Taste of the Wild Grain Free High Protein Real Meat Recipe Appalachian Valley Premium Dry Dog Food, 28 lb.

My dog loves this food (which can't be said for all brands or flavors). The quality seems to be pretty good as it does not use cheap fillers, and he digests it very well. Thank you.

I've been feeding my dogs Acana and Orijen food for years with good results. However, this summer one of my dogs started to have digestive issues. After a few vet visits, labs, and some medications, the vet hypothesized that there was an issue with the food. I cycle through the bags (4lb) quickly, I have two other dogs eating the same food, and I'd tossed all of the food twice (as a precaution), so I didn't think it was likely. The working theory was that the heat that the food was being stored/transported in (before making it to the house) was making it unsuitable for my dog. Sounded plausible enough, so I switched back to Taste of the Wild.My two 6 pound Japanese Chins and one Tibetan Spaniel absolutely DEVOUR this food. The chins, with their tiny teeth, generally consume their food a bit more slowly. The kibble in this food is very small and breaks apart well for them, but does not crumble or generate too much dust in the container. Notably, this food is not nearly as oily as the other brands I was using. I have no idea if that was a factor with my dog, but she's doing well with the food change.On a final note: my dogs enjoy the food quite a bit. It does not have an overpowering smell in storage, or while serving. I don't know if anyone cares about this necessarily, but the dogs have normal, well-formed, relatively odor-less stools on this food. I highly recommend ToTW, and will probably switch to it exclusively.

I have an extremely finicky dog. I have tried MANY different brands of nutritious dog food but he will not eat any of them. This kibble is small, suited for small breeds and is very nutritious garnering high scores for its ingredients. As he has gotten older, I have began to add a moist topper to help him eat it but he still loves this brand.

Our dog just scoffs it up, like it better than any other we have given him

I had been wanting to try Taste of the Wild for quite some time. Well, not really me, but the dogs. Speaking for them, they are both small breeds and have trouble with larger kibbles. They could be observed having a much easier time with Taste of the Wild than they have had with other smaller kibble foods.The lesson learned there was that even though other foods may have the small kibbles, they can be hard as a rock and difficult to penetrate.My concern though is that they lost interest in the food after a few days. I checked out the bag to make sure there was nothing wrong as I know sometimes things happen with the bag having a hole in it or something else that may have led to the food being impacted. However, I found nothing wrong. I ended up finding yet another food for the dogs that they are going absolutely crazy for.Of course every dog individual and dog family has their own mood for what they will eat. I give this four stars because of the fact that they were able to eat it without looking like they were going to chip their teeth. But, there was definitely something that kept them from continuing to enjoy it. And no, it wasn't too many table scraps. :)

I was feeding my dog a zero grain name brand dog food prior to this. I thought it was ok, but then he started licking everything. He was chewing our carpet. I thought maybe my son had spilled something, but then I realized that I was filling the water bowl up to three times a day. Along with his weight gain I was concerned. I started looking up dog foods. I was planning on blending his old food with his new food, but the first time I put some in his bowl he ate around the old food... I know someone else wrote that in the reviews, too.. I was just surprised my dog did it as well. I didn't try to blend the food again. He had some minor stomach upset and burping the first day or so, but that went away. These pieces are very small. I am finding that he is slowing down on chewing the carpet. He still licks at this point, but if you're deficient in something it takes time to build it up. Also, he has decreased his water intake. He isn't overly active and in winter I found 3 bowls of water a day to be excessive. He is drinking half of that with this food. It makes me wonder how much sodium was in his previous food. There is only a $2 price difference for this food compared to the "trash" I was apparently feeding him before.. it's worth it. He's worth it.

Dog-boy loves this kibble! Had to go on a trial and error search for a new product after he wound up with a nasty yeast infection in his ears and was scratching himself all over. Hours of research and reading reviews led me to this variety of the TOTW products. For him, unlike a lot of other dogs, potatoes are the culprit - doesn't matter if they are white or sweet or how low on the list of ingredients it is. This has neither potatoes nor grains. I was unable to find any other reasonably affordable product that excluded both. In combination with some topical products and benadryl, we got the ears back to peachy, and his smile came back once all the itching went away. His coat and his eyes look great. He's back to being the goofy devil dog he is.Now I am talking about pencil eraser sized kibble and a 45# dog. Doesn't matter. It's tiny and I wet it well so that it actually slows him down a bit as he normally inhales whatever is put in front of him. It tastes so good, he goes back to lick the empty bowl hours later. Planning to buy it exclusively.

We have a male French Bulldog and have fed him some pretty expensive dog foods, but they produced such a gas problem for him (and us)!! This Taste of the Wild has basically stopped that issue all together!!! I have been totally amazed in the difference it has made!!! I recommend this highly!!
