Q & A

What is Taste of the Wild Canine Formula Dry Dog Food?

Taste of the Wild Canine Formula foods are hearty and nutritious meals for dogs of any age, size, or breed. Real lean cuts of meat and fish (certified hormone free and antibiotic free) provide highly digestible sources of protein, while sweet potato and peas are used to provide your dog with high levels of energy. Whole fruits and vegetables provide vitamins and antioxidants to boost your dog's immune system. This dog food also contains proteinates (protein compounds), which help your dog's body absorb the nutrients to get the most out of the food. Taste of the Wild is grain free, which makes it a great food for dogs with intolerances or allergies to grains.

•	Fruits and vegetables provide natural sources of antioxidants
•	Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids help maintain healthy skin and coat
•	Dried chicory root helps support a healthy digestive system
•	Naturally preserved

How it works:
Each batch of Taste of the Wild is cooked with water that is purified through reverse osmosis, the same process used by popular bottled water manufacturers. This helps to remove any microorganisms, organic and inorganic chemicals, and ensures the meats and meat meals are steamed (cooked) with purified water. Taste of the Wild provides your dog with a hearty meal that is not only delicious but also provides essential vitamins and antioxidants to stay healthy and active.

Transitioning Your Dog to Taste of the Wild:

•	Days 1 & 2: Feed 75% previous dog food and 25% Taste of the Wild.
•	Days 3 & 4: Feed 50% previous dog food and 50% Taste of the Wild.
•	Days 5 & 6: Feed 25% previous dog food and 75% Taste of the Wild.
•	Day 7: Feed 100% Taste of the Wild.

Tip: Digestive upset caused by a diet change can sometimes be prevented by mixing some non-fat plain yogurt in with your dog's food each day during the transition. The live cultures within the yogurt will help balance the flora within the digestive system and minimize flatulence or loose stools that are sometimes associated with a diet change.

Taste Of The Wild Dry Dog Food 5 5 24 24

Wont give dogs any other food We picked this food because of the ingredient breakdown, and were extremely pleased to see Bison as the primary ingredient-- Not corn, or any of the other stuff thats put in foods like Alpo or Beneful (both rated worst dog foods). My dogs have very healthy stools, and we never have digestive problems. Their coats are extremely shiny and smooth, and their skin is in good shape too. All of that plus their energy shows the food is healthy and good for them. FYI: We have two mutts- an 8 year old chow/rottweiler mix and a 2 year old gsd mix. 05/13/2013

great food I have two gods, a two year old Shepard mix and a husky puppy. This food is great because it can be fed to all age groups. It is very nice to not have to worry about keeping their food separate. Since this food is so high in nutrients they don't have to eat as much, but it does give them some excess energy to burn off. I take my dogs to the park regularly regardless so this is not a problem for me. It makes their coats look and feel great! The best things about this food though is that meat is the first ingredient. Dogs naturally do not eat grain, it is only used as a filler in cheaper foods. This may be a little pricey compared to Iams, but to me it is worth the cost. But compared to other food of equal quality, it's price is very fair. 04/24/2013

Puppies Love it! Our two Siberian husky puppies absolutely love Taste of the Wild. We started them out on the puppy version and now that they are going on 10 month, we took our breeder's advice and switch them to the adult food. they cant get enough of it! Their coats are nice and healthy and they are full of energy Highly recommend this food for anyone 02/28/2013

Excellent Dog Food! Both our German Shepherd and our Shepherd/Great Dane mix love this food. Our female (the full bred GSD) has suffered from food allergies since we adopted her and she has not responded to a single food as well as she has this brand. She itches far less, her coat is healthier and shiner (and not as dry!), and she is energetic, playful, and full of life. We have tried over half a dozen different "grain free" dog foods but the results we experienced once we started her on this food have been remarkable and we haven't so much as considered purchasing another brand since. She is even off of her prescription allergy medication now, and has been doing wonderfully. We are very satisfied with this product, even despite it's higher cost compared to some other brands. It is well worth the investment and we find that, since it is such a high quality food, we actually feed them slightly less of it than we have other foods in the past to satisfy their daily requirements. All in all, the slight increase in cost is WELL WORTH the investment in our opinions and we are more than completely satisfied with this product. 02/09/2013

Fantastic Product When I adopted my Min Pin Willis, it was clear he was in the throws of an allergic reaction to something. One trip to the vet and we determined it was something in his diet. My local pet supply store told me about Taste of the wild dog food and within two weeks I could see a huge difference! Now three months later, no allergies and he has the shiniest black coat you have ever seen, plus he gobbles it down like like there's no tomorrow! I highly recommend this food to anyone wanting to do better for their pet. 12/18/2012

Can TOTW cause my dog to bloat?

I am gradually mixing his old canned food with the bison/venison dry food because of a skin allergy and he's doing well with that but he seems to be bloated. Is this something I should attend to?

Answers

Answer:

I haven't had any issues with bloating as a result of feeding TOTW but changes in your dog's diet in general could be causing your dog's system to become a little irregular/funky during the transition. We feed TOTW consistently without digestive issues, but before finding TOTW we tried out around a dozen different foods and every time we switched foods (even when done very gradually) our dogs experienced some form or fashion of digestive upset.

Not sure if this is the case for your dog but I know that mine took a couple of weeks for their systems to fully adjust to TOTW.

Answer:

Bloating could be a few things. Constipation, irritable bowel syndrome and the most common which is weight gain, just to name a few. I would definitely suggest to speak to the vet (especially if your pet has had any recent changes in medications) and also maybe start with less food portions too. :)
