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: 2016-10-27I have a 4 month old 9 lbs miniature schnauzer. Should we be feeding her 2 or 3 times daily?
The frequency that you feed your puppy is a matter of personal preference. For puppies 4-6 months old, consider feeding 2-3 times per day, and transitioning her to 2 times per day at 6 months.Date published: 2017-03-10Is the puppy formula good for dogs prone to yeast infections in the ear?
Hello, thanks for contacting us. Our on-staff veterinarians indicate that yeast infections can be a symptom of allergies. There are a number of causes of allergies in dogs; only about 20 percent are food-related. For dogs with food allergies, you may consider our Pacific Stream Puppy Recipe which is a limited protein source diet or our Pacific Stream Canine Recipe if your dog is an adult. In addition, our Sierra Mountain Canine Recipe and PREY Limited Ingredient Recipes are All Life Stages recipes and may be good options. We recommend consulting with your veterinarian to help you determine the cause and appropriate treatment for your dog’s yeast infections.Date published: 2022-04-11What is the % of Calcium and Phosphorus in this formula.

The amount listed in the feeding guide is the recommended total number of 8-ounce measuring cups (standard kitchen measuring cup) that your pet should eat per day. According to the feeding guide, your 5-month old puppy should be eating approximately 3 2/3 cups per day. Feeding amounts can be adjusted based on the age, breed and activity level of your pet. If you have any additional questions, please contact us at https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/contact-us. Additionally, we recommend consulting your veterinarian to determine the best diet for your puppy.Date published: 2020-10-20Does any of your food contain glucosamine to help with joints for dogs such a english bulldogs?

Hi, Kathy. Taste of the Wild is not produced with ingredients that contain gluten. However, the food is not produced in a totally gluten-free facility, which means there may be trace amounts of gluten in the food.Date published: 2017-03-10Our dog is doing great on this receipt.

Hello and thanks for your question! TOTW is committed to using as many GMO-free ingredients as possible in our recipes. However, there are ingredients that are critical to an animal’s health that are not available GMO-free in an adequate supply. Our choice is to include these ingredients or manufacture our foods without them, which, in our view, would not be in the best interest of your pet.

Hi dqasomis, thanks for your question. High Prairie Puppy contains 1.4% calcium, as-fed.Date published: 2016-10-25How do you soften this puppy food to give to young puppies to start weaning??
Hello and thanks for your question! Soaking kibble in water is often suggested when first transitioning puppies to dry food because it is easier for them to chew. We recommend combining three parts kibble to one-part water 10-15 minutes before serving. Once your pup is used to it, it is not necessary to continue soaking the food. If you have any questions, please contact us by visiting our website https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/contact-us/.Date published: 2018-09-17I know there are a TON of questions regarding the calcium percentage.

He is 8 weeks old. My vet recommended that I put him on Royal Canin. She said that it has the calcium and gluecosamine that he would need.

Hello and thanks for reaching out! Our High Prairie Puppy Recipe with Roasted Bison & Roasted Venison contains 1.4% calcium on an as-fed basis. As for the gluecosamine, pet food regulations only allow glucosamine and chondroitin to be added to adult dog foods. We recommend feeding large breed puppies a formula labeled for puppies or all life stages until they are 12-18 months of age; this will ensure that they receive the appropriate amount of calcium and all other nutrients as they are developing. This recipe is formulated to meet the nutritional needs of all growing puppies, including large breeds.

Hello, thanks for contacting us! Our High Prairie Puppy Recipe meets the nutritional needs of dogs of all sizes, including giant breeds.

The feeding guides provide a starting point and can be adjusted based on your dog’s activity level and body condition. As always, we encourage you to work with your veterinarian to determine an appropriate weight and adjust feeding amounts as necessary. Additionally, all our puppy recipes have the same kibble size; they are barrel shaped and approximately the size of a pencil eraser.

Hello, and thanks for reaching out! Most of the ingredients in Taste of the Wild originate in the U.S. There are critical ingredients, (i.e. folic acid and taurine)that can only be obtained from China. In addition, our lamb meal comes from New Zealand and dried chicory root from Belgium. We believe leaving out these ingredients would not be in the best interest of your pet. All of our dog and cat recipes are manufactured in five state-of-the-art Taste of the Wild facilities in the USA. Out of an abundance of caution, Taste of the Wild had a voluntary recall in 2012 due to potential product contamination. Further product testing revealed that no Taste of the Wild product was contaminated. We are committed to product safety and quality, which is why we adhere to stringent and scientifically advanced food safety protocols. We test and monitor our manufacturing process: pre-production, production, and post-production. To learn more, please visit our website at https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/quality-assurance/. Please know, all of our recipes are complete and balanced and meet both the FDA and the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) guidelines.

As a breeder of top quality Cavaliers, I've been feeding this food for years and recommending it to new puppy families. The last bag I got was DIFFERENT in kibble size and color and everyone is having diarrhea. What's up?
Hello and thanks for reaching out. We’re very sorry to hear about your Cavaliers’ diarrhea and hope they are on the mend! Due to the natural variation in the ingredients and cooking process, the color of the kibble varies occasionally. Regardless, we’d like to look into this further. Can you please submit an inquiry at https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/contact-us/ and include the bag’s production code? On our 14 and 28-pound bags, the production code can be found on the back of the bag. On our 5-pound bags, the production code can be found on the side gusset of the bag. Thank you!Date published: 2020-01-06I'm thinking of transitioning my 8 1/2 month old Bullmastiff puppy to your High Sierra Puppy food. He currently weighs 106 pounds and is obviously still growing. How much of your food should I be giving him after the transition
Hello, Mike and thanks for your interest in TOTW! According to our feeding guide (located on the side gusset of the bag and each recipe’s product page), your Bullmastiff puppy should be eating around 6 cups of High Prairie Puppy each day. If you’re looking for the feeding amount for Sierra Mountain Canine, the recommended serving would be 6 ¼ cups per day. As an all life stages recipe, Sierra Mountain Canine was designed for dogs of all ages and sizes and can be fed to your furry friend throughout adulthood. Please know, the amounts listed on the feeding guide can vary as the recommendations are a starting point. Some dogs may require more or less food than the guidelines depending on activity level and other factors. Additionally, your veterinarian can help you determine the best feeding guide for you dog based on his needs. If you have any questions, please contact us by visiting our website https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/#contact-us.Date published: 2020-10-18I have 2 months old cane corso pup. Please advise me the amount in grams per day of Taste of the wild puppy dry feed.
Hello, thanks for contacting us. The recommended feeding amount for your Cane Corso puppy will depend on their age and weight. Our feeding guides, which are listed on the packaging as well as on the individual product pages of our website, are offered as starting points to determine the right amount to feed and can be adjusted based on the age, breed and activity level of your pet. The amount listed in the feeding guide is the recommended total number of 8-ounce measuring cups (standard kitchen measuring cup) that your pet should eat per day. Since one cup weighs approximately 110 grams, to find the recommended feeding amount in grams you can take the amount listed in the feeding guide, convert the amount to a decimal number, then multiply that amount by 110 to get the recommended number of grams to feed per day. If you have any additional questions, please contact us by visiting https://totw.pet/contact-us.Date published: 2022-12-12I have a 2 month old GSD puppy. Since they grow fast I know he needs large breed puppy food. He hasn't been eating much so I decided to get him this brand. I have yet to feed him with it but my question will this puppy food help with his rapid growth??
Hello, our High Prairie Puppy formula provides excellent nutrition for puppies of all sizes and breeds. Our High Prairie Puppy formula has special features to help support optimal health and well-being for growing puppies.Date published: 2017-02-16Hello, I am a 9 week old male Pitbull and was wondering if I can switch off each month between your two dry puppy options or do I need to wean?
Many pets enjoy eating more than one Taste of the Wild formula. For puppies, it is important that the flavors you choose are labeled for specifically for puppies or for all-life-stages. Since the digestive tracts of younger dogs tend to be more sensitive, we recommend gradually mixing foods over a couple of weeks, slowly reducing the amount of the old formula and increasing the new formula.Date published: 2017-03-10I have been feeding my puppy the recommended amount of your High Prairie Puppy Formula. We are almost done with our first 30 lb. bag. She has had 50% normal stools and 50% diarrhea. Not a great ratio. The vet says to change her food.... ideas? Thank you
Hi, Aujo. Thanks for reaching out and we are sorry to hear about your puppy’s diarrhea! Please know, there are numerous factors that can affect stool consistency in puppies. Intestinal parasites are a very common cause of diarrhea in puppies – if your vet has not already done so, we recommend connecting with him/her to ensure intestinal parasites are ruled out. In the meantime, we would like to learn more about your puppy, so we can provide the best formula recommendation based on her needs. Can you email us by visiting https://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/contact-us/?Date published: 2018-04-12
