We hav high energy, performance dogs, Even though they play and work hard they just didn't want to eat their food, we were buying very expensive dog food and they would just use it around in their bowl. We decided to try taste of the wild ancient prairie canine recipe; they loved it. We have been feeding it for a year and they are still not bored. We have a litter of puppies and have started them on TOTW puppy, they enjoy it too! Thank you for making a healthy dog food that my dogs actually enjoy!Date published: 2023-03-14Rated 5 out of 5 by Rachj from Our dog loves this food and he’s healthier Our 1 yr old lab was having issues with loose stools and vomiting. It was getting so bad it was almost daily. We had him on a popular brand but then started researching the ingredients. The fillers used in this food was among the worst for him. We just recently completed the change over to Taste of the Wild and he hasn’t had any issues with vomiting or loose stools since. Plus he absolutely loves it. He used to let his food sit in his dish for hours, now he begs to be fed.Date published: 2020-09-16Rated 5 out of 5 by christine n buddy from my big boy i have been using taste of the wild for 18 yrs with 3 of my furry kids ; my 2 that passed were on pacific stream ; my boy now is an american bully n our vet recommended a limited protein because Buddy is allergic to many proteins;we tried the ancient grains roasted venison n roasted bison n boom it was an instant hit with him n with mommy here too seeing as no allergys flared up what so ever ; he has now been on it for 4 yrs n we r very pleased n will always use taste of the wild food ; the price is very responsable n the quality is great ; tu so much for such a wonderful product that we fully trust n will recommned to family n friends ;Date published: 2022-04-25Rated 5 out of 5 by Rubi from Rubi loves her Bison!

Hello, and thanks for reaching out.

Our PREY formulas can be great options for pets with sensitivities due to their limited ingredients. Each formula contains no more than four key ingredients (one animal protein source, sunflower oil, tomato pomace and lentils). We also recommend consulting with your veterinarian to determine the best diet for your dogs, based on their needs.Date published: 2021-05-19My goldendoodle is highly allergic to poultry, fish, diary and peanut butter. I currently have him on the ancient grain venison and bison. However I see it has chicken meal and chicken fat. Do you have any product that does NOT contain chicken products?
Hello, thanks for contacting us. Our Ancient Mountain Canine Recipe does not contain chicken as a main protein source. It does include a natural flavor derived from chicken. The natural flavor is added in an amount that is not likely to trigger allergies in pets.
