High Prairie Puppy Recipe with Roasted Bison & Roasted Venison is rated out of 5 by 252.Rated 5 out of 5 by StephanieW from Love the food but confused about ingredient label! My rescue GSD loves the High Prairie food, and it has done wonders for her overall appearance - her coat has thickened and softened so much - and she's so playful and happy. Easy on the tummy, too. She never gets sick eating it. My friend uses the High Prairie puppy formula. My only confusion is over the labeling. If you look at the ingredients and the guaranteed analysis on your WEBSITE, both of them list taurine, which is important for me. Not a lot of dog foods include it. However, when you look at the actual label on the bag, taurine is omitted. Why?Date published: 2019-02-07Rated 5 out of 5 by Mabel P Stewart from Never been so happy to see my dog eat! Mabel is a 6 month old GSD mix puppy. After being on 3 other puppy foods prior, at the recommendation from a friend, we tried TOTW High Prairie Puppy. Mabel was having some stomach problems, wasn't interested in eating, had started to lose weight because she was vomiting up the food we had her on at the time(and no it wasn't cheap stuff), and also has a sensitivity to chicken. We took her to the vet and had a barium swallow and x-rays done just to be sure there wasn't an obstruction. Everything came back normal. So we bought a bag and after a few days on this food she is excited to eat, dances around her food dish, has more energy, and is back to acting like an energetic puppy!Date published: 2018-04-19Rated 5 out of 5 by Harness1994 from Our Dogs Look Amazing We Have Been Feeding Taste of The Wild High Prairy Puppy Food For 5 years.. Our Dogs Love it.. Our 4lb Chihuahua Bella Has been on it Since She was a Puppy.. She is 7yrs old now. She is still on Puppy Formula Because of how Sensitive She is to other flavors and the Small Pieces are Easier for Her to Eat .. She Does Great on it. Our 2yr 10lb Chihuahua Mix Daisy is Gaining to much Weight on the puppy food.. We are going to cut back and see if that Does the Trick. If not will be switching to small breed adult TOTW.. What Flavor of Food Would You Recommend I Try That Will Be Small Kibble , Easy On My Sensitive Chihuahuas Stomach and Help My Bigger Chihuahua With Weight ? Thank You For a Great Product.. I Highly Recommend TOTW !!!!!!Date published: 2019-03-04Rated 5 out of 5 by Molly from My owner was away from his computer... Hi, my name is Molly. I’m a Wheaten Terrier, 14 weeks old, and I am writing to comment (don't tell my owner I'm using his computer) about Taste of the Wild puppy formula. My owner switched me over to this after arriving at my new home. I must say, I really like the taste! I always finish my meals, right down to the last kibble, so I’m sure that the TOTW company is doing something right. I also love the ingredients… no corn or other grains to upset my little tummy, and the first ingredient is buffalo… yummy! There are also lots of vitamins and other good things to keep me healthy. This is my first Amazon post, and I hope my review will help other dogs who see this post make a smart decision when considering puppy food. Thank you for reading, and tell your owners about this. - MollyDate published: 2016-12-25Rated 5 out of 5 by Frgragg from Great food for our babies!!! We changed our girls food to Taste of the Wild Puppy and could not be more pleased!!! The food has made our girl look so healthy!! The big surprise is that as most knows a German Shepard sheds a lot of hair but feeding her Taste of Wild has reduced the shedding to a minimum!!! Wow we are so grateful to be able to get this good food for our baby and to see how healthy she looks!!!!Date published: 2018-04-17Rated 5 out of 5 by Mazza3506 from Perfect Pup food We rescued a 4 month old puppy from a hoarding situation. She was horribly under weight, her fur and skin were in bad shape. We have been feeding our other dogs Taste of the Wild for years. We had never used the puppy formula before so we gave it a chance. We were impressed with how quickly our little girls put on weight, thickened her very short coat, and how soft her coat became.Date published: 2018-04-21Rated 5 out of 5 by pvtcarlswife from the only food i will feed my pets We had a heart dog who owned us for 14 years. He ate TOTW High Prairie for 9 of those years, he never had any health issues. well, 1 ear infection his entire life, he died healthy and active from bloat. So when we decided it was time to get our new puppies, Australian Shepherds, the only brand we turned to was TOTW. They both love the food, they both are healthy and thriving, we did get them very young as the person that had them was ready for them to be gone at 4 weeks, they were eating TOTW Puppy High Prairie from 4 weeks, they are now 14 weeks and are active and healthy puppies. We also feed TOTW to our 2 cats.Date published: 2020-02-25Rated 5 out of 5 by Shachafit from Picky and sensitive pup loves it I have a czechoslovakian wolfdog pup, and ever since I brought her she never liked any of the dry foods I tried and always had diarrhea. Following many frustrating months, I contacted a breeder from abroad and she highly recommended feeding my pup with taste of the wild. My pup loves it and the diarrhea stopped almost immediately after she began eating this food, she gained lots of weight and her fur became lovely.Date published: 2016-10-27Hello, Can you tell more about the quality of the meat your company use in the food? Are they USDA inspected, human consumption quality? Any rendering? Or using meat from diseased or discarded animals? Thank you.
Hi, Angel - The meats in Taste of the Wild come from different sources, depending on the type of meat. All of our meats are of the highest quality and the food is processed to precise formula specifications each and every time. We do not use animals from rendering plants or diseased and discarded animals in our formulas - our meat suppliers are USDA inspected and approved. Ingredients used in Taste of the Wild come from the same sources, and are of the same grade and quality as human food. We routinely test and monitor every aspect of the manufacturing process, and work closely with our supply chains to confirm ingredient safety. Our ingredient suppliers are approved through a rigorous process intended to validate commitments to food safety and ingredient quality.

Hi MaHa, the calcium content in High Prairie Puppy is 1.4% as fed.Date published: 2016-12-08how much should I feed a 2 lb 1 1/2oz puppy per day
Hello, Sharon. Please call us at 800-342-4808 and give us some additional information about your puppy. We would love to help you figure out how much to feed the little one!Date published: 2017-01-01We feed TOTW High Prairie Adult Our female GSD will be having a litter of puppies. The Protein is lower at 29% in the puppy formula compared to 32% in the adult. Would it be more beneficial to leave her on the adult formula?
The High Prairie Puppy is formulated with the proper levels of calcium and phosphorus, critical nutrients for pregnancy, lactation and growth. The 29% protein is more than enough to meet the needs of your GSD while she is pregnant and we would advise you to transition to this formula when she is about half way through her pregnancy.Date published: 2017-03-10How many milligrams of omega 3 and omega 6 are there in a 1 cup serving? If it varies, just an estimate would help. Thanks!!

What's a good age to change to adult food?
Hello, since High Prairie Puppy is an all life stages formula, it can be continued indefinitely. At this age, a maintenance adult diet formula, such as High Prairie Canine, would also be an appropriate choice.Date published: 2017-02-27What is the percentage of the meat in this dog food?

Both our puppy and All Life Stages formulas include specific nutrients, like added DHA that aids in brain and eye development, to help your puppy grow to their full potential.

Hi, thank you for your question. Sorry to hear about your Corgi's bladder stones. There are several different types of stones and the treatment or management differs depending on the type of stone. Your dog may require a prescription diet to help eliminate or prevent future stones. We recommend that you talk with your veterinarian about the type of stones that your dog has and what the best diet would be.Date published: 2016-09-28Our 6 month old standard poodle had diarrhea for approximately one month. We called our vet right away and they put her through testing and medication series twice with no change. Now they're saying the dog food has too much protein. Is this common?
Hello, apologies for the delayed response. The protein levels in our puppy formulas do not commonly cause diarrhea in otherwise healthy puppies. You might consider trying our Pacific Stream Puppy formula, as it is a little lower in protein and is formulated with a different protein source (salmon rather than venison/bison). Dogs can develop intolerances or allergies to specific proteins, which may manifest as gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea. When this occurs, it is not necessarily the amount of protein that causes the problem, but rather the source of the protein.Date published: 2017-09-25I have a 5 month old Yorkipoo and a 6 week old Boxador. Can I feed both of them the High Prairie puppy formula with Roasted bison and roasted venison? Or because of the size difference, should I feed my yorkipoo a different formula?
Hello, Jenna and thanks for reaching out! High Prairie Puppy is an “all life stages” recipe, meaning it is formulated to meet the nutritional needs of healthy dogs of all ages and sizes and can be fed to both of your pups throughout adulthood. Please be sure to follow the feeding guide on the side gusset of the bag. If you are transitioning, we recommend a gradual transition to our High Prairie Puppy Formula. You can do this by starting with 25 percent of the recommended feeding portion of High Prairie mixed with 75 percent of the recommended feeding portion of the old recipe for 2-3 days. Then move to 50 percent of each for 2-3 days and then 75 percent of High Prairie with 25 percent of the old for 2-3 days before feeding High Prairie exclusively. If you have any questions, please contact us by visiting our website https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/contact-us/.Date published: 2018-10-25Have you changed the recipe? We received a new bag of puppy recipe today and the kibbles are bigger and a different color. Also, now my puppy won’t eat it when he used to love it
Hello, and thanks for reaching out! We have not made any recent recipe updates to our High Prairie Puppy Recipe. Please know, due to the natural variation in the ingredients and cooking process, the color and size of the kibble can vary between batches.

Hello and thank you for reaching out! Many pets enjoy eating more than one Taste of the Wild recipe, however, to avoid digestive upset, we do recommend limiting your rotation to two recipes and gradually mixing foods over a 7-10-day period.

Hello, and thanks for reaching out! To avoid digestive upset, we recommend limiting your rotation to two formulas and gradually mixing foods over a couple of weeks.

We recommend speaking to your veterinarian about rotation diets, as they best know your pet’s health.Date published: 2021-06-15Where is this food made?

Since High Prairie Puppy is an all life stages formula, it can be continued indefinitely. At this age, a maintenance adult diet would also be an appropriate choice.
